Funny to see that after FD has given us a 10au² driveable surface and a buggy to play with.

The entire player base turns out to be exclusively made up of 12 year old kids with a dirt field and motorcross bikes :D

Kind of get back a little of my belief in the human species again. Just a smidge of course but still.

Went to nav point looking for criminals for a mission when some "Paul McEwan" decided to do a suicide by ramming me and of course made me a wanted man. Logical. ;)
Anyway, now on my way to a neighbouring system to get a black sidewinder for the suicide mission of my own.
I play on PC, in the Mobius PVE Eurasia group.

Quite right Tor.. :x I'm appalled at the behaviour of certain CMDR's ;) acting their shoe size, and not their age.. :lol:
I will of course take it upon myself to council said CMDR's.. :D

Tor, We'll probably be at Serl again tonight..can you come and play.. *ahem* err, I mean, help us with our experimentation and mapping on the handling and response values of the Surface Recon. Vehicle.? ;)

First off, in Euro sizes, I am only a couple years older than my shoe size. That being said, its nice to have some fun doing nothing that cost any credits, had anything above a zero on the stress meter, and where everyone got to have a chuckle at others expense where there was no harm done.

When you think about what people have come up with in this game given the limitations, its amazing.

Elite Racers for example. Great fun to watch and something that I don't think FD expected. Buggeh racing coming soon. There is even a Fight Night involving sidewinders.

Now that we are on the surface, you can imagine more. How about a long jump competition? Stunt show? Smash up Derbies in Buggehs.

Not every day has to be about credits, pew pew, or seeing whats over there...

I'm spending my time working out how to 'handle' the changes with 1.5 wrt Combat, and working with PowerGrid to try to perfect a few devious macros - such as a 'request landing clearance' button.

Once that's sorted, I suppose it'll be back to the CNB/CZs in Asphodel.

In Euro or GB sizes, I am older than my waist size...

In need of a beer, the DC just cost me 11 million credits when it decided to slam me into a surface port, and a 400 cr fine as well.

Tried one of the multi-part missions. Had to take a message to a planet base (a prison oow!), then a package from there to a star port, then another message from that star port to a second star port, finally returning to the start to pick up my reward. Quite a bit of time for not a lot of reward, but interesting to follow.

Also went to my first ice world - weeeeeeeeeee!
