Gosh, where to begin ... it might be simpler to ask what conventional things I've done.
So right now I'm on day 32 of the First Great Planetary expedition - driving over 5000km around Kumay in an SRV along with 30+ other equally uncoventional commanders.
See our interactive 3D route map here (
http://buckyballracing.org.uk/kumay.html) or click my sig for more info.
Other than that, I've been a long time member of the Buckyball Racing Club so I've spent a lot of time perfecting the art of high speed supercruise approaches and landings in ships stripped for racing (weaponless, shieldless, tuned to go as far and fast as possible). There's a back catalogue of some of the races I've taken part in over here:

When I'm not doing things like this I'm usually "blazing my own trail" by going out of my way to seek unconventional things to do such as:
Getting a Ship Launched Fighter inside a Thargoid base
The adventure begins when I re-spawn in my Asp X outside the alien base, delighted to find that I still have a UA in my hold after yesterday's adventures in the heart of darkness with Cmdr Cold_Za. I head back inside for one final look around before I return back to the bubble (to catch up with...

Shoving Guardian tech' into the Thargoid machine so I can watch it go frickin' nuts
So yeah ... if you fancy witnessing the above for yourself then here's how. You're going to need: 1 x SRV 1 x AMFU (optional) 1 x corrosion resistant cargo rack (optional) 1 x normal cargo rack 1 x Guardian item of your choosing (later) 1 x Thargoid Sensor (later) 1 x Thargoid Link (later)...

Organising a 50km long suicidal SRV race along one of the ridges of Pomeche 2C
For a long time now I've been wanting to create a standing SRV time trial race which people can enter whenever they fancy (and as often as they fancy), something akin to the Buckyball A* Challenge (but for SRVs) that could run for many years. I think I've finally found the perfect location. It...

There's loads more (there's no limit to where the imagination and a sense of playfulness can take this game) but I'll leave you with this one (from my current planetary circumnavigation expedition) ... spent a pleasant hour gathering all the bits of wreckage from a WANTED ship I ran into (and sorta destroyed) and then carefully shunting it all into one nice big pile ... why? because it's there!
