So much win. I nominate you as the Director of Stimulated Moving Logo Analysis.

I mean simulated of course.

Honestly it does have a male sexual look too it. I noticed it too the first time I saw it but I was to shy to say anything.

2.1 rolled out to PTU last night. Flyable Freelancer, updated Vanguard, and Sabre in-hangar. They're starting to really move on these ships.

Alas...no invite. :(

JSt0rm you are welcome to join the Ballers its possible you may enjoy the game.
All I ask is don't be negative Nancy.

I agree the Balls are too big. Gorobei has an interesting idea.

1.) He's a goon
2.) While I don't think having big balls is a bad thing, I agree, our new minister has a proposal that takes it to the next level.

I thought that was the whole point (pun intended).

AT Ballers

You gotta have balls to be in the 'verse.

You gotta have balls to be in this org (not literally, figuratively)

I got an invite. Again, I have no idea why. I don't Issue Council. I don't have anything special. I'm not an early backer.

I'm gonna give it a go though (mainly to see if things are better for me....2.0 live was a major step backward for my experience but also because I want to sneak aboard a Freelancer and get a peek) .

Had a pretty fun experience on 2.1 today.

It's very buggy, lots of FPS drops, but I didn't have any problems getting in and was able to play for over 20 minutes before crashing to desktop. That's a record for me.

I was able to sneak aboard a Freelancer before take off. It's much more roomy on the inside than I thought....and well detailed. Views from the cockpit are nice. There are four seats but only two appear to be functional at the moment....both were taken so I stood as we took off and QD'd away. Nice views. But then the pilot/owner must have crashed to desktop because I instantly found myself floating in space, KMs away from anything.

Got my Titan stolen from me too....which is annoying.

Also had a pirate in a Super Hornet kamikaze into me.

Definitely progress being made.

I snuck into a constellation before launch and flew around in it for a while. Eventually he had a bad quantum jump and left me behind. It was fun to play around with the isolated physics and be his gunner for a bit.

Cool. I'm looking forward to checking out my space truck!


Also can't wait to check out the work on the Vanguard. Looks like it got a nice interior upgrade (I was really hoping it would).

And a huge improvement in the cockpit:

The only bummer I've heard of with 2.1 is that decoupled doesn't work in super-cruise. I hope they get that fixed quickly because it's the best defense for big ships against the light fighters. Kick it into overdrive - - decouple - - spin around to get forward facing fire on opponent while he chases.
