Your "senior" moment(s)?

[GlobusDiablo]

Lately I find that I nod off while in SC. I blame the hypnotic sounds you hear while going from A to B. Nothing to do with being old and needing to nap every five minutes.

I agree.

While we're on the subject of sound, somekind of "WAKE UP!" sound would be nice when we reach safe disengage range? It takes ages to turn a T9 around...

....some say a shock is as good as a holiday. i think whoever says that needs to be stabbed with a pencil.

Ouch..

I even have my own slippers at the in-laws house.

Seriously?
Everyone to their own but...
well... I hope You have played well Your game with your in-laws ... meaning I hope having Your own slippers at their house doesn't mean You... finally.submitted.totally.to.their.plot.of...

/me is joking of course, no insult towards Your in-laws/Your spouse meant, none whatsoever!

"It is handy to have even slippers at feet, most preferably a towel at hand at every place where one might be in danger of panicking..."

...yes, I have read through the one and only 5-piece-trilogy by Douglas Adams, R.I.P.

Oh yes...
Forgetting to click 'Submit' in the commodity market, traveling to my destination and then staring at an empty hold.

Confirmed. This happened to the very Myself too, yesterday
My reasosing is then that it.is.as.intended.in.the.game... not.a.bug...far from a very distant mistake a Cmdr 'X' might make...

Forgetting I haven't selected a destination and then chasing the station in circles thinking it's the next system I'm trying to align to.

Not kidding now, are you Xebeth? Not pretending to be Ev T??? Yes, I have to admit I have seen that happen... TWICE, ffs!
On a more serious note on this one, I _could_ almost swear that "I did select the destination= plot the route on the Galaxy Map" but yet, this has occured now at least twice, so it could be a bug too. No big deal, though.

Forgetting to raise the landing gear and then wondering why I'm going so slowly

Been there, done that...too!

42!

A big thumbs up to that idea.

isn't it amazing the things you remember as you're heading towards the mail-slot at 300m/s....

You mean things like the need to ask for docking permission?

Ohhh senior moments how i'm starting to understand thee ..

A month or so back i dropped out of supercruise by the usual station i'd been trading to/from, and called up my comms panel, was well within 700 of the station, and no 'request docking'.. ok it was late granted, but for a good number of minutes, i thought i'd been blocked by the station for some reason. Now here is where the senior moment truly kicked in, i then figured it was bugged, as i could see no reason why this station should be blocking me at all, so i logged a full bug report ticket for FD.. submitted it... and posted on a group facebook page too in case anyone else had been experiecing this issue.

More time went by, then when looking at the screen i noticed one.. small.. but very fatal flaw in what i had done.... I was on the navigation tab.. NOT the contacts tab, so therefore i could have been there all night trying to get the request docking option with no success... so i went to the contacts tab, and selected the station and voila.. one REQUEST DOCKING option.

Never have i deleted a facebook post and a bug report to FD so quickly.
