    Re-learning to Fly - Thrustmaster 16000

    After some time off, getting back into things. Been mostly tuning up my ground fighting, now I want to re-learn flying. I was a keyboard and mouse person until about an hour ago, when I got a delivery of a shiny new Thrustmaster 16k. Single joystick (wouldn't want to overwhelm myself with 2...

    Travel Times Outrageously Long - I Must Be Doing Something Wrong

    I haven't entered the verse in a really long time (like we're talking a couple years). Saw some banter about a million in aUEC credits so thought I'd log in and have some fun spending some credits. I wake up in Area 18. First thing I do is quantum drive to the nearest place that has...

    The Lost Ship Dilemma!

    After a couple years away, I finally started up with SC again just before the IAE, and finally bought something other than my Mustang starter ship! Got the Cutty Black with the best in show paint. Upgraded from a Nomad and even saved myself 10 bucks. Since then I've been learning to fly all...

    Graphics Card - Good Deal?

    I know this has been debated almost endlessly on the forums, but here goes again. Amazon seems to have a good deal on a card (black friday deal?), and I actually need *something* to play right now. I am still using my daughter's gaming computer, and even that's getting dated. Mine has never...

    Outfitting the Mustang Alpha

    Working to become a good TESTie, I've been practicing with the Mustang Alpha, which is the only ship I have thus far. I can still make a fiery crash on landing, but flying it I am getting better. Now I need to figure out a faster way to take out those pirates. Knowing that a Mustang is *not*...

    Comm array mission - Crime Status?

    So I know there is crime status, but if one goes to an array, and the terminal says "Offline", and when approached it says "Power Off", I now assume that is to be left alone? I've done this twice now and I was just trying to turn it back on (it really did say "offline"), so I hit "F". It then...

    Snowy intro!

    Brand new to SC! Will have time to play today, as Denver has a snow dumping that kept me home. :) Are there any snow planets? I'm ready! Love it so far. My daughter bought me a starter package for Christmas. I think she just likes to see me drink beer and yell at the monitor. Will I fit...
