Blatant Friday Fanboying

There doesn't seem to be much left to do in Premium beta (bar earn a fortune), I've been to most of the places and done a good number of strange things; Surfed the rings of a planet, destroyed my ship ramming a navigation beacon, failed to get the hang of Flight Assist Off, overestimated my ability to kill more than one pirate.

At this point the limitations should make it a little boring but I still love it. Mainly because so many of the planets are so beautiful. I spend quite a bit of time just hanging in space looking at them. My wife's favourite is Vulcan for some reason. Maybe because it is hot like her. But she likes sitting next to me and looking at the planets as we fly about. She got very excited when I showed her her seat in our Cobra.

I like meeting other players too. I've not been grief-ed yet, though I've been killed by other players and killed them. But the most fun has been meeting players and not shooting. In these cases strange and magical ship dances occur with much flashing of lights and opening of cargo bays. I'm not sure what's going on, maybe they want me to dump my cargo, but I like it. Especially looping round Anacondas. I'm not sure if the Anaconda owners agree.

It's lovely. Well done.

Right on Commander! Excellent post, very positive :)

I'm nowhere near having such a complete checklist, so the game is throwing something new at me each time i play... which is, unfortunately, not as often as i like!

Last night for example i finally managed to scrape enough cash together for my first weapon upgrade (yes, pathetically slow i know :p ) so i ventured out to the resource extraction sites at Asellus. Scooped up some free canisters, did a little dogfighting around asteroids and took out a couple of Cobras. Loved it :D

Thanks.

It was only a couple of weeks ago that I put some extended time into it. I was surprised that I played for a whole day and had no crashes, no griefing and didn't get bored. In fact I had to drag my self away. In that day I went from a Sidewinder with two pulse lasers to a hauler with nearly enough cash for a cobra.

She winces a bit when I boost out through the space station. Other than that she's happy for me to show off.
