Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Ah yes, I've got the t-shirt, baseball cap and a bunch of other souvenirs as well from that disappearing SRV cuz it's back on the ship thing. I think it's generally known amongst commanders as the "Black Death." It often seems to happen when the ship is a long way away, but fortunately it's possible to dismiss and recall the ship from on-foot by pressing "Q" and using the item wheel.

I was hoping FDev would fix it last time but oh no, it was mostly Thargoid this and Thargoid that...

Oh, the black death. It's a bit disconcerting when you return to the world you're on only to find youself sans SRV and sans ship. Next thing, we'll be sans carrier and that will really give me whiffy trousers.

And Madeline keeps telling me to watch my speed out there. Pfft. One of these days, my crew will recognise me.

 

[nemolomen]

Wow, such animosity. Hey, you can be my copilot, ya, when I get hungry you can make me a sandwich. When your done doing that, you can scrub my FSD.

Sure! I can do those things...after you pry my Manticore Executioner from my cold, dead fingers...

But seriously...

You seem to be making quite a few discoveries, as usual, and I'm really envious...so just stop it...

 

[CMDRQuainMarln]

My travels brought me back to the Seagul nebula again. I've posted pictures of it before, but here are a few different ones. Welcome to Hell...

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

after you pry my Manticore Executioner from my cold, dead fingers...

Your proposal is acceptable.

 

[nemolomen]

Your proposal is acceptable.

Oh, I need one of those. An Edgar suit will surely be an excellent addition to my Artemis, Dominator, Flight, Maverick suit collection...

Aye, my crew don't recognise me either - all they see is some bloke in a daft Artemis suit, dashing backwards and forwards from the ship to Vista etc.

I was hoping that when I arrive back at the carrier Blaine in my ATC would say "Hail to the Chief" or something but no, I'm just some random commander who may or may not want to dock there.

Sure, a little bit of pink dye in the hair and your good to go. I wonder what a grade 5 Edgar suit with pink hair would go for, need to start looking on the tic, or the toc, can't remember which.

They're all business, as usual.

I think the best is when you arrive at a new to you station and the STC greets you with a hearty "Welcome back, commander."

Who tacked the tick onto the tock and tucked it under the tech?


My brain is wierd, sometimes, please don't ask where that came from or what the answer may be. I have no clue.

Yep, I know that feeling (gotta make some coffee, it's way too early here).

I just had lunch...

I'm having an odd computer issue, maybe one of you knows what I might check.

My computer is set to never sleep, and never turn off the monitor. I turn off the monitor manually, and have done so for years. I don't like the automatic sleep thing.

But the last few days when I return to my machine in the morning, the screen is just black, and it says "no signal" now and then. The computer is on, but nothing I do makes the display come on. I have to reboot the machine, then all is normal.

I've tried reinstalling the graphics driver, to no avail.

Any ideas?

Anything in the Windows event log? If you look at the System events it might indicate what it's doing overnight (e.g. Sleep is now kicking in after some automated patch, or a nasty error like CPU overheating).

I've tried that but ever sense I had the landing AI engineered it scares the heck out of me when it comes whipping in and lands on top of me. When I board the ship it always asks me what I thought of it's landing prowess.

Madeline is just the caring type.
She's trying to protect you from potential entanglements with local law enforcement agencies

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

I just noticed...

pressing "Q"

Are you sure you want to press ?

Do you "sleep" the computer overnight?

 

[CMDRQuainMarln]

Oh, fellow commanders, can it be true, that I stand here on my mortal feet in a landscape of purest green?

I've never seen green on anything other than a gas giant before, and had to investigate. And then a quote from the greatest ever comedy series came to mind...

Windows updates? Check BIOS settings too.

I set my computer (Windows 10) the same as yours: never sleep and never turn the monitor off. Its been like that for over 2 years.

A few months ago, some Windows Update went and changed my settings. How #^@%$ helpful of it!

I had to change them back and the problem went away. This may work for you. You may also need to check the "Control Panel" "Power Options" "Change advanced power settings" for more settings too...
