Help, I need Ship Rats!

Reminded me of this this.

"Late as usual, Pirate scum, there's much work here needs doing, come on you sea rats! Get off your ships!".

Not quite what the Orc army expected from the Corsair ships of Umbar.

Funny bug it has to be said.

If you make it to the exit - it's smooth driving all the way to the top. The other valleys also lead to freedom... eventually. Looks easy from up here, but I'm sure Peregrinus video will show a different reality on the ground. Also "Intersection of Doom" will probably be renamed "Intersection of tea and biscuits" by the time you guys arrive.

That looks like a very good way out, great work! But I really hope the Intersection of Doom won't do its name justice (I blame you if I die there, your name, your responsability! )

Ouch! You don't want that :O. I have flown the better part of my pilot life in a sidewinder and if it has a toilet at all it is one of those portable human excretion recycling units. yuk! 300 years of technical advancements and we have still problems with fitting, pipes and hoses, especially around the unit that filters the water from the more substantial part...

Stay away from it,
CMDR Jermus

Have you ever seen the toilett in a SRV?


And now I'm ready for the next day, will be going online in 5-10 minutes or so. And probably gonna make some little detours here and there today to hunt iron and nickel on the way. Still have enough for a couple repairs but driving through this canyon I have to repair quite a lot!

Bomba - Have you tried logging on with the 1.6 version of the game as suggested previously?

I have nothing useful to contribute, either in advice or rescue operation, but I just wanted to drop a line and say I love this thread

I think this thread shows some of the real spirit of the game. I was trying to explain to someone in another thread how you can take the simple things the game offers to make something more complex, but they were too focused on actaully building a thing, such as a ship or a base. Here these players are taking simple game mechanics and even the game's bugs to create something that wasn't there before. Most importantly , however, they are having a lot of fun doing it.

He's aware Shadragon, but he's having too much fun this way. I'm sure at some point he'll reach a safe spot and the Rescue Team will have dropped enough supplies to declare him "rescued". Then again maybe not......How far away is 2.3/4

I'll head back over then, I'm just scouting some of the neighbouring systems...kinda hoping one of them has an ELW, if all else fails, we could leave you there

"Well, what we're talking about in privy terms is the very latest in front-wall, fresh-air orifices, combined with a wide-capacity gutter installation below."

Can an SRV drive carefully onto the back of another commanders ship and be given a 'lift' gently to safer ground?

It works but I'm not sure a ship fits in that hole. But there are some spikes to hang on, somehow I get out of here!

Don't make me publish a Tragic Ending to that GalNet Article! Get out of that hole!

I think i could stretch to buying a sidewinder if you want to give it a go.

Unfortunately I am at work tonight...so going to miss out on any adventures while CMDR Bomba is online...
I have uploaded my 3 videos to YouTube (just over 3hrs of yesterdays adventures) but so far as I can tell only 2 of the video have actually been made available....

Spoiler

maybe the 3rd one will load while I'm at work....but it says "96% uploaded. About 3 minutes remaining." on YouTube for the last hour...hope my computer didn't freeze up at home...

Anyways...

Exit point POW the ground. Drove all the way from the bottom.

Found another SRV wreck close to the exit point. Notice I have recalled my ship in the backround - ah, how easy we forget the everyday comforts.

Cargo left behind could suggest that it was somebody trying to bring you supplies.

Not sure about the gold. Female admirer perhaps.

Nice screen shots & map you are making ...also like the POIs you have found...will hopefully check them out sometime in the future

At the very least, I nominate this planet to be renamed to "Bomba's World".

At the very least, some flavor text for the system. =)

I think they've renamed it Planet Wilson. I'm guessing there's a Tom Hanks reference in there.

Sidey incoming, hang in there Bomba!
