A few days into the trial I got an email saying that I could get various free things if I subscribed before March 1st. For the one-month option the reward was a Venture. It turned out they were bluffing though. I totally got one over on them by being lazy, which is one of my strengths. Today they emailed me to say that my trial was, sadly, over, but that I could still subscribe and feel the power of internet spaceships even now. So I did, and I still got the free Venture, which I much prefer to not having a Venture.
But seriously, I've got Frigate 5 and I'm on to Astrometrics now. It's going to be a month or two before I can get into a CovOps properly. I've started looking at fits and will continue to do so.
That's all I have for now.
