    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    They finally put pips back on costumes. Though it doesn't update them when you get promoted to Lieutenant.

    I am somewhat frustrated that while it doesn't save characters in progress of creating... it does show you the one you were working on until you reconnect. So you are confronted with what you had the whole time.

    So I pre-ordered off Amazon last night, havent gotten my Beta Key yet.

    Sent them an e-mail last night and thismorning. The reply I got back said to wait till tomorrow at midnight before complaining again.

    Impulse engines definitely feel much too slow in space. I got disconnected in the tutorial and it reset my ship position to the entrance of that section, but my objectives remained current. It took me a good 2-3 minutes to fly from the start to where the USS Renown was positioned behind the asteroid. I was getting bored just flying there.

    I pressed the "E" key until the slider was completely full. Is that the same thing?

    no, there is a faster speed than that, click the little button on top of the slider (i forget what hotkey for it), it only works when not in combat and you go zoom zoom

    Nope , click on the arrow on top of the speed slider, that drops you into full impulse, this will drastically increase your speed while reducing manueverability, offense and defense. Use it to get close to the battle but come out of full impulse before getting within 10Km.

    I imagine space gets pretty boring with the whole.. lots of space.. thing. Don't really need ADD.

    Would've been nice if they had mentioned this in the tutorial. All they said was E for fast, Q for slow. No mention of max impulse.

    ok, so the game LAUNCHER says page cannot be displayed. I think this is less about lots of people cramming into their servers and more like someone pissed on the servers.

    K another quick space travel question:

    I just got back into the game. Before the disconnect, I was on the mission to defeat the Active Drones. When I got back in, it placed me on the map with the Disabled Drones. How do I hyperspace back to the Active ones like they automatically did for me when I reached that point in the mission?


    Also, I did try pressing the max impulse button and yes, that's exactly the speed I was looking for. Thanks for the tip.
