Nah, you're fine.

The 0% Club

This is a new one for me. There was a thread for the 1% club, of which I'm already a member. After dealing with the griefers at Obsidian Orbital, I got away and made it back to the station with 0%. Of course, there's no repairs at Darnielle's progress:

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong with the video upload?

That's a youtube upload screen right? Errr, that's odd, I've never seen that before.

I did a quick google and came across this ..

Your YouTube channel needs to be verified in order to get permission to upload videos longer than 15 minutes. No matter how many videos you have posted so far, you still cannot upload longer videos (than 15 minutes) unless you verify your channel. Now, don’t get this “verification” confused with the blue tick verification on Facebook. YouTube simply asks you to verify your identity by confirming a mobile number. That’s it.​
​
Processing Abandoned Error on YouTube Channel
​
If you are stuck with the “Processing Abandoned, Video Is Too Long” error in your YouTube channel, you need to check your channel’s verification status right away. To check YouTube channel verification status, go to https://www.youtube.com/verify/ from your computer.​

The odd thing is that I've uploaded videos a lot longer than 15mins and I don't think I've ever confirmed a mobile number with Youtube ... might be worth a try tho if you don't mind doing it.

Finally had time for a few attempts last night, 4 launches, 4 rebuys, happy with progress :)
(There is one good run, just -1 landings on what it could've been 😂)

3 Attempts tonight. Not much worth taking from them except : 2 bumps in a raw without repairs got me a brand new regulation cobra.
Managed to fit a decent run but I have to check it before posting. It feels like my approaches are getting much better, my comptuer has a flourish of post-its all around it with landing pads, GCA WPN. I offer the follow order for the re-return : "AGA CAN PAWN"
I fell like I improved my SC time a bit. I don't feel like it's an improvement at all to get a better orientation but I haven't tested yet.

Nice to see you on the course last night Seingalt and apologies for briefly blocking the pad o7

Looked like there were a few others around too

This morning’s sole attempt before work started out well enough. My first dock at Garden Ring was below nine minutes. While my passages through the docking slots may have been a bit… unusual… I’d been recovering quickly, so I was hopeful to get into the 14 station bracket.

Then I managed to miss the docking slot three times, and hit Aspire Station, rather drift into docking position in FAOff mode. :(

Slightly late to the show (but still early by my standards), RL kept delaying my departure from Colonia, but thanks to the amazing FCOC Colonia Shuttle Service (doesn't this game have an awesome community!) I've arrived in Pareco ready to compete.

As I've mentioned on the Discord, I intend to participate in every unlimited round in my favourite ship The Nomad, which I've been losing races in since January 3301.

Intent to race:
CMDR Name: Raiko
Class: Unlimited
Ship: The Nomad (Asp Explorer)

Class: Regulation Cobra
Ship: Fat Tony's Hotrod

"Thanks Tony mate, not a scratch I promise!"

Hello everyone,
After some practice crashes last month, and a ship that resolutely refused to do the Deadly Spiral of Death Spiral Helix thing, I have set up a forum account and a Youtube account so I can do this all official like.

I shall be blowing up some, all or fewer of the following:
Where's Me Whippet? Regulation Eagle II from last month;
There Goes Me Whippet! Regulation Cobra III;
Me Whippet's On Fire! iCourier with thermal issues, nothing a couple more heatsinks can't fix.

Intent to: saunter elegantly around the course, pausing frequently to admire particularly fine vistas
CMDR Name: Martinjameson
Class: Regulation Cobra
Ship: There Goes Me Whippet!

Class: Unlimited
Ship: Where's Me Whippet?

Class: Unlimited/Insane
Ship: Me Whippet's On Fire!

As Day 5 kicks off, we see some shuffling in the order of names on the leaderboards as CMDRs submit new runs. We hope to see everyones' times go down and stop numbers increase as they become more comfortable with the course and the mechanics. The big change is the re-emergence of long time Buckyball Racing veteran Captain MD, who now holds the top spot on BOTH the Regulation and Unlimited boards!

Regulation Cobra There Goes Me Whippet! has made its debut, after enjoying some wonderful views of various toast-racks gyrating around us, we finally managed to last 20 minutes without blowing up. Tomorrow further attempts will be made to persuade Eagle Where's Me Whippet? that we don't need to loop around the back of every station this time.

The ship with no name:

now has an unlimited entry. Personal PB after improving over a few runs. Still not perfect and I'll return but time for some regulation action.

Edit: and @Fish172 , thanks for the name inspiration, and I'd thought you had 19 landings already, might wanna think about getting one of your faster 18's in ;)

In the meantime here's runs 1 to 3:
