Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Below about 2g there is nothing much to worry about, things can get exciting above 2g as accelerating in the direction the ship is trying to fall can lead to some very rough landings.

The docking computer can be very good at keeping things in control in that situation even in a heavy underpowered ship, having Flight Assist on a hold button to turn off can work if you just tap the button to let the ship start to fall.
My fears had nothing to do with gravity, to be honest.
What scared me the most was that timer ticking down.

I am currently refueling the carrier and wallowing in the pure excitement of ferrying tritium back and forth.

To add spice to the experience, I have been shot at (with an empty hold) in the no-fire zone, and had the ADC smash me into the station fuselage on exit. Which is nice.

Is the cargo transfer working at least? Having to relog each time one’s back at the carrier is nervewracking…^
 
I'm sitting here once again, wishing they would change the Limpets to the "ammo" category.

It is kinda annoying to travel to another station via APEX shuttle and have to shuttle back to where you came from because you forgot to sell those 3 Limpets in the cargo hold of your currently parked ship. Before you ask - it was cheaper to shuttle back than calling the ship over - completely setting aside that I didn't want nor needed that ship over there.

In the last sale I bought the Hologram Alphabet primarily to put "LIMPETS!" on the dashboard of the ships that use them. As a reminder both to buy and sell.

Just a ways to go to give one to each bacterium for Christmas!

Ha ha gonna frame you, y'all are a lot of flagella flapping microorganisms
 
I got myself an alt, just like the grown-ups.

GeforceNow supports Epic & Steam, I'd been using Steam to date so I bought a new copy of the game in the current Epic sale, and linked it to a new Frontier email/account. I can choose which launcher I want to use when I fire up the game in GFN, so each automatically takes me to a different commander without further typing. I know I can type in different Frontier accounts as part of the login, but I have a sofa-based DS4 controller/Shield TV setup so typing usernames/passwords is not a slick process...

Anyhoo, in addition to whatever it is I usually do I can now use my alter ego to secretly wreak havoc or head out deep into the black, as much as an E-rated Sidewinder will let me.

Quick question if I may...
What does the thread creator say?
What do you commanders use these days for checking commodity prices? Inara?

I have a few platinum I need to get shot of and it's been a goodly while since I did any trading.
If I used anything it would be Inara after the demise of EDDB, however I rarely traded seriously enough, outside of a CG, to bother as long as I wasn't making a noticeable loss I was fine.

Past tense because out here there is nowhere to trade with.

Regrettably my update is failing a crc check somewhere, hopefully I will get back in tomorrow.
After some back and forth with the superb support team, all delays down to myself, tomorrow finally arrived today.

The game is updated I can get in fine and all I have lost is a couple of small Arx handouts.

However I have a touch of FOMO as I am in the Galactic Core region and the Xmas event is out of reach, now I could suicide my way back but getting back all the way to my carrier would be a lot of hassle.

Nice!

What was causing the problem? Just curious.
