Freestar Collective quest: Deputized, second half (continuation)
(I made a mistake with the order of the quests. "Where Hope is Built" is the next quest. I thought that Deputized is completed after getting the Deputy badge. Later I realized that this part was only the first half of the quest.)

The next destination of my team was a farm on Montara Luna

We were eagerly awaited

A group of Ruffians intimated the woman who runs the farm

The Ruffians were hiding in the canyon. Their footprints were the only trace.

While following the tracks a number of creatures attacked us, such as this one

The Ruffians' camp

The leader of the Ruffians

Charon: "That escalated quickly."

The Ruffians didn't stand a chance against my team. After Charon showed Ranger Wilcox the slate that she took from the Ruffian Leader's corpse the mission was completed.

Before Charon returned to Akila City to get the next mission, she wanted to explore the moon a little more:

Charon was tired of being the pawn of SysDef (the UC faction dedicated to fighting piracy) and the Crimson Fleet. She further came to the conclusion that neither of them should have the great treasure. It's better if the treasure stays lost in space. Being a double agent was exciting but very soon the day would come when she would have to choose one side, . Somehow she took a liking to Delgado. Therefore she won't turn against him. She doesn't want to fight the UC either because being part of the UC brings many conveniences, especially when she becomes a citizen. Luckily, she doesn't need to complete the double agent mission in order to get the citizenship.

Spoiler

The UC Vanguard quests that revolve around the Terrormorphs lead to the UC citizenship.

There's still the other UC Vanguard mission (see first paragraph of this post) but like so many other things, this one can wait.

She now gathered enough experience to continue the Freestar Collective storyline...

"Charon: Now I'm ready."

After completing the first half of the "Deputized" quest she became a deputy

Freestar Collective quest: Where Hope is Built Deputized, second half
(Edit: Where Hope is Built is the next quest)

Charon: "... and is the seat comfortable enough?"

"Where is Vasco again?"

I've long since given up looking for Vasco and summon him with Come Here instead.

Charon: "Now that we are complete, we can finally travel to our destination."

To be continued...

What does this rock formation remind you of?

Charon's current ship, an Ecliptic Claymore

How she got the ship:
The ship landed near a farm on Jemison. When she boarded the ship, no one was there. She couldn't take it at first because she lacked the last rank in Piloting. So she had no choice but to leave the ship and come back later once she reached this rank. As soon as she left the ship, the crew, a squad of Ecliptic, came towards her. She defeated them and went to the UC Vanguard pilot simulator to destroy ships. After enough ships were destroyed she reached the necessary rank and she could finally call the giant ship her own.

Quest: Breaking the Bank

"Just stop grinning like a Cheshire cat."

Thinking of the a plan

"Does he know something?"

...I left parts out to avoid major spoilers...

Farewell to the luxury ship

Inside the bank

It's one of the best quests I played so far. I loved the interrogation part on the luxury ship to get a certain item that will bring Charon closer to the treasure that Delgado recently spoke about. And:

Spoiling the party of the rich people was a lot of fun.

Charon finally earned enough Credits to buy the Shieldbreaker:

But think I will just stick with the customized Thresher for now because I like its inner layout more and it has a better mobility than the Shieldbreaker (and I don't want to change the look of the Shieldbreaker). I will keep the Shieldbreaker as part of my ship collection.

Maiden flight of the customized Thresher

The big pirate boss (of the Crimson Fleet)

You feel welcome here

Charon: "I'm not the only one who was invited."

Delgado: "So, now that we're all here... It's time to get down to business."

What Delgado is up to (mild spoiler): He and the candidates, including Charon, should find clues to a really big treasure in the former prison on the icy planet below his space station.

Quest: Echoes of the past

Inside the prison

"Charon: Crap, we are trapped!"
"Was that just a stupid coincidence or did Delgado have something to do with it? ... It's no use for me to think about it any longer..."
"We must find another way out of this... Mathis, get off your butt!"

In search of an exit Mathis got stuck

I freed him with the power of the "MoveTo" console command.

Mathis and Charon finally reached the exit after a successful scavenger hunt and after defeating a horde of enemies

Shortly before the departure the head of the prison paid his respects. Charon and Mathis welcomed him with a fireworks display of laser beams and bullets.
He was immediately blown away.

