You ok? You still in the bubble?
Missed this. What System in Jam' Mem" in?A while back while in Colonia I bought a Type 9 Heavy to ship goods for phase 1 of the Colonia bridge project.
Phase 2 started yesterday, and by chance, that was the day I finally bought the Imperial Cutter - 704T of cargo carry capacity that can defend itself properly from pirates.
Elite Dangerous is still dangerous - my first haul of cargo for the community goal, I submitted to an interdiction from an NPC pirate, deployed weapons, and the power went off on everything! On emergency oxygen. I forgot to set module power priorities so that power would go off on non-essential modules when weapons were deployed.
An embarrassed Quain limped into port with the shields still down (they lost power) and 109,000 of hull damage done to the Cutter.
On the plus side I sold my 704T load of goods for 18 million credits of profit. At this rate I should make back the cost of the Cutter in a couple of hours.
Whew!
Also my first trip to Jameson Memorial:
Shinrarta Dezrah - I probably spelled it wrong. You have to be Elite in something to get a permit to access this system.
Yes I have been busy doing supporting faction - going well. It's quiet today and I'll be online in about 20 mins or so with no particular plans if you had any ideas for doing something in private group until 8.55am UK time.
Ha! Then spelling it correctly won't help me.
Had hoped to visit it, but no problems.Sorry, missed it. Got caught up with the Park Manager where I live. Been busy "helping" him all day. So you're still at (see conversations) ?

We've got a partial eclipse of the moon tonight. I'm so excited ! This is for real !
Yes. I have a very close friend who cannot read or write anything in English or any other language! She's a very bright girl, but what a shame, what a waste, what a huge impediment in all facets of her life.Well... as long as you haven't forgotten how to read and write English and how to use the forum, you're fine I guess.
One of my fondest Elite memories is of playing the original* on my C64, lights off and watching a full eclipse happen.
*yeah, purists may say that the BBC version is the original, and C64 is just a port; technically correct, but C64 version is the original for me
For me, it was Elite on the Acorn Electron.*yeah, purists may say that the BBC version is the original, and C64 is just a port; technically correct, but C64 version is the original for me
If you haven't piloted a Cobra using only the rubber keyboard of a ZX Spectrum, you can never truly be "Elite"
What is her/your native language then?Yes. I have a very close friend who cannot read or write anything in English or any other language! She's a very bright girl, but what a shame, what a waste, what a huge impediment in all facets of her life.
Her's is Indonesian. Mine is English.
As I can't speak Indonesian, but she can speak English, I'm going to try and teach her to read English. Worth a try ........

and we had the tribbles
Seeing as Paramount has more lawyers than the original Elite had stars I think they were called something else possibly Trumbles.
Yes, Trumbles they were.
