Situation looks better now with Dormus, hes not in the hole anymore, but still very deep down! And now I here Count has trouble too? This planet really is a griefer ^^

I am stuck in my own personal hell hole/phased space where no one can reach me - and my SRV has now malfunctioned and refuses to pick up materials, so I can't refuel. I've shut all systems down and got into my thermal blanket, and picked up the only book I brought with me. Robinson bleeding Crusoe.

Patsy has started making preparations to kit out an AspEx and fly out. I've been telling her not to, it's too dangerous here, but she's her own boss.

At least you can see atm! :)

Today's Issue of GalNet: Hazardous Rescue Underway has been preempted by an episode of .....

As the Thruster Burns!



Will Cmdr Bomba Bounce to Safety?

Will the Rescue Team need rescuing?

Can the Count count beyond the number one?

Will Speedy the Sidewinder tell the other Cmdrs that Dormus is stuck in the well?

Will the truth be revealed that Cmdr Drake is his own Grandpa?


Tune in for these answers and more!

Same Elite Time!
Same Dangerous channel!


(Edit: Apologies Cmdr Drake, these things just jump in my head sometimes :p)

I made a bug report but no ticket, I figured support would just quickly fix the Situation but I wanted my little adventure of being stranded! One idea is that if I make it out of the canyon (what could possible go wrong at this point? Nothing!) and write a big SOS into the ground someone can make picture from higher up of it and I then go and annoy Support with some roleplayisch resque request :p
But to be honest, after everything that happend I would really like to be safed by one of you guys from the Resque Team, I would totaly be ready to stick to planet wilson till 2.3! And the Idea of trying to circumvent the planet does kinda sound like fun :D


Great Job scouting ahed Peregrinus, looking forward to see again today! And yes, I was at 3.81MM or so, havent checked since then will take a look today!

Also welcome to planet Wilson FoxTwo, always remember to be careful with dismissing and recalling your ship!

And great to see CMDR FrawdDigger visiting the Thread, great to see another Sidewinder Hero here <3

And now, pictures!
at first was trying to get some mats, I had some signal from one direction so I climbed up there (no luck tough, all rocks out of reach) and it was Flankhard who first came. From up there I had a good view of him flying around and taking pictures, he also did take another look at the hole

http://abload.de/img/012tpvd271u4l.jpg

Dormus then came and flankhard tried some wallclimbing with his srv and Dormus and his sidewinder pushing him up, I could see them from up where was, or at least I could see Dormus (Its really difficult to see a SRV from distance, how are you guys doing that? :D )
http://abload.de/img/012tpvd34lu94.jpg

And while I was sitting up there somwhere (how did I even get up there?!)
http://abload.de/img/012tpvd432ule.jpg

Drake approached to act as a lift and I jumped on top of his Conda

http://abload.de/img/012tpvd6kdukg.jpg

as we know now it didn't turn out too well! I also completley missed take more pictures as we continued ahed (was busy drving about and forgott it, sorry!) but then we crossed the Valley of the Drake and I have to say sitting in front there on the conda really felt like standing at the front of a ship moving on the Sea :D

But now to somethingmore serious, we lost Cajuncontrollers SRV! Losing a SRV is a great tragedy here on Planet Wilson:eek:
May you find your Peace brave little SRV, we will always remember you and your brave attempt to reach the core of the Planet

Edit: Have a nice vacation Flankhard, you deserve it!

She was a good SRV, but she did it for science and exploration....

Thanks to the phenomenal support at Gutamaya I have been able to rendezvous with my ship.

But the SRV is pretty much written off.

Also my exe crashes out if I am in instance with another commander there is an SRV deployed in that instance, so I'm pretty much useless around here now seeing as it is SRV central!

Gonna bid you all the best Bomba, but due to the mysterious and cascading technical woes experienced at New Bermuda/Camp Wilson, particularly around the Plateau of Certain Doom, I'm more of a liability and am going to end up dead or in need of emergency rescue myself! The SRV is out of action, and the ship is not well at all. Gonna head back to the bubble and watch this unfold on the news!

[EDIT]

Actually, while it' still light I may as well make myself useful and do some aerial scouting.

What are your coords Bomba?

Are you for or aft of the Plateau of Hope?

Are you still aiming for the Junction of Doom and turning right to get to a shallower chasm?

