I hope to get on today around 15:00 to finish sorting out my bindings (yet again).

I won't be on until you're in to your third tequilla.


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

I popped in Team Speak after work but didn't see you guys so did other things. Hope I didn't miss good hunting.

I will be off and on tonight. I have my son so ya never know. Will anyone be on after 7 eastern tonight? I got some rank to gain. I'll be hunting in Exioce most likely, so drop on by. Fowler Orbital in Dvorsi next door is the staging base

Zoom zoom.

OK, do you work in the AM?

I want to get some combat in this evening, just not sure I will. If I do I'll pop in to TS first.

Negative, off tomorrow. I’m just meandering around your neighborhood taking missions and killing stuff, so if you make it on, cool. If not, I imagine I’ll stick around here anyway for awhile. Good to get away from Shin D and see other places. Plus, it’ll help me with my Imp rank.

I'm itching to fly some combat hops but the boy is out playing with his friends and I can't disappear in to the headset. I'll be on at some point.

Yeah, you're in Empire territory now. No stinkin' Feds allowed round these parts. It's a good system for raw mats, as I've mentioned too many times. Exioce is much better hunting. Another station in Dvorsi is actually a little better, Chernykh Ring, which has better outfitting than Fowler. But I never moved.

That was a hell of a good time. Such massive firepower in the other three ships, and me just carving arcs around the battle. So many times I found myself 7 km distant in a blink, and then boosted back in to it before you guys killed the target. I was really surprised by how I absorbed the blows my ship took from much larger ones. Only once did I lose a ring, and that was from collision, otherwise this little ship is proving amazingly survivable in combat.

It's really fun to be flying these boosted arcs where I am 'inverted' in relation to the battle, just peering out of the top of the canopy as the ship comes around. And it seemed useful at times to have one ship in the group that could chase down jumpers. Anyway, that was fun, see ya next time.

Got some more bounty hunting in with Bo just now. In all I turned in 13m in bounties, but that's over a few sessions.

I had left my ship floating in the RES last night, and then just kept fighting in it today. I forgot about the tiny fuel tank I mounted to maximize the smash and I nearly ran dry. If I had kept fighting for 20 minutes more I would have. I've yet to run out of fuel in Elite and don't want to start now.
