You V The Weekend: A challenge, an old post and Stuff

Welcome CMDR's,

I'm a bit pushed for time today so here's an old post for to read and of course tell us what you plan to do this weekend in the galaxy!

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]WelcomeCMDR's,[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]We'vedone it! We've made it to the end of another week and what a weekit's been. What's the old fool on about now? I hear you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]thinking...I am talking about something that I've noticed that's even strangerthan anything that Cannon have ever dreamed up in their wildest tinfoil induced nightmares. I refer to the change in attitude that hasinvaded our otherwise doom filled threads, have you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]noticedit too? I hope so.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Iam talking about the notion of coming up with suggestions as opposedto just being a mule and standing your ground. As we know every timewe re-open an old wound about, for instance guilds, it gets nastyquite fast with two clear sides forming and proceeding to bash eachother over the heads with words of conviction and righteousness.Except this week it's been different, maybe it was the slightdifference in the way the topics were broached by the OP's but ineach, after just a few short pages there has been a call forsolutions and to my amazement, it happened![/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Gooddebates started to happen, CMDR's discussed ideas, possible game playfeatures started to take shape and we actually moved forwards a bit!We should all pat ourselves on the back for this, long may itcontinue and hopefully the devs will notice the different tone andtake note. We can live in hope. [/FONT];)

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Bran,where's the poll this week? Good question, I've given the poll a weekoff as it needs some counselling after being interfered with byvarious nefarious characters[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Itwill return in the future with bigger, better, new and improvedtopics of hilarity to vote on.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Otherthan that it's been a week filled with talk of missions and payments,how much is your time worth and the odd smattering of fun. I wonderwhat next weeks main topic of debate will end up being. Lets hope wetackle it with the same maturity we've shown.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]ForFrontier it's been a busy week with the launch of Planet Coaster nowwell and truly in full swing I'd like to say a huge well done to thewhole team for a fantastic job, I wish the game every success for thefuture and as an avid player of the game I can say it isfantastic![/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Butof course all of this is just waffle. It's time to get down to thejuicy bit... What are you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]goingto do this weekend to ensure your place in the soon to be ThargonianHive we currently call the bubble?[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Traders- When the aliens arrive will you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]loadup on explosives and get all Kamikaze on the aliens?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Pirates- Do you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]thinkthe aliens will be OK with you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]robbingthem?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Bountyhunters - Should alien bounties be a thing and worth more or lessthan human ones?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Miners- What new materials do you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]thinkour soon to be alien overlords will want you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]tomine?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Explorer's- If the bubble gets taken by aliens who have already mapped theentire galaxy what will you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]do?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]PvPer's- Do you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]thinkthe aliens will be up to the task of facing you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]in1v1 combat?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Everyoneelse - Run, hide or work with them?[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Aswell as telling us how you'll cope don't forget to tell useverything you[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]planto do this weekend, warts and all please. If your not going to beplaying Elite then I expect a good excuse, try to make it believableplease! [/FONT];)

Weekend Challenge: Figure out how old the above is and try to remember what you were doing at this time!

Right, you know the drill, spill the beans or 'stuff'.


I'm going to be getting a bit closer to Sag A... possibly.


Training update: Everything hurts!

At this moment cannot log into game at all...no idea why game says I need to check my connection which, funnily enough, is absolutely fine otherwise I wouldnt be sitting here typing this.

When I do get in...or if...then its back to grinding out credits and casino mats. Nowt special and nowt exciting, just same old same old until I get what I need and head back to colonia ^
 
Ranking up with Nemo (finally), so I can upgrade my frag cannons.

Admiring my new Sol system bobbleheads

Putting up my new tent in the garden so I don't look stupid trying to work it out in public.

Resting upon my laurels after killing this evildoer today, quite possibly a relation of another evildoer CMDR :

While I'm waiting on a new controller to come in, I've been switching between my HOTAS and KB+M to fly. I'll likely be reconfiguring for KB+M again and doing some practice in a nearby RES.
 
The Oculus Rift has arrived. Software downlding as we speak. I'll have to leave setup for tomorrow as I'm heading out for beers and curry this evening.

I have promised myself that I will do the cleaning etc. and accountancy admin before I start playing with my new toy. Otherwise, I fear it may not get done. So, I'll be trying not to get too drunk this evening, so I get an early start on the chores tomorrow morning and get playing as soon as possible.

Unlocked grade5 access to the casino...as frustrating that they are, they arent overly challenging. Got most the materials from courier missions I used to build standing and rep fast and still havent fitted a single gun to a single ship.

Been ganked twice cos Im in open...or was until both happened in under an hour...the no comms type ganks. Lost the python on a planetary to lemming skimmers so thats 3 hits and counting. Grinded out 300m in just over 5 days since sunday past...just cos someone said it couldnt be done without using exploits. I technically lost because of mode switching and stacking the best missions...to not do this just makes the game utterly frustrating and inane and makes the grind that little bit more grindy.

Said Id be in the bubble fer a month and not one day more...still barely halfway through that month and Im near sorted and near ready to head back home to colonia...one is counting dow2n the days now...I hate the bubble...really really hate it ^

Checked the galaxy map out Mr Malory.

And tried to work out where the constellations were and the relative directions from Sol.

I am 4K away from finishing the first leg of my 40K ly RT loop. Plan on getting to my destination, turning around, and heading back towards civilization. Ready to turn in some serious exploration data scans.
 
This weekend I'll be fighting for the freedom and liberation of several systems from Alliance pig-dog invaders who reap and pillage peaceful cities without reason or just cause at the behest of their Alien Masters.

All true heroic Federation pilots are invited to participate in freeing your brother and sisters from Alliance/Thargoid enslavement. Will you do your part?

Interestingly, I will be defending a newly liberated system, happy under Alliance government, against attempts by the Federation to reclaim it with sustained terrorist activity!

A supermax prison, that's what the Federation calls "peaceful cities"?

I will be working towards unlocking various engineers, My main got kind of neglected as it was too much bother when the recipes included commodities and then I took him out to Colonia in a very long journey. Got a few with 'gimme' requirements that I already met so I'm making up for lost time.
 
I wish you all good luck in the weekends endeavour's CMDR's, I'm off to make my body hurt again (I blame Theo for this!) followed by a bit of exploration, at least that's the plan...

P.S. Vermin, I suggest you start calling it the Cell not the Bubble, seems more fitting with reality and the avatar! ;)
 
Unfortunately all shore leave has been cancelled as our home system has been locked down for security reasons while we conduct a thorough crime sweep of the area. It'll take as long as it takes but we'll find those responsible for attacking civillian trade in the region - our reach is far, our memories long.

(Any commanders interested in helping, we'll have wings going all afternoon/evening on xbox. PM me.)
