Mission briefing
Okay, here's one for you. Don't look at me like that. Yes, it's a load of metal scraps we need taken to a reclamation facility at <Station>. Contrary to popular belief, our ships are not made solely of scrap-metal, utility adhesive and chewing gum, but we do recycle extensively.

The reason I'm asking you to do this rather than hiring a much cheaper regular captain is that these bits are industrial quality, or they will be once they've been processed. They're worth a lot of cred on the black market – peanuts to you capsuleers, but a year's wages to anyone else.

Reclamation and Improvisation
In the early days of space travel, after so long under the yoke of Amarr, the Minmatar were required to make do with what little they could find, with limited facilities and funding. The ability to create space-worthy ships from the most unlikely of materials became legendary. In the present-day Republic, scarcity is no longer a problem, but materials are still stretched as far as engineers can make them go for the sake of pride in their efficiency.
