Wanders back in .......

You do have a curious pov. I keep a bunch of ships like the DBX for example. It doesn't get used often, but fits a couple of niche things (local taxi as it's cheap to transfer, bumpy Guardian sites) very well!
As for the FDL and mamba... I don't like either of them. I do own an FDL but it's been flown like twice! The mamba I just don't like. Period. I'm just not a combat (pvp) pilot. I'll do some pew pew in my Corvette but only PvE.

Interesting / curious sig you have too. Almost bizarre. I really don't know what to make of it.

Anyway, as long as you are having fun! Enjoy being back!
Well I certainly have been called a lot worse here lol

I currently have a small fleet of 15 ships (which may get smaller soon). I just can't see the need to have duplicates, I guess because I tend to fully engineer them so to my way of thinking that would be a silly thing to do . Also I like having ships set to tasks that are kind of in line with the lore of the game. For example, one of the ships I have set up for long distance travel (as against exploration, to me they are different things) is my Dolphin. Again, with a little role play I tend to use that when I am envisaging my character wanting to make a good impression somewhere, like arriving to buy a new ship or something. Silly I know but it does keep me amused. Regarding the Mamba the reason I love the ship is simply due to the way it looks, the way it handles and the hardpoint placements - it just suits my style of flying.

The two lines in my signature block do have a story. The first line about the KWS is because way back when (before my break) there was a bunch of very vocal Commanders here who were part of a faction and proudly proclaimed that they will shoot on sight anyone who dares come into their piece of space with a KWS fitted because that automatically meant the Commander was up to no good. I had not heard of a more childish and immature reason for ganking so I took them to task over it, hence the line in the sig block. Unfortunately reading the current threads I feel I should amend that to include fitment of an ADC and flying without shields too ..... :(

The last line was due to some here sprouting the gospel of certain content providers/influences, basically minions begging the rest of us to view certain clips so their idol can get more hits. Also I have been accused of being a paid employee of FD because I said nice things about the game - hmm never did get that cheque for services rendered.

Rest assured, I will probably amend the sig block now I am back and a lot err calmer :D

LoL 😂 thanks for the back story! That makes a lot more sense now! 😊

Btw, recently this week I've been trading in a T9 without Shields and using a ADC... In my PG I should add! More specifically, from my FC to the local station and back, so only very short hops... The DC is because I'm flying without shields and it just simplifies the docking a bit. That said, the DC is crap at flying an unshielded large ship like a T9 or Cutter. It can't get into the slot in a T9 without clipping the bottom of the ship (it flys a tad too low) but it can get out of the station ok (very odd that...) and it can't handle the mass of the Cutter getting out of the barrel either. I've not tried a T10 but I imagine it would have the same issues. Anyway, half the time I end up flying it in and out of the dock anyway because of the pants DC. It's at such times that I have to remember that this is after they 'fixed' the DC...
🤔
If I was in Open I'm sure I'd be blown up on sight lol!

Still, I've been making 500mil a day doing 788t shipments in the mean time...

Anyone wanting the back story to my signature needs to watch Firefly, then Serenity (then cry), then watch me "fly".

I couldn't agree more... Apart from Couriers, can't have too many of them (having 4 & 3 on my 2 main accounts!) 🤪

I remember those days... Trying to blow myself up as I was hunting in the Nav Beacon with a KWS...

Wow! You really went to town there... I can almost see the tears of the few coursing down their cherub-like faces :ROFLMAO:

Footnote: The T-10 still has 'issues' with the DC, but as the hull can be made quite chunky it just shrugs it off...
 
My blocked list was full so I had to delete a few names and For the love of GOD! you come back 2 days later....

2021 you're like tots so much worse than that 2020.


:poop: Mr Happy Poopoo is pleased to see you though.
