Cheers guys, yes the puter is back in the land of the living and the epic fail of the PSU left everything else intact, thank gawd. Phew.

My teeth don't itch anymore and, to celebrate the occasion, I 've fitted my Phantom with a 6A scoop.

Now then. How do I fly a spaceship again? Perhaps you're right aRJay - back to tutorials! :D

But not for too long, you need to do your share of the 250,000,000 light years for the F25 Cobra skin by the 31st.

After 76 hours of play so far now im trying out my brand new toy:

Krait Panthom

Yup already on it, and now comes the grind to make it the ultimate exploration ship wich is the kinda stuff i like doing in this game.

Traded my DBX with 40Ly jump for a 20Ly, but totally happy with it, in time will get that value higher and i dont mind the extra jumps just to have the looks, feel, and handling that i was hoping for and alot sooner than i tought i could get it.

Well done, that Phantom is a great explorer!

Indeed. Once the FSD is fully engineered and experimentalled - and D rated modules judiciously applied and stripped down - there's no reason why a Phantom can't go > 50yls. Mine is maxing 57lys without a Guardian booster.

Wow, that's my PS4 account. I'm not part of the DW2 expedition, but went out to offer protection/assistance to any Commanders after reading some of the forum threads. Stayed at Omega for a while, didn't see anyone, very quiet on PS4.
Before heading back I went straight down, got a few interesting systems.
Finally got to grips with the FSS.[up]

I'm in the PG too, and there are about twice as many people in open on any given day, on PS4.
Maybe it's your timing but I've seen people out and about every time I've logged in.

Currently at 35Ly jump range, but havent dwell on the engeniers part of the game so far, will give it a go after im satisfied with the amount of cash i got to play with.
Been busy, exploring alot of systems, still not uncharted ones, just the ones i personally havent gone and can give me credits, and credits ive been making, alot, to research a little about game economics, charts and other stuff is paying off well, just missing a few upgrades to say im in the spot i wanna be on...

This Krait Phantom is a awesome ship, not only looks good, as it performes admirably, good speed, good maneuvrability, enjoyable experience to play in it.
I love it, not only can it explore well, as its not a brick using, that level 6 scoop is so good... Still dont have the top A frame shift on it, didnt found one on sale yet, definatly will putt on if i find one, all others on the minimum of the minimums, D rated all the way, except for power.

This is a keeper and i will be using it for a long time for sure, despite i see the videos and read everywhere that the anaconda is the to go ship as deep exploration goes, but i dont fancy "bricks", but we will see when the time comes.

ATM in work so not playing, but in the morning did some exploring around and netted a cool 5 million in about 1 hour of play...

The steam pumps, diodes, valves and clockwork are all under-floor installations. I have to wind up the generator but only after I've put a few thru'pny bits in the slot.

Nicely done! Having used the Phantom, Krait MKII, DBX, Asp X, and Anaconda for deep exploration, I love the Phantom and Asp X best for this. Anaconda I MAY use if I set out for Beagle Point, but really, I believe the Phantom can make that trip just fine. It's so much more manageable of a ship to drive.

Got the DS4 connected. Just need to get all the controls mapped. Five minute job, surely.:eek:

Mapping....yaaaaarrrrrrrggggggh. Tedious. Saving mapping from my Steam version of ED is kind of a pain as well.

That's a Corsair Obsidian 900D for you! :D Overkill in the extreme. Some would say "compensating?"

It took me 30 minutes to get it up a single flight of stairs and 6 months in rehab for the hernia. The latter is a lie but the former the absolute truth. Took another 15 minutes just to unbox it - was a prebuilt system.

This is why I was dreading a return to base for the fix.

As to what I'm up tp - trying to keep in the spirit of things - I haven't had time to putter around the bubble much, but I just did a thorium source and return for a cool 8.5m. And my Viper III has just had its maiden voyage to how she corners. For some reason, I named her "Sulaco".

Edit: I want a "Nostromo" at some point too but I'm having difficulty wondering which ship would best suit the name...

T10? T9?
