That is the main issue now, getting from Olistar to Levski or GH is a throw of the dice all by itself. While cargo and landing pad are persistent, where you wake up and ship load outs aren't.

Okay, I got a confession to make. I am a "Clothes Horse". For those not in a know, a Clothes Horse was what you used to hang clothes on to allow them to dry indoors after washing them. It was the precursor to the clothes dryer, and also means a person that buys alot of clothes, but I digress...

My RL Brother and I are looking to meet in SC and I am going to teach him the fine art of crashing....errrr....flying. For Christmas, I gifted him an Avenger and a Cutty, the two most useful ships available at the moment (in my opinion).

Well, his name can't really be Derek Smart, or else that is false advertising. The guy is about as sharp as a bowling ball, and half as useful.

I guess I was too high when I cut the engine, because it would not come back down. As a matter of fact, when I did finally cut the engine, it dismounted me and I was "walking in space". Not floating, walking around on a flat surface of space, was kinda cool, but I figured it JUST might be...

I still have difficulties with Tequila (Takillya) ever since The Great Tequila Experiment of '89. Long story... In closing:

Heh, had a fully loaded Connie, 9600 units of cargo, potential 120,000cred run. Froze up as I approached the green light on Oli and crashed. Think I will make smaller runs from now own. Takes longer, but less of a setback when, not if, you lockup and get dumped.

My experiences with Dragon Fly's and Nox's has been that when you power on, it zooms up into the stratosphere and leaves you there to die. I was unable to ever get them to descend, they want to be up with the stars!

That is true. Travel time and speed of vessel. So far, I am loving the Cutty for this sort of thing. Fairly fast, smaller landing footprint, and decent cargo. Also, for all I know, when the server is reset, the prices might be reset. Not sure how to check that one.

Yeah, and I have run into that on occasion also. If I had known the price had changed, I would have gone with a different commodity. I could have sworn though, that I read someplace that if you have good faction with whichever group, you could get a commodity readout from your Mobi-Glass...

Yuppers. Pretty cool really.

When I get that, I swap servers. Some are horrible, some are great. Just luck of the draw so far.

Yeah, your the guy I got it from. Thanks mucho for that!

I spoke too soon. Made a cargo run, had my Connie fully loaded. Over 100,000 cred worth of goods. Just as I reached Oli, had landing permission, approaching the green line...locked up my system. Luckily, I was taking a fellow Testie's advice. Always hold back a couple of thousand cred...

I usually use: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VWWsl8RO8ZHobHHS6RAktZxeL9xwU6F53QzlCjd5wok/edit#gid=0 It is updated by players that view it, as comments. Those comments are updated by the owner of the spreadsheet. But it is more dynamic, seems updated to be pretty close to what you...

I use: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VWWsl8RO8ZHobHHS6RAktZxeL9xwU6F53QzlCjd5wok/edit#gid=0 It is a "living" spreadsheet that people can update via comments as to the new prices. The others are static.

I also had a pleasant experience today. Played about 3 hours, no crashes, no lockups, no wild gyrating of Cutty hips. Just smooth gameplay running 20-25 fps, with 25 being the norm. On one server, I logged in and was getting 55fps. Well, before others logged on, but it was a exhilarating...

I got me a Avenger TItan. It and the Kore is about the only "light freighter" that you can actually load something into the cargo area.

I have been debating going Dual Stick, but I got an X52 setup. I kind of like the throttle and stick. Also, I am kinda frugal. If it works, I cannot justify to myself buying another setup.

Yup, my first landing was in a Cutty. Landed it tail down, nose pointing up at 45 degrees. Rear hatch would not work, so I fell out a side door. I agree with Sunder, grappling hooks should be mandatory. Come on, even Stormtroopers, stationed INSIDE a huge Deathstar the size of a moon had them!
