Sigh. I figured I’d waste a bit more time before heading in to work this afternoon, so I’ve been playing some more EVN. It’s rather annoying… on my Federation campaign, I am now wanted in like 4 different Fed systems. I can’t land on Earth to get my next plot mission.

My fleet had consisted of 4 pirate enterprises, one fed destroyer (carrier edition), and one pegasus for cargo capacity. I am flying a rebel issue destroyer with a trade-in of 4.5 mil – 8 main guns, 5 turrets. It’s a mean ship. However, the problem is that apparently the AI on my fleet was not the best. I am now down to two of the enterprises because I sold the destroyer and the rest got themselves blown up when they aggroed Fed navies and thus earned me a bit of infamy.

So, now I am hanging out on the remote edges of Fed space, pillaging pirate ships in the hopes that I will get enough favor back with my government that I’ll be able to land on Earth again.

I really want to be able to buy a Fed carrier. It’s annoying me that I’m so far into the campaign and they’ve not rewarded me with any tech yet. Oh well. Maybe I’ll just run guns for a bit or something to spite them.

It is not cool when your body decides that it will ignore the impulses of intentionally drowsificating chemicals. This happened once before – but it was early on in my treatment. So, here I am awake… and with enough sedatives in me that I really shouldn’t be able to sit upright, much less walk around and play video games and stuff. Sigh. Figures, since I need to be in to work early tomorrow (this) morning.

On the bright side, I made some more progress on one of my Escape Velocity games. I beat the Vell-os campaign like a year ago, beat the Polaris campaign this week, and have been stuck on the last Pirate mission since shortly after I beat the game for the first time. This leaves the game I was playing right now (Fed) in addition to the Auroran and Rebel campaigns before I have officialy done the whole thing. I tried the Rebel campaign once before but that file must have been deleted and my every attempt to even start on the Auroran plot line has been thwarted by the nasty evil RNG demons.
