Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Gawrsh.

It's been quite some time since I build a ship from scratch. I might just do one. For science.

No idea what it's role would be though as I have every discipline just about covered. Except maybe Titan 'sploding but then I've not really got into that.

Then again... no, I think I'll stick to ground combat for a while.
Your OCD with ground combat. You should make a video of you destroying the enemy with an engineered dull piece of glass. :D
 
On my trip I discovered a terrestrial water world with a terrestrial water world moon. I've not seen that combo before. I think.

Maybe do a 'What are you up to?' co-op deathmatch so we're all equally embarrassed at the same time.
I might want to choose the setup…
In fact, yes, I do...
Right I definitely want to choose the setup.

The location is inside the PWR control room of an empty base and everyone is armed with an L6 and wearing an Artemis suit.
The music is from Reservoir Dogs or the end theme from Dr Strangelove.
 
Spent some time bumbling around the Bubble, earning a few materials, and trading a lot of backstock at the much more favourable modern rates to engineer up my new Osprey Mandalay, now christened the Dragonborn. So far, she's bouncing off 60 lightyears range without an FSD booster...

The cockpit sure does feel roomy. This is bigger than my living room at home! There's also way more visibility than I can account for given the physical nose of the ship...

The default colours blend in quite well with certain stations.

Returning to Jameson, there was a degree of annoyance as Max Gibberd got his teeny tiny ship jammed in the mailslot, causing a tailback at both sides. Way to go, Max, not only did you get stuck on absolutely nothing, but you did so in the middle of the slot rather than the side marked for exit. I like you ship name though.

Having noticed that there are a lot of passenger missions with large material payouts, I'm a little inclined to run some - although the Dragonborn is not the vessel for that. Everyone seems to want to travel 1st class today, and there's only 1x size 6 compartment in here. Maybe I have an Orca lying around somewhere...

I hope you put those in #StellarScreenshots !

This reminds me of an incident from last year's holiday season...
 
Hit a very annoying problem trying to make a basic delivery.

Mission cargo definitely on board.

Mission board acknowledges that I've arrived with the cargo.

But there's no Mission Depot to hand the items in.

...I have now realised that both are to be delivered to Skeggiko Blue Electronics Corp...

Who have vanished from the system since about an hour ago when I did a previous delivery 😾

Not sure what to do here. I don't want to abandon the missions and be hit with penalties by factions I was specifically trying to get reputation with, but I suspect there's no helping it... guess I'll just log off for a bit and see if it magically works later. Bit disheartening. Hopefully the penalties won't be too severe.

We are going to play in a sand spambox? …with rrrrockets? :unsure:

Well, in the interests of keeping the rest of the galaxy safe… :D

I may do a video just for giggles. I'm not really very good though. I think I'd need juggle some setting though - the last one I did was in 4k and, when I was uploading it, it nearly killed the internet.
I’ve been wanting to shoot some on foot footage properly for some time - it’s a bit difficult when one’s preoccupied with shooting the targets… this idea of an in-game meet-up might just present the right opportunity for this :)
