Back to the place I come from. Nothing changed since I was last here,
but I visited the local canteen. Man, was that an odor! I turned back
and ate something in my ship - I wasn't attracted by the smell.. Eat
in the canteen? Nope, yuck!

Just checked the prices at Stockmarket and ads on the BBS. Nothing
interesting, but a walk across the "New ships" hangar was surprisingly
interesting. A great Imperial Explorer was being checked and serviced.
I stopped for a while and thinked how it must be like to be piloting
such a great ship. I'm getting tired, so I'll probably have a nap.

So, filled up the cargo space with Hydrogen fuel, as usually, going to
Beinin - an excellent system to have a couple days off... But why I
want to go there is the orange K-class star. I've managed to land on a
red star, so why not try landing on an orange one?

So, inbound for New Jordan. It's in a desert and a nice small-scale
civil war is going on there. You know - people buy slaves, give them
hand weapons and send them -> Go and fight! Heh, and they just look at
the battle and have a good drink. Wow, what a life!

Well, autopilot is landing neatly. No encounters on the way in. It's
night here and quite cold, pleasant. Not the 70C temperatures like
during the day! Well, I'll go to a bar and look at what they have to
offer. Maybe I'll go and look at a battle of Slaves riding Farm
machinery and robots...

Visited some bars, but the prices are exorbitant! I should not have
been surprised, the price for a tonne of liquor is 911.8 Cr! But I
bought a drink and a glass of fruit juice (surely it's synthetic) and
watched the yesterday's battle on holo. They complain that the supply
of slaves is limited and they have to heal them with medicines!
TRANSMISSION RECEIVED:
  Hello Commander, just a quick note that we at the GCC are
  keeping an eye on you...

So, off to the orange star of Beinin! Just some 0.293 AU of flight.
Glancing at the rear view I see a Gecko unloading at the port - surely
a new shipment of slaves.

Damn fuel scoops! As I was entering the corona of Beinin, I was
awakened from the stardreamer only to see the FS working sign.

So, final 10000 m of descent. The gravity is quite horrible, much
worse than on that red star I have been to before. But I have to work
now, or the star will smite me!

Landed!!!! It was better than expected. At first, I used vertical
landing profile, then at about 400 m levelled the ship and added more
thrust to the bottom thruster, keeping the velocity at about 80 kmh.
Now, the Harris is sitting (or whatever) on the surface of Beinin.
Time to make some cool photos!!!!!!!

Enough of loitering here, I hope the photos will come out nicely. Off
and back to space, I'll go to Bellport.

Now the take-off wash cruel! "Attention: Reverse Thruster Damaged"
"Attention: 1t of Hydrogen Fuel Destroyed" Hull:61.4%
I'm glad I'm still alive... Now quickly to Bellport to repair the
damage. But it was worth it, the photos are great!

Ship repaired and I sold some hydrogen fuel to locals. They had only
3t in stock, so I was merciful and sold them 7 more.
