We got a stickie this time !!!!!
This is indeed, a very special day in my house
Edit;
Thought I'd add this for fun from the old thread.

(Robert, you need to post more often
lol)
<Joke>
Can I get a mod to delete this please, its blatant naming & shaming, Jockey79 (note the seriousness of me using your full name here!, if I was any more annoyed about this I might laugh, ahem, puts on stern voice).
"What did I say about posting facts, you really need to slow down, I realise its your birthday and you might be a bit hyper today, but we have over 9k posts left, there are plenty for everyone (666 pages if you don't mess this one up too!)

Distance, I will rep the next post of yours I see (and a few other people too), your last few posts in the previous thread (which was closed when I read them) deserve that, I have said before I agree with a lot of what you say, some things not, but quite a lot.
I do think (and hope) that the crime update will get around to enforcing proper law responses in "safer" systems, whilst rewarding piracy better (AI too not just pvp) and ensuring they have a safe home in the Anarchys, it will make ED more like Elite, I would be astounded if they left that out (unless they did too in later iterations, I didn't play them, it bought one of them but couldn't get the hang of it, plus I had a full time job then
).
One thing you said:
"When I kill a trader I'm actually the exact opposite. I'm not sitting here cackling with maniacal laughter I'm more disappointed because the Trader couldn't do basic math and I have to pay for my rail ammo"
I say:
Fair play to you sir, in my opinion you are a proper pirate, I will use "when" rather than "if" I come back in to open, well for some of my time at least, as I think I will one day, its how I played from PB to gamma. I took my type 6 into open a while back to get pirated, I found a good RP pirate pretty quick, well actually he found me to be fair ;o), I just traded as normal (Eravate I think or close), he worked for his money (4 tons of crop harvesters IIRC).
I will watch the video again to remind myself of his name (plus it makes me smile & hope I am more competent next time), if I see him again I would add him to my friends list, I would likely do the same with you, Hell I would even take a small detour to your system to give you a chance to rob me if I saw you were on line, just to say hi, I might even have a fight with you occasionally if I think I stand a chance or even for giggles, I am sure I will lose & you would recover your ammo cost.
I guess that makes me a bit weird, I am having fun in solo / groups (not grinding a big ship to troll open, I have an Asp, Vulture & 30 mill CR) and will at some point I am sure risk something in open playing a trader looking to meet a pirate now and again (when I want to). I could do it right now, buy a cobra or type 6 and go for it but I am waiting for CMDR Thrust from Bradford to update me on 1.7, he did say the "wheatons law" patch was having an effect but it was too early to tell.
Fly safe Cmdr's