I have at least seen you for a short moment Count, thanks for visiting! I know Planet Wilson can be tough, but hes a nice planet at heart :D

Well, today ended where it started, on the plateu of hope - Thing about hope is leaving it seems to not end well. But Rescue Team manged to save CMDR Dormus, thats very good news! Other good news is I managed to find a bit of Iron, enough for a extra repair. One Repair can make all the diffrence :)

But the way ahed looks very difficult, CMDR Tarrakis then jumped off the plateau in his Sidewinder(edit: lol what, did I write Sidewinder? I mean SRV, I'm getting to obsessed with Sidewinders) like a madman to test how well that works out - we lost another SRV, so not too good :eek:


But I managed to snap some nice pictures from his jump, just had to move away from the PC quick again so they will come later! For now as bad as it looks to go ahead I'm sure we will find a way, there is nothing that can stop us so much I learned on Planet Wilson so far! We will probably need CMDR Drakes Conda tough, giving me another ride across the rough terrain ahead. We will make that work, thats for sure!

And now, please a moment of silence for Tarrakis SRV.











Edit: Can someone please give Havalok some rep for me? ^^

I'm starting to think using this plateau was a bad idea...sure, it's nice and flat on top, but the sides are near vertical, making it near impossible to get down from in an SRV.
A ferry ride is definitely in order, alas the team was Conda-less today and the surface of an AspX or a Sidewinder is far too small to go too far without risking Bomba falling off.

In other news, I tried to take a running jump onto the next outcrop in my SRV - it started so well, managed to get some huge air (several Km above the canyon floor), but I was falling too fast, hit the side of the cliff, tumbled, I managed a repair at this point, tumbled some more and finally...BOOM!
Luckily my ships safety systems did some quantum jiggery-pokery and I awoke in orbit.

I'm out for now as I need to get back to the bubble to help with the Dangerous Games/CGs, but I will return to Planet Wilson soon - unless of course Bomba makes it out before I get back.

I've heard 2 separate reports of commanders deploying their SRVs on what they thought was solid ground, only to drop through.

There is something very wrong with that plateau!

Despite the glorious daylight, it can be difficult to make things out on photos.

This is the Plateau of Hope - straight on is a sheer cliff face.

The best route down would be to the left (looking towards the Junction of Doom).

There are some steps that lead down to a sheer cliff, that is about half the height of the main cliff.

An unstable plateau, shafts dug into it hundreds of meters deep, bursts of gravitonic waves creating rifts in time-space....clearly the Thargoids or some alien species have been mining Framatonium from this planet's core to power their Framnamulators. I suspect the rescue party and Cmdr Bomba Luigi may be in even more danger than think.

Good luck with the Dangerous Games, I would help you as thanks for your help, but... well, you know! :D


Thanks for the great map Count, gives me good Idea of how it looks there!

Beyond the Plateau of Hope


There is a bit of a drop down a sheer cliff into the Shallow Well. There is only a small ridge, and on the other side is a narrow bore deep hole.

From the shallow well there are a series of challenging steps down, alas they end in a sheer cliff. He would need ship assistance to get down. Still, a very challenging descent.

Getting into the Shallow Well:
Would maybe need ship assistance to get into the well. Not too much of a drop, but would certainly do a little damage.

wilson23.png


The Steps

The terrain of the steps beyond the well is very treacherous, with at least one deep hole.

Beyond the Plateau there is a path running along the canyon. However, beyond that is very bad indeed!

wilson24.png


The path comes to a jagged end;

The jagged end of the path is just about passable.

(Looking back towards the path and the plateau just come from)

It was a worthwhile experiment. I was surprised by the distance you managed to achieve.

It is worth remembering that, unlike Cmdr Tarrakis, poor Cmdr Bomba Luigi no longer has a ship to perform quantum jiggery-pokery in the case of such an accident. This is all that remains of Cmdr Tarrakis SRV:

Hmm, that looks like a very good way to go you found there count! Main problem is the hole, falling in there would be bad and when going down in the srv so steep you can lose control very easy. But maybe we can get a asp in there to plug the hole, that could solve that issue.

And how far does it go down to the shallow well? On a World with such low G as wilson you can survive quite deep falls, but its of course a bit of poker. But sometimes you gotta take a bit of risk!

Temped to go online again after Match since it looks very promising, but I'm not sure its a good Idea to do it when I'm getting sleepy :D

I am quaking with horror at the route I am mapping out for you, but it's the best I can find! It is pitted with holes and cliffs and spikes!

My first instinct is to go with the suggestion of going up from the chasm using ship assist.

However - if you were to go and get some rest instead, it might give the team here some time to test out some ship assist techniques, and also for me to map the roue ahead properly - because so far I don't think the chasm has been the worst part, beyond the plateau there is a path,and it seems to end in a flurry of steep sharp anti-SRV spikes!

I shall update as I survey, but it would make me real nervous to know you were hurtling on down off the plateau and possibly following me into a cul-de-sac!

Damn right for science...and fun - I quite enjoyed flying in my SRV

Do not mourn my little Scarab though, I am already back in the bubble with a new one safely tucked away in the hanger
