Cheers for the heads up on the Yaw/Roll keys shift, works a treat, just got to chop off my left middle finger as i keep throttling up all the time (muscle memory sucks sometimes).

HOTAS? Maybe when they are back in stock for the thrustmaster x but still farting about in the trsining missions for now because of 16 hour days at work, tho come the weekend i might get an hour or 3 spare

I got bored of the trading so I just sold my transporter and put some upgrades on the Viper and went shooting.

Still need to learn my controls especially for FSD interdicting others. Can't seem to "fire" it when I want.
I set it to a 2nd fire group on button 1 but seems I have to hit my right mouse button to use it??

After selling the Type 6, I bought another Hauler......Yes a hauler!

The type 6 was awful to fly and I found the short run trading not so rewarding.

So I bought the hauler again and stripped it out and installed 16 cargo slots.
Max jump of 24lys and with 16tonnes about 16lys.

So I'm back trading rares and I find it much more rewarding even tho its not the most efficient method.

Anyway some strange things happened in space tonight, after returning from a rare run, I sold off my two types of cargo and made 240k, only to find I still had 5 cargo slots filled with Illegal narcotics??? uh?

My laptop is off being fixed bought in December and now suffering from an iffy display, which will come back briefly after suspend/unsuspend

In ED I now have Type-7, Asp and Cobra, all A rated

I stuffed 4 turret beams on the T7, if anyone interdicts me and I target them they get a hammering whilst I run away lol

When the new ships come in 1.2 the Cobra will likely be replaced with a Vulture!

Just got Cities Skylines the other day. It's a bit like sim city. Seems pretty good so far. Making the traffic work when the city gets bigger is tricky

And? How did you get on with this? Been looking again but don't know if I should take the plunge yet or wait for their latest project to hit the shelves.

I just couldnt wait any longer, the due date for final release keeps moving back...I got a DK2 and it's not bad at all, worth the money getting s/h (I paid £260 for as new s/h), not sure I could justify the £400 or thereabouts for brand new...

Takes some fiddling but runs good on my laptop 970m gfx, the biggest issue I have is with getting used to a Hotas after using the KB/M for so long...still messing with the controls and with voice attack...

Not played more than 6 hours on it so far though, not got the time right now...but I don't regret buying it, just takes some time to get right and getting used to
