Reminds me of the Thread 0 USS I dropped in with my Keelback and deadly SLF pilot.Ooh, lovely. A promotion opportunity from Master to Squire. I've been waiting for this. Let's see now. Kill a pirate. Okay, I can probably do that. I mean I've built up my reputation by ferrying data from one place to another; but okay. I'm sure a little combat isn't completely beyond me.

Oh, okay. A Competent Fer-De-Lance. Hmm. Not exactly the shieldless Hauler I was hoping for, but I might give it a...

Cool cool cool. Yup. Good scaling there, FD. Spot on job.![]()
Nice, you found a challenge in this game besides Thargoids!Ooh, lovely. A promotion opportunity from Master to Squire. I've been waiting for this. Let's see now. Kill a pirate.

I dare say that open isn't going to make you happier, however I think you already know that.It just *s me right off. And yeah, I know there's going to be the Hardcore Git Gud™ crowd wading in in a minute telling me I'm not playing properly if I wasn't the best combat pilot in the Galay the moment I first installed the game, but * them. The proportionality in this game is totally screwed. This comes on the heels of having to ditch a batch of Poll Data Retrieval missions because it doesn't make clear in the mission text that while Planetary Scan Jobs are essentially zoom in, grab the data, zoom out, PDR jobs are essentially full-on slug-fests which my SRV withstood the first of for about four and a half seconds. Clearly the rest weren't going to happen, so why bother?
So I'm ill-disposed towards the whole enterprise at the moment and have barely - barely - managed to resist wiping my save again; which is what I usually do when I die for idiotic, stupid reasons of my abject, worthless failure to achieve anything in life.
Instead of that, this time, I'm going to go fly in Open, and if one of these "Roleplaying A Gentleman Pirate" types wants to come take my ship apart because I won't play along with their façade of civility, I invite them to knock them ****ing selves out.
This post was brought to you by unreasonable rage caused by other issues than a computer game (not least spelling 'Galaxy' as 'Galay'), but the computer game happened to be in the way.

Even if you don't have the best flight skills in the world, situational awareness is a skill that doesn't have physical limitations in this case. …

Still, now I'm coming down off the rage I have the contrition to do. You didn't deserve my abruptness and I apologise. I also apologise to B1rdy for the same. And I suppose I should apologise to FDev too, not that I imagine they're overly bothered by Just Another Salty Post, but still, my universal, all-round ineptitude isn't really their fault.
