EpisparhNauni and Dan are currently under Thargoid attack. Both systems have one Federal faction AKA rescue and AX missions can progress navy rank.
I am in Nauni doing rescue missions and evacuating the station. I never fought Thargoids but I am willing an able to help. Usually online by 00:00 GT. O7

Daddy O4000hours in Xplane.
I've just started using X-plane, and it's pretty neat. Not much impressive besides the flight physics, which are top-class for good reason. I've even made physical simulations of the Eagle and Chieftain in there to see how they'd handle FA-off in a realistic flight model, and it's really not too bad. Difficult flying, but it does still work.

Half-Lock (ps4)So are we all just gonna have to pretend the War Against Darkwater Inc. community goal wasn’t posted and then be surprised and shocked at the new wrinkle in the Imperial-NMLA storyline?
Was this even supposed to happen? Don't get me wrong, it feels like FD just glossed over the whole thing in a rather boring manner. "Oh look the Emperor has been kidnapped!!! Never mind, she's been miraculously recovered in perfect health!"

Yuna SakashiroImagine being an emperor, and it takes your underlings a year to notice you're no longer around...
If my boss disappears for a year, and my paycheck still goes in, why bother?

Xplane does so many incredible things that it makes ED look like Pong.
I once flew half way to the moon; Xplane does orbital flight too.
Another time I built a flying brick...just to see if I could get it to fly. It flew...but it flew like...a brick...
You can link PCs to create a fully functional flight simulator. My last one had 4 PCs and included a working HUD.
The damage modelling is so realistic that twice i have experienced engine separations on piston-craft. Torn the wings off a hundred times.
People have built planes, rocket cars, rockets, driveable aircraft carriers, space craft....your imagination is the only limit.
Fly on Earth, fly on Mars. Rockets, props, jets, gliders, rotary wing craft, VTOL, blimps...you can fly anything.
Ever wondered if you could get a 747 into space if it had rocket engines? The answer is yes.
BTDT.

Took me a week to get used to rolling with keys.Next goal: permanent FA off.

Yuna SakashiroNext goal: permanent FA off.Hah. Landing on those rotating starports could be a kind of fun.
But the reverski thing is awesome.
