Alec's best of the forum (and elsewhere) thread

[Alec Turner]

Added marx's excellent list of supercruise turn rates to the "Ship, weapon stat's, combat tips, etc" section.

Also, while I'm here and seeing as it's just happened - 3 more stations have been attacked.

Added a link in the "Screenshots and videos (and songs)" section to a work of pure genius - an ED parody song called "Reviewing the Simulation" from the Hutton Truckers. Highly recommended. Who knew that Psykokow could sing like Ron Moody?

LOL - I was literally on the verge of adding that before I left work but I was in a rush and decided I'd save it for tomorrow. Nice to know that someone with a similar eye on the forum is watching out for me. Thanks Alex (hope you're staying away from the combat logging threadnought)!

I've added Factabulous' list of attacked stations currently under repair with percentage repair progress for each once to the "Useful reference lists" section.

Whether anyone actually gives a damn about contributing to the repair process is another matter entirely!

I'm hearing rumours that Obsidian Orbital has been attacked!

Surprised there's no OBSIDIAN ORBITAL HAS BEEN ATTACKED!!!!! thread that I can link from the OP but I'll link one as soon as it appears.

Edit: well that didn't take long ... now linked.

Yes it has been attacked, I had my ship in the star port last night and they transferred it to the rescue ship Obsidian Orbital. I was just starting the Thargoid technology missions.
