What a Mare.....

Was it dickhead day in space yesterday ?.......

I was doing a bit of mission trading in my hauler to get a bit more dosh for Viper upgrades and almost every station I left had some twat NPC that must have been fresh out of pilot school......

They really should supply "L" plates to give everyone else a fighting chance.......

Almost every time someone blocking the exit.......

Worst two were a lakon 9 wedged sideways across the exit...I just.......And I mean just made it past with a few scratches and a few seconds to go on a trespass warning.........

Other one was....I was flying towards the exit at a fair speed.....This knob overtakes me just before the exit and fecking almost stops right in front of me.....Had to quickly take evasive action which ended up with me shaking the crumbs out of the toast rack.......

At that point seeing how it was going I really should have given up for the night....Coz things only got worse......

I took a mission to deliver some fish to a brinkin mine or sthg....Good pay....Small jump......

Get there...No BB......WTF.......Alright I'll save and exit.........

Restart and I'm at Baker Platform.....Oooookaaaay.......Try that one again......

So I jump back to the mine....same thing no BB.....Save and exit......Back at baker platform....Hmmmmmm........ Bollocks to this.....I'll get on with my other missions......

So I finish my other missions and cash in......Look at the fish mission.....see I have 26 mins left......Have a serious blonde moment and abandon the mission.....The second I done it I thought....Wanker.....Looked at the cargo.....Yep....

I'm now sitting in a federal station with stolen cargo....Muppet......I know I'm gonna be scanned on the way out....Sooooo....Launch.....Watch the scanner......Nothing coming in.....Right.....Full speed towards the exit and boost just before........Yeeehaaaa.......Scan starts just as I leave....... Boost again.......Engage drive and jump to Freeport....Sell fish on black market...Just covers the fine for the mission.....But all OK.....

I also was interdicted loads last night...One was so close to a planet that the ship done an emergency drop out whilst I was chasing the stuttering escape vector...Once again no chance with it jumping all over the place......

I hope tonight's a little bit better...Gonna check out them upgrade sites listed and downgrade my FSD if poss......

Whew...my fingers ache......

Breskin Mine I take it? Ran into that issue on the first day of Beta 3 and raised a ticket for it, apparently that issue is fixed in the next big build which I took to be Gamma but they could mean 3.9 as well.

Well I sold everything and got a Viper, and kitted it out as best I could with the money that I had.

Turning circle is terrible. Moves like a house compared to the Eagle. Harder hitting but when you go up against a Wanted Dangerous NPC in a Sidey, you sure have to be careful.

You Must have Seen my battle, dont you?

I needed full 20min to bring down that sidey,....... Boy,.....at least my cannons blew him out of Lp98-123. but the cost of the grenades will bring me poverty, seriously. But its fun.....
