Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Oooo - Deciat. Now I haven't been here in a while.
Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

Right, that's it. I like PP 2.0 but all this "might work might not" type stuff is driving me batty.

But I'm also many parsecs away from useful engineers... so I think I might just get the AspX out of mothball and see if one of my other SCO drives fits, and see what I can find with mere 3309-like jump ranges. The galaxy is still there, unless I am very much mistaken, and I didn't have the engineered DSS last time I went into the black.
 
Just did a mission that would reward me with 8 SDP's. 8! Gawd I remember the day when these were like gold dust.

Thing is, I couldn't accept he commodity reward as I have 1000/1000 data.

Hilarity ensued.

We really need more inventory space.

My mats storage is looking fairly spacious, but that's because (against my better judgement ofc^) I finally got an Alt for Xmas, for the first time in what is now 7 years of playing (yep, everything before has been on one account, game save even)

...so i've been beginning the journey again, doing a few OD missions in an un-upgraded sidewinder, acquiring a DBX as a "first ship" beyond the former and, with the help of a friend with a fleet carrier (who has apparently decided to stay behind in the bubble, just in case there's some on-foot fun to be had this weekend), am doing a bit of exobiology to build up some cash for rebuys & upgrades...

Found these today not too far from the FC - it's kinda nice to think i discovered these within the first 20 hours of the game :geek:

Question to you, folks:

If I pledge to a power in PP can I un-pledge if I want? And if I can, will any hostility I've garnered remain?


EDIT - actually, I'm going to hang this is the proper forum :)
But yes you can simply 'defect' (as the game calls it, according to my Inara account). You just leave and join another. The former faction don't even hunt you down, any more. Hostility will remain, though, needing the usual time to expire.
 
Greetings, commanders!

Tis I, Rustnsawdust, returning to the game for the first time in a couple... um, four years!! No idea why I left; no idea why I'm back. Both seemed like good ideas at the time.

Good to see my favourite thread still running, and good to see some familiar names like Tyres and Codger still around.(y)

Upgraded to Odyssey yesterday and have spent the intervening time realising how much I've forgotten, and how much new stuff there is to learn. When I left I was halfway round a lunar circumnavigation on a rock some 100ly from Colonia; took me about two hours to figure out how to drive the buggy, summon the ship, and get into space (managed to faceplant the ship on the rock in the process).

I briefly considered restarting but the thought of my fleet, and the cr1.5bn in the bank, persuaded me otherwise.

If I can manage to get to Colonia and dock without dying, I'll see you soon.
