Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

I think something around this station messes with my SCA dethrottle...

When I last reported this dethrottle issue, I had been in this place, too, in a different ship.
Today, I almost entered the station via one of the bulkheads that is in a 90° angle to the mailslot because it took me a second to realize that my throttle was stuck open... The stations I visited before this, everything was fine. After my visit here, my throttle was broken.

This structure in the upper left, is that part of the Colonia Bridge construct? (This is the Alcor system, by the way.)

Second time today. Doesn't this game realise some of us only have short bits of play time and don't want to waste it just travelling......

I may have parked up a little close! Still, can't hurt my suntan.

Now I'm back in the bubble, I've finally got around to getting my Krait MkII ready for some Thargoid Scout wasting jollies. I've been shopping around a few systems to get various AX and other modules, according to a loadout I found on Coriolis and I've given her a name.

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

I am pondering about a name for the Vulture.

My mind came up with two suggestions I find myself unable to pick a favourite:

1: Spectral Anomaly
2: Whistling Death

What do you think?

I don’t see the link to the Corsair

What do you think?

How about Lammergeier

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

If I remember correctly, I think I called mine "Mr. Bojangles".

 

[bugbait42]

If I had a Vulture (which I currently don't) maybe it would be "Flaps." But anyway, I may well be travelling in one again before long because my carrier is parked in Deciat and look what that system has suddenly turned into in the last few hours.

The idea was spawned by the paint job I have given her.


There are certain elements in the sound that reminded me of the Corsair. These sounds aren't necessarily in the place you would find them on the Corsair, though.

Lammergeier? Uh, no. I'd rather name it Dung Beetle... (An option I forgot as I had discarded the initial thought of it looking like a scarab. I didn't want my ship to be mistaken with an SRV...)

Whoa. Almost looks like an attempt at using the SCA would be futile, due to the high risk of flying through a carrier...
But I guess I'll find out, soon, as this is my next destination on my engineering roundtrip...

Wolverine. It has two massive claws of some sort.

Love tubus but the 800m diversity distance is a pain.

The landscape was flat, they were easy to spot and plenty of them to find easily. It was a short flight between samples, so I didn't really notice the 800m separation this time.

Carrier infestation. At least there's some CZs to vent spleen in.

This is a typical busy system carrier sprawl - used to be so easy to just jump the carrier into Nuenets or Alacagui as operations base for pirate hunting …i guess this is the cost of progress sigh - said the oldtimer drinking from a hip flask at the bar ;]

Just add bacon, sausages, tomatoes fried bread, eggs, black pudding, chips, beans, hash browns, kippers and a large pot of tea.

Those look like very funky mushrooms to have with the bacon & eggs ...could have a slap-up breakfast for 300 carrier crew? ;]

I think it’s great to have plenty of good sunlight on the decks - you can get a tan outside in a hazard suit or from the bridge even :]

Just did a couple of the on-foot CZs at Deciat and managed to get my Mercenary rank to Gunslinger. Shows that in Inara as well and I clicked on the "edit your ranks" button there to set it but so far my signature hasn't updated in the forum. Guess it may take some time to go through.

Yes, it can take a while.

Thanks and I thought so. Anyway I logged out of the forum, then logged back in and it shows now.

Also i c mine is looking a bit out of synch at best… :]

Haven’t it set up yet in all this time - is it better to connect the EDO account via Steam or should i just try it with Frontier ID?

*wow, would they like a blood sample / retina scan too? ;p

**ok i‘m in - no Arc-cutter necessary :]

gotta love some of these stats… my passengers seem to enjoy their martini’s shaken, not stirred
