None of them really. You're not EMP proof but you're the next best thing.
All right, I'll do an update tonight.
+21360Y (I'm too lazy to double check that)
-18500Y
2860Y left, armor upgraded (+2), jump drive enabled.

GM SUGGESTION INSERT
--Buy more fuel capacity, as not only does it refill your tank but you're going to need it if you want to jump more than a couple times.
--Buy a commodity, even if it's illegal. Chances are while you'll likely see a ship soon, the chances are it will be a hostile bandit rather than a hardworking cop.
END GM INSERT

Illicit trade:
Fuxi (1050Y per unit): An illegal, psychotropic drug made mostly from plant extracts. Known to run very high prices even in the drug trade for it's relatively low damage to one's system.
Eroho (670Y per unit): A drug you've never seen before. The locals seem to like it, and it fetches a good price. You doubt it's well known outside of Hali.
Kirin (5000Y per unit): An incredibly rare drug manufactured in secret by a single syndicate. It's incredibly powerful and used in a spray form, spraying the eye directly. It has effects such as making time feel as though it's slowed down. It's very pure and very hard to obtain, but few ever become truly addicted.
Deep Pulse Wave Cannon Gamma Class : 80000Y
Very destructive, much like a ship-sized shotgun. Requires an energy source.
Yttrium Alloy Nuclear Battery 12000Y
Nuclear-tooled battery with great storage ability. Useful for high-energy consuming weapons, but otherwise not worth it.

EVENT
You see a merchant in the black market leading a veritable "chain gang" of scantily clad girls; you notice none of them dare make eye contact with anyone. You know that they're meant to be slaves, such is the nature of the black market, but you can't help but feel bad for them, shackled wrists connected and being pulled along by a cruel overseer. One of them glances up at you quickly through long, blond hair- and quickly looks back down as the overseer glances back.
You should do something, but you're unarmed and you don't really want to start anything in the market. You doubt you'd have been able to do anything anyway. Feeling a little depressed about the whole affair, you continue browsing the market.

EVENT
Your crew, their paychecks (and yours) coming through the government for your "continued explorations of border worlds", go to a local bar. There you are introduced to a third race: the Nimix. Tall, graceful beings with large, curved horns coming from their head, this race looks much like a stretched-out human with horns. They breathe oxygen, but require very very little of it to survive.
Their culture varies greatly, some are warriors of the highest magnitude with no worries other than for country, and others focus on individuality and art. Your crew talks with them, and learns of a rather new invention:
Hastily scrawled on a napkin, you now know:
Yttrium x6
Lead x18
Electromagnet Bars x6
Multi-strand Flex Cable x12
=
3R Railgun (aka Radioactive Revolver Railgun)
(A railgun that fires six times in quick succession. It requires it's own energy source, but fires radioactive charges and comes with it's own radiation shielding.)

What do you do?
You can make purchases and go back to a different planet or make a jump. The next turn will have all the updated ship info, but just add 2 to your armor value and the ability to make jumps to the original Goldfinch.
