Wow... you guys are too nice... in SFC3, you would hear things like... " what, you couldn't see the F#($ing Sun right in front of you" ... "want some cheese with that wine?"... "DUH!"... "Shut up and fly your ship"  or my favorite... "it's part of the game!" 

I still remember my first "Near Miss" with a friendly astroid... funniest thing I can remember about the game... worst thing is.. the other team got points for me killing myself!!!!

Bonk is right... It ain't worth it, if you are not having fun.

I'm confused. 

Is TT actually pissed off here?

There is random terrain in some of these missions.

Always check your in-game map. Always be aware of your surroundings.

Its a game fer pete's sake people.

I feel like loggin in, self destructing repeatedly and flying around in a freighter losing mission after mission just to show people that I will still have fun... once I get down to zero PP and freighter working my way back up will be a challenge.

In fact I think I will.

I've been wracking my brain over SNMP,WMI and MRTG all afternoon and my last brain cell is about to pop... I think its time to play, what to do with the hundreds of browser tabs I have open though? hmmm there's a firefox plugin that will remember them all, sort of like a VC workspace... must look into that sometime.

I noticed the sun doesn't always appear on the ingame map (I've never seen it), you have to use your visual scanning and watch for unaccounted for damage, not to mention the gravity. It's about as bad as invisible asteroids.

I did just that, and you know what? I had the most fun I've had on this server yet. It was a hoot. Playing the trucker role with CB style talk and all. Krueg captured my first freighter, snagged himself a shipment of hot green slave girls destined for earth. It was a fun mission Krueg, lots of silly jokes. <S> I ran a couple co-ops with Tekwarrior and he seemed to get a few good chuckles out of my antics. I never did meet up with Dfly as planned, Krueg drafted me on the way to the the target hex and I kept getting drafted so we never met up.  Fear the Space Truck Dfly! Your day will come!    I ran a solo mission and almost won it but for one little bugger of a Rom escort that cloaked and wouldn't come out. The one phaser 3 I had left could not break the cloak... after 40 minutes I went to bed and left the mission running, going for a longest mission record, expecting to find the Rom still cloaked in the morning, but the dang power went out overnight and I didn't get a screenshot of what was probably the longest D2 mission ever! Oh well... next time. DH and I discussed the idea of specialised freighter missions.

It was fun, I laughed. Dont take yourself seriously, take a page from the book of Chuut, I have never seen that fellow seriously unhappy about playing a game and role that he enjoys. 

P.S. Exellent job on the mosh pit Dizzy, no points for PvP kills and no disengagment rule there made it perfect for such chicanery.

LOL, Bonk.

I surely know that it's not worthy, but perhaps you will allow my humble, little F-BCF to accompagny you in your space truckin' travels. We might even take down an enemy BCH or too. I will, of course, hope that your freighter absolutely wails on those bad guy BCHs, so that the F-BCF can stand a fighting chance.

Using F5 to toggle the camera lock on your target can help in looking around too. (as well as using F4 and F3 to toggle between normal and reverse views on your target)

Hehe... all shall cower in fear before The Mighty Space Truck!

Hey, you need a real Bad Boy Truck horn to go with your space truck, so that you can infect as an audio virus in your enemy's bridge computers to serronade them while in combat.
