I don't know what to do anymore...

It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Today I was most upbeat as I had almost finished a passenger mission to Colonia. Now, I had the idea to take a few passengers out there, so I loaded my asp explorer with 3 cabins and 3 missions to Colonia. Should net me about 50 to 60 mil after it's all said and done. I know, not much, but I'm a noob and I wanted to explore the unknown. So I head out about 2 weeks ago and start heading toward Colonia. It was my first trip out there so I had forgotten to bring AMU to fix my shift drive when It was damaged from so many neutron jets. I made it about 1/3 the way before my fsd started acting up and a was forced to stop using neutrons. I managed to make it to Colonia, but on my way to repair my ship I was scanned and two of my passengers left, failing 2 of 3 missions had picked up. Frustrated but still determined I pressed onward and started to head back toward sol, where I picked the passenger missions up. I figured, oh well, happens and thought I could make up the lost cash in data from scanned planets and such as I headed home. I spent a good 48hrs of game play scanning planets and stars and all sort of stuff as I made my way from Colonia to sol...and when I just get back to sol and just about to land I get interdicted and blown up. All that time and energy spent data farming and going way out to Colonia with passengers was equal to nothing as soon as I got back to sol. I'm a man and I can take a punch or two, but what this game just did to me made me feel like everything I had spent hours working towards meant nothing. It broke my heart. This isn't this first time this has happened to me but it sure as hell was the most painful. I am completely torn.

Welcome to Elite: Dangerous. Never fly with more than you are prepared to lose. Elite: Dangerous can be very unforgiving. Maybe take a break from the game and return at a later date? Patches seem to have broken it anyway...

Fly safe Commander.

Meh, father and son was one of Yusuf Islam's worst lyrics...

And most people's dreams outlive their short lives...

Slowing down people who are totally on for doing something is uncool.
Daddy should have offered help instead of trying to get his son to forget his dreams...

I know, he was using the whole thing for effect, trying to display the conflict between young and old and whatever else plays into that, but its overall a negative interaction and so, a negative song. Maybe the song taught something to various fathers and sons, but seems a wasted opportunity not to resolve it in a positive way.

I'm sure there's 1001 ways to read that.


What really cracked me up was the song "Sad Lisa" - I knew when I heard it the first time, that he wrote this about someone he knew. And I also knew he'd get flack from that person feeling betrayed having Mr. Islam airing his interpretation of her troubles in a song heard the world over... And years later, I heard some old concert clip on YouTube, where he admitted as much in between songs - apparently, she'd been unhappy about the song and they weren't talking anymore...
I guess pop stars can be just as daft as the next guy ^^

Can't say I'm a fan myself. Yes, I am sure that these pop-star types can be every bit, if not even a shade more, as daft as the rest of us. :)
