The club for the dudes & dudettes who don't care about the aliens. (Ring the bell here if you RP someone distanced from current events!)

So today, we saw the first confirmation of a fully space-faring race outside humanity for centuries.

This has clearly captured the imagination of hundreds.

But me... I'm flying this space to scrape a living. I live on the edge, running drugs to places both legit and not. Running it through swathes of Fed' space, getting it to my customers around the galaxy.

I ain't got time to worry about some aliens, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who's more concerned about their own career.

This is a message to all of you who mine, smuggle and explore for your own benefit. All of those who put their credit balance first.

Aliens may be on their way, encroaching upon Human space. But if you're like me, you're not going to fear these dudes! You're gonna' keep doing your job, keep surviving, keep on livin'!

Aliens... They're not going to change me. My way to stand up against them, is to keep on doing what I do best.

Fly safe fellow space cowboys. o7

I said recently in my Commander's roleplay thread that I'd "rather leave well enough alone" largely due to the my character's role of a Smuggler who's struggling to say alive among the galaxy's more shady pilots. I'm far more concerned with trying not to get doubled crossed or shot at while trying to pay for repairs on my Cobra MK III. No time to worry about an alien presence that isn't chasing me when I'm worried about cops scanning me and getting paid without a gunfight breaking out with a contact.

So yes, I'm more or less in to join the club (until they interdict you after every second jump cause FD are gonna have these thing everywhere :p )

Disclaimer: I'm RP'ing here!

I'll believe there are aliens when I see 'um. There have been countless religions and crazy people prophesying that "Winter is Coming" and aliens abducted my cows! In the meantime, there's work to be done and profits to me made, ain't got time for rumors and fever dreams.

Yeah. Sorry. Call me skeptical but some fuzzy pictures of something that crashed? Meh. You'll be asking me to believe in Space Bigfoot next.

OP dude, then you'll need to upgrade the thrusters on your Cobra III.

With a very good Grade 5, your normal speed would be 400 and boost almost 600.

RP on:
"Be there aliens or be there not,
the conflict in the Pleiades currently escalates to an arms race.
I'll use that distraction to further my goals, after that?
Hmm... i guess it is time some fine fellows took their time
and intervened in both trying to murder each other,
so we won't be overrun if there are really aliens..."

So I hear one guy found the aliens. He will probably get a page or two in this famous author's book everybody seems excited about.

The others are all gathered around *looking*. Frankly, not too thrilling hay.

I'm on my way to Jaques, bringing my last ship there. After that trip, I'll see if there is anything for me to actually *do* with this aliens story. But if all there is to it is watching, I'll pass. I have far better holo-movies in my ship library actually.

I dare say sir, you may need a larger caliber.

How do you reconcile CGs that give you millions for relatively safe trading with your rp about being a drifter who has to scrape for living in his cushy Cutter, who probably has highest mil. rank in most parts of civilized spaces.

FDev has turned everyone single one of us into damn war hero, hundreds and thousands of confirmed kills, millions in our belt, glitter of pulsars and pull of black holes in our eyes. We are damn legends.
Except we live in universe, where you can teleport space ships around and your crew teleports right after you.

Some our richer than others, some fly FDLs some Vultures, most fly Condas and other large ships. Never the less, we are all super well of.

Except, we have nothing to do with our money. We cannot own anything tangible and real. Hell, even our beloved ships are 3d printed and instantly reproduced including engineering stuff.
We cannot buy a have built damn ramp on a planet to have more fun driving around in our buggies.

How's about the Aliens and the NPC just take care of each other and interdict the s out of each other.

Leave me alone on my engineer grindfest. :D

Yeah I see your point: I've seen the pictures and it looks like a poor copy of the work of HR Giger - a 20th Century artist whose work appeared in a lot of novels, films and games of the time.

If they were really aliens, I doubt that they'd look so contrived, unoriginal and 'man made'.

I call hoax. [alien]

Nah, it's all a media hoax folks - nothing to see really. Just the news outlets getting themselves into a media spin trying to drum up numbers. Thargoids are fairy tales told to frighten children. I know I fear that boozed up Type 9 driver in a docking slot more than I fear some space goblins or whatever old timers tell the young'uns in bars to get free drinks.

Now if you ask me, the talking frogs and cats is where it's at - I got good proof they were about - here I got this frog scarf see from GalCop days - totally legit, no way a fake, look you can see a blood stain here. Defo frog blood that. But they ain't aliens, naww. They used to be one of us. I wanna find me a talking frog or cat and share a drink one day, once I find em out in the black. They out there, ya know, I know it. Bet the cats are something at cards... better try not to get too wasted once I find em.
