WE LOVE YOU.
Think that gets the message across.
(p.s. - thanks for all you've all done!)

Ha! Yes!! How cool. Could be ships or SRVs. Or a triathlon of ship, SRV and on-foot.
24h ….GO!

I printed out one of the GameFAQs FF7 guides. 630-odd pages of A4. Got it bound at a printers. Gave it to my brother as a present. Then borrowed it a while later. Still got my Hitman Blood Money printout.
Great site. Brings such good memories.

My only question would be does he realise what a huge positive effect he’s had on the ED community and what an absolute brilliant bloke he is.
And how much he’ll be missed.

Watch Le Mans. Even better - go. After my first Le Mans I lost interest in the pantomime of F1. More time spent talking about post race penalties instead of amazing overtakes or hooking chicanes up.

Yes very annoying. Used to be able to. Now cannot. Be nice if FDEV told us why.

Also big shout for removing Oversized experimental on Beams and replacing with thermal vents and thermal shock. In a CobraV it’s hilarious fun to target PP.

Day one yes.
Right now all I care about is obscene cargo capacity. To hell with Power Distributors and Utility Slots. Forget hardpoints. Just give me >1500T cargo capacity please FDEV.
Please ask the same question after four weeks of ownership. Will the novelty have worn off?

Me too. By about a thousand miles.

😕 sorry to hear. I’ve widened deadzone in past to alleviate drifting sensor issue.

Set the dead zone on yaw to be higher using the Logitech software.

Amazing bringing to life.
This was my effort m, I thought the shadows were markups on the first image.

Fleet carrier ID number. The registration plate it has. I’d like to make it meaningful. We all see them on each others carriers but they’re just drivel.

As long as employer respects that barrier then definitely yes!
I’ve had prior senior manager look to call me late in the evening for a Webex and that’s a big no-no. I told my boss and the message got through.

Tough one. Flip side is that I can dial in to a Teams or Webex meeting on my phone and then go collect the kids from school. I’m happy to have them on my phone for me to choose to use, just as long as my employer doesn’t expect it to be an extension of my computer - and they don’t. Hard line in sand

Happy birthday both of you! Forties have been mostly good for me so far. Not 19 anymore and realising actually that’s ok. Getting impatient though, tolerating idiots getting harder. Despair at right wing shift and yearn for the good old days more. So yeah. Forties are a bit of a balance I guess.

It’s so random isn’t it. The only recommendation I can give is to make sure you have A-rated scanner with long range engineering. A fast, agile ship too. But yeah. An hour the other day. 90s last night. Mental.

I read the first book and got a little
lost towards the end. I’ve got the next two lined up and then thought I’d check the series out. Does that sound wise?

Sudden reheating of tea = bad sign perhaps?

All started at 15 years old in the corner shop, calculating (volume * percentage alcohol by volume) / price for all the contenders I could consider.
Never looked back.

Tell everyone to keep practicing. Free beer often inbound when expert.

10% off means 11th drink is free!

Please watch it, It’s brilliant. Worth the entry fee on its own. The sheer scale of the game was not apparent to me, and the solutions to manage it are very neat, and oddly satisfying.
I’m in no rush but when the galaxy ia ready I will explore it with great delight.
Bravo Fleetyard.

I’ve had an unfinished Coriolis, any indication if that plays any part?

Totally how I role-played it too. The added necessity of calculating the transit-system made it all the more realistic combined with the occasional error in my calcs leaving me a few light years adrift.
Beauty as ever in the eye of the beholder.

yes!! That was it! You could then just trig your way anywhere you wanted in two jumps, occasionally three if it wasn't quite spot on.

Yeah that might fun actually. Could put it on the low spec laptop we have in the house.

I can't recall if FFE or FFE2 but there was a jump glitch wheret you could jump some crazy, large multiple of your jump range. I exploited it with pages of hand-calc trigonometry to use distant system as triangulated jump-fulcrum to get anywhere in between in the two jumps. Felt like a navigator.

What a magnificent game. Lost more than one school summer holidays to it.
