I like the quote in your sub. Very metaphysic! Do you know where it's from? A book?Glad you liked it, alwyas a challenge for a none native speaker to speak his mind, well, not really. I did not study anglistics and my writing shows, but I lived long enough in USA and Ireland, hence can express my opinion despite german heritage.

Just for @Spaceman Si , here is my Viper III realy trying to look like a Viper IV - only uses two parts from the ship kit - from the wings and spoilers selections:
Its not quite there, but its pretty close

On a non-game related note... I hope everyone has everything they need for Crimbo: we just went out for some last-minute stuff and observed cray people.
Jammed carpark? Check. Car horns blaring in anger? Check. Panic-stricken shop assitant hoping there were more parsnips in tthe store room? Check. Lord above knows how bad it will be tomorrow. I'm going nowhere.

Some peoples ideas about Christmas are so 16th century, it isn't a solid 12 days of celebrations etc with no work allowed nowadays there will be shops open and stuff available in a couple of days but they can't see it and they also think everyone within 6 connections of them will be dropping round for a meal as well.
I was at the bank this morning and over half the queue appeared to be people from shops etc dropping off money to make more room in the tills.
That paintjob looks perfect for some old school patina. Have you tried to go to max velocity (2001c), just leaving the throttle at max for say 20 min or so? If you haven't and decide to do so, be aware that you have to repair the ship afterwards, in advanced maintenance, not the paint! No serious damage, but also beware not to leave the ship for hours, or you run out of fuel.Just for @Spaceman Si , here is my Viper III realy trying to look like a Viper IV - only uses two parts from the ship kit - from the wings and spoilers selections:

It does look pretty cool when the paint is scraped off by the thin air between them heavenly bodies

I like to let it build up gradually, just through regular day to day activity - this was my Chromed Cobra MK III after I took her all the way out to Monkey head Nebula to Unlock Prof Palin:

On matters outside ED:
Tell me about it! I found myself at a loose end early this afternoon and decided to nip out to the local shops and top up my Holiday chocolate stash, and good heavens, the antics!
Wall to wall traffic everywhere, people barging and shoving (even more so than usual), their children being yeeted left and right by people shoving through, separated in the mad dash to be next at the checkout, just plain left halfway around the store with no clue where their family at now because everyone gotta get everything before everyone else!
And don't get my started on the 'Friends Reunited' gathering in the goddamned doorway!
Ho ho ho indeed!
Hope y'all are already settled with all that you'll need or want for the rest of the festivities!
Stellar Screenshots
Oh my god! Columbi's Haven in the HIP 23759 system. This is THE most extraordinary outpost I've ever visited. Photos don't do it justice, I've got some video coming later. SERIOUS WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE YOURSELF DOCKED HERE WHEN YOU LOG OFF Myself and at least three other cmdrs are now...

Know what I thought today looking at the people with their haunted looks chasing stuff? Germany being somewhat dominated by Christian faith, politically, mentally and traditionally, now, if today the refugees, Mary and Josef, would knock at most doors here, they would close quicker than you can say Ho ho ho.
Bloody commerce . I can't stand it.
On that note, have a peaceful you know what I mean.... I have a original "Vienna Gulyas" in the oven that I started three days ago.... one more hour.... gulp.
Very close that one here: https://www.lilvienna.com/authentic-austrian-beef-goulash/
Did all my shopping last Friday. What I don't have now, I'll do without until this Friday. Just went to the local butcher today to pick up my prepared order, the shop was reasonably empty. Main attraction was the butcher explaining to an elderly customer the quality of the meat (and since that butcher founded a local meat label, he can do a lot of explaining 
- not exactly organic, since that would be too much beaurocracy, just local farmers, local feed. Check it out if you want to.).
Now I got a 2 kilo (4 pounds) piece of pork neck in the fridge, marinated, prepared and sealed, ready to be turned into pulled pork

.Excellent.... my local is certified here: http://www.neuland-fleisch.de
Now, I am sceptical on labels, but my Lady being a Veterinary knows what is real and what is not.
Love pulled pork, tried my first last year after I got myself a "Dancook" BBQ... but I admit, we could eat it, but it was far from what I know it can be.... Not easy to do an excellent PP.... Was short before to buy a smoker, but we are two... hence a bit of overkill... then again, there is that small Rösle smoker.... No!!!!.... I will resist! Hehehe

So annoyed, im just under halve way to reaching sag A from sol, quite pleased i've not taken any heat damage from a star, or hull damage from pirate attacks or that one rough landing when i didn't realize i was landing on a 8g planet... until now, when my ps4 system had an error and rebooted... Whilst doing a jump. When it finished the reboot i went back into the game to find i took hull and module damage for running into a star...
Don't worry - a single collision doesn't kill you, and you will be able to repair in Colonia. If you brought an AFMU, you can repair everything but the hull and the powerplant (and that AFMU itself). If you have severe hull damage (I'd say single figures left, but that's up to you), you can always call the Hull Seals.
Speaking about running into stars: would you?

Right now, I'm wondering why my normally-backwater home system has 120 bounties collected today when there's no res sites or CNB in the system. And it's an anarchy.
Someone's finally got offended that an anarchy exists.
Or - they've been hunting somewhere else and it's a handy IF. Either way, wary.

I’m actually docked in an anarchy system at the moment. In nearly 24 months of playing, it is only the second one I have come into contact with! In olden times (i.e back in 1984 and in Frontier: Elite II) they were all over the place, did lawanorder expand in the intervening years??
Quite nice to see the Coriolis with “Never Surrender!” written on it

That is remarkable! I’d swear that was a MkIV, looking at it!
I am very fond of mine. It got me properly started with combat, and I love flying it
Well, I was material gathering from crystals... But then I came across this slope, I just had to try and ski/drift down it. Once I finished that particular material, I spent another hour drifting down. Starting from the top, and then trying to drift down through the crystal field. Make sure to do FA-off and have head look activated!
HIP 36601 5 A Bio(5) if anyone is interested. You can land on top of the slope.
