Also added lv5 reinforced shields (needed on high g worlds) and clean drive tuning.

Thanx! Nice to have a reference.

I'm still on Level 3 Re-enforced Shields (plus 4x Level 3 Heavy Duty -- and heavy -- Shield Boosters) and Level 3 Clean Drive Tuning. I plan to get to Level 5 shortly on both though. I figure I could possibly take on one 1x Level 5 Heavy Duty Shield Booster for the slight range hit, as +114-179% for 12.25-14t would be worth it.

13 disconnects (Matchmaking server) whilst winging.......Beat that.....

One for me just as Dawg got interdicted......Which left him alone........But he sorted it...I came back in to a few materials...... :)

Apart from the obvious expletives hurled at FD.....Not a bad night......

Winging with Dawg......Who kindly offered to hold my hand in my virgin(Ish) Python that has been parked.....

Sold the POS Cobra MKIV and upgraded the Python a bit......But have never really flown her......

We done a few missions...All for what "I" wanted (Cheers Dawg).......

Visited a couple of engineers.......

And I must say got one blinding roll........I now have a Python with a 25 LY range.....

I liked that.....

We also upgraded a few of the boom sticks........But that will have to wait till tomorrow to test......

Still a hell of a lot of problems when in wings though......

But my spirit is lifted.........

Along with a few cans.......

:D

Tor.....Hold on.......Tor.......Wait a bit.....TOR will you stop fecking firing.......Ok......Tor I know a therapist that can help you....... :D My Cmdr also has small feet

Something on this mountain, inside this crater, winked at me, like the reflection off a scope of a rifle.

Going to check it out.. If I don't survive, tell my wife hello.

Out of nowhere, in an uninhabited system, an imperial courier randomly spawns, scans me, and calls me a victim before trying to attack. Luckily, my conda was already facing up and boosting the frak away.

About three hours and I've got access to Palin and his corrosive resistant racks, which is all I've wanted. Now to money up for a ship that can protect any precious cargo I may acquire.

Had this happen except with System Defense Force, and was initially like crap, really. I saw a few pirates trying to get me for my leftover Mod Term's, but never any security. It was as I was collecting my last bit of fragments too. They scanned, found nothing, and left.

Been visiting engineers again.

Burnt through 50+ dice rolls until I got what I was looking for.
Seline Jean & Lei Cheung invites (via Rank 3-4 with Todd the Blaster & The Dweller), and special effects on:

Class 3 Beam - Thermal Shock
Class 2 Pulse x2 - Scramble Spectrum
Class 3 Multicannon - High Capacity Magazine & Corrosive Shells
Reinforced shields with bonuses
Higher recharge shielded distributer
Shield boosters - Heavy Duty x6
Shield Cell Bank Rapid Charge (although not used since shield strength increased)
Overcharged power plant (good roll on power, heat & integrity)

Ran out of materials for anything else :(

Now I need to do some mining as well :cry:

Pretty colours on the weapons now though :D

Boy, I thought I was doing well yesterday when I got my AspX up to about 38 LY in jump range (from about 27).

I only had enough materials for 3 RNG tries, though, so maybe I'm lucky I did as well as I did.

I took it out for a short trip (just under 200 LY), and it was pretty nice to do that in about 6 jumps. I also lucked upon an Ancient Artefact on my way back.

Now I have to decide whether to fly out to try to get my last 28% for Exploration Elite, or hang around and do a couple of CGs.

Just like Joey's career, the missus' is non-existant. It was a quote from futurama.

Frakkin' NPCs spawning in uninhabited systems, where they should be.. that coupled with route plotting fails and one plot that took me 100+ ly up and over to go back down to a star.. this trip sort-of sucks.


Flying up is not very fun compared to on-plane.
