I'm in Broomfield, just a bit east of Boulder CO. I was hoping for more darkness. In lieu of the darkness I found myself wishing for a fleet or Aurora's to blot out the remainder of the Sun!!!!:sunglasses: [Edit] I did have my #12 welders helmet on, too bad my wife didn't take a snapshot of...

Here is how I understand it, someone correct me if this is off. REC can be earned in Arena Commander in certain areas, such as racing, swarms. Not in individual, it must be competitive. Those REC can be used in the Electronic Access store for renting stuff for (7) 24 hour periods. The stuff...

Last time I used REC to rent weapons I could test them in game, but not ships rented with REC, those were only in arena commander. It's been a month+ since I have been on though, so I wonder if they changed that you can't use weapons in game anymore.

Does our REC get wiped out when 3.0 gets promoted?

Racing has been a pretty consistent way for me to have enough REC to rent ships and play around with them. And I have *never* come in first unless everyone else crashes and/or drops out of the race. I'm worse a fighting the swarms.

@Blind Owl, great advice to read The Expanse. I bought the first book, Leviathan Wakes. Went on a business trip, and ripped through 200+ pages. Great book! I got zero work done on the plane, so my boss thanks you for that! So I bought him plenty of :beers::beers::beers: last night...

I'm with ya' more than you know. When my family was young my wife and I agreed that I would take a normal job (already I was a startup company guy, I get bored easily) and stay at home and help raise the kids. Wife wanted to be a stay at home Mom. I took a job with a fortune 1000, corporate...

@marcsand2 I agree, it was too short, but I have a variety of reasons (excuses?): 1. I have another vacation coming up in September, 7 days out on the trail with my horse and some other dudes (@CrudeSasquatch I'll need my horse back before September 10th, hopefully in good enough shape to take...

As long as you feed her well while you have her...

Back from vacation. Highlight hike of the trip, Hanging Lake, outside of Glenwood Springs. Quite a hike, goes up 1000 feet of elevation in about 1 mile. A thigh buster up, a knee buster down, but worth every bit of it.

I'm game for this too. It sounds like good times! I'll bring the beer and whiskey. :) I've only got my starter ship thus far, been renting other ships for practice. I'd get a kick out of flying as support. Defending the bigger ships if necessary. And flying guard while boarding parties...

First day of vacation. Was supposed to do some house projects on day 1, as we are leaving tomorrow for the mountains. Here I sit, 3 cups of coffee later, a nice breakfast, a ride on my horse, some time reading posts, and nary a house project even considered yet. I'll be in trouble when the...

Nah. I may win the shittier contest here. The machine I'm currently using has a 560 in it. I can actually fly, but I don't use any of the high resolution settings, and it still gets a bit herky-jerky on me. I'm limping along, but barely...

@JackAvalon, I hadn't even thought of that. That's a great point, and sadly, Thanksgiving just isn't that far away at this point, is it. And we'll be lucky if the 3.0 is released by then anyway! LOL.

Boooo!:confounded: Sorry to hear that Sam, that really sucks. I have been through some battles with virus's in the past, and I've always included Malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com/) in my process of cleaning up. Don't know if that will help in your situation. Even with that I usually...

Sounds like we've got the start of a local TESTies group! I hear happy hour in the future! Real beer instead of virtual beer.:beers:

And if you meet her on August 10... :bride_with_veil::boy:

WOW! Ain't that cool! On our anniversary I'll raise a toast (with beer, of course, not champagne) to you and your wife as well! And congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! On our 10th we took a cruise from Florida to the Caymen Islands and did some snorkeling, then on to Cozemel in...

It's a pretty special place. It's unfortunately overcrowded these days. I used to go like to hike in between (starting with the foreground) #1 and #2 in that line of trees. Great workout on a weekend morning as the sun comes up. Great views of Denver and Boulder. But not anymore. It's like...

@Shadow Reaper and I were chatting in private message about this. I have an i5 machine that I'd like to limp along with for a while yet. If I can score a decent GPU for it I can maybe stop stealing time from my daughter's machine (she's always in my way when I want to fly). So started some...
