Hmmmm. That's actually not a bad idea.
What an amazing thread!
Mission accomplished!
I have just sat down here after pulling off the vive headset and downed TWO glasses of tawny port just to calm down.
It will take me a while to digest this: Chiggy's unstinting efforts have me speechless. It was one thing to accept his PM to buckyball to my rescue but quite another to drop into the galaxy map to see his progress live (and the speed of it). And everyone's support here also. I messed up (and let's be honest, I am a 'clumsy' player at the best of times - I role-play this far more than I do 'game' it!) and had given up on the Lakon Type 6E. It was my mistake and this game above many others makes you pay for that (one reason I am addicted). But the support and encouragement from everyone changed everything around. Yes, Chiggy did the actual rescue - but the emotional rescue came from all of you. Every one. There hasn't been a snide or sarcastic or trolling comment here at all. Not one. When that Germanium popped out, I panicked knowing that the whole community was supporting me while also feeling that this moment was now never going to happen. In that moment of panic, I rallied. I rallied because this community was wishing me well and not waiting for me to fail. That made a difference in a live stream (something I have never done before).
You all made a difference tonight and I for one am thankful!
Then again two glasses of tawny port are making me emotional . . .
Fantastic. Best post/thread I've read here. Warms my heart to read this and so overjoyed it worked out. Can't think of another game this could happen in. Congrats.I have just sat down here after pulling off the vive headset and downed TWO glasses of tawny port just to calm down.

This is where we need a bank accounting system in ED. I'd happily donate a million credits to CMDR Chiggy!
Maybe a CG, where we can deposit commodities or something for the hero CMDR?
Well done! Good show!
