Holy fuck I haven't had a rush this intense in gaming in a long time
I was doing VHRT for the cargo. Last two nights were shit, I got crimstats lvl 3 night after night because of some bug where there's civilians in multicrew ships and once you kill red targets thinking they're bounties you get crimstat.
So tonight I was really careful, observing that the ships are shooting at me and not at each others (which would tell that a target is bugged).
I scored some Gasping weevil eggs and Maze. Nothing crazy like youtube videos but it's my first loot. I do 3 more VHRT and again score weevil eggs, which are worth a fortune. Small sCU container for both case, but beggars can't be choosers.
So anyway, during all this, as I grab the weevil egg cargo, electricity shuts down, it's snowing here and we always have some fragile power lines because there's too many mature trees with branches touching them.
I'm like that's it, all gone for sure, I'll log back and everything will be gone, I'll spawn at bed like usual. Electricity comes back and I log in ASAP. Holy shit! I'm in space in the asteroid field!? But where's my freaking ship? I seem to be drifting in it. I look around for like 2 minutes, nothing, I'm like welp, I'm gonna die without a ship, might suicide... last look, there's a faint orange glow... Zoom in, my freaking ship is there, so far. I EVA'd in space to my ship for 10 minutes. I grab the Weevil egg cargo on my way as that spawned back with me too. Get into the ship. I can't believe this shit. Imagine that, I had to change server during all this re-connection shit.
So I go sell maze drugs to CRU-L4. They don't take Weevil eggs which I kind of read about before so not too surprised. They can only be sold at scrapyards. I'm like... no way the Daymar one is not a warzone since it's kind of PVP'ish around Crusader, lots of traffic. I quantum boost to scrapyard around Arccorp, Some moon named Wela iirc. Anyway this is super stressful as there's tons of videos on youtube of peoples just camping the scrapyard, as you have to exit the ship you're open to be killed and then they'll loot / steal your ship. Mind you, I'm not carrying that much cargo of weevil eggs, but I have to get rid of it somehow. I didn't even have a gun or armor, I was white suit from spawning with the tractor beam tool.
Video for example of those scrapyards
So I get to the scrapyard on Wela. I look around, seems empty enough but its night, I have no clue if I can even scan the area for players... So I land and DASH to the terminal in the scrapyard... I get there and... I can't sell the eggs, there's no demand
I rush back to ship because I feel a single bullet will end the day. I say fuck it, let's aim for the Daymar scrapyard. I QT there, at least its day time on that moon side.. there's a TON of destroyed ships, an Ares ION with lights on, I really don't feel I'm gonna live this through but I have to sell these damn eggs.
I land, again I DASH to the terminal. As I reach the terminal (no guns on me), there's a dead guy right in front of it
I'm telling myself I'm dead at this point, I open the terminal and try to sell the damn eggs, which I managed to do finally. 3 sCU for like ~380k. I get back to my ship alive, LEAVE the fuck off and then a mantis player appeared on radar and locked me, but I escaped, had nothing more in cargo anyway.
So that was a ~500k run. Small fries compared to peoples making ~5M a go. But it's my first successful run.
What a fucking rush to run on that scrapyard with dead ships and bodies everywhere. Gonna try again tomorrow night.
