Yeah. That would make me physically ill.

I did a dumb.
I found this cool looking ringed planet, that was landable, and decided to see what kind of views were on the surface. I headed down to a nice-looking mountainous area.
And I forgot to check the gravity. I always check the gravity, it's like a habit. But not this time.
It was a 3G planet, easy enough to land on when you're paying attention.
I was not paying attention.
My poor DBX was destroyed and boy did I feel stupid.
o7 CMDR!
It's a good look for a salvage mission type ship where you might need to use tools to cut up a derelict spaceship and have extra light to see by as you do it Something like mining, but for salvage work instead Shame we don't have this in the game.Fiddled with the livery of the Python. It appears I have this paint job which I'd overlooked:
It's a little.. pastel, so I may go back to Stygian Blue
The kit looks better from the outside than it does in where vision is a little restricted:
On another note, I made this happen:
So that's four weapons all at G5 and fully modded \o/ Think I'll call it a day on mat chasing for a while. With the stuff I have, I think it's time I sought out my first on-foot CZ. Not quite sure how they work or what I'll find but fun times are ahead. I'll do that tomorrow, I think.
EDIT
Domino Green is asking for a poke in the eye. She sounded like she'd been caning the Any Na coffee all day and she really grated on me
The cockpit view actually looks more cluttered than it seems it should be judging by the outside view.
I might have considered it for my exportation Phantom - extra lights for a natural view of anything in the dark, but it's not available for the Phantom and I don't think the cluttering of the view is for me.
Mostly dead...I lost 4 months worth of explo data...
Don't get me started quoting lines from this movie ...
They are easy, really. Especially the LOW ones. Just wander around and shoot enemies, and don't let them converge on you. If you get targeted run away. Follow your teammates. Don't worry too much about capturing nodes, just do it when you can.
Find the ammo refill and energy refill spots and memorize where they are.
I can actually do HIGH ones ok. And they do pay quite well.

That's why I got chicken and gave up early. I had discovered about 30 systems in a row and was 100 jumps from home and I had already messed up and got lucky once. My hull was at 88% so I bolted straight back to Deciat.I lost 4 months worth of explo data...
I do have shields on the DBX, for smaller mistakes
And I haven't destroyed a ship in years, so I'm not too concerned with it all. I sell to my carrier as I go, so nothing was lost other than my pride in this case
It was a good reminder not to smoke and drive
Aaaaas you wiiiiiishhhh!Mostly dead...

I do highs with G3 purchased gear so far and it is pretty good, I expect G5s would be WAY OP...like click to win OP...
In Open I hope...
I guess the door was left wide open for that one.
Look, you made me blush
I'm suddenly wondering if there are any Sicilian factions in Elite Dangerous I could try go up against....
Inconceivable!I guess the door was left wide open for that one.
Look, you made me blush
Sorry, I'll stop now...
But only if death IS on the line?
Sorry again...I'm done now...

Back from my short journey out to the Carbon Star. I decided to take a couple of missions. An assassination mission and a Data Retrieval one. Just got jumped on the assassination mission by a wing of 4 Deadlies. I didn't notice the Threat 8 on the mission brief when I accepted it. I clearly don't know what I'm doing with Oddy missions!
I died.
Now for the Retrival Mission. I expect to die!

Run away whenever the guards try to scan you...
No, don't really do that, they hate it...
I can win those wing missions solo... using a Corvette with a total shield strength including cell banks of about 14,000MJ and 125dps up to a range of about 3km. The only combat in the game that's seems to be a challenge for this ship - not tried Thargoids with it yet.
There are some threat 6 that come up that are a bit easier - one less opponent and maybe a lower rank.
I have to run away with other ships.
Well, we can't land on Earth, so running missions for a faction in Asia to increase their influence and start a land war just isn't an option....
(I can't help myself.....)
"In the '30s, Hitler: Czechoslovakia, Poland, France, Second World War... Russian front not a good idea... Hitler never played Risk when he was a kid. Cause, you know, playing Risk, you could never hold on to Asia. That Asian-Eastern European area, you could never hold it, could you? Seven extra men at the beginning of every go, but you couldn't hold it. Australasia, that was the one. Australasia. All the purples. Get everyone on Papua New Guinea and just build up and build up..." - Eddie Izzard
