Of late I have taken up a new activity in my spare time:
INTERNET SPACESHIPS!
(The #StarCitizen kind)
This is thanks largely to a few friends, in particular @leinir showing off the game's current state and how gorgeous and rich it is despite still being in development.
I'm enjoying it a lot so far, in particular acquiring and customising a gorgeous Origin 315P. While not the sports car I once dreamed of IRL, the experience has ticked a lot of the same boxes. Also I can legally operate it!
@Doran_Eirok @leinir My internet spaceships of choice usually come from EVE Online (in rust we trust! π) but DAAAAAANG she's a beaut
@baralheia @leinir Thankies! ^^ Yeah I know EVE Online is kind of the original internet spaceships, I was always too intimidated to get into that one, but I'm having a lot of fun here and I love Star Citizen's ship designs so much.
@Doran_Eirok @leinir I don't blame you. Although the new player experience has improved significantly over the years, the learning curve is still really steep. Once you're acclimated though the game can be a LOT of fun. Star Citizen also looks like a blast, I should check it out! The ships are really pretty too. ^.=.^
@baralheia @Doran_Eirok It's not just the ships - i commonly have to just stop and look at the scenery because it's just so very pretty... People have been known to call it a screenshot generator ;) Also, if you want, there's a free-fly going on right now, until the 30th - bunch more info in this short thread: https://computerfairi.es/@leinir/109342210895530994 :) (which i also need to update, a new ship release made the recommendation not quite right, but i'll get to that in a little bit :) )
@leinir @baralheia @Doran_Eirok
So much YES.
Stunning landscapes and spacescapes and ferocious storms.
