@Diddums joined me in the vast tranquillity of space, last night. We spawned together at Port Olisar, a base in the Stanton system. I took Didds to the gun shop and he bought himself a nice assault rifle. As my ship, the awesome Drake Cutlass can take a crew, we decided to take it out and put Diddums into the turret. First mistake here in that I didn’t show him how to use work the turret guns properly. So when we hyper spaced into a mission objective, I was busy trying to explain that, and didn’t heed the pirates who went on to attack and destroy my ship. Schoolboy error So, we respawned back at Port Olisar and this time I took my Drake, while Diddums called up his Mustang Alpha ship. Hilarity here. Didds had a little trouble controlling his ship and had to eject after it became a little damaged. Fortunately, he was able to space walk to my ship and enter via the rear cargo hold. Back in my Drake, with Diddums now familiar with the turret gun. We did a couple of fetch and carry missions and ended up at a planet called Daymar. There appeared to be some other players here involved in some grief. Obviously, with Diddums on board, we couldn’t sit idly by while action was happening that we weren’t part of, so we got involved. Some of the other players had left their ships and were traversing the planet on space bikes. Well, that was short lived, as it turns out Diddums is an excellent turret shot. They tried shooting my ship with their rifles but my shields were more than a match. We left behind two dead players, their bikes and their destroyed ship. We also visited the pirate base on Grim Hex asteroid field and somehow managed to get a crime stat against us, for poor parking I think, before flying back to Port Olisar to store the ship and log out. Until next time…

I'm loving playing solo and have no plans to go multiplayer until I hit level 30. Lvl 13 on PS4 and Lvl 6 on PC. It's not difficult on solo but you do need to concentrate. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

One final update on this is that a certain Mr @Diddums managed to find me a monitor from his workplace, and then delivered to my house, in a feck off big pink van, none other than a 27 inch ASUS ROG Swift, full of 1440p 144hz goodness. Thank you so much you absolute beauty

@Diddums @GazzaGarratt @Plumbers Crack @tronic44 @crispymorgan @BO7H B4RRELS and anyone else interested, let me have your thoughts. We need: a name, and need to decide what our primary and secondary activities are going to be (freelancers, bounty hunters, piracy, smuggling, exploration, mining, etc etc) organisation archetype whether the system should consider our organization as a roleplaying organization a short phrase or slogan for our organization (this will be used as our organization tagline) Check the link below and select 'create' to view the options. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/orgs

Indeed, and it's a very interesting England team right now with lots of support/cover for all positions. Dier getting a knock and replaced by Barkley who helped liven up the pace, was a good example of that. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I will hold you to that. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Another awesome write up. You have patience I can only dream of[emoji39] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

That's annoying but yeah I'm going to give it a swerve too, based on that. Turns out the Metro Exodus is not a great port from console, you can't even rebind keys... Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Now that the base game is in a decent state and files released to modders, we're starting to see a lot of things happening and some old faces return to the game. Still early days, but it's starting to look good for the old DayZ vibe. The DevildogGamer has even started his own community server.

Tried a few laps in the Honda and then the Nissan, Nissan was a better drive. 1:57.964 i is the nest from about 8 laps so far. Can definitely get more time off that once I learn the track better. Awesome track IMO. It's a very enjoyable game for me at the moment, and the move to manual gears (loving that 1st gear around tight corners) and bonnet cam is starting to pay off.

Yep, and Crispy's curvy suggestion is also decent[emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

It be 29.99 at the moment. It gets released in a week's time.

I had the Lexus as a freebie, and it's a decent car but I also bought both the Honda and the Nissan. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

The Division probably, though I've now got both of them [emoji41] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I've recently started to like GR2 so I'm looking forward to this. I've been going round the new track in the Honda as it was a daily race last week. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

This is released in a week or so. Being a sucker for survival games, it will no doubt finds its away into my Steam library at some point. Another lame DayZ clone, or something with new ideas? We'll see...looks good in the footage I've seen so far.

That was an unexpected issue, as my Windows was OEM, and Microsoft don't allow transfer of Windows where there has been a significant hardware change (motherboard specifically). Microsoft do allow you to use Windows if you have the software installed (I'm still using the same SSD), but won't allow personalisation and has an ever present message on the screen, even in games, asking you to activate Windows. Fortunately, I found that I could buy a license key from a seller on Amazon for £5 which would activate W10 Pro. I bought it and it didn't turn out to be a scam

That made me laugh out loud[emoji23] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

When I heard that back, it was what I imagined America was like when I was a little boy[emoji23] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