Escape from the planet

Charon: We have survived. This must now be celebrated!"

Fate gave Charon another ship

She actually stole it from some colonists on Akila (bad girl!). It's a Thresher...
And good old Vasco smuggled himself into the picture

My first try on customizing a ship with the ship builder.

Charon and I now have a ship that fulfills many of our needs: enough cargo space, all kinds of crafting benches, more living space and more protection against attacks.

Haven't we forgotten something? The pirate boss! Well, I spent hours trying to find my way around the ship builder and creating a design that I am satisfied with. It's getting pretty late and I want to watch a few more episodes of the Death Note anime series before I go to bed

.

Last but not least, two night pictures

I paused the UC Vanguard mission that started on Mars (and that is centered around a certain vicious creature) because it led to an attack of a city I'm really fond of (I reloaded the save after this happened). Luckily, I was offered two missions to choose between and I only need one of them to progress in the UC Vanguard quest line. So I decided to do the undercover mission instead.

Before Charon went to the UC Vigilance (flagship of the UC Navy) she paid a visit to Deimos Staryard where she enjoyed the view of Mars

But that wasn't the main reason she was there. She wanted to know what kind of ships Deimos had on offer. Unfortunately, none of them piqued her interest. They haven't enough cargo space.

Then Charon got sidetracked again and explored the wilderness of Akila

I installed Call Your Ship to call my ship anytime and where I want

Charon sold the loot from her last adventures and finally flew to the UC Vigilance. She took some notes after the briefing with the commander:

"I have to infiltrate the pirates. This will be child's play."
So she has enough self-confidence. Nothing more can go wrong...

Docking with another ship for the first time

No, I didn't ram it on my first try this time

Detour to Europa to gather resources

Charon on Charon
(Yes, I have named her after one of Pluto's moons

)

I maxed out her Boost Pack Training skill and gave her a better boost pack. So she can stay in the air indefinitely (on planets/moons with low gravity at least) because the fuel regenerates quickly enough.

Vanguard mission on Mars

Charon is looking for a scientist. She needs his help to avert a catastrophe.

But she doesn't let herself get worked up by it and takes time to take a snapshot together with her faithful robot companion Vasco

I love exploring the diverse regions of Jemison and their flora and fauna. This time, Charon visited the icy region in the southern hemisphere of the planet.

Evening sky

Icy plain

Charon came across the Autonomous Dogstar Factory, a location that is randomly placed in your game which means it can appear elsewhere in a different playthrough. It's protected by robots. There are some details in the factory that I found interesting:

Funny drawing

It would be cool to have this prosthesis as an equipment item in the game

"Jumping into this would be a really bad idea."

I agree, but I did it nevertheless to test how long one could survive there wearing the space suit. I won't recommend doing it without making the suit OP with regards to heat resistance.

After several days of exploring, Charon had the urge to do some missions to earn more Credits for a new spaceship. So she agreed to help the United Colonies (UC).

First, their security division

Then their navy, the Vanguard

To become a member of the Vanguard, you need to complete the pilot simulator and a test mission. There's an exhibition about the history of the UC on the way to the simulator.

The next day, Charon decided that the Constellation and their "important" matters could wait. She has a lot of other things to do that are more important like delivering a box with vegetables to a space station.

"These vegetables are the first step to my commercial empire. But now I need to collect some money to buy a better ship which has more cargo space..."

"Stop dreamin', Charon..."
"That was close... Anyway, I managed to dock with the space station on the first try."

I actually rammed the ship into the space station on the first try (I simply overlooked the display for docking

), however, I'm glad there's the possibility to reload a savegame. That's why Charon still thinks she got it right on the first try. If only she knew

Taking off to the next adventure

I found this adorable cat plushie in an outpost full of Spacers

I also found a really nice helmet at the outpost that goes well with her new spacesuit (I bought the space suit at UC Surplus in New Atlantis: The Well)

"Anyone who comes too close to my ship will have to deal with me."

Charon met a tourist space ship on the way to Hawley

"I have never experienced such curious people."

And last but not least Charon successfully "acquired" a space ship from some outlaws on Hawley (which she sold to the Ship Services Technician in New Atlantis)
