So, h e l l o.
I've been in Mobius for a few months now, and have recently noticed a big increase in fellow players on-line - which is great to see - and all I've met have been great for a quick chat, so thanks to all of you for making this the premier Elite experience!
...and to all whose messages I've missed... sorry... I get pretty focussed sometimes, and don't pay nearly enough attention to my comms bar...
Currently, I am in 'Trundle' (my very heavily upgraded T6) hauling rares in and around both Diso and 39 Tauri. I've been interdicted a few times by pesky NPCs, and I have dealt with such rudeness by means of the 'brave Sir Robin' manoeuvre, so, boost-boost-boost-and-away-to-supercruise.
Plans - I have 20Mcr in the bank, so I may upgrade* to an Asp soon... or I may get myself a Vulture and go RES-farming... or I could just wait for the Diamondback to arrive... mmm... or maybe I'll go deep-space in Trundle... ...damn this game...
* I keep my favourite/previous ships, mostly as a form of super-insurance, and partly out of nostalgia....
My garage currently contains extensively upgraded Cobra and Viper... oh and my freEagle... no idea why I kept that to be honest.I use EdTracker - yes it looks stupid on my head - but it makes Ed great, I use it with OpenTrack, so that I get roll as well as pitch and yaw. If you've not tried it I can really recommend it. If you're new to it, here's my Elite configuration (for OpenTrack), as a starter to get you going: http://www.mediafire.com/view/v990rxfx5ifqdyd/EliteD.ini
I also have a cheap Thrustmaster HOTAS, so that I can scuff station entrances with precision and ease.
My most recent upgrade was a SoundBlaster Z soundcard and, after on-board sound, this is a revelation - the soundscape has gone from excellent to a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Worth every penny, would buy one again in the blink of an eye... the only downside is that the amount of bass (as well as all that additional detail), when combined with decent headphones, makes headphone wearing a bit tiresome now.
Over and out!
