THE NEW STATUS SYMBOL

Hello folks. I am Cmdr Capricos in game as well. Feel free to friend me. I'm in the Mobius PVE group.
I have been playing since launch. Pre-ordered. I'm Triple Elite (cqc not my thing). Not the only pilot where I'm at: Fleet is as big as you want; Cash is plentiful; Engineering done; Looking for things to do.

After some discussion with folks I've bumped into, I've determined, and need some help establishing, the Type-9 Space Slug as the new status symbol.
Flying around in a T-9 is saying... you just don't care anymore. There's nothing left. I'm flying a T-9... wassup?
For those working you're way up... don't buy a T-9. Trust me. Save up for the Anaconda if you're at that point.
But... if you're like more and more people these days... the Type-9 just says... Because I can. Pimp it out. Exploraslug. Combat Slug. Mining Slug. Spend $3 and get an obnoxious paint job.
Type-9... Status Symbol of the ELITE.

P.S. Please stop with this: o7. Unless you're saluting yourself in the mirror, that is a lefthanded salute. We can come up with a better "emoji" type greeting.

Hmm, it's not cutter pricy.

I guess you could get a class 8 scoop if you would like.
Maybe something like this.

That's looks me saluting with my right hand from my perspective.

Yes. If you were saluting yourself in the mirror. You don't salute someone facing away from them. You salute them facing them. And, if you were facing me as this symbol, o7... that would be your left hand.

Love the attitude. It's like the Beluga for the Fuel Rats :D

or as if looking at the back of the saluter. For me, it is too military. As a Rat, I don't take orders* kindly, so ... ^,^/ (thanks Mouse for the idea)

*) Despite Dispatch's, but that is another matter altogether.

PS Okay, as a non-military salute, left-handed might be ... just ... a bit ... probably ... acceptable though :evil:

I stopped saluting, now I just brace up "oIo" Toecaps either side and me smartly in the middle like a good Tom :)
