I know how to make a picture. But how do you managed to get the whole ship on screen ?
I mean, I am only able to see a piece of ship around selected hardpoint.

Go to the "Livery" tab first, that puts your ship on screen - then flick back to "Internal" if you want to show your gear.
Moving to "Hardpoints" will reset the view to the hardpoint in question.

Careful, they are quite old.
I (well CMDR Redwine really) decided two weeks ago that I had too much cash and it was time to buy a second Asp for mining, (lol I had 50 mill and spent at least half on this "great idea"), having never mined before I thought it was best to play it safe and go with his Asp idea, I was going for my type 6 but he talked me out of it. I only have another Asp I did not want to strip, a type 6 & a vulture.
Having skim read the mining for dummies post I felt highly qualified (by equipment, not knowledge lol) and off I went, I didn't make much but it was fun (I have been saving mining since Beta, been so busy having fun with other stuff I never got around to it), but I will reread the mining for dummies info and spend some time on it (without CMDR Redwine) to see how I like it.
After that I will downgrade her for exploring, once I feel a bit safer far out, and have done a few trips and gained some experience (which might be early next year if I get to like mining) I think I will join the "Fuel Rats" when I know a bit more about long range travel too.
Cool, it let me rep you again. I am going to add you to friends list in game (bear with me never it done before, but you will get an invite soon). Depending where you are you will earn some rares when I am in open, meet me at the right place (hell I might even give you the time & place) and you will do OK.
I never left Open due to pirates or PK's (had not met any when I left open), but this is what made me want to try open again https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=96666.
That said a couple of PK's would likely make me spend less time in open, but I will cross that bridge if / when I find it.
To the people discussing the AI "wanted" spawn rates (sorry I did look for the posts) I agree if there are more CMDR's in an instance in open their should be more AI, if FD could scale up the AI for a wing or two so it was equivalent to what it would be in solo I can't see a problem, unless it could be abused / misused in some way.
Let them have double the AI we do in solo or a single instance in open (or group), <winks at SJA>

I did try a T9 with 3 miner 2 beams on it - while it is amusing to rip apart asteroids in seconds, trying to move around tightly packed chunks of rock can be a pain.
That is why I went with the T7. Not as funny with only 2 miner 1 fitted. But it can move around much better. And to be fair, 160T hold is still more than enough to sit out there for a couple of hours.
Though, if you've the time - the T9 is worth a try for giggles

ETA
Nah not 10k tonight, unless a few of our friends in the USA get riled and then it flows around the planet faster than the jet stream (not the aircraft) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream.
We could always post it on "didn't read it", "fake friend book" and "" if we wanted to ensure a result tonight, although if they had to post rather than vote it might be a bit harder
I gotta play for an hour, <gulps> maybe see you in the next thread <waves>.
I really hope people put more effort into part 3 though, we are going for the trilogy here (we are making history), the first one started OK, then rapidly went downhill, part 2 was a flop, dull as hell, just pure repetition. Surely some great hive mind can come up with a new and interesting point of view to really get every one thinking for part 3?
OK I won't hold my breath
(although I am thinking of taking bets)

Hey you dont have to get snippy with me mister, im still here remember? Im just alone and confused... though i understand my mates for leaving. I just want some explaination of WHY this was implemented? Because its pretty silly and downright unfitting for this game! Im on a "beer route" for fun... but getting interdicted by NPC's equaly much no matter where i am, feels bad. In the sense that i never feel isolated, the space i am traveling through feels exactly the same!!! Every speck of space is inhabbited by pirates. Right. I find myself more and more sitting in stations, reading and listening to music after my last friend left.
The urge to travel forth is dying, now without friends...i wonder if i should just pack it. Im not actually enjoying the game anymore.
But i have enjoyed it for a large amount of hours... but in all those hours i always felt there was something missing with every implementation the game offered. "Every other note on this piano is false but its a really nice looking piano."
I dont know... i just feel CON-sold... if you know what i mean! Hahaha.
when you leave can i have your stuff?
And now, time for something completely different....

<chortles> The only thing I own is the fuel scoop, so the buy-back is something like 164 Cr.
Mind you, Ironmouse has not been killed... yet! That Cobra Mk III is PDQ... gotta love it!
That's a little cheeky
.You should really wait for the "I quit" thread and then thank them for their donation to ED and wish them well with their next game.
Unless OFC they post reasons why the game is not for them etc (eg constructive criticism), rather than rage quit "ED SUCKS". If they do I try to remind them they do not have to spend another penny on the game, its still being developed and to look again in a few months, they may well be surprised.
I am not commenting on the post you are replying to, just adding my opinion

They need paint kits for the Diamond Backs ^,^.
And the ability to spruce up the cockpits
Yes, I want bobble heads back !!!
And a coffee mug (well, ED themed tea cup would be better, I am British after all

After that post you have no right to ask for anything, I know its evil but I might report your post so FD ensure you can't buy tea in ED ever again!
.Oh yeah I agree with bobble heads, I won't try to get your tea nerfed, it was close though!
Man!, gimbaled eyeball cannon straws, what were you thinking of (and I wore contact lenses for 20 years!).

Coffee or Tea both good to me. Spent 3 years in your Country and Loved it.
I just wish the open only crowd could see that even though some of us don't play in open, it doesn't mean we are not part of the community. And we all want ED to be a great game

IIRC I had to sell my A rated sidey, eagle & cobra to afford my type 6 & insurance, oh they were fun days
Now you made me want to buy a Sidey, Cobra and an Adder if you can run them that cheap lol, sorry just one minute ....... "what, no, not again!, goodbye!", sorry CMDR Redwine wants to A rate all of them lol.
Mmmm, drop the type 6 for open rare trading and get a super fast Cobra, that would suffice on hold space for my little route, could be even more fun, I will take a look at that
.
PEWPEWPEWMEOW!

Also, just took a pic for you
(Yes, I'm skint after buying it
Thanks muchly! I got turned off to the T-series at a T-6, which I got going from a Hauler & hated it. Also why I haven't gotten a T-9; I saved up for an Anaconda instead. I might be a good enough pilot now to handle the T-7.
