Thank you. :)

Lol, I can assure you the first thing explorers do after downloading their data is arm up and go and kill something.

I don't know about you ... but after maybe half a day of being back in inhabited space I start planning my next trip to the black. I can see this becoming a regular cycle... a couple of weeks in the black, a couple of days back for some R&R then back to the black. I'd actually like to have a second save so I can have one explorer and one fighter and not have to traipse back & forth all the time.

Another 1500ly to home and after the bathroom break, a hamburger, and a shower, that's exactly what I'm going to do!!! Hoping to get some pew pew on this evening (provided the shiny objects don't slow me down that last 1500ly).


I too noticed that this area seems unusually civilized. I just thought it was because all explorers lose basic communication skills while out in the black and have to start from scratch again.

Well, we do forget about the chat screen. My chat screen popped up a week ago, and I about wet my pants, as I was far out in the black, and I thought someone was in the sector and ready to send me home Sag A*-style. Then I realized I was in Solo. It took me a couple of minutes to remember how to chat back.

Goofball nerd, I am!!

But yes, this sub-forum is a nice break from the griping in the main forums. Even when you post the most boring system, such as this.... somebody's gonna appreciate it

Actually...I've never left a station with a ship outfitted with weapons. They're the first things to go when I buy a ship, never to be seen again. The weapons, that is. Presumably I'll return to inhabited space again...eventually.
 
Where's that tavern thread? I think I need to introduce some goods to the menu...

Neutron Cake - Looks small but with it's incredibly large mass, it will be satisfyingly filling.
Black Hole Beer - You'll have trouble escaping this seemingly harmless brew.
Carbon Coffee Ice Cream - Carefully roasted by a handful of select stars in zero gravity, this creamy desert will cater to your inner explorer.
Almond Asteroid Clusters - Taking advantage of small-scale terraforming methods, space-farmers have discovered a way to create orbital farming plots where they can grow their goods in low-gravity with some interesting effects. The satisfying crunch of these clusters sounds oddly like a ship collision with an asteroid...
Ammonia Cookies - Okay really these are for out-of-towners. Don't even ask.

It is rather.... serene here isn't it?

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.

I feel the black reaching out
I hear its song without a doubt
I still hear and I still see
That you can't take the sky from me.


Did I just post our theme song?


Actually I prefer we have something no one used before. Plenty of people seem to like this :D

The ship is untried and you say she won't fly,
The chances are good she will not reach the sky,
But she has to be tested for space is the prize,
If you think none will take her just look in my eyes.


(chorus)
So show me the gantry, give me the ship,
Give me the fuel and I'll go on that trip.
Now if I return you can say I was bold,
But my place is in space as the heavens unfold.


I know I may die, that I may not return,
But just strap me in and I'm ready to burn,
My life I will pledge if my life be the fare,
For I need the long dark and the stars past the air.


(chorus)


If I live I'll be glad but that's not why I go,
For my heart is afire with the rocket's red glow;
My body knows grief although I have not been
To my home in the sky with the worlds never seen.


(chorus)


And if I should die in a bright burning flare,
Just take what you find and throw it in the air.
Don't grieve for my death, don't ask why for ten years,
Just build one more ship and ask for volunteers.


So show us the gantry, give us the ship,
Give us the fuel and we'll go on that trip.
Now if we return you can say we were bold,
But our place is in space as the heavens unfold.

I'm quite happy here, as well.

Our little corner of the site seems far more to my tastes than some of the others. To each their own, though.

I'll happily stay here.
