Hey all,
I'm Paul, CMDR Vernon in game. I've been CMDR Vernon since 1984 when I was 10.
I've been given approximately 12 months to live. I'm based in the UK. UPDATE: 6 months to live based on new tumours popping up on my spine recently...)
On the 8th November I received the news that my cancer had returned and it is terminal.
I've always played independently, got about 3 hours in multicrew and never flown in a wing. I've never mined.
I'm currently in hospital after having an undiagnosed soft tumour removed from my upper spine on the 12th November and I also have the terminal bone tumours on my ribs and lower spine and mets in my lungs.
I'll be unreliably on and off the game over the coming months but I'd like to explore parts of the game I've never bothered with too much if I can and for that I need the community to help.
My main role has always been an explorer. I play in Odyssey and am ELITE 2 explorer, cataloguer, broker, expert defenceless ranks.
I've never gone in for the grind and I don't want to now, what I have in game, I've earnt the long way round.
I currently fly a Krait Phantom, armed and engineered with a respectible 53Ly range. I'm not aiming to make billions or any of that, just looking for semi reliable players that might want to team up once in a while in an evening to help me explore more of the game. This might be a few weeks away at least at the moment!
Other ships I have are from memory, a python, dbx, dolphin, orca, aspx, a collection of vipers and eagles and my old Sidewinder.
My machine is still struggling with fps on Odyssey in settlements so not fussed about that side of things at the moment. I just want to see what else I've been missing. I love Elite the way I play it but all the same I want to explore more of the games before my time is up.
Before my terminal diagnosis, this was my story.
UPDATE: The type of Cancer I have is Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma. It's rare but this image sums up what it is and what it does and is like...
Thanks
Paul
