Seriously Frontier?

Sheesh, what are they teaching at the academy these days?

Dude, you did it all in the wrong order. Spin cycle the washing machine until it hyper jumps, then mop the floor preemptively, ask landing control to make a big mug of coffee to be readied on landing. And then you can go to the kitchen and have a donut.

With other words: git gut!

But there's no training manual for this. Thanks FD!
 
This shows FDs typical favouritism of coffee drinkers. As usual they listen to the vocal minority and us tea drinkers get ignored.

I thought it was because support for Brownian Motion Devices were already in the game from the get go? I mean, I haven't seen any complaints about spilt tea so far.
It's just Frontier hadn't considered that colonial gut detergent until now.


Oh, OP, you might want to look at an engineer upgrade to the washing machine to reduce vibration. But the engineer will probably want 600 packets of custard creams before they'll work for you, and then need some random ores that'll require you to drive around Dartmoor for hours looking for them.

I really think that I have to disagree with this. In the eternal Tea vs Coffee debate, FD as a truely English company is obviously Tea biased, and to be brutally honest - have you ever had a good cup of coffee in England?
 
Whilst attempting to land my ship, the coffee I'd left stewing in the kitchen fell off the worktop as the washing machine was on spin cycle so I got up to sort it out. Now, not only did I lose my ship whilst mopping up, I also lost a perfectly decent cup and had to make another coffee.

At any point did the thought of "probably should drop to menu then go clean that up, then" cross your mind? I realise your post is likely tongue-in-cheek.

Imagine if the on duty crew just all walked out of the bridge of a passenger ship to attend to someone's dropped crockery and the autopilot drove the ship into a reef. Clearly not the command staff's fault for abandoning their posts because lord knows how vital it is to sort out the crockery! My immersion! How can I immerse my coffee beans or tea leaves now? FRONTIER!!!1

I feel for your loss; arguably I feel for the loss of the coffee more than your ship, to be fair - but I'm not sure this is really something Frontier needs to resolve. :)

I've had this coffee known as 'Soluble Coffee' at the office. My mind was blown at said invention.

Tongue in cheek? There's only one person being cheeky here mate and it 'aint me. This is a very serious issue. Next thing it will be all my fault when I get VR and burn myself when my cigarette falls out of my mouth.

Cheers Webferret. Run out of Rep giveability so here's a +1

I feel Mr Beans' frustration. That's what I'll have to do next time so I don't crash my ship.

P.S. What is this 'Menu' button I hear speak of?
