Well just spent another night with a pair of Twats......

You really do have to be there to actually believe some shit......

I managed to fall out of my ship at about 680M.....I keed you not.....

Loriath (Warmonger) just shot anything that moved...Or didn't move for that matter.....

And Dawg (Complete Twat) is the data point king.......Or would be.....If he knew which key he had binded to what...

And to finish the evening Dawg and I sorted out all of the worlds problems.....But mainly FD's.....Whilst sipping a few pints in Riff Raffs......

Another fine night....Thank you gents......A genuine pleasure.....

Oh and when we met up yesterday.....Well day before now....Dawg actually burst a blood vessel in his eye through laughing......True...

I personally think he is a victim of monkey abuse......

Anyone is welcome to join us......

Being a fecking idiot is not a requirement.....But helps......

Toodily pip......

:D

Tor.....Hold on.......Tor.......Wait a bit.....TOR will you stop fecking firing.......Ok......Tor I know a therapist that can help you....... :D My Cmdr also has small feet

Seems that the only way to refuel the SRV at the moment, apart from docking at a station, is to synthesize fuel. If you don't have the necessary material, that could force you to go dock somewhere (possibly having to leave the planet and/or the system in order to do so). Having two SRV's gives you twice the range.

And of course, as others noted, having a second SRV would spare you an immediate trip to the nearest dock if you happen to destroy the first one.

Not in-game yet, but I'm about to be. I think it is time to ditch my mining Type 7 and replace it with an el-cheap-o mining build Python. Will be kinda crap-ish at first, but I will be more safe against pirates that interdict me. A buddy of mine with a mining Type 6 almost got wiped when he got interdicted. Of course, that ship has crap shields too.

I'm not. Eventually, when the dollar lure bites; FD will sell horizons on steam. I've seen the reviews, watched the various youtube videos and I've read the forums.

I'm looking for a game with trade that is complicated and subtle, I want to mine, I like fishing, I like crafting as well. Ohh, I can exapnd my territory - I'm all about that. Fill spaceship orders, You better believe it!

You've lost me to Hay Day. There is more mental stimulation in this free to play app then in all of ED

At some point, Hay Day will grow old; but I bet it will outlive this game.

Hey bud. ;)

Here's my mining Python configuration, just to give you some ideas.

I haven't had it out of the station in a while. Let me know when you want to go bust some rocks... maybe I can tag along. :)

Yeah seems if you throw decorum out the window, you can have a lot of fun in this game.

Kharma managed to find a Canister of Narcotics, and 2 slave girls that he added to his Harem. Now would be a good time to note that neither Dawg or I could see the Cannister of Narcotics (though we do believe narcotics WERE involved) or the 2 Slave girls, well, that explains the long bouts of silence from Kharma. (Either that or the Narcotics)

At one point, I could not see anything Kharma was seeing, Dawg could not see Kharma, and Kharma could not see a thing (Again, Narcotics I think). FD has to work on the Instancing in wings.

And I do concur, being a fecking idiot helps A LOT!

Again, you have never seen me drive, Have you?

If you did you would realize as a compared to my Driving, I am a Top Gun Pilot who other pilots bow down to.


Disclaimer: I am a horrible pilot, but driving a buggy is FAR worse than you could possibly imagine.
