Captain's log: 2952-08-01-001
Well, well, well... In the now "ongoing" series of "Dogwing's (mis)adventures in Star Citizen", here is a recap of this morning's play session! I logged in as usual on ARC-L1 and decided I wanted to try mining in 3.17.2. So, I head out of my spawning bed and realize I need fluid. I proceed to open my inventory (because now, with some hard learned lessons, I always carry some bottles of some sort on me) and right-click on a bottle to drink... No can do though, the game won't let me drink it but since, I'm on a station, I head down to the food court, and buy two delicious beverages to up my fluid level to around 80%. Time to head to the ASOP terminal to call my Prospector, and sure enough, there she is sitting in my assigned hangar. I quickly climb aboard and launch my take off procedure. I'm finally ready to take off and ask for permission, which the ATC provides me and I launched into the vast blackness of space! As soon as I clear the hangar's doors... BHAM!!! CTD!!! Oh well... So I decide to log back in and I was expecting to be either in the hospital of the station bed. Surprise, surprise! None of this... I am floating in space!!! lol... So, I turn around and see my ship below me and then proceed to board it with no issue! Once in my ship, I open my map to find out that I'm not at ARC-L1 as I thought I would be but... in the middle of the system! Ok, no biggie, I have enough QT fuel to get to anywhere I need so I head back to ARC-L1. Once on ARC-L1, I plot a course to my regular mining spot in the Belt and I get there without problem. Now, time to get down to business! I start pinging the area for rocks. I find a few contact and I start heading for them but... what is happening, my ship is barely moving! I'm thinking what the hell is broken this time! So, I hopped in 3rd person view and apply forward thrust... good, at least my engines are working! I orbit around my ship and the reverse thrusters are "also" working! I checked my settings in the option menu but nothing is wrong, they are all good! Well, only one thing to do, I bed log out of the game to see if it will fix it! Ok, so back in the game, in my ship, all is good... or so I thought! Or actually, I was hoping all was good! I hop in the pilot seat, power up the ship and start pinging for rocks. Well, that's funny, where are all the rocks? I mean, I "see" rocks but not a single one is mineable!!! What the hell is wrong this time? So I test my thrusters and sure enough, they work as intended! Ok, so back to the bed to log out! Ok, so back in the game for the what? The fourth time now! Frankly. I lost count at this point! Back in my ship, all is good... for now! Back in the pilot seat, power up the ship, test the thrusters, they work fine, test the pinging, all good, mineable rocks are back! I'm like, yeah, finally... but, sadly, no!!! After the 3rd or 4th rock I scanned, POUFF!!! Yep, you guessed it... my ship despawned on me, leaving me yet again floating in space but my ship was nowhere to be found! I asked for help in chat and create a rescue beacon. A nice pilot came to my rescue and picked my up to give me ride to the nearest station! I thanked him, got off his ship and guess what? Because no, it couldn't stop there, could it... oh no... SC was not done with me yet! I get to the elevator, call up the interaction key and... no circle to interact with the elevator panel! So, after all this, I just fuckin' rage quit the game, went upstairs to make myself a coffee and enjoy it on the patio outside, with my GF, my dog and the nice sunshine! So, hopefully tomorrow will be better! lol...
