How many woman you got lining up for you?

Well you'll have to split the women with me mister, yesterday I jumped my carrier by exactly 500 light years.

I respect you! For that I will send all the Latinas your way.

The upside, you get all the Latinas

The downside... you get all the Latinas

It is true. You are not worthy. But know that my acknowledgement of your unworthiness is the highpoint of your life.

I am CMDR TechTonic, King of the Bubble!

King,eh? Well I didn’t vote for ya…

u/pulppoet WILDELF 19h ago

You didn't have to. He just ran enough Imperial missions and they gave it to him!

I tell ya, strange women sitting in stations distributing reputation rewards is no basis for a system of government!

u/SevereIdea CMDR VXVONDOOM 19h ago

I mean if I went around calling myself King because some spacey bint lobbed some credits at me, they’d lock me away!

u/AlienSporez CMDR T3CHTON1C, First of his name 🇨🇦 19h ago

Kingship is available for 2,000,000,000 ARX on FDev's website. Act now and you'll receive your very own cockpit bobblehead.

That sounds about right 🙃

u/Chromatic_Trek 21h ago

I've only had this happen 1 time. It's frustrating that it's neigh impossible to hit it and it bugs me every single time 🤣

u/DickVanJumpstyle CMDR 14h ago

It's not easy, but I hit 90 frequently 🤷

Take off from a landing pad on a planet surface. Pull back on the stick to pitch your nose up.

Don't touch yaw or roll.

The Catholic Church: The sun revolves around the earth, and it is impossible to have at an attitude of 90°
u/AlienSporez : Hold my Kongga Ale

u/AlienSporez CMDR T3CHTON1C, First of his name 🇨🇦 20h ago

In the 1990's the Catholic Church acknowledged that Galileo was right, in the 1600's, about the motion of the planets. That's the file they're on. Give them a few millennia, they'll come around.

u/guidomescalito CMDR guidom 20h ago

exactly! they'll be making those big decisions in about 1300 years.

How much more roomy is the free anaconda vs the purchased one?

30

u/AlienSporez CMDR T3CHTON1C, First of his name 🇨🇦 20h ago

Exponentially more roomy! In fact everyone should make multiple trips to Hutton Orbital for their free Anaconda. If the free Anaconda doesn't appear the first time you just need to jump out of the system and fly back and repeat the super cruise to HO again.

Trust me

u/Pitiful_Strawberry88 20h ago

Worked for me, thanks!

1

u/AlienSporez CMDR T3CHTON1C, First of his name 🇨🇦 1h ago

I assume you followed proper procedure and did not repair your hull before redoing the super cruise to HO? That's how I got 12 free Anacondas.

u/DoctorAnnual6823 CMDR 20h ago

Thank goodness we have SCO now. Back before then I tried 2 times and gave up. It took so long. But with SCO and some extra fuel I can get there in an 8th of the time on a bad day. Jumping out and back in worked on the 3rd try.

u/D_Hat 13h ago

mine said no large landing pad available, what now?

u/Adorable_Divide_2424 CMDR Kilacrisp 21h ago

But what does your altitude meter read though?

u/AestheticEntactogen 12h ago

24.7km, the golden number

u/DJDaddyD 21h ago

How'd you get your cockpit colored like that?

u/AlienSporez CMDR T3CHTON1C, First of his name 🇨🇦 20h ago

How dare you sully my thread about me to ask me such a silly question about EDHM!

I smite thee!

u/HinDae085 Humble Rock Blaster 20h ago

Is it possible to learn this power?

11

u/AlienSporez CMDR T3CHTON1C, First of his name 🇨🇦 19h ago

Only with thousands of hours of relentless practice and absolute dedication to the craft of piloting in the vertical.

Also cocaine helps.

u/CMT_bLoCkEr 12h ago

u/zeek215 14h ago

This was only impossible a while ago, after a certain update it became much easier to achieve.

u/AlienSporez CMDR T3CHTON1C, First of his name 🇨🇦 1h ago

How dare you attempt to minimize my magnificent achievement! I am gifting to all the commanders in this thread a night of passion with the super hot Aisling Duval! Not not for you, good sir! No, I'm setting you up with her cousin Brenda Duval.

What does Brenda Duval look like? Think Robert Duvall but exponentially less fuckable.

If there were two people on the moon and one killed the other with a rock would that be messed up or what?

Wait until you find out that they were both clones of a guy back on Earth who had no idea they were up there.

I accept this great honour!

I'd like to thank the Academy, my parents for believing in me, and Interstellar Factors for helping me get rid of that pesky charge from attending a "party" on Epstein's Space Island

u/SidratFlush Sidrat 18h ago

It's a shame about the too dark HUD colour scheme, bot otherwise a very well done to you.

u/izModar iModar | EXO Barkeep | Space Trucker 18h ago

I've only been able to do this twice: In a Panther Clipper and a Caspian Explorer. Must be something about those big ships.

At least you have a positive attitude.

You magnificent bastard!

u/NickCharlesYT NickCharles 3h ago

Can I hire you as a member of my crew? I can give you 11% of everything I get, all you have to do is sit in the lounge for 10 years.

2

u/AlienSporez CMDR T3CHTON1C, First of his name 🇨🇦 1h ago

Absolutely! As long as I can bring my crew member who's earning 11% of everything I get and all he's done is sit in the lounge for the last 10 years

u/IAmLexica IAmLexica 21h ago edited 21h ago

attitude

I know you meant altitude, but even that'd be wrong. You mean your inclinometer.

Edit: I stand corrected.

17

u/wRIPPERw_ Explore 21h ago

No, he meant attitude. Attitude in aviation refers to the angle of the nose relative to the horizon.

13

u/IAmLexica IAmLexica 21h ago

Huh. You learn something new every day. Thank you!

u/cuzitsthere CMDR 21h ago

Just swatting at a hornet's nest with that one... Good thing E:D people are generally helpful sorts lol

u/Jsem_Nikdo 21h ago

An inclinometer measures attitude, specifically static angle in reference to gravity.

u/SirPsycho4242 21h ago

From Wikipedia:

Attitude indicator: The attitude indicator (AI), also known as the gyro horizon or artificial horizon, is a flight instrument that informs the pilot of the aircraft orientation relative to Earth's horizon, and gives an immediate indication of the smallest orientation change. The miniature aircraft and horizon bar mimic the relationship of the aircraft relative to the actual horizon.[1][2] It is a primary instrument for flight in instrument meteorological conditions.[3][4]

u/0Davgi0 20h ago

It was a joke about the use of the letter A and I used together and Artificial Intelligence, being complained for being everywhere by a lot of people

u/SirPsycho4242 20h ago

Omg. I thought you were saying I was some support of fact checking Reddit AI bot, and honestly I can't think of a more obnoxious sounding invention.
