Episparhoh, the cat piss ate your crunchy AspX that have 72MJ shield and boost at 350m/s once in 10 sec?

Most unfortunate.

On the bright side, now you have a reason to look how to build a proper ship for a task. Exploring in a cardboard isn't very healthy for your data.


AspX? This is not how you spell "Sidewinder Mk II" with authentic Zippo for an engine.

SakashiroTo be fair, the AspX is garbage even when fully engineered.

You take that back!
I quite like my AspX. Sure it's a bit plump and not as fast, fierce, or freight-ready, but it's versatile and I've got it fully engineered to easily make multiple 72+ Ly jumps. It got me from nothing to Elite in exploration and helped me start the real gameplay of credit grinding. So, there!

Besides, it's currently my "main", my flagship, and will likely stay my main until that new Mandalay comes out. (Still hate the name choice for the "Mandalay".)

Note on tone: Read the above as faux offense somewhat tongue-in-cheek, not actual hurt. I do like the AspX, but I also accept criticism on it compared to other ships. To each their own.

Sooo, war is over? If you want it?

That's odd, but I got into a working instance after getting the 'it's over' message, and currently fighting it. Hope it won't crash though.

"Hold my beer, I have a new Sidewinder!"

Yup, the goids didn't get the memo.

But no more rescue missions at Jameson. Station is abandoned now, I guess.

Yeah, I was looking at yours blanketing your knees in +5G and blind you in -5 like spaniel ears... so forgot to pay attention to charts. It was just too funny.
(Now I need industrial strength eye and memory bleach)

Rocks in socks, said gravity.

Your comment seems unnecessarily abrasive for me mentioning that it’s sensible to check your route, especially when there’s an alien invasion force still at the edges of human space. One of those being a fairly large area around the Col 285 systems around the eastern side of it.

And perhaps you should leave profile pictures out of a game-related discussion, else it just seems like you don’t have any arguments or anything useful to add to it.

The goids will not be there if you get an instance that has not been kept alive past the end of the invasion/reaching 100%. Players may still have been fighting Hydras in Open for a while.

The last few stragglers are probably finishing up around about now though.

Yeah, no combat missions either. I wonder, whether or not my remaining one (two Hydras) is still valid. Ah, creds won't hurt anyway. All missions on smaller variants went okay, but it was before I noticed the board is empty.

The bonds should count, my nearly 350mil for two CZs did even though about half of the second was completed after the 100% mark was hit for the invasion.

I've got a Basilisk along with my Hydras, funny.

Well, you can get exploration Elite in pretty much any ship. I once used a Sidewinder. Went to Colonia, scanned a few systems along the way, done.

But if you enter a Thargoid-controlled system by accident as AH did and get interdicted, it won't matter if your AspX is engineered or not. A fast ship such as a Courier or even an Adder will simply shrug it off. And shrug off gankers too by the way.
