I think I have had one person shooting at my ship at Dav’s years ago before they moved it he chased me off towards the central peak of the crater where I jumped out.
Sounds reminiscent of the Tusken Raiders shooting at the pod racers in Star Wars.
Oh no...Bernard Hill has diedAll hail, Théoden, King!
It's a nicer place to get ganked anyway. Comes up time to time. The gankers are simply "a cut above", knowing they are less volume and far less newbies per million CMDRs (a ganker metric, the NBM concentration).
Hey, take some pride in your ride and paint that thing.Calculator
No um
Canker sore!
I'm probably still a pretty easy mark if I get dropped but I would sure enjoy passive aggressively evading them during a race. On the other hand, you know I used to play Red Dead Online and you go on the horse race events half the freakin people are just tryin to kill you. Dorks
I'm down the road back to Colonia but while I was in the bubble recently the player activity was weird. Several systems and especially at Shinrarta Dezra there was notable amounts of CMDRs in supercruise and at the founder's world. It was sort of insightful watching them manouvre in the hyperspace. One time there were three squares and two triangles. They're being so stupid but it's also beautiful MMO aspect
I took the high road and circled back to Founder's World where people came and went, frequently a half dozen live, while I sat there and built up a ship. On ingress and on egress, were multiple contacts but no undocked ships seen
I digress. Hey you could also switch to Colonia life instead of solo mode. Catch me if you can racer!
This one's for you, Star Wars Fans. Well I try to keep the 21st century out of things (though, daydreaming about naming my future Python2 after Willy Nelson). I defy any and all CMDRs to have a history of such good star wars joke ship names OR receive more bananas on re-enactment critic sites than the following.
- RUPEE NOON original dolphin upgrade from sidewinder: THE MILLENIUM DOLPHIN
- PENNY NOON SAUD KRUGER VARIETY PACK:
-- Dolphin: DOLPH HELMET (formerly DOLPH VADER until ship kit tied in with spaceballs).
-- Orca: TIE Liner
And the all-new work in progress, just assembled and shipping separately following Penny to Colonia even as we speak.. Drum roll...
-- Beluga: Starfish Destroyer
That's why i usually go in solo when flying an unarmed exploration ship.Can't remember the last time I had the rebuy screen twice in one day...
First was my second regulation run in the current Buckyball race. I saw the ganker as soon as I dropped out of glide at Dav's Hope and knew that was it. Moments later, it was raining Cobra parts. If they get their kicks from shooting down unarmed ships, so be it. There's a word that rhymes with 'ganker'....
Second was my own fault for being complacent. Sally had landed to do a restore mission after disposing of scavs and had just started up the power plant when a second lot of scavs dropped in right on top of her ship. Turns out a Dolphin doesn't last very long against point-blank small arms fire, and neither does a G3 Maverick.
Clouds and silver linings, though - the subsequent Buckyball run (done in Solo, oddly enough) was actually better. And Sally picked up a 'grab item X from such-and-such a place' which was the very place she had just been blown up at. Arrived, found it still heaving with scavs, and a reborn Kittenfish furiously poured down fiery explosive death on the wretches. I wouldn't like to be the one who has to clean that settlement up, chunks of charred meat everywhere! And to soften the day's losses (Sally's first ever rebuy), it was positively raining Manufacturing Instructions; acquired ten in one session! Not to mention loads of tungsten carbide.
Do love the fact that even after ten plus years of playing it, ED can still chuck a curveball at you
Interesting. Didn't notice that. But then again, if your mind is preoccupied, you miss a lot of stuff...Quick tip, when you enter a system and your HUD is blank for 5 seconds before the main star shows up, it's unexplored. Conversely, if you see stars and planets rushing towards you on the HUD, it's been explored. If you reversed direction and inadvertently went back to a system you just explored and haven't handed the data in yet, it will show everything on the HUD and system map but without an explorer's name.
Congratulations on your first discoveries.
I guess I'll see when I'm back - or find a carrier out here that provides access to those services.

That sounds like it still has all the E-rated stuff...
Fortunately for me, the carrier OCD Gnosis was at 7LY from my prison, so I could buy a scoop, and wait for the transfer of my dear AspX. That's 37 min to wait, so enough time to have a drink at the bar and listen to that album, thinking about that sentence I've heard from an ex military plane pilot: "Are you ready to live with the consequences of your lack of preparation?"
