[Distant Worlds] Rock-Rats-Video: how we really drive and a new record

Eisen · Jan 30, 2016

Last night 7 Rock-Rats, under them the high-g-inspector Akira Masakari, stormed two systems around WP5. This video shows some of their activitis. Most notably how they drive much different from their "Driving-School Instructor" and how they set a new record of full-prospection of all mats of a planet (3 minutes, 4 seconds!). Lots of funny talk and some breathtaking views!
Enjoy!

OMG, what a night.
BTW, SRV 1/2 on this side...
Drink and drive is not good!

You call THAT driving?!?
I'll have to record a video of my driving later.

What you didn't capture in the video, Eisen, is how quickly I got to 41% hull in the SRV on that run. I think there was a sideswipe from one red wine infused pilot in there somewhere...

This is how *I* drive.

(Still processing)

Don't most people do that? Once you get used to it, it's much better FA-on with a HOTAS set-up (you can basically drive the SRV like a ship with wheels

).

Domaq, one 3-2-1 go I was the only one to go alone in my direction, off to crap signals! So maybe there was another red wine infused pilot.

This red wine infused pilot smashed his srv on an an anaconda butt and exploded in fragments.
Before that I bounched a planet with the ship loosing 11% hull.
BTW, maybe I can be a good orbital scribe...
