Flight and Flying, Monday, May 23, 2016

[sith_happened]

Anakin was back in front of the flight simulator, sipping coffee. "Welcome back," he said. "Hopefully your weekend was less eventful than last week's."

"And if not, tough, because today we're dealing with freighters," Jaina told them. "You're going to get to see my dad's ship, which is a YT-1300 freighter, complete with hidden compartments and plenty of other not-extremely-legal upgrades, including weaponry. It's a great ship, but unfortunately it's also approximately three hundred years old, and is constantly in need of repairs."

Anakin's cough only sounded a little bit like "piece of junk." Really. "Sometimes that's the ship you can afford, though," Anakin said. "Most people don't get a brand new ship as their first one. So today you'll learn to fly a ship with some...quirks."

"Do what you can, and good luck. You're definitely going to need it." Jaina was so helpful.

Frank just started spinning essentially at random and without knowing quite how he started it. He got through the asteroids with surprisingly little damage, although that is a very important qualifier. There wasn't a hull breach, but the exterior had much more characters than it did before. Like dents and scratches and a large rock stuck in the side.
