We are about to broadcast our profile on Alot, and I learn that his record has been beaten by 8 minutes. EIGHT MINUTES!.Congratulations Kligg!
you should still broadcast it.. no one will mind. once Alot has a 7A scoop he'll get the record back and shave a good 30 mins off.
I used credits for my advantage, Alot uses a thing called skill.. which im unfamiliar with.

Sorry to hear about your loss doubleskulls, truly despicable behaviour, if I dint think hed just give me the runaround because you can just warp to another system to beat a mass lock.. id gear up and chase him down.
the thread you posted seemed to have stirred up some other psychos now.. so it wouldn't surprise me if he had company by the time I got there.
edit:- what am I saying I can get there relatively quickly lol.

The RSW news report on CMDR Kligg's new record should be out of post-production, and in the rotation shortly after 03:00 GMT
 
Words of wisdom there EZ, however, I want to quote Edmund Burke: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

Should CMDR Alot need a "safehaven" ie a beacon the next time he goes for another record I shall be waiting for him at the finish line ;)

Edit: And that goes for anyone else doing this race, just give me a heads up, and I'll try to be there when you arrive.

Agree wholeheartedly, but at the risk of restarting a debate, I don't know how effective "good men" can be in this case. If the CMDR in question is an honorable scoundrel and plays on the level, then yes, rounding up a posse and going after him is a sound idea. But, if it turns out he is less than honorable and based on his actions that might just be the case... He'll run, he'll hide, he'll combat log, he'll exploit, or invite his friends to make a quick buck by letting them claim the bounties. I just don't see how the good guys can prevail with the game as it is. Got my fingers crossed for you that it won't be a waste of time. :)

Anyway, back to the races! Let's be safe out there.
 
Almost half way now....

Another 2K LY jumped this evening so far, the missus is visiting the 'Galactic Bingo Halls' tonight so I could put some time in :D

At this rate I won't be slowest to make it to Sagittarius A but will be way down with them. However, I think my quote will be - "I wish I had bought some module repair kits!" :)

GOD I LOVE THAT MOVIE!
My groove is right where it needs to be, though. I do react like that when someone throws it off.

Gonna have RS on all this evening, hoping to hear the tale of the legendary CMDR Kligg!
 
Well, guess the question of whether to record my run this weekend has been settled.

Z, if I have video of my arrival, that'll count for my screenshot, right?

It's easy enough to get a screenshot from a video :p (that's how I've always done it)

Might be worth a quick F10 at the start and end just in case though... Would be a real shame to have to go back, after all :D

You got a couple options here to get the start/finish shots:

1. Screenshots in addition to your vids. Easiest and quickest.
2. Screenshots FROM your vid. When you get done, just take some screen grabs from your departure and one when you open the map at Sadge to show the clock. (Don't forget to open the map so we can see the time.)

Good luck, Rankaze! o7
 
Well, I've sold off all my exploration data (worth about 24.8 MCr). On looking back at some of the systems I visited and planets I scanned, I noticed one had something a little odd about it.

Rotational Period: -4.9D
Apparently, there are time travelling planets out there.
Or just a minor bug with binary planets, but where's the fun in that?
Also, I only now realised that one station, Irkutsk, in Alioth actually offers Asps at a permanent 20% discount.
But what's better than a cheaper-to-rebuy Asp and some free credits after switching my modules over?
Finding that they also offer Orcas at a 20% discount.

I think I know where my earnings from the CG in 78 Ursae Majoris are going to end up.

Oh, yes. I intend to get my screenshots, but just in case I should have any... unfortunate mishaps in the Sagittarius A* system before I can get one, the video will serve as evidence I made it.
 
In light of recent events: Buckyball Run A*: What do you do when a mountain is there? You shoot the Climbers!

As long as I get my time recorded, he can shoot at me all he wants, he's just helping me get home faster

He better shoot fast, though, or I'll pull up alongside and self-destruct in his face! :p

Bucky says you're good! A black box recording is perfectly acceptable as proof. Just make a note of the time of the incident after you respawn. ;)

Thank you!

Also, all this talk of griefers on Sadge's lawn gives me an idea.

With all the recent Alliance-oriented CG's, I have hit the point where I actually feel like it is worth playing an Alliance CMDR. So I no longer have a need for my second (Imperial) CMDR who I largely created just to participate on the galactic stage.

I had been planning to figure out some way to transfer Crystal's wealth to Jaryd. But all of this talk has me rethinking that plan. I think, instead, that I might go ahead and buy her that Fer de Lance that I have been thinking about. Kit it out with a full combat load. Fly it out, a little at a time, maybe an hour here and there, when I'm bored or whatever... and leaving her there. In a full combat FDL. Just so, you know, if another such individual should happen to show up, someone a little more properly equipped than your average explorer would be on hand to deal with them.

Dunno if I'll actually do it... but hey, nobody has completed the run in an FDL yet, right?

It'd be an interesting way to retire her.
