Re route spoils my plans - temporarily
21 Apr 2017Kaw-Liga PD
I was full of myself last night, getting below 10k and determined to halve that tonight. FAIL! Not of epic proportions, but a fail nonetheless. I was under a somewhat misguided direction, that I could fly direct as the crow flies etc straight up from Colonia to Beagle Point. Got as far as 7500k out and had to reroute east ward (looking down onto Galmap) to pick up a route that will get me there. I'm actually a bit disappointed in myself really, I really wanted to 'go it alone' but plottting was difficult from my position so the reroute was the best option. I still intend to get there this weekend, but, allowing for some practice time (as I've previously said in my back up account Amos27) re landing on planet surfaces with a relatively new hotas, means that the Saturday ETA is off! I hope to spend just the one night practising then return Sunday and hammer it to get to Beagle Point. The only time I've landed with the new Warthog so far is the one thing me at Colonia, after a 44k trip, and that was a complete disaster, only just short of blowing myself up! Rudder pedals and me do NOT get along, but I'm getting the hang of it, but that was in Jacques, on a planet, I'm not taking any chances....enough of the waffle...I'm off to watch a bit of TV....happy that I have at least got a route through the graveyard of the Abyss sorted! Fly safe and I'll see you all in The Dark Cmdrs o7
