Captain's log: 2952-09-22-001 Well, another episode of "Life in the Verse" with Dogwing... and Sc00ter! First, thanks Sc00ter for the evening, it was a really stressful and fun evening! I loved it, we should do that more often! So, it all started when Sc00ter ask me to potentially save her butt since she thought she would be stranded somewhere in the middle of the black after a mishap while mining, nothing serious, she just fell asleep while breaking a rock!!! So, me being me, I said; "Sure, I'll get you out of that mess". Turns out she had one too many drinks last night as she was in her cubicle on ARC-L1! Oh well! After a big discussion, we then banded together for some MOLE mining. We went to a new secret spot of her that turned out to be dry! Could this stop us from having fun? No, not all as we happily got over one of the ship's bunk... euh, oh wait, wrong person, wrong story! lol... So, where was I, ah yes! We decided to go planetside, or moonside should I say, and went to Lyria to mine the "Lyria's Famous Big Rocks". We scanned the surface for about 15 minutes, with no signs of "Lyria's Famous Big Rocks" showing up, but then, I detected a ping on my radar! I could see the ship behind a rock I just scanned, and although it seemed friendly, I couldn't identify it and it was hiding behind the rock, like it was waiting for us. Thanks to Sc00t, she was able to identify it as a Buccaneer... Buccaneer rhymes with what? Yeah, you guessed it, pirate! So we got the "hell out of dodge" in no time to a safe spot. I made sure he wasn't following us and indeed, he wasn't! But we were not done yet and went to another outpost and resumed our scanning of the surface again and then, "Bang!", jackpot! We got a forty-per-center of 5.5k mass!!! With Sc00t manning the mining laser and me monitoring the radar, she managed to break it all up and when done, we had about 45-55 SCU's of Quant in the bags. We set out to ARC-L1 to sell our spoil of the day. I can say that landing a big ship like the MOLE isn't an easy job, ask Sc00t, she knows! I, somehow, managed to land the brick too far out of the landing pad, so its butt was sticking out of the hangar (I think!) and when the door closed, they hit the ship!!! To my dismay, it didn't blow up as I half-expected it to, you know, this being an Alpha and all full of Quant! So I ran my ass-off to the terminal to store my ship! All good... it seems! We both ran to the refinery to visualize our catch of the day! And guess what? No Quant! Nada, nyet, nothing!!! How could this be! We don't know but if you do, please let us know! So, all in all, bug and all, it was still a great evening and we will definitely do that again, even if we are only the two of us! Oh... and the moral of the story, use F4 when landing big ships, especially in hangars, you'll thank me later!!

On this episode of "Life in the Verse with Dogwing", one of my buddy decided to try the game, thanks to the free-flight they are having at the moment. So he downloads the game, and we meet at New Babbage (NB) on Microtech (MT). I give him a few pieces of armor and we head out to New Babbage Interstellar Spaceport (NBIS). We decide to do a mission to one of the new derelict outpost, so he can experience all the new, shinny stuff. The capsule is arriving at it's destination, I get off and wait for him to follow me... I notice is not moving and he tells me it's all black... Oh ho... not good!!! As I was about to tell him not to move, he does and disappears! My poor bud experienced the falling through the planet bug! lol... So, he suicides himself... gets out of the hospital while I head back to Aspire Grand to pick him up. Once there, we get him some meds (which I forgot to tell him to take the first time around) and off we are again to NBIS. This time proves to be the right one because we make it alive, against all odds, both of us! I get my Mercury Night Runner (MSR with the Nightrunner paint) out and we take off, after giving him a tour of the ship, which proved to be a good thing... keep reading! Of course I'm in the pilot seat, him in the co-pilot seat and we chat, I explain some aspect of the game and all that stuff you know, all the things a noob needs to know, right! And then... BHAM... Crash to Desktop! God damn... he sees me disappear but he is still in my ship! I try to log back in as quickly as I can, but I'm getting an error message and I need to verify my files... Damn it!!! Too late... my ship explodes and he, of course, dies! I finally manage to get back into the game, and guess what, I wake up in Grim Hex with, you guessed it... a lvl2 crime stat (CS)! Yup, all because I "CTD'ed"! lol... So, I decide to go get back to MT, at the pick up site, because I was not going near NB with a crime stat, no sir! I get out of my ship and recon the derelict outpost site, in the pitch black night of MT. I was hoping to get some bad guys but nope, not a single baddy was present. I pick up the package while my buddy was on its way to meet me. It was a really cool site watching him get closer to me until it was time to land! Oh Bay has he got some learning to do! lol... He manages to blow the starboard wing of his Titan (3d spatial awareness, you know!) by hitting a tree top! It was so funny watching him! lol... Anyway, I digress... back on topic! So I keep laughing at him while he tries to land his ship... took him a good 3-4 minutes to land! Once he has landed and was out of his ship, we finally meet up and band together. We move towards the outpost in the hopes of finding some loot so he can equip his character! Well, of course not... this this was as dry as Sahara desert in July!!! After that, we then proceeded back to our ships and seeing at the state of his ship, we decided it would be best to hop in mine to complete the delivery to, yeah, you guessed, on of NB rooftops! So, we go to MT, with my CS and all, to the building roof top for the drop off. We manage to finish the mission and each got the 2k promised for delivering the box but, I'm still stuck with my CS2! We leave the roof and head out for an undisclosed location, I land my ship and ask him to shoot me... which he did (and I'm sure he enjoyed it, the bastard)! I woke up in prison this morning! So yeah, thanks buddy for the CS2 and the trip to prison! lol... |
