Post arrival ....what do I do now?
23 Apr 2017Kaw-Liga PD
I've just found out a couple of handy things tonight, and saved myself a few bob (real time money sorry lads, not in game Cr). Firstly, after a few months - I can land, safely on planets! It's been a while and I was very nervous, but having got the hang of it again, I think I'll put it into use tomorrow in my 'proper' account. Secondly, I was toying with the idea (this is the cash saving bit) of buying a Saitek/Logitech Farm sim side panel, I've checked it out and it looks fantastic for use in the new camera suite! However, following my youngest son's advice I used a game pad (a la Xbox type) and it works fine...few more tweaks and it'll be spot on! Cheers son! Not knowing what to do now I'm here, I've thought up a mini bucket list. I need to land on somewhere within the system, coming all this way and not landing would be ridiculous! Next, SRV - I need to get that out and try a bit of a drive...checked my stats and I e only ever driven a total of 53km in one...and that needs doing before I leave Beagle Point. I've also realised (gushing sentiment coming up) that I've missed my Wing mates.. they're all nuts about this game, same as me, and I can't wait to get back to Sol and rejoin the mob. I've also managed to get my name on the 65000 Ly from Sol list in the Frontier Forums. This, to me, was another goal of mine, I can't be that bad a pilot if I've got to Beagle Point (imo)...and I'm proud of my achievement. Talking about "going to Beagle Point" was always such an empty threat - I had to 'walk the walk'.. others have achieved far greater things in the game...the Triple Elitists are my ultimate goal...and I will get there one day. But, we all have to start somewhere, mine was a quick sortie to beat 9887k Ly out (long story) - then I thought - Colonia should be next, and it all rolled on after that. I watched YouTube footage of the DWE as it happened and was both inspired and jealous, insanely jealous! Shabooka's videos absolutely drove me to make this trip...mine was vastly different from the one he put up on YouTube. His trip seemed to be full of insight and beautiful sights - mine was a test of my own endurance and skill (I'm not bragging) by skill I mean a test to see if I had the skill to get there? The trip back will be my chance to see everything, the achievement of getting there is done. I'll tick off the items on my mini bucket list and head back...leisurely amd carefully. I have been to Beagle Point, I travelled 65000 Ly...to begin my journey. I've been flying in Elite for just over two years now, and it's only now that I feel like I have actually started to learn. I hope that when I get back that the first Elite (Explorer) won't be far off, but I know that whatever it takes I'm sure I'll get it.. that's all for now - see you in The Dark Cmdrs o7
