Experimenting with livestreaming. Come watch and we'll see if it works.

You're going to get me killed. Was watching your feed full screen in one monitor and messing around in a CZ in the other. Kept glancing over and not paying attention to what I was doing.
Fun to watch, thanks for setting up the feed.
Two thirds of the way there!
I lucked out and the sun went down while I was out of the game, so I logged back in to find it fully dark. Dim + magic nightvision is way easier to handle than the long shadows of sunrise/sunset, so that helps a lot.
What's really unnerving is how sometimes you land and bounce just right, but still manage to take 45% damage.
One of my favorite things is when conditions line up just right to soar right over the top of a mountain:

I must admit, anyone trying to stop this valiant commander now would have to be a serious (Sirius?) a-hole. That said there is no shortage of such in E: D, so it's good that IW are on hand to provide air cover.
Right On, Commander! Flive Safe.
Never I could have imagined that cmdr Tannik's Aquarian Job would became a full time one.
Self reminder for next race: when srv driving and ship recalling are involved, *always* include a 1% hull bonus rule. Mistakes may be made, legends may arise.
Just host a 3000 mile endurance challenge. You will get entries.
You know, I guess you are right. There has been a standing challenge for a race to A* for a long time after all...never say never...
Awesome and double repped OP
Loved the "challenge Accepted" LOL - And it looks like it will be a challenge and fun so good luck!
You could even have series of such races on successively higher g planets.
Still not 100% sure I'll use it... the "instance damage multiplier" bug for SRVs means that having friendly CMDRs around may be a bigger threat than murder-hobos.
My best bet may be simply quietly crossing the finish line without fanfare or announcing it ahead of time.

Note: you may need to widen the TIME column of your scoreboard ... I suspect you may not have anticipted a run taking many days!
Now that's a guy who like who deserve the "To boldly go where no man have gone before!"... This is a rare thing on these forums nowdays... best luck on your last leg of the journey

After he gets the hi--score he can enter his initials (SCW).
Had now the time to catch up with the last Videos, its suprising how much fun it can be just watching someone gong from A to B
Also thanks to Alec for choosing music I can enjoy, too often I click a ED video and are confronted with Music that annoys me
