Or I could simply fly off, scan ships, and hope to come across somebody with a price on their head. I could take a far more lucrative, far more dangerous assassination contract that would span multiple systems and signal sources. These I'd find in Unknown Signal Sources, activity nodes that spawn at random throughout space and are frequently tailored to the missions you're following-I might find a few canisters of biowaste floating in the void, or I might find a squadron of pirates to take down in pursuit of my contract. I could take a general contract from the bulletin board at Gernsback to kill a set number of pirates in the system. Perfect.īounty hunting takes a number of forms. Of the 400 billion star systems allegedly simulated, then, I chose this one: it had a pretty world, a story of fringe resistance waiting to be told, and a station named after the father of science fiction. Their influence isn't high enough to shunt the sector towards Imperial dominion, but their ships are everywhere. The Empire has a presence, however, in the form of a regional splinter group called the Lords of Psi Octantis. Psi Octantis is governed by a corporation and as such is free from Federation, Alliance or Imperial control. I'd quite like to go there, should Frontier ever add the ability to land on planets. Kane is a vast white gas giant, but Kanaloa is an Earth-like garden world with plenty of water. I found that in Psi Octantis, a system with two planets, Kanaloa and Kane, and a single station, Gernsback Settlement. I wanted somewhere free from any of the galaxy-spanning governments, with enough money to generate profitable contracts and at least one fully-equipped station. The choice was part practicality, part personal taste.
