Help, I need Ship Rats!

*Tumbles out of his pod all confused* Wher.. what?!
I've been hibernating in Alice a few systems away from Wilson for the last couple of days. So much new content I've gone through the last hour or so. I love you all for all this great content!

I remember somebody was talking about putting a tourist brochure together a few pages back. Who was that? And, does anybody have all the coordinates for the named locations like jumps, hills, camps and such? It'd be great with a full list of coordinates.
I want to go back to Wilson some time soon and try to take some proper hi-res photos of all the locations with my graphics maxed out to help out with the tourist brochure :)

I don't remember who was making the brochure, there soo many pages now. Also I'm crap at taking note of coordinates - I like to fly on visual. There is alot of good info on the front page though.
Also I can take you through some of the locations I know by heart. The rest, like the Jumps on the way to the Danish pimple you probably have to ask Count or Craith for or look through Bombas Daily images.
Edit: lol just remembered, you have that hole trip on your Twitch stream.

Flankhard - is that "unnamed ledge" the one Tarrakis took a leap from? I wasn't there when he did it so I dunno... but if it is... well, there you have it .... "Tarrakis' Leap" :D

Nope, I leapt from the Plateau of Hope in a bid to reach another outcrop further along the valley....and well, we all know how that went down...and down....BOOM! :D
 
I'll just grab a giant barrel of coffee at some point and flip through all the pages, look at images and watch videos. Also gonna try and scan through my own saved streams and see what I can find.
My brain is being all silly and want to make a small tourist info webpage with all kinds of fancy graphics. The bad thing is, I haven't coded or worked with graphics for years. I'd better polish up on the stuff before I decide to dive into a project like this.

I think your brain is in perfect condition, coming up with ideas like that, couldn't be better! :D. As to the polishing: I'd just start with the tourist info webpage. After two steps you'll know what to polish. Otherwise you'll end up polishing the wrong skills (and that is a brain being all silly ;)).

go ahead, just don't tell anybody about it :)

I'd have a go at it myself, but I have to many projects on my plate right now to do it justice.

I am glad to hear of your rescue. What is the deal with some people calling the fuel rats only to kill them? Talk about low...

I'm sorry to hear that, that's 'emergent gameplay' and make the game 'better for everyone'.

Nah, just some kids griefing ...

Greetings, fellow Thunderbird Rescue Team!

After reading in the Beta-Forums that some extreme planetary features have been removed and that there is a new PG-algorithm at work, I had to fly out and see if our beloved planet is still the way it is.

Well, the bad news is, I can't access the system map in the system, I get stuck on loading - a bug that I will report after writing this post.

But, the most important thing: Wilson is still Wilson - there has been some tectonic activity, some quakes, some features were a little bit different, but you could still find your way around. A passing comet must have hit the planet though, since the colour changed a bit. But the important features are still there.

A few pictures, sorry about the quality - VR is a bit taxing on my system

I'm still there - so after patching I'm good for another rescue ;)

Need to prepare for tomorrow though, Cerberus Plaque Remembrance Day in Bast.
