It is the Duke. If you check the newsreel on the bottom of the footage, you'll find his name in there.
Almost broke my finger on the oul’ like button there, Helmut.
Thinking about it, I might want to revise this statement. I never felt like I was grinding, because I had fun doing what I did. Another person might consider running... I don't know how many, maybe a few hundred? of missions as "grind". But I genuinely had fun and just enjoyed progressing and, by the end, "steamrolling" over settlements
.As life tends to repeat itself, there is a certain amount of acceptance, as long as it is a similar mission, but not 100% the same.Thinking about it, I might want to revise this statement.

I get what you mean. I try to spread my activities over multiple settlements instead of "farming" one settlement over and over. That way it isn't exactly the same every time. Although there are limited variants of the layouts and I have been to all of them by now, I still have to familiarize myself with the settlement when I arrive. I have to see how the personnel is distributed, spot out their patterns, in case of covert or non-violent missions plan my way to my target. And then there is still the element of surprise when something goes wrong and I have to go loud, or in case of poweron missions, waves of scavengers arrive or are already there when I arrive and I have to improvise. Or at the very least I have to decide how I want to proceed - stealth or go loud, go guns blazing or pick them off one by one from the roof tops. There is enough variety that it keeps me entertained for hours.
.It's a strange thing to me. I hate grind. Seriously. But I did find the grind for on-foot stuff weirdly rewarding. That's not to say the whole thing doesn't need an overhaul - it does - but it could also do with a (almost) a redo from scratch.Thinking about it, I might want to revise this statement.

As of now, I have all small size ships (except the Cobra MK IV, for obvious reasons) and eight of the medium sized ones...I only have three ships, Anaconda, Krait Mk II, and my Vulture I went to Colonia in (max jump range 12 Ly). So there, take that.
I considered getting the Prismatic Shield, but everything I read about it said it wasn't worth it - that even though they're tough, you basically have to dock to recharge them because even with engineering it can take upwards of 5 to 10 minutes for them to recharge to 100%.
Never had myself tbh, but a squadmate had them on his Cutter… they just never broke, even over an entire evening of PVE pirate massacres ;]
I also remember playing a bit of that - in fact it was the first time i played a multiplayer game on a “LAN”, when a friend of mine hooked up two of those old candy-colour bubble iMacs with a crossover cable… i think we played with those “hockey puck” mice even
I loved that too! In fact I still have it but couldn't get it to run on my current PC. I may have to look into it again now it's been mentioned
I miss Orb...
