Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[nemolomen]

I don't have the mats to synthesize more heatsinks, I need my supply incase I jump into a cluster ball of stars.

Well, I'm not out in the black, I only do that sort of stuff in the bubble, where I can get heatsinks replenished at just about any dock. Though, I really should get a few of the pre-engineered heat sinks for that ship.

I typed the word "Raxxla" into one of those AI art programs. This is it.

It's a lot more boring than I expected.

I've done Raxxla into a couple of AI image thingies and kept getting back weird Japanese Manga/Tranformer/Power Ranger images.
I keep seeing loads of Codger's Rock around too, though now someone's mentioned it, they've all hidden. Shy things.

nvm...

I thought this was a cool shot, passing by a GG on my way to one of it's moons.

I recalled the dang ship after driving 1.2 k out of this crater and it lands right back where left from, doh.....

I didn't know that either! Is it true?!

If there is no cargo in it, it does not overheat. I've never noticed this in any other ship.
With cargo internal modules take a little damage every jump from the heat.
On the plus side it's cheap and has made back it's purchase price already trading between different markets and I'm half way to a 50.market network already. I won't have to fly it for long and I can shift the Engineered FSD V1 into a Python soon.

When I first started flying the Type 7 with no cargo I wondered what The Pilot was doing wrong in his video. Forward to time index 3:09

This is what I get when loaded with cargo.

So far, I have found the Pilot's ship reviews to be quite accurate.

I've found a faction worth standing up for. I mean, who wouldn't?

I used to work for the Perez Ring Brewery in the early days - this makes me want to do a nostalgia trip back home …is it 5 o’clock yet? Oh, it’s a Saturday… :]

ED is a global game, it is always 5 o’clock somewhere the game is running.

That probably should be too good to be true - it could get dangerous even

Hunger & thirst can drive one to... do bad things, all in the name of upgrading? ;]

...so next one was an early morning appointment - was a bit chilly up on the roof...

though i found an interesting "artefact" on the way home... :]

*had a little run-in with a beastie along the way too... ;]

My god man, you have entirely too much time on your hands.

I ONLY GOT 229 GAMES ON STEAM 15 on ea and 2 on others.

finished the GC completely confused at who the hell i was fighting..... was it empire or feds or Independents come out of it with at least 62 million in murdering bonds and 6 million in cg bonds

Nice. :]

Totally. Either those two factions switched names, or there has been some parliamentary floor-crossing going on in that system...^

Nice battle!...very well executed...

I think, in that situation, I would have opted for using my Dom/Exec/L6/P-15 load-out, same as what I use in conflict zones...

OMG, that is so funny, we need one in our neiborhood.

Well, shallow it may be, but all I've ever wanted was to be left alone and play video games, ever since the first one I played (that wasn't Pong)

Retirement allows me to actually do that, pretty much. I spend a lot of time with the dogs, too. And I do some music. But video games are just really fun to me.

My favorites of all time?

In no particular order:

Elite Dangerous
Skyrim
Dishonored (all 3 of them)
Cyberpunk
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Fallout 4
Dragon Age Origins
Sniper Elite 5
Rimworld
Dyson Sphere Program
XCOM 2
X4 Foundations
Far Cry 6
Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain
World of Warcraft

I've enjoyed tons of other games as well, but I think those are my favorites, the ones that I replayed a lot and still play.

I probably forgot some

It's all good, if anything I'm jealous. I own ED, No man's sky, MechWarrior 5, Everspace 1&2, Halo: Master chief collection, Titanfall 2, Mass Effect Andromeda and X4 Foundations also. I'm stuck on ED now and loving it. I also have Epic with Horizon Zero Dawn and The Outer Worlds, I really liked Zero Dawn a lot, I wish Sony would hurry up and port the just released (PS5) Horizon Forbidden West to PC.
