I stream so downtime even while exploring is rare keeping up with chat or the small group of streamers in teamspeak talking current events, politics, games, and what not.
What does everyone do in the quiet moments?
- Thread starter Traveller_GG
- Start date
Little game for anyone waiting for the System Map to open/double scans to finish (read the gumpf underneath the window):

That'd be pretty cool - at least the first 12 times... Not sure this will ever be the kind of game where your spoiler happens though...
I have listened to all 3 LOTR audio books , I just put it on and fly , drifting in and out between game and book =D
Started playing Dragon Age Legends on my laptop. Being turn-based, you can always safely ignore it when something happens in space!
I'm a sucker for potential Earth-like, even if it's 500k Ls away (or more).
Seems to be precious few in the part of the galaxy I am in, though...
I also have string with a fluffy thing on the end so I can play with the cats. Laser pointer would be fun, except only one of the two cats goes for it.

One thing I do if I'm flying between stars in the same system is check what the ETA is when I've covered 25% of the distance. That's an accurate enough prediction that I know how long I've got to make a cup of coffee or whatever. (I may be in the minority here but I really like the fact that there are journeys that will take time. And they are optional - I don't have to go the 380,000 LS to check out the B-system if I don't feel like it... I would be very sorry to lose this sense of the sheer spaciousness of space.)
I dont know, I used to go full nerd in Silent hunter III and travel the english channel in realtime with the volume turned up, when I heard the bell ring I had to leg it upstairs to the 'deck'.

Hope you enjoyed our services
My nit has been picked. I have been grouchy since 1.3, standing down.
Nice to see someone appreciate a good show like DS9. Sisko is one of my fav captains in the trek 'verse.

To pass the time on long journeys....I shake a stick at my domineering bengal cat.

I imagine there is a cantina in the universe where the pilots of the universe get together to have the exact same conversations and debates. Some who won't fly out to the very far items on their scanners. Some who will. Some who trade holovids and books to keep them busy during their downtimes. And some who are sitting in near orbit hoping to grief the explorers when they head out on their next mission.
