Musings.

I've made Competent in combat.




This is either a blessing or a curse depending on your view. While it seems I do get interdicted a lot less by NPC's, the ones that do interdict me are leaning a lot more toward Dangerous, Deadly and Elite rankings.

It was a curse the other night as I was interdicted by an Elite Anaconda who proceeded to one shot me. I chalked it up as a learning experience as I no longer immediately turn to face the interdictor as soon as I drop out of Super Cruise.

I'm currently back to exploring as I get time to play and just bouncing around random systems in settled space.

I have also been shopping around, looking for a Hotas  joystick. The only ones I can find in my area are the high end ones. Even looking on Amazon etc....the low end Hotas are being way overpriced....... 78.00+42.00 shipping from Italy to 199.99 USD domestic for the entry level Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick . I suppose I will just keep utilizing my Xbox controller as it works sufficiently for now. I refuse overpay for something due to the supply being bought up and re-priced.

It seems patch 1.2 will bring us two new ships the Fer De Lance and the Vulture. I'm looking forward to both even though I most likely will not be able to afford either. Any addition to the game at this point does nothing but make it better and more interesting.

I still haven't forgotten about that entry level trade write up and am slowly working on putting it together.


Until next time .....
