There has to be a Norman Stanley Fletcher in the game somewhere ... please fdev!Now that is a name to conjure with...
I'd be tempted to have a female Bounty Hunter type from that name, it just 'feels' right... Maybe when Odyssey drops I'll get a fresh full version and start another 'new' character.
By then I should have completed my triple triple
ETA: Wow - I thought Wayland prison was depressing! Barlinnie is even more so

Would his ship be named "Porridge"?
HMP Slade (Her Majesty's Prisonship?)
Talking of triple elites...One upon a time an Anaconda lurked in a haz res, dark, sinister, all powerful. Then along game 3 ships, they made their first mistake and scanned the beast know as scholsey, could they know it was a triple elite, admiral, king, fully engineered grade 5 closed circle? Probably not. The conda scanned back, hmmm "spikey", "two prisons" and "dodgy make up", peculiar names he thought, and a wing of three! Of course they were all visible at the same time in the wonderful VR optics. What are their ranks, as he locked on to "two prisons", expert... no dangerous... no deadly WT... Anyway he ignored this glitch and noticed their status, hmmm not wanted, "no surprise" the mighty scholesey chuckled. Then one couldn't resist and let off a rather feeble pulse laser. "Seriously" scholsey thought, then another rather weak attempt came from one of the others, scholesey looked at his grade 5 closed circle shield. No damage came as no surprise. Regardless scholes set to fire at will and retaliated with a force to inspire awe. 10 seconds later scholesey muttered "no triple elite for you today mwah ha ha" and sent out some limpets to scavenge what remained, low grade materials, obviously.Now that is a name to conjure with...

The moral of this story is, if scholesey was on a flat screen it would have taken 15 seconds! Outrageous! An extra 5 seconds as the dropping of VR clock ticked away. VR For ED:O hoorah.
True, I just feel like the second bite of that eclair where joy turns to mild disappointment- is it true no FD at virtual LaveCon as well?
Congratulations to VR users, you did so much better than macOS users when it came to keeping it going:
News - Important Mac announcement
Hello Commanders, It is with great sadness that we must announce the upcoming end of Elite Dangerous on Mac. Firstly, we want to reassure you that this decision did not come lightly and is something that we have been investigating for some time. As many of you will know, despite our best...forums.frontier.co.uk
VR is just as TOAST as a Mac OS client. Even if we reach 3000 pages.
It doesn't look like it.

Yes he could have started a crowd fund for a computer space game! He would have considerably more than £29m by now!

of stubborn nerds who refuse to let go. We might as well go down with a bang!
And, where's a Community Manager when the community feels in dire need to be managed? This thread has been going on FOR A MONTH NOW. Thank you Frontier. Nothing to announce at this time.
Given that Frontier have stated their ambiguous position, be prepared to be ignored on the question of VR support for Odyssey for many months, potentially years.
We gave them our dough and we get the rise!
Are you seriously salty that you don't have VR? And you're now happy that VR will no longer be supported?
I think you misunderstood him, he is so far the loudest VR supporter here, fending off semantic-trolls and the like ;-)
Yeah as @Maggie_Oz said it's cathartic. I don't really believe FDev will do something with this because as many pointed out, this decision was made ages ago and I know how software development works from the inside.
I think people just prefer honesty.

Thats another perfectly good irony meter ruined.
Because 400 pages of the same arguments being repeated ad nauseum will change everything.
