Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Today I am intending to get a little more engineering done on my Corsair then it will be back to the CG for a little more shooting around the outpost, though I might try the scenery at one of the other CZs instead.

I like the Corsair quite a lot but the stock paint job is bad, fortunately for my Arx balance non of the available ones in the shop appeals, the front hoop in the canopy really shouldn’t be there but is mostly ignorable, what is really irritating is the reflection behind the object compas holo display which makes it unusable at times.
Yeah, I was landing at an outpost in sunlight earlier with a white radar screen, so that was fun. Particularly with the Corsair having an odd centre of gravity with all the weight at the back. You'd think this issue would've come up in testing. It looks nice and all but it's bad design in terms of practicality.

I was also engineering in Khun and Arque because it felt like a pig when I first flew it. Maybe the drag drives experimental will improve it further (I logged out before testing). Mass manager only added a measly one Ly though.
Well, that was really unsuccessful attempt at finding phat lewtz for other players. Ho hum.
I did notice a couple on my way back to the CG from mat activity, like a Dominator suit with added melee damage, but I stolez em. I also noticed I went through the bother of making my blank G3 Artemis suit pretty even though I had one with night vision. That situation has been remedied.
 
Visiting the Empyrean Straights again - had a nice surprise when i made it to the carrier there... :]

Congrats! o7

We all need to get our CQC rank up. Must do better.
:D

I've never even attempted anything in that discipline. Like Elite V in ship combat, it's something I'll never get far in.

I haven't in flown with FAoff so I would be particularly hopeless at.

Srill flying around stations finding gear to post about. It's quite fun. I may go exploring again soon - really need to venture (much) further than I have.
 
Hi All :)

:D

... I may go exploring again soon - really need to venture (much) further than I have.

I'm presently in the left hand corner of Hawking's gap, every system I'm coming across is unclaimed and unexplored :cool:. I'm 'cherry picking' and only fully exploring those with interesting content. I did some brief mining but I haven't come across any gas giants with any really great hotspots. I've found a few dozen terrestrial water worlds and ammonia worlds but no ELW's.
I'm just exploring some landable ice planets at the moment looking for bio's (hopefully Electricae).
I'm roughly 6800 Ly's out from the bubble and intend to keep going out towards the Arcadian Stream area.

Whew!...hot this morning, I haven't slept much last night, I got up around 4am bathed in sweat, made some coffee (de-caff) and sat outside until I'd cooled down, then went back to bed. I finally 'arose' at about 10 am feeling c***, made some more coffee and booted up the game whilst it's relatively cool!🫠

Jack :)
 
Whew.

That was hairy.

Took on an eliminate-scavengers-from-a-base mission. Got there, 9 disembarked.

Took out six, another ship landed. Up to 15 now. Started collecting more scalps.

Another 2 ships landed. Whaaa.... in the end, there were 26 scavs.

Thing was, though, they weren't nearly as hard to defeat as enemies in a high GCZ.

I was trying a new loadout. A GCZ Dom suit but all weapons silenced. It did help a bit - they were all clumped in groups of about three or four which was manageable and the quiet bang-bangs kept the others at bay until I was ready. Did have to resort to a medkit a few times though and a couple of trips back to the SRV for replenishment - the base wasn't powered up.
 
Hi :)




Are they homegrown?....just wondered :)

Jack :)
Yes. Southern Germany, the variety is called "Schwäbische Weinweichsel". Usually (as the name implies) grown in vinyards, but where I live, the climate is a bit too rough for wine (except a couple of russian/siberian varieties). Rather sour, pretty much the only thing you can use them for is marmelade/jelly (what I'm going to do later this weekend) or alcohol.

I'm still in the process of engineering my suits.
I want to use the silent stuff for the Maverick.
 
Seems like we're all helpless in CQC.
I don't even know what it means exactly.
It's a separate game, like an arena type battle, around some stations/outposts things. I've only seen a couple videos of it, and never tried it. It's never been very popular, and the last few posts I've seen about it were people complaining that there's no one to fight. Empty place.

I think it's weird that we still have it on our ship panel. They should just get rid of it.

I had to look it up myself just now as I don't play this feature!

CQC = Close Quarters Combat.

Where I used to live many years ago with my parents we had a cherry tree, it used to produce loads of cherry's.
My favourite was cherry pie that my mother used to make with custard! :D

I've just discovered a 'Fonticulua Lapida - Mauve' on a planet with a 100% Nitrogen atmos. I've not seen / discovered these before in game I think. :cool:
I'm off now to another planet in the same system with a 100% Argon atmos....I'll see what I can find there.
'Fonticulua Campestris -mauve'...I've discovered this numerous times before.
Ok time to move the carrier on again. 🌟

Jack :)
