ah cool i hadn't seen that.

i voted for you to do some LARP in city centre until you get arrested. Its a shame you can't tick multiple box's as you could combine this effectively with drinking all day and could take your wife with you to get arrested together. :D a nice day out for both of you. plus you get a free cup of tea in the cells.

lightening bolt!
 
Take your wife out Bran. Earn some brownie points (I'm sure you need some :))

After all the running around she did while I was injured you are right. I have LOT of making up to do but damn she looked good in the nurses uniform - might of delayed my recovery a bit but best not to let her know this! :D

With the wife on nights, it was going to be Elite all day. I'm about 5k into a 21K passenger trip.

But.

The shiny new Skyrim has just finished preloading, so I'll be revisiting the ice wastes for a hour or two (give or take) instead :)

I'm changing my vote back to playing Elite all weekend. :)

I'd forgotten how lousy the default Skyrim UI is :( Awaiting SKSE (being worked on) and SkyUI (hope someone picks this up) to be release before I lose countless more hours in the frozen North.
 
Greetings CMDR’s

No, it’s not Friday and no I have not gone mad, not completely anyway. The reason for the thread starting a day early is all down to me having a couple of days off work – got to sneak them in when you can.

This is also the inspiration behind this weeks poll. I figured rather than just do my own thing I’d put it to the vote – after all we know that poll’s on this forum are 100% accurate and never tampered with.

You can only choose one option so don’t rush into anything – plus of course new options could appear at anytime depending on which mods are on duty!

Now down to the important questions:


  • Pirates – Do you think the aliens, when they arrive, will be open to piracy?
  • Traders – Alien goods, would you be prepared to carry alien cargo between their home and the bubble?
  • Bounty hunters – Who’s been you biggest prize so far, how much did you make in one hunt?
  • PvPer’s – Has 2.2 changed anything so far for you or is the heat meta still the flavour of the month?
  • Tinfoil hat wearers – Now that some ruins have been found where do you plan to look next and what crazy experiments have you got planned?
  • Explorers – How are you finding the new scanning systems and maps, is this an improvement for your game-play?

If I’ve missed out your profession than why not tell us all what it is you do and maybe I’ll include you next week. For now though there’s no point in my saying what I’ll be doing because that’s up to you in the poll so all that’s left to say is…

Keep it clean, have fun and fly safe CMDR’s o7

Gave me an interesting thought. Pirating aliens.

What if the aliens are freindly? everyone is expecting hostile Thargoids.

And what if, on their mission of peace and harmony. They run into the sdc crew on their way to the latest cg!

Then they probably won't be friendly for long!

If the SDC meet the aliens first we'll never hear about it as they can only fight real people in Sidewinders! :D
On topic: As always in Elite the results of the poll are final so I'm spending the day with the wife playing games (DDO) and then out for a meal later. Hope you all ave a great weekend and Fly Safe CMDR's!

I'm going into the Hospital on Sunday, to have a baby. Hopefully I'll be meeting my daughter for the first time!!

Frustrating Bran, you should go get arrested while LARPing as Princess Leia.

I still luckily have 20 days holiday left to use before April next year... The reason for this is I have another baby due on the 6th December, so not one of those days will be gloating on the forums, not one of those days will be playing Elite :(

Haha what a coincidence, too many babies coming on this forum, the average age of Elite players is firmly in the "Dad" range...

Congratulations to both of you (and your partners). All the best wishes, and yes, no horror stories until it is all over :)
 
As a Pirate / Explorer I feel I am uniquely placed to answer the first question.

Yes, I do believe they can be Pirated. In fact at this moment I am deep in the Wayfairers Graveyard heading to the Rift with an Interdictor and limpets on board. Sometimes you have to be prepared to take the big risks for the big rewards! Just because they look mean and tentacaly doesn't mean they won't understand a good old fashioned "YAAAARRRR!" I'll just have to say it slowly and point. Works everywhere else...

Also I have to say I am liking the system map planet view. Recently found a very gnarly ice world close to a gas giant. I spent ages scrolling around so I could pick the best spot for an SRV safari. Oh and on another planet I finally found my first Yttrium which was like a 2.2 bonus ball!
 
Tin foil hat wearer - mind your own business, Brian!!! Everyone knows you work for the CIA and put out these polls to gather Intel on us all as the CIA is a front for an alien organisation who are trying to prevent mankind from achieving inter galactic travel!!! We know it was you who recently sabotaged Space X!!!
