Hadn't thought about that, actually.  Will see if that works.

Backed the kickstarter to the Cobra+1000cr+1000cr-worth-of-goods level, 
so I've been using that.

I'll have to go back to my starting system to hawk my Freagle, had been 
wondering about it, then noticed it listed in the shipyard.  After I was 
at a system far enough away that I'd rather push on than go back for the 
cash value.

Speaking of pushing on:  a) FSD speed limit is 2001 c (I see what they 
did there) b) according to an old post on the forum, my attempting to go 
to Sol from Alpha Centauri the long way 'round (since I have a permit 
for Founders World, not Sol) might not be possible, even if I leave my 
ship run for the 18 hours needed.  Unless they changed that.

There were some unidentified signal sources when I was Out There that I 
didn't bother checking out, might (or might not) be worthwhile.

My commander name is Whitacre.
