Jace FaolanSo I just tried to upload a couple screenshots I took recently but it's saying that the file is too large? I don't know if there's someplace that I've got to go to resize these before uploading them?
I use Imgur, you can store, resize, and it provides various links and formats for posting your pics to forums, etc.

Exploration, PVP, Trade. All of that you need specific load outs. If your goal is money? Trade.
If you don't care about the "quick"? You can literally play the game however you want.

CavanNah dude. You don't.

Since Horizons, and FD's insistence on pilots getting to know surface activities, frankly, I find it quite difficult to meet BB missions requiring landing at surface ports without an advanced scanner. Especially on the multi-part missions they are certainly time-saving IMHO.

it can be a proper pain in the asp if you forget to equip 1 when running lots of missions.. sod's law, you will need it for the the 1st short clock mission, with no time to spare lol..

What will you be signing up for, so you have a pretty good idea, we have video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNGSP6YxqAs
Competitors will find the event mountain for this year's Galactic Base Jumping Open Final - Njokujinun System , Planet 1. Location is planet side at Lat -13 Long -128. Emergency and First Aid is located at Nyberg Vision Station in low orbit.
The following message is preceeded by this basic warning, you might blow up doing any or all of the activities procrastinated, demonstrated or otherwise alluded to in this post. Bounties and Powerplay Merits will be lost if this happens. You have been warned, cash your cheques
So, I have surveyed the location for Jumps tommorow, Geo Stationary and Solar Wind conditions look favorable, Equipment is readily available at all 3 stations in system.
We have Prize Credits. The winner is decided by a panel of 3 Judges based on points in the 4 events/points eligable areas:
Best Crash (if you fail to crash for any reason but score well in the other 3 areas, then you will win bonus points, this is a wildcard category)
Longest Freefall (landed, and alive)
Best Base Jump (can include tricks for extra style)
Place in the Downhill Race.
Jumps will be recorded should a Judges Enquiry be needed and most likely available on YouTube or Twitch, subject to Internet Weather.
Could all interested competitors drop me a message on Inara or in game with your in game name AND apply to the following Private Group in-game PeachSlicesV . We will form up at 2pm outside Nyberg Vision in Private Group and perform the nessesary parachute and safety briefings.
Feel free to bring your friends to participate, they must be in the private group to take part in the Main event. This is a faction free event. You might even get to say "Hi" to some adversaries, we are mostly adults and kick is always available.
Instructions: Buy one (or 2 or 3) of the Planetary Vehicle Hanger and buy the SRV for the slots in the Star Port, Nyberg Vision 2ls (!) off surface and practically geo stationary:
A Cobra Mark III can fit 2 without further upgrades (2 SRV each) for a meagre 600k, and you only spend 30k on the 10% ship sale. Maximum fun minumum cost.
Almost any ship will do, dont forget your planetary approach suite, if you took it off for any reason.
Then just drop down to surface find a nice spot with a steep bit, get yourself to a drop off and BOOOOOOOOOST!
Refill SRV's at the station. Repeat and Stir.
Good luck and see you Nyberg Vision 2pm UTC/GMT.
