Murdoc the Wokest of WokeBut few can cope with being imperfect and thus strive to reach an impossible goal, burning themselves out in the process.

It takes a lot to understand and acknowledge that one is simply human and nothing more.


Glad we have people like you here to keep us plebs in line right?

In other, less-woke news, pirate Chieftan is a wonderful piece of work. I have to say it's rather fun to take a ship of a specific role and build it to do something other than what it was intended for.

Smiling Dog Crew- those magnificent bastards- took down a Thargoid with a wing of stock (except for the lone AX weapon on the size 2 hardpoint) Adders one time.

I saw someone in my town today while I was at the shop wearing a custom hoodie with an Imperial logo on it and some text going around it, I'm thinking from a wing and damn it I didn't have the guts to say anything!

Anybody know what type of ship this is? I don't recognise it...





The engines seem grossly oversized for a ship this small...



your help is greatly appreciated

Thanks folks, A Condor, ok, I can buy that, so what's a short range fighter doing in Wregoe NT-O c20-8? There was also a Vulture parked above it on a cliff



but no sign of a Cmdr (even though the ship was listed to a Cmdr Davy Jones), no contacts on my left hand contact list. The ship registration was this...



Is this something or nothing? I'm a reasonable way out...

Thanks again

Wregoe is, iirc, not too far out, and I've run into several crashed SLFs myself outside the bubble. Do you remember which sign the ship had on your radar?

it showed up as a POI on my srv radar (signal on top half of radar)

Phisto SobaniiIt's this here that kills me: 'Sounds a bit like hypocrisy. Virtue is only virtue in extremis.'

As if hypocrisy was the highest sin. But never mind that! The only virtue is virtue in the extreme? I mean, I'd like to find that video of the monks slapping themselves in the head with boards to just make fun of the idea if it wasn't responsible for some of the worst suffering humanity ever sees.

James, you guys really gotta put the amateur ethics away and think this stuff through a little better.



My apologies for failing to be clear on this point: "Virtue is only virtue in the extremes" does not mean to take it to an extreme, it means that when a virtue is convenient and untested it's no virtue at all. Only when it actually costs something to uphold it can you claim to be "virtuous". Take honesty or integrity - if there's a gain to be had by lying or being inconsistent, or if there is a penalty to be suffered by staying honest or consistent, do you? How big a gain or pain would cause you to lie or act contrary to what you claim is right? The extreme to which you will uphold your virtue defines your commitment to it. Truism, sure, but most people will toss their virtues and principles aside quite as soon as it becomes uncomfortable.

I've get yesterday bounty 300$, and at IF wanted for clearing it 67k $ ... is this "exchange ratio" normal? Curious if this can be bug, or intended behaviour.

It's consistent with what I've been seeing on the forums. Crime seems to be expensive these days!
