Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[thinder]

Yeah. I've already maxed out the Power Plant on overcharged. Just left from getting the thermal spread mod put on it.

The only reason I didn't keep it for bounty hunting is persistence, with the Corvette my only limitation are my Shield Cell Banks, and I hunt until I'm out, mostly after reloading my weapons once or twice.

I can't do that with a fighter, but I recon, this ship is a tough adversary.

Anyone knows of a commodity we can load in Colonia and is rare in the bubble? I could load 500 tons of it and still feed my Carrier with Tritium using the ship cargo.

Thank you so much!

I'm currently just over 2,500 LY from Sol, heading towards the Temple region. I'm between spiral arms right now and the stars are well spaced apart. Even so, I've still been able to get quite a few first discoveries, so looks like this area isn't all that popular with commanders.

Apparently we were all given a new version of the FSS today, but so far I haven't noticed any difference to the old one.

I've detected quite a few of these out here, but haven't gone to investigate any in a ship with no weapons in case they're dangerous.

Man, it's time I upgrade my PC it plays a bit on me especially with two phones, controls and mice pluged on it.

Just got my order from Newegg USA delivered...

According to the Galnet tongue-in-cheek round-up these are Giant Wibbly Things.

Yikes. I might need to find a sofa out here to hide behind.

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

My disappointment with the picture is with how empty the glasses are, not only not full to the top but not even full to the measure line, however I cheer myself up with the thought that it is only beer.

These mugs look used.

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

Messed up my post. See below.

Careful with those sofas. They often act unpredictable and love to jump through time and space...

The Vulture's engines are driving me nuts. Sounds like a Semi engine braking.

Nice! What specs?

Delivered today:
. CORSAIR RMx Series (2021) RM850x CP-9020200-NA 850 W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply.
. 2 X SAMSUNG 870 EVO Series 2.5" 2TB SATA III V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD).
. G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 128GB (4 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16Q-128GTZR.
. MSI MEG X570S ACE MAX AM4 AMD X570 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard.
. Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick and a new TWCS THROTTLE (it works real well and I like it).

On its way out for delivery:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3D.

Haven't ordered it yet.
1X WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive.

Planned:
Pimax Crystal (pre-ordered), RX 7900 XTX both will not be available before mid Dec so I'll do with the screen and the GEFORCE GTX 1080Ti, very good card but I upgrade for 4K VR.

Now I got to bind the Warthog and see what it really feels like, but it is hyper-heavy compared to my TM 1600 and about 1/5 inc taller, also, knobs action is a lot firmer.

After that, when the CPU is delivered, I got to transfer all datas from the old to the new SSDs and build the PC starting with the PSU, my case and cooling are good for it...

Not the worse, but you need to get use to it...

 

[Marvin the Martian]

OK, this is very odd.

So I was out in the Vulture trying it out with the fixed Plasma Accelerators and got jumped by a Federal Corvette. I was running rings around him but couldn't hit often enough to wear him down.

So I figured I'd go back to the carrier, take a couple of the fully engineered multi-cannons off my Krait Mk II, put them on it and see how that worked out.

So I get back to the carrier, store two of the multi-cannons, go back to the Vulture, and when I go to put the multi-cannons in it, it says that the modules are illegal and cannot be fitted.

I have no idea how that has happened. I figured that maybe the Krait Mk II had a bounty on it that I don't know about, so I went back to the Krait and tried to refit the guns and guess what?

I can't put them back.

So now I have two fully engineered MC's I can't put on ANYTHING.

What's more, I have looked on everything and I have no bounties listed anywhere. I can't believe this crap.

 

[Marvin the Martian]

FIXED.

Rebooted to Horizons. When you highlight the item in the stored modules list in Horizons, there's a window right there that says "CLEAN MODULE" for a fee. Did that, rebooted to Odyssey, got them loaded up.

I didn't see any option like that in Odyssey. Unless I just flat-out missed it.
