Set the throttle to 0% after you enable SCA. If there's something in the way it will stop and you can take over manually when you get back to the cockpit.I've had a bad day for crashing into planets. I'm multi tasking while exploring using supercruise assist intending to orbit the next planet I want to DSS until ready. Supercruise assist is crashing me into planet exclusions zones about 30% of the time

I still have almost 800 Mb of maps, my favorits were anything freeztag, loved playing freeztag. Have you tried setting up a virtual computer, maybe Windows 2000 or XP?I loved that too! In fact I still have it but couldn't get it to run on my current PC. I may have to look into it again now it's been mentioned
I miss Orb...
It is the Duke. If you check the newsreel on the bottom of the footage, you'll find his name in there.
But I wouldn't be surprised to find guys looking like him in other games, as he is such a stereotype. I know at least one quite famous beat 'em up that has a char in it's ranks that could be the Duke's older brother.

Almost broke my finger on the oul’ like button there, Helmut.
Thinking about it, I might want to revise this statement. I never felt like I was grinding, because I had fun doing what I did. Another person might consider running... I don't know how many, maybe a few hundred? of missions as "grind". But I genuinely had fun and just enjoyed progressing and, by the end, "steamrolling" over settlements
.As life tends to repeat itself, there is a certain amount of acceptance, as long as it is a similar mission, but not 100% the same.Thinking about it, I might want to revise this statement.

I tend to get distracted sometimes, like, a mission takes me to a system that I haven't been before and its planets are marked "unexplored", I might, if the mission and real life time restraints allow me to, go on and FSS the system before I complete the mission. If I should stumble across some HGEs, it is very likely that I collect those, also.

I get what you mean. I try to spread my activities over multiple settlements instead of "farming" one settlement over and over. That way it isn't exactly the same every time. Although there are limited variants of the layouts and I have been to all of them by now, I still have to familiarize myself with the settlement when I arrive. I have to see how the personnel is distributed, spot out their patterns, in case of covert or non-violent missions plan my way to my target. And then there is still the element of surprise when something goes wrong and I have to go loud, or in case of poweron missions, waves of scavengers arrive or are already there when I arrive and I have to improvise. Or at the very least I have to decide how I want to proceed - stealth or go loud, go guns blazing or pick them off one by one from the roof tops. There is enough variety that it keeps me entertained for hours.
I dunno, it's fun. I enjoy doing it. At the end nearly always is the task of looting the place, which can get repetitive, but I actually don't mind that either. What I mind most is waiting for the power center to shut down

It's a strange thing to me. I hate grind. Seriously. But I did find the grind for on-foot stuff weirdly rewarding. That's not to say the whole thing doesn't need an overhaul - it does - but it could also do with a (almost) a redo from scratch.Thinking about it, I might want to revise this statement.

CMDRs all over have come up with great ideas so I really feel FDev ought to at least implement some.
But hey, who am I? Perhaps most of it would be impossible due to things like code. Which I have very little knowledge of.
However, I do know that, given money and resource, great things can be achieved. I've seen it done and done well when I was at work.
As of now, I have all small size ships (except the Cobra MK IV, for obvious reasons) and eight of the medium sized ones...I only have three ships, Anaconda, Krait Mk II, and my Vulture I went to Colonia in (max jump range 12 Ly). So there, take that.
Going to Colonia in that ship makes my frequent traversing the bubble with no scoop and a small fuel tank look like an easy task, though...

Yep, let’s hope they’ve gotten their breath back - that’s what the past half a year or so seems to have been about, ie: the whole war, which essentially uses a lot of existing assets quite resourcefully to deliver something new in terms of narrative and that keeps quite a lot of combat-oriented players busy… hopefully by now there’s the energy, time and resources to build on this and deliver the next something really new

I considered getting the Prismatic Shield, but everything I read about it said it wasn't worth it - that even though they're tough, you basically have to dock to recharge them because even with engineering it can take upwards of 5 to 10 minutes for them to recharge to 100%.
Never had myself tbh, but a squadmate had them on his Cutter… they just never broke, even over an entire evening of PVE pirate massacres ;]
I also remember playing a bit of that - in fact it was the first time i played a multiplayer game on a “LAN”, when a friend of mine hooked up two of those old candy-colour bubble iMacs with a crossover cable… i think we played with those “hockey puck” mice even
I have codex's falling out of the sky again, I still can't get those stunning bonuses out of my mind.
I guess I've been away from civilization far too long, I found this on that other site.
