Star Date 214.14.5 (4th April 2014)
The Rain Maker mission is now complete, and payment has been received. What's a guilder, anyway?
--------------------------------------------------
Payment for a Job Well Done:
The captain produces the data on the comet mission and this is passed
over to the civilian astronomers for confirmation. Eventually they are
satisfied that the mission was a success and the 150 guilders are handed
over.
- Payment received (150 guilders)
--------------------------------------------------
In the Cargo Report section of my turn results, it says:
CARGO
150 Guilder (30000) - 0 mus
One does not have to play the pre-set missions, in order to play Phoenix:BSE. Yet, it is advisable to play them, is my understanding. I am paying them, to obtain familiarity with issuing orders.
Now, I turn the Simian Star's attention to another mission - Aid Emigrating Kastorians.
Captain's Personal Log: OK, I receive my first in-game money. I have accomplished a mission. Yet, what do I feel? Not much of anything - at least, not at this point in time. There's no sense of urgency, no sense of importance. I am doing the missions, not because I want to, but just to see what they are like, and how well that they teach me how to play the game. Rather than playing a space game, I feel like I am doing chores. Just more tedium, at this point in time.
