The Nerdiest Thread of All Time

[Palerider_GB]

I'm still low level...

Not really been playing for long.

The account names "Vreltai" (It's the wifes account) and the character name is "Palerider"

[Cerebral_Wolf]

My internets down at the moment, there's a problem with the phoneline it seems so im hooking up via someone elses wireless network at the moment. Once my nets back up fulltime i'll sort you out some stuff.

What you playing? Tac?... Escort?..

[Palerider_GB]

What you playing? Tac?... Escort?..

Er.... whut?

Really I have no Idea what the hell I'm doing...

[Cerebral_Wolf]

What class you playing as and what ship class you gonna take?

[Palerider_GB]

I'm playing as engineer and at the moment I've only got the little escort ship you start with. I'll be honest, it probably wont be worth you sending me any stuff. Because the wife doesn't play it we'll close her account and I'll open my own...

Which will mean starting again...

[Cerebral_Wolf]

No worries, the first 11 levels are the worst in the game, the games a hell of a lot better once you get out the shitty miranda.

[Palerider_GB]

I'm quite liking the shitty little miranda... I'm literally flying rings around Klingon battleships.


...until they blow me to smithereens.

[Cerebral_Wolf]

Wait till you get an escort or something. <3

Watched an episode of the old X Men cartoon today and the old Spiderman and remembered just how awesome they are!
None of this Ben-10 or Dorah The Explorer crap they have nowadays.

Seen the new DLC escort they added? I almost wet myself its so awesome.

its expensive to buy though but fuck it.. its too cool not to, right?

[Palerider_GB]

I don't think I'll be switching accounts now.

Been promoted to lieutenent commander now and don't fancy starting again from scratch. I've asked them if it's possible to rename the account, though I'm not to fussed if I can't.

Got an escort at the minute... I haven't looked in the shop at all yet.

Loving this now that I've gotten round to mapping the controls to a 360 controller. It makes the combat much more intuitive (for me anyway). It was just a pain having to map all the buttons manually using the /bind command in the text window.

How'd you do that? You need a adapter for the pc?

Yup. Just plug in a wired controller and away you go. Well, almost. As I said you still need to map the controls to the pad. Ther's a useful thread here.

It takes a bit to get your head around it but once you do it's a doddle.

edit: if you prefer you can buy a wireless adapter for your PC here that will let you use a wireless pad.
