Clan Battlezzz

I couldn’t even drum up the motivation to do Clan Battles today. I might just be growing out of it. It’s actually more fun for me at tier 8 than tier 10, so it’s not the current season that’s bothering me, necessarily. Since there’s nothing to add there I’ll leave it at that for now. Tomorrow or Friday I’ll have some good news to share.

Cosmo Messer F (Final Tweaks)

I’m feeling a lot better now, but still not back to 100%. Even so, I’m getting really close to finishing the Cosmo Messer F. Once that’s done, the Hipper won’t be far behind.

Two wonderful things happened at about the same time. One, I managed to replace the landing gears with some good looking ones, though the smoke puffs that show up during maneuvers are still there and they still annoy the tar out of me. I’d replace the wheels with something else if I could, but for right now I’m just tolerating the smoke.

The second thing is the external hardpoints. Those have been installed which means the Messer F can carry things like drop tanks and extra weapons. Even thruster pods are an option now, which is just fantastic. I’m really looking forward to see what I can pull off with the F series modules.

Still Alive

I’m still in pretty rough shape; I’ve got aching muscles I didn’t even know existed thanks to that near constant sneezing, and my nose is still harassing me every so often, more than a day later. All that to say there’s nothing to update the site on just yet.

I’m trying to think of something positive to add that doesn’t include the terms “I hope” or “hopefully.” It’s not easy, but I’m not leaving the rest of this month up to the whims of fate. If I’ve got to work through brain scattering sneezing, constant soreness, and seemingly perpetual cramps, I’ll do it.

There.

In No Shape for PvP

Sundays, I don’t even know anymore. I had to skip Clan Battles again. This time it was a sneezing fit that lasted for about three hours. I’m not entirely sure I’m past it yet, but either way I’m down for the count. I’m in no shape for any kind of PvP today.

M.A.S.S. Builder: 3rd Anniversary AMA (Part 2)

Round 2 of the questions for Vermillion went up this morning. Since the questions were customization focused, it wasn’t even close to upbeat like last week’s. Basically, with a lot of unrealistic hopes and expectations coming their way, there were a lot of straight ‘no’s and self quotes from last year, more than enough to make this part of the AMA feel like a list of things that can’t be done, or won’t be done.

They didn’t shoot down any ideas I was personally holding out for, but the trend on this one was undoubtedly negative overall. Still, we’ve got a lot to look forward to after the game’s full release. There just isn’t much good news for this week. At least we know what definitely won’t be happening on the customization front.
