Toys and Teamwork of course! Both of these coincided yesterday, with the purchase of a ss..sim.. (oh something or other, who gives the names out) a VTOL enabled vehicle and the EP 1 year celebratory hunt @ Hadesheim C(rater). After initial problems getting off the ground, the (will not be referred to simply as VTOL, even though that's not correct) VTOL proved to be really usable and loads of fun. Bought for 700 (I reckon they'll stabilize around 500, maybe rising again after the novelty purchases stop) I'm impressed by the fuel usage, something like 2 pec/min idle and 4 pec/min thrust, as with the other vehicles I've tried, fuel isn't an issue but collisions are! Apart from 1 landing mishap, It's not racking up dmg points. Being able to see for miles around and not being mapped to track & terrain means the actual speed and the comparative speed make the VTOL anything between 1/3 faster over fairly straight ground to much faster over difficult terrain. Great fun flying back into the field during a team hunt, the biggest difficulty is finding a spawn point (the system is far more fussy about level ground than when landing). I've only recently joined EP, but was glad to be accepted on their 1 year celebration event. Plenty of swirlies later, we departed from the scene of our planets troubled past with light hearts. Unfortunately as most of us know, globals and hofs don't equal profit in any venture, without bothering to factor decay, 230 ammo became 150 tt loot, giving a profit of -80, just goes to show fun in Entropia isn't correlated with Ped gain.
aww :( But I feel you. Isn't exactly what it use to be. Hopefully it won't stop you for joining another time too :)
What a great post, and it was a great time celebrating 1 year with everyone. Also, how cool is it that we finally meet up again. The forum has basically been a hit and miss over time, but it's always a good thing. Really nice to see you again my dear, and welcome to EP ... this is a great place. :)
