@CrudeSasquatch is working extra long days up in Fort McMurray, helping with the rebuild.

That is good. Hopefully he is doing fine :)

Good morning everyone.

Today is the day my house completion should go through, sorry I've not been around much but you can imagine how busy this makes me, not even had the chance to check the PTU this week!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Real life should always have the priority. Use the positive energy and don't bother about the PTU or the forum - it will be still there when you'll come back in a couple of months. In my experience, it is one of the greatest things - besides of becoming kids - to buy a house, to paint and furnish it and finally move in. :)

Well by ship spending spree has been haulted for the moment thanks to a big seller on Reddit that mistook a CCUd Carrack LTI for an original Carrack LTI with the premium price to boot. All got sorted and refunded but one would think they would check what they are trying to sell? o_O So now I'm still a whole pile of money short as the bank will probably sit on the refund for 3 business days until it goes back into my account. :( Not sure whats worse, the forgetful seller or a thieving bank(3 days of thieving)! :eek:

Congratulations to your originial Carrack. I envy you.

I am fucking laughing my ass of at these. Hahaha

Not laughing, but grinning, especially about the last pic. ;)

My avatar is quite o.K. It's representing a little bit how I am and who I am: "German", sportive and always a little bit curious about the things which happen around me, in RL and VL.

Well, lots to do in the office, minor time for you TESTies. Have a coffee, make yourself home - and have a nice Friday! Lets hope that 2.4 will be released into PU this day!
Cheers,
Sam

Congratulations to your originial Carrack. I envy you.

I envy me too as I currently have no Carrack nor money for said Carrack until the bank gives it back to me from the refund, then I go through the whole Carrack buying process again.......:eek:

 

[AstroSam]

Finally... It's FRIDAY!!! Oh thank you, thank you, thank you...

So your pitching the tent in the local pub carpark then? :rolleyes: Ahhh photoshop.....if it could only solve my problem of my alcohol, cigarette addiction with excessive makup usage, making me look like a $2 tart.........oh wait.......photoshop has caused this issue! LOL :rolleyes:

TGIFF!

That is all...

Amen Milady! There's nothing like coming home on a Monday after being in the field for a month....only to have to work the rest of the week. FML.

Tonight I drink.

Sun is shining - garden work is waiting. Today we'll buy a new fence. Away with the money *sigh* Would be better invested in SC, wouldn't it? ;) But since we bought a new car this week, there is no money left at all for anything; well, at least this month :D

Hey there! Sunday 1 a.m. it is. Have to go to bed now. Met Mz in the verse, but somehow she disappeared - damn buggy the alpha still is. Grinded some aUEC, bought some weapons - and shot a guy in the head who stole my 350r. Sad story that I was in the ship while he took off... :D Well, I have to say that I warned him that I will shoot him if he won't bring back my ship immediatly. Didn't took me serious. First mistake ...

Sleep well!

Good morning TEST! This weekend was...a strange one. I ate way too much, made only minor sports, felt bad about everything. And on top I made the most frustrating experience that the happy PTU times are over: griefers and wanna-be-pirates are all around, for there is no chance to fly around in peace, because during every minute you have to be afraid to be shot in the back.
Don't take me wrong: I like dogfights now and then - if the fights are with honorable opponents. But if you are going into a ICC probe mission
a) fighting against KI pirates and are shot into open space several times, recognizing way too late that there is a guy, whom do you took as ally but who fights WITH the KI pirates OR
b) fighting together with another RL pilot against KI pirates who finally, after you killed every KI pirate into space, falls into your back and kills you by shooting you into your back
there is no more fun left by playing SC. It convinced me not to invest any more into this game, but to wait for the final result. I'm frustrated enough to stay away from it for some time and play some other - OFFLINE - games.

Anyway - the week is starting such as my mood: grey and rainy. But at least there is much improvement potential ;)

Have a good start into this week!
Sam

Personally in my limited play time of 2.4 live, no experience with idiots yet. Sure they are about but maybe at a different time slot. I did run out of quantum fuel in the middle of nowhere which was a downer. The game is far too early though to call it a bust because of wannabe pirates. When game goes up or they properly introduce an action consequence system in the alpha where death means something and a wanted level for misbehavior is not beneficial for peoples gameplay, then they will continue to act the clown until then.

 

[AstroSam]

I didn't call the game a bust - but I'm frustrated enough to be [CONCERN]ed about what it will finally be/come. Looking to all the space idiots I met the last two days, I'm frustrated enough to care about other things for a while. Currently I'm playing Witcher 3 again, story mode with reduced gore. That is relaxing gameplay, I tell you ;)
