Go go JohnFluke! I mean... Luke...

I found 3 Earth-likes last night. One was even near 2 water worlds. However, 90% of the systems I passed through those 6000+ Lys were either empty or filled with plain pink rocks no one bothers to even look at, let alone scan :)

Also - if you don't have to, avoid the big black void between the habitable space and the next galaxy swirl. The damn thing has so scarce stars that even with a 36Ly jump range half of my routes end up as "Route unavailable". I was aprox 800lys above the galaxy plane. Had to go down to 0-50lys to actually get my routes to work.

Make sure to backup your binds and stuff, Kharma. I read they can be wiped out.

Well done my first deathmatch in CQC.......

Came 2nd to a Cmdr who's on lev 10....Not bad......Seeing as I'm on lev 1 and there were some 4's and 6's on there......

BUT.....Trackir is fooked......Not recognising game......

Just stopped game to try and find out why......

Also ship would not repair........

Couple of settings got changed....Hardware cursor and map quality......

Alt tabbed out....But could not get back in...Client screen would not take focus...Clicked in it and immediately back to desktop.....

Gonna have a tinker and see If I can sort it.....

*Edit*

Repair bug known about.....

Trackir still not recognised in beta works fine in 1.3....

Differing reports on this...Some say it works...Some not.....

Bit of a BIG game changer for me......So will prob lay off playing until it's sorted...Can't be arsed to remap to open panels etc....

*Edit part deux*

Suitably pissed off after trying a myriad of things and TrackIR still not working in beta......

Plus side is the new Strongbow "Cloudy Apple" cider is rather nice......

*Hic*.....

Finally done with the jumping and scanning, and scanning and jumping! After spending waaaaay too much time selling the scan data, I got promoted to Ranger. The payout of the trip was a bit less than I hoped for (40mil), but more than I expected (20mil) - 37mil.

Image

I only kept scanning stuff on my way to Sag A* - I only took a handfull of scans on my way back because I just wanted to get it over with. Now I'm happily docked in "our" station. Oh, btw - I had 2583Cr repairs on my Asp. I'd say I took good care of her :D

One hell of a payout! Were you able to hand them in while the CG was active?

Got forced into a situation against 3 condas on an FDL without shields (lost them beforehand), was about to take down the second one with minimal damage when I accidentally activated FA while boosting. The ship realigned to a ramming Anaconda and blew me up instantly.

Well if the CG was active last night around 10pm, then yes. I was in the specified system. No idea if I got some extra cash or anything. I just kept spamming the "Sell page" button. :)

I used the money to re-cheapfit my anaconda. I need a better powerplant, and my pewpew Python is gonna get it for me :)
