Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Just got one of those human tech pre-engineered class 5 FSD !
(And a left wrist strain, but still able to move the hotas throttle and lift my tea mug, so everything's fine I guess)

With that increase in range and a pair of brand new Scorpion SRVs inside the bilge, time to fly the AspX around those Guardian locations reported in the Codex.

Hopefully, I'd be back with the stuff needed for a FSD booster. Then, I'd strip the AspX to all the weight she doesn't need and finally leave the damn bubble and their political madness for a while. Dav's Hope stories were a bitter taste of them greedy corporates, and Omnipol agents a company I've had suffered enough.

But for now, here's the region I'm heading. Wish me good luck. O7

And if something bad happens there, I demise all the copyrights on my exclusive prison songs records to the pirate Bangermsuk, may he introduce the tunes on every Federation terminals so they can't sleep well the night before he's going to raid them all in my memory!
oh a target on the map....:) i;m on my way too.....Honest i not following you
 
Spin up FC drive. Jump. Wait for cooldown. Spin up FC drive... the road home is a long one. Ish.

🎼 "Country roads, take me home..."🎵

I would play that in C# on my guitar but I have no idea what C# sounds like, where on any instrument it is or, indeed, what a "flat" note actually is. In fact, I don't even have a guitar.
Ask black jack about C#, if you ask me i give you a book instead of a note on c# :)
 
That's strange because I got caught in a gravity well of something I couldn't see (in-between two galactic arms), no stars to create a lensing effect. It dumped me out of supercruise and when I started it back up, I got the blue escape vector in front of me. There was nothing on the HUD for 10 seconds, then something popped up but I left in a hurry, just wanted to leave, now! :confused:
That could have been Raxxla.
 
I sing that song now and then as part of my Friday livestream thingy I do.

It was my Grandma's favorite song, and I used to sing it to her from time to time, if I had my guitar with me.

She's long gone now, but I still love that song myself.

Where do you stream - YT or Twitch - and what's your name there? :]

...i'm on a sudden impulse exobio trip, a mere 608LY from Sol - but I have found reasonably fresh Brain Trees, in red & green :geek:

Damn! I figure you got used to usual encounters like the game provides, and all of a sudden something random like that happens, kind of scary!

I mean, stars themselves gigantic plasma balls are not something you want to get too close, and those neutron stars and white dwarf emitting huge blasts, but at least they are pretty obvious to see. So those very small almost invisible bodies yet about three times our sun mass have that surprise effect sometimes pretty incomfortable: first time I've visited one with my firend, far away from the main system star, it was fun and all, but then we left and navigated a bit around other bodies, and when coming back to the main star, I almost forgot about the BH I believed being behind me.
So this one not highlighted by my hud, accelerating more and more in SC, and then all of a sudden you start te see on your left stars circling and moving like hell, wondering if those are some planets or whatnot, just to realise you were passing by the BH again, that gave me the creeps.
We must have some sort of instinct stronger than rational thinking when approaching something like that.

And then, you pay attention to the dramatic soundtrack your ship plays around 'em in ED, like this very ancient body out of the newtonian comfort zone starts to exert its fascination on you, whispering "Come closer, child, closer...". That's Lovecraft stuff tricking your mind, and I'm pretty sure most humans would kind of freak out around certain objects in space because of them being so incommensurable for our poor salad hunters brains...

Technically C# would be C sharp not C flat, though depending on conventions it could also be regarded as a D flat (Db).

I hope I've manage to explain things well.. :)
 
Well I got bored of missions pretty fast in Colonia. Now to meet a few engineers and soon set out on some exploration and gardening voyages. I bought a new hauler. I can put the Type-12 Mobile Home out to graze a spell. Well I was going to take the Orca, but, it just wasn't smaller enough to get me that cozy feeling of a tin can. Smaller? Hauler!

Mine's Amélie, and I'm pretty sure he it's a chip pretending being a woman.

I checked my chips too and also pretending so!

But actually I have my Vultures set to Spanish. And my Saud Krugers set to French (thinking I may try Italian). My Haulers are German. And my Sidewinder and Type 10 are comforting ol' Leo

"But technically C flat is a B!" :p

I've heard some WD-40 could help...
Suit engineer:
"Hey CMDR, you have all the precious required mats so I can improve both speed and quietness of your suit! Yeah, i know, and it's a lot of money too, but that's some top gun engineering here, no offense but I can't explain. Just... leave it here and have a drink somewhere, you see, we engineers are having our secret skills, so... "

Our brave CMDR leaves the workshop.
Yaren Bond opens her toolbox, takes her WD40 spray, and starts to rub the rusty Dom suit:
"Here we are, two nice upgrades!"
