Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[Phongsalt]

Crossed from Empyrion Straits to Arcadian Streams and laid up for the night in this little gem.
3 waterworlds, one terraformable , one handy landable with access to jumponium. Adjacent hmc's.
Twin suns,(Main F+K type). NO RINGS.
Hard neutron jumping has caused PP loss of 9%.
Otherwise,apart from the inevitable degradation to the afmu itself, all systems nominal.
I'm looking forward to a quiet evening of systems exploration followed by cocoa.
I give you a toast.
'To Absent Friends.'

To absinthe friends!

Never had absinthe. I'd imagine it's quite... rocket fuel. Probably use it instead of tritium.

I've never tried absinthe either, and I definitely won't bother after that last Phong post.

'Taking enemy fire Commander, what are your orders?!'
'Hmm, Alora, I think we need to have a little chat about your CV and references... '

Smacks of Thargoids spiking your absinthe with psilocybin. Or something else... nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Final word for the weekend. I love WeComeInPeace's handle. It's so treacherous and deceiving. I wish I'd have thought of that.

I might check in during the week if I need help outfitting my T6.

Nonsense, absinthe merely makes the fart grow stonger. And it tastes of sprouts.(allegedly.)Real men drink janx.

Allegedly it doesn't have the kick in the brain cells that it used to have before they took the wormwood out of it.

There is a world of difference between absinthe and mescal, so i am told.
One tastes like this..

whilst the other has more of a ..
.

flavour...allegedly.
Can't think of any reason for Thargoids to spike my drink with viagra. Even the most myopic of xenos wouldn't mistake me for Relspi unless she was dating their equivalent of Mr. Magoo

I'm getting closer to the bubble -- only 5,000 LY out now. I think I can smell civilization, just a little. I've made lots of first discoveries, but nothing very special lately.

Meanwhile, I keep forgetting how big the Krait MKII actually is. This view of the cockpit surprised me

You should go into real estate marketing. Your picture reminds me of these empty 3 m² kitchen nooks that nevertheless look like they'd be a close fit for Versailles.

Where's the quinentian still coffee pot?

 

[Speedcuffs]

Well, since the latest CG kicked off, I've made about 800 million.
Half from Combat bonds and CZ massacre missions, half from stacking Pirate Lord and pirate massacre missions in the systems next to the CG.
Which is easier?
The pirate stuff by far, although 500k for chasing off a Capital ship is nice.*
Very entertaining when the pirates spawn together and start at each other.

*I'm not convinced I'm always getting paid for these.

Edit: Oh yeh, was in the top ten for three days, then in and out. Which I found a bit surprising, I guess the 'hardcore' grinders weren't interested.

Also, Tyres's's's avatar is still lady pants?

I am reticent to inform you that it is a picture of a feline animal. (Note to self, don't be a smart-bottom in future. )

Best part of 1000LY zipping about in Jack Kerouac (is it sacrilege to prefer the DBX to the old trusty Krait MKII which took me out 5000LY?!) for Sensor Fragments at HIP 17403 (which was great fun, and quite creeped me out). First time hanging with a (dead) ‘goid. Gawd knows what I’ll be like with the real thing.

Have zipped back to base in Cubeo, and might do one more week with Aisling for a couple more Prismatics whilst finally popping over to see Prof Palin (tho I’m short a few Pharmaceutical Isolators to roll some G5 drives that my Cutter desperately needs - grrr...)

Canopy on Python got smashed, with the oxygen timer counting down to zero, I noticed that the orange target circle used to navigating to landmarks is missing (where the missing glass is), if I pitch/yaw the ship sideways the orange circle re-appears where the glass at the side is still in place. Supercruised as fast as I could back to Ohm City, manually adjusting by pitching the ship to see that I am on course.

Autodock took over when timer was about 24 seconds, should be enough time I thought but the timer was reading under 6 seconds as I approached the advertisements at the dock opening. Rammed the throttle to override autodock and hit the boost, went in half-sideways and found out that once you enter the opening, atmosphere is restored to the ship (no need to park). Python cant brake for crap and I slammed into the other end of the station but no warning message or fine came (they dont care about speeding ships bashing the interior of their stations huh?). Timer says 0 seconds. So excited I forgot to take a screenshot.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Very much a "skin of the teeth" moment there!
