Space The Final Fron.....Naaaaa
Today was a great day in space and it's time to make some things clear.
Time heals all wounds and depending on the maturity level of the people involved the time can be significantly cut down. Now, that being said; I was not going to say anything to
Ghostrider (you see he is now with a friendly color? This will be explained) for shooting me. It happens. I mentioned how I tried to kill my wing man before. Like actively tried to kill him. I was new and had no awareness of what I was really doing. The thing that set the whole situation into motion was the comment, "Is there a problem?" Fighting words if I ever heard them.
Ok, now we have a little back story so let's move on to the outcome. I will always post in the flight log and love when people post here. The community is second to none and taking a look at what little ol' me writes is a wonderful and positive thing.
I saw
Ghostrider loggin in. I had my mind set on not being rude in any way because the last thing I want to be is a toxic imprint in the Verse. I was down on a planet and using my Terrain Walker. I found a Plat mining beam and was super pumped to find 5 million on the surface of a planet! Well, in my haste and as you can see from the flight log...I type slower than I think and even after a proof reading or three I still miss my grammical mistakes
I typed in chat, "HOLY CRAP I just found a play mining beam on this planet!"
Hahahahhaa, O, man.....The boys jumped on that. All making comments about what it played and what not. The hazing was on point. Everything you would expect from a group of space junkies.
Ghostrider even joined in. This was good. I saw it as an oppertunity to show that I was not going to be toxic to him without actually approaching him verbally or in space. I just mentioned how they where all over that mistake and laughed.
He asked me if I was still mad. This was the oppertunity I needed to explain why I was mad at all. I love flying with new pilots and he is by no means new but I expect to be shot and ran into. All how we learn. Hurt a friend and feel it more than hurting ourselves. Human nature. I told him that it was not the gun but the, "Is there a problem?" Comment. Well.......how do you think he responded? He said he was sorry and that he is just an old fart that says things wrong sometimes. HOLD THE PHONE. This showed instant maturity. I told him that I was just a young hot head. Then we flowed with banter of young and old. As of now, my only problem in space is the Vonari.
It was a slow day mostly. I didn't get half of what I wanted done. I was in my ship for no less than ten hours and didn't do one WZ mission. I have only 19 points left to get my Chimmy. *sniffle*...so close and yet so far. Only far because space was filled with commradery. I spent 90% of my time in space with
Waniac. He is on his second day and I have to say if he had a solid link to the verse he would be no less than a thousand percent farther.
We flew to Rucker and bulit Hunter frames and compared notes. A great aspect of building your ship is they will almost never be the same.
Rubber Chicken and I built legacy's one time and they where almost identical. Made me giggle. All the options and we had one mind. Instant friends.
Wayniac, is one of those pilots that doesn't want the world out the gate. He has fun doing mission and learning to do everything his frame can. Impressive considering how easy it is to ask any one of a hundred pilots how to do something and move on quickly. (My Hunter was better btw BAHHAHAHAAH j/k)
The young pilot has yet to kill his first ship. I took the Hunter frame and flew around Rucker killing stuff. I was waayyy suprised with it's capabilities. A great little frame and pleanty of hardpoints. You can set that frame up so you can take part in every type of quest and still have four missiles. You can even updrade the shield to 9 if you use 500 units of fuel. Eight if you roll with a grand of fuel. Stylish too. BUT....it does not compare to Betsy. That Leviathan frame is still my favorite civ frame. As far as the Hunter,
Wayniac will be wrecking the opposition soon.
Space was full of this and that but ended on a great note. Come to find out
Akuma is quite the fighter pilot.
Caleb logged on and sent a universe wide, friendly, PvP challenge.
Akuma was all over it. Hearing them banter made me have to go and get involved. I'm nosey like that. Well.....eventaully every pilot in space was in the Tailson WZ watching the fights and I even took a turn.
Caleb in his shrike and
Akuma in his Legacy. I myself was in that first Evoch ship you get at 100 points.
Caleb and
Akuma went a couple rounds and Akuma impressively landed final blows. That legacy was putting in work. I offered to go and
Akuma obliged. I am not a distance runner. This fight was taking forever. At one point I should of died but due to my speed I could continue on my path and heal up. Dirty. Pass after pass. Excalibur pack launch.....reload....launch...reload. I forfeited and bowed a head to
Akuma. No matter how you cut it he had me. I can't see how those high speed passes are fun. Maybe when I get my inertial management down and can follow up with the downed shields. PvP in the future for sure.
If you have a frame and are not in space.....you are missing out.

Side Note:
PaulB was kind enough to answer some questions I had about rep in MP. One thing is still fuzzy.
IF I try to fix my rep in MP while in MP can I eventually fix a system? All of my flying is in MP. Crossing over to SP is not the question
"Can, I fix faction standing in a multiplayer system?"
Reply's and debates are welcome at all times. hahaha
