My journey to Colonia is well under way now, only 15kly to go :D

Still quite a way out for sure, but it's great fun out in the black finding "stuff". Currently in the Pyraleau sector and will be in Pyraleau GH-K D9-30 very soon if anyone happens to be passing by: I'll have the kettle on in a jiffy.

Or a new barrel of Peroni. And courvoisier.

I'm looking forward to getting there but I don't want the journey to end. I think what I'll do is, once there, I'll unlock the engineers just to get the full set. Then, I think, I'll just keep going. I may not get back to the bubble for quite some time.

I wanted an extra mining laser which I have stored in Shin. I was going to initiate a transfer but it would take 16 hours :ROFLMAO: I can live without it.

A good job I've only taken ships with me I use - I could have brought them all but the rest just feel superfluous - except that I forgot my Vulture. That will cost me 9 mill to ship. I'm seriously toying with the idea of selling them off.

EDIT: I really want a bridge view of the carrier jumping: staring at the hangar bulkhead during the jump is pretty uninspiring.

I've never had to wait more than an hour for a transfer so that kinda shows the gap between our exploration levels.

It all depends on the game(s) you want to play and the screen(s) you want to use. A 1050ti, if you already have one, should be good for a lot of stuff up to 1080p, possibly with restrictions in the graphics settings. Problem is - 1050 is now two generations behind, so you'll be hard pressed to find a new one. New genration on NVidia side is 30xx, with the 3080 just being sellable since yesterday (and, from what I've read, by now only available thrugh eBay at twice the recommended price...). But AMD and Intel are also gearing up for new GPUs this autumn.
The other thing is that Odyssey is more or less just around the corner, and guessing from what we've seen so far, its GPU demands will definitely not be less than those of Horizons.
The 980ti Tyres has mentioned is a couple of steps beyond the 1050ti - at the cost of power consumption (ok, let's not talk about the power needs of the 30xx cards - the codename "Ampere" is chosen aptly). So, I wouldn't recommend to buy a 1050ti right now unless your current gear absolutely can't run your games or you got the money to spare - it may well be obsolete when Odyssey comes out.

Yeah, that power issue is a good point since I realised my PSU was only 280w and the cards I was checking on Nvidia's website a few days ago seemed to have a floor of 300. It's tricky. I've had PC's since the mid-90's but I've never been that big into upgrading so it took me a couple of hours for researching and buying something as simple as ram.

£105 is still a lot of money in my world. I'd be looking for a graphics card around the 500-600 region like Bangers. Anything more than that and you might be better off buying a new PC from scratch. Unless you have a nice custom rig you'd like to keep.

And I am looking forward to Odyssey. I don't wanna come across as a complete Debbie Downer or anything. I enjoy checking in at the weekend to see what you guys have been up to.

Just continuing my purchases of Marvel Transforners UK Issues over the weekend and I think I'll end with an extra twenty at maybe 40 quid. I'll take it.

105 GBP is a lot in most peoples world and they're floating the idea of a price hike on new titles up to 70 bps.(roughly 40%).Makes me wonder what these billionaires have found that justifies such a hike. Did someone re-calculate the weight of a pixel? I need to get new KB 'cos of the crumbs in mine.

I know. We're just poor working class people trying to distract ourselves from the everyday hum drum of our lives

Which is also why they need to fix the engineering system. I'm not spending three hours between shifts crawling around a planet in an SRV.

Found a different looking HMC - struck me it looks more WW:

I'd forgotten about the T9 I'd put on the carrier which is equipped purely for laser mining and has quite the hold for limpets and painite/trtium - happy days for the "Royale With Cheese". Although it's a much more sedate affair and I need an engineer that prolongs the life of limpets - this T9 takes an age to reach the next 'roid :D

Appearencies can be deceptive.I have had a couple of encounters with this optical illusion myself.One was a blue non-landable MCW with clouds which turned out to be metal deposits and plumes. Had to squeeze in close to see that though but the illusion was remarkable.
