@fedallah: I was thinking about this exact thing during that bit!
I'll say this: He might make it to three feet. There is physically no way he could eat a six food sub in a short time period. It would take the better part of the day, at least.
@freedom4556: Yeah, if he just wants to quietly space truck at his current net worth, he's probably better off staying in solo. He's in the middle of the bubble, relatively close to noob space where gankers and seal-clubbers like to hang out. A harmless CMDR in a Hauler is practically screaming "Interdict me, daddy!"
Even then, if he goes stacking delivery missions as he was starting to do on stream, the NPCs are going to be just as rough on him in that ship. He'd be better off using his Viper or getting a Cobra
The connection issues were a real drag. I have never seen server issues that bad myself, and I have well over 1000 hours in Elite.
Please do some more of these. Us GB Commanders would be happy to join you as an escort while you trade and/or teach you about combat or other aspects of the game.
Maybe we could set up a Giant Bomb PVP event with smaller, un-modified ships, that way Drew could join in.
Man, I personally bounced off this game really hard --- I really hated playing it and could never make it more than 30 minutes or so, despite trying multiple times. I'm really pumped to get to experience it with Drew
