Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Well, we can always have a community sing along whilst we wait.
🎼
🎻 I LOVE MY SHIP
She's a nimble little minx,
With the radar of a sphinx
And the landing gear of Enid Blyton

And she flies so true
That without too much ado
She never really needs to get her fight on.

She is smart and trim
And her profiles kind of slim
And she handles like the softest gentle breeze.

She don't easily get flustered
if her canopy gets busted
Merely whispers,'I am broken, fix me please.'

Now she doesn't gulp her fuel,
She uses time, she is no fool
And whether sip or sup She finds her game.
I think she is quite pretty
As i've rendered her in ditty,
And i rather hope that you will feel the same.

*Probably needs a few choruses of 'I love my ship' and other gubbins, but i don't pretend to be anything more than a tiddly-om tunesmith

Although I was rather thinking more of Gozer the Gozerian...
 
Well, THAT was fun!

After getting home from work, I sat down and went back into the Thargoid base I'd run away from earlier. This time I was a bit more careful, banged into fewer things and didn't squish eggs - STILL no idea if they're acidic. BUT I made my way to the central chamber to try again; this time remembering to properly set fire-groups on the SRV.

I still couldn't figure a way to drop the needed item onto the hole where the hologram is, and I began to wonder if that was, in fact, what I was supposed to do. Out of curiosity, I dropped it while sitting on the lit pad - and boom; problem solved. The Machine picked up the Probe and held it - quite cool. The Sensor was next, then I had a wonderfully frustrating few minutes trying to figure out how to GET the Link. I finally got annoyed and shot it.
I mean really - that's FDevs' answer for EVERYTHING, isn't it?

Of course, I was now apparently at war with the Scavengers, so after collecting lots of new materials I went back, placed the Link and nodded when the Machine glowed.
It didn't do much...just glowed.
Figuring FDevs had the same creativity with the 'goids that they did with the Guardians, I scanned it - and yup, I got the light show!

VERY cool.

Now to get back to my ship and clean all this slime off my dune buggy.
 
2 missions 16 million crzs:) 1 low cz 700 cr ( destroyed 1 python,1 cobra mk iii the other python did a BSR after 50% left of his hull ) : i was quite disappointed on the cz with that take out 2 ships for 350cr each:( . nowi want to got to Farseer and borrow one of her famous bombs for the NU system for such a low cr giver : :)

Ooooh! Prawns!

Excellent film. Did I read somewhere there was supposed to be a sequel? Can't remember.

I just did some elementary mathematics and it seems my carrier has 54 full 500ly jumps in terms of tritium reserves. And another 5 weeks of update costs in the bank.

Which is nice.

So, what to do today... oh. I know: haven't been to Davs for ages. Let's go there.

Edit. The cat seems to have made it in now. No more ladies briefs :D

Interesting day...
Currently on very good terms with all the factions at the CG station, apart from L.Y.S Corp.
Who are now sending assassins after me on a regular basis (Yes, i'll take those mats thank you very much).
Kind of friendly with a nice chap called Benny Boyd, from the LTT 1935 Drug Empire. Just given me a mission to drop off some washing machines, says it's all legal... :unsure:
 
I'm still trudging my way through Halo but I would very much like to add a little cargo vessel to my small fleet. I think I only have around 20m creds but I assume I can get a better hauler than the Cobra MK III for that.
 
A T6 is a great medium size hauling vessel. Handles well too. And explores. But combat is not its forte.
Thanks. It'd be just my luck to see an influx of human players looking for pvp right after I deck out my new T6 for cargo missions.

Nice that it's also good for exploring though. I did enjoy that aspect early on. You kind of need to when you first start.
