Leaving the US World of Warcraft server, I find myself with an opportunity to play in another static group on my old EU server. It's only two of us in total, myself and Melmoth, and will only be once a week, but it is the adventure that lies ahead ...

The top crane companies transport ship is gorgeous. Sleek and manoeuvrable, it powers through the void at 9 AU/second, aligning and and entering warp in the blink of an eye. Even though its base speed is slower than a shuttle the higher warp speed, far superior cargo hold, ...
