I'm looking to jump in and participate in the ongoing efforts... especially scouring planet surfaces. Been quite inactive for a while due to a new baby in the household... figured scouring planets in between diaper changes HAHA will be low enough impact, and is easy enough to step away from on short notice. Combat zones, Hazres, or smuggling is just not compatible with such a situation ;P
I have a lot of catching-up to do to figure out what the heck is going on though. No idea what the core focus of things is these days.
Gearing up my Python and heading out from the bubble hopefully tonight. I'm not after max jump range, but I'd like some core combat/defense capabilities while carrying some 4 SRV's for spare. Hey, if a hostile Thargoid does rear his ugly mandibles, I want to be able to deploy the gimballed RAID can and Turreted Fly Swatter.
Congrats on the baby CMDR! Everyone is pretty much focused on finding barnacles on the planets at the moment. I'm sure others are still working on UA research as well.
And yeah.. you might get maybe 5 miles in between those diaper changes.
