Sulky and I jumped on SC last night, basically having nothing else to do. We were quickly joined by Sithy, Gal and Sneaky.

Sithy offered up a quick tutorial on how to call an appropriate ship and fly it to a safe R&R station.

So sulks and me jumped in a Pisces, took off, jumped to the station and landed :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

I was so, so happy. My excitement for this game is back. No, it's not optimised and it's buggy in places but the simple act of flying a ship with keyboard and mouse with simple control inputs was a sheer joy.

Thank you, Sithy. I'm hooked :thumb:

I couldn't be happier seeing/ hearing that kind of joy for the game Oldie and Sulky! It makes the hours Galatoni and I have sweat out some of the most tremendous bugs all worth it!

Flight school is about 40minutes long (if things go normalish) so let me know if anyone else would like to give it a go!

Once everyone gets that initial push to the R&R station and can comfortably repeat the process, I'll look to hosting a full on multi crew mission experience! :D

I had a brief dalliance with SC ages ago under Lib's guiding eye. Managed to do a few missions and land my ship. I may join you for a refresher.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

Interesting I have finally managed to get the launcher to work and now have the updates to download.

Really glad people haven't completely lost hope with it. Was a pleasure to see people on. Patch that should sort out the worst of the remaining issues should land on Friday as the fleet week starts.

Is there any sort of persistence? Can I work to buy a new ship, for example? I'd jump on for a go if so...

@chaos, not in the way of buying ships, best you can do is buy armour, weapons, clothing and armour is some of the things you can buy from shops. You can also now look at buying part for your ships, maybe get some bigger laser for one of your ships.


Had a brilliant night last night. Was able to play with sith gal and later was joined by lib last night. We Started out with sith and gal showing me some missions, first went a bit wrong but second one went very nicely, we went back to a port in the hoplite. When we got there we started to do some shopping and get some food and drink since they was running low. Lib came and joined us so we took out a freelancer and heading off to go and see a new planet with a research base on. The planet was beautiful, seeing the snow slowing us down as we walked around the planet surface before going off to the dark side of the plant to find the base. The base was a basic one with 3 building and a little trade hut there. Hearing as seeing the wind was crazy as it slowed us all down when we walked into it but when we walked with it then we was able to run instead of only walking. Sith and gal I think it was got a distress message from a luxury liner request help due to them being boarded. We ran to the ship and took off to see if this was a real thing and we was amazed to these the ships there asking for help, it had two 2 red (ships that I can’t remember the name of) that we had to defeat before getting close to the ship. I though the mission would be over when them ships died but it kept going. He had to space walk over to the ship, find a door that opens and get inside it. We saw the enemy inside hiding and shooting at us. Got a few kills before one guy did a weird jump in the air and killed me but none the less this was awesome to be a part of!!

Sorry for the walk of text, write it while at work XD sorry !

There's _some_ persistence. But no, If you're solely trying to work-towards something i'd say it's not ready for you just yet. That said, if you did want to have a look around what's available - go for it.

Ha. Glad you enjoyed the evening Rogue. Probably not helped by the inventory bug I was suffering, but would love to do that again. Was a cracking evening.

Cheers guys, I think I will wait.

I feel like it probably has one chance to grab me, so I will wait for the right time.
