Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Yep me too, on both sides - so i'm not sure what i managed to accomplish in terms of "power struggle", but i did walk away allied to both of the conflict factions :D

...were there any prizes besides the cash?
Lucky you.

While I did retain my top 10% for the Imps, I only got top 50% (slipped down from top 25%) for the Feds since I couldn't play last night due to the &^*#^$ Steam launcher bug. All in all I had about 150 to 175 Mil in bonds.

Ah well, I'm off to find the Thargoid surface site in Merope...whenever I get to play again...I'm currently in the beginning of designing/building the front and rear decks for our house...

What am I up to? I’m about to get my space legs!
Welcome aboard! Enjoy! And don't let the bugs (as in the game, not the Thargoids) bring you down...

Have a happy few hours' binding time! :D
When my, new to me, X-52 Pro arrived and I plugged it in, almost all of the in-ship binds were there. I've only had to add a few since then.

Of course on-foot binds are an entirely different story...especially left-handed mousing...
 
Lucky you.

I’ve had those Steam/ED login problems a few times over the years, typically when installing on a new machine or HD / SSD, or after game updates - fortunately not recently though…

Don’t think you missed much last night, didn’t seem to be many players around and curiously the CZ payouts seemed to drop significantly - got just 3m after another win at the High CZ…

…and then there was this party of ships at the station entrance when i tried to go into the High CZ in open - which led to my dropship waiting in “queue” until it got a station “exit now!” warning …so i relogged into solo and played last round from there.

Lots of stuck ships in that station's mail-slot over the last week. I mostly just squeezed past them in my Krait...sometimes while exceeding the speed limit... :eek:
 
Found me a new Clypeus, worth 16.2 million credits on a Co2 moon with 8 biosigns.

More to come, I saw in Elite Observatory a stratum that is worth 12 million, didn't recognize the name.
 
It averages to about 21 per year, for 16 years. But I didn't buy them so much at the beginning, when I was, you know, working. :p
I've only been on steam for 12 years this coming September and I have 40 games, giving an average of 3 1/3 games/year, mostly in spurts...and most of them I've never played...

The attached image shows my last played dates for the last 23 games I've played...

I've found three games in your list that I also have - though only one of them on steam...
I got the other two long before I got steam...

Wow. I can post again... Apparently, all it needed was a little "CTRL+F5" action... 🤧😵‍💫 😵

The only non-Steam games I've played in recent memory are:

Wasteland 2 - 2015 to 2017 give or take
Neverwinter NIghts 2 - 2010 to 2011
Neverwinter Nights - 2008 to 2010

A player destroying another for no reason other than to see an explosion is not realistic.
Exactly.

I was running passenger rescues out of a Thargoid invaded system and got ganked right outside the rescue ship I was to drop them off at.

Think about that. You have nothing better to do but sit outside a rescue ship in an FDL and gank an unarmed rescue ship trying to help out in the Thargoid war. Yes, that happened to me. That is why Open is a complete waste of game mode and always will be and why nobody really bothers playing it anymore.

I just recently installed Neverwinter Nights EE with a steam key from some gamestore site, thanks to a freebie deal from my gaming magazine. Had played the original before*, but the CD is lost in the abyss of moving boxes. And I guess the key has found Raxxla...

*:The first ever RPG I played completely through.
 
Exactly.

That’s hectic :confused:

Some people just seem hell-bent on messing with other players on-line - i always suspect they were the bullies who stole others’ lunch money at school - and they still haven’t grown up… it’s a great pity that Elite’s Open Play mode seems to be the kind of “playground” that these creeps enjoy abusing.


…that said, after a few rounds of the somewhat limited selection of CZ’s in the recent CG, i took a deeeep breath and ventured in in Open for my first time evah - the results were quite fun actually, as i got chased around the settlement by two Dominators… who couldn’t quite keep up with me 😄
