Re: King of Chocolate Biscuits

I don't particularly like chocolate biscuits, except Jaffa Cakes, though I guess they can't be on the list as they were legaly defined as cakes.

Re: Elite Dangerous

The Anaconda even with fully engineered drives really feels like a BIG boat compared to anything else. Flying with flight assist on you can still easily end up drifting a long way past your intended target. Federal Corvette feels like a way smaller ship than it is. Just crap jump range. Plus you ha...

Re: Elite Dangerous

Re: Elite Dangerous

This sounds good to me, what's Robigo? Robigo Mines was a cash cow a while back, before it was nerfed. You could stack 99 smuggling missions (slaves mostly!) and earn a good payout. Fun too, getting chased by the cops for 400 LY. But sadly some folks didn't think it was in the spirit of the game (g...

Yeah - Tour of Duty was ace.

I remember a hilarious article in some computer mag about the show, might have been written by Charlie Brooker?

They probably asked their banks to remove their details, only TSB beat them to it.

Re: Elite Dangerous

Also - buy ships that are going to EARN you money, not because they look cool or any of that crap.

The FDL earned me over a billion.

Re: Elite Dangerous

It does require patience, but I just head for the star and then slow down once so that it is refuelling at the max it can do without overheating and do something else for a couple of mins. I believe you can refuel quicker if you're moving faster but it seems like a minimal gain compared to my metho...
