I was originally going to wait until August, but changed my mind because a) I hadn't bought anything from the store since October b) I probably won't be buying anything from the store again for a while and c) beer.Very nice!
I'll be waiting until August for mine, I think. I would have shelled out some cash for ARX but I take issue with the PayPal veto *
* Or is that PayPal's veto of Frontier?

Elite Observatory seems to be working now, I think my reboot may have fixed it. 
The long-standing European version of PayPal simply could not be bothered dealing with Brexit in a timely manner and instead relied on a waiver which expired December 2023. FDev are headquarted in and bank in the UK and will have covenants on that banking which prevent them from taking unregulated means of payment.
PayPal are dealing with this -up at their own speed and UK retail customers have now been moved to PayPal UK instead of PayPal Luxembourg, a mere five years after that should have happened.
So as of Jan 1 2024, PayPal ARE now regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, so I'd guess the "will return" part is FDev waiting for PayPal to relitigate all their agreements for UK companies and start putting things back together. I expect that will take a while because UK regulation is pretty strong and PayPal are not a bank, so they'll need to get their head around it.
Have to love the banking industry!
) , the P2 has now settled on its name, Crazy Dog; also a nod to my venerable Python Mk1, Black Dog - my main ship for quite a while.Erm... "Mission objective detected." Cool! Except I have no missions. And nothing is blue in the POI panel. I think Verity needs another coffee...
ETA: OK - there IS a blue POI. This is... intriguing.

I think that may be a long-standing bugette. I've seen it a fair few times.
As for me, I'm struggling to find a decent high foot CZ
It was a Trading Post (which I do not think I have seen before) who hailed me with the usual nefarious message about a mission and when I got a bit closer (< 1km) the T9 offered me an Industry Needs Wine mission.
So it looks like the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and I shall trade off of it.

But offer quite a few services you usually would consider bank business.
I like PayPal, I've been with them since 2002, don't care much for Leon Musk though, just another arrogant big mouth billionaire who thinks he's smarter than everyone else.
Pubs and restaurants both sell food and wine but have different regulations.
Then again the thread where this was all explained last year has been locked for reference and a thread complaining about same from February has just been necro'd so if anyone is genuinely interested in the difference, feel free to PM me but otherwise... I got to deliver all this plonk to an outpost 100,000 ls
out.
My reaction to those like the job offers I get while minding my own business in a Haz RES are either it's a trap or I must be doing well they are trying to get me to leave.
I've certianly noticed it this time around. Kind've annoying. Especially if they don't even show up in FSS.I think that may be a long-standing bugette. I've seen it a fair few times.

Though less of an issue if it's a combat mission since the target will often find you.
I tend to think of Peter Thiel as Paypal founder but the Musk thing rings true.
That would be cool. I'm not even certain if I've been in combat with Pythons until recent weeks but they seem to be the toughest of the medium ships so far.

Not finished yet, not by a long way, soooo much engineering and material collecting to do!
Mine's not quite so bright & colourful (at least until i have saved up a few more Arx^), but i am still quite stoked with it... :]
Whatever those guys touch turns to gold, they are very savvy. I got PayPal when I joined eBay, I've never had issue's with either, as long as you go in with the "Buyer beware" attitude.

Are those the only Arx'sesis paint schemes they offer for that ship? Just three?
They're v.nice skins, but yep only three - I'd like one of the red ones ...but also a Stygian Red for stealth mode ofc ...going to be saving Arx a long time for those^
