    Idon't really see a reason to move the PvP races to a queue. Kinda no point. What map are you gonna use? The same Risa map or some new custom job that only appears in the summertime?

    I only see the directional cone in the artifact hunt once in awhile when I'm at that sweet spot up in the air. However, I really don't need it most of the time. The Closer/Further indicators work just fine when you have an idea of where most of the dig sites are. There are only a couple that stump me and make it a bit frustrating, but for the most part I usually have no trouble getting four of my toons through it whenever it's running.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    I have a theory that the female dance instructor is the Eppoh lady from Winter wonderland in a wig. They sound the same.

    I'm not too enthusiastic about it this year, it's a case of do the daily and done with Risa for the day. I'm not even going to bother on the new ship, all I want is the card.

      I doubt they will do that, but it never hurts to ask. All they can do is say no.

      IIRC, First gets 75, Second 30 (or 50, can't remember), Third 20, Finish 15. I very, very rarely get anything other than Finish.

      That would be fine with me. I never enter the races to win anyway, just to have fun powerboarding and floating around the courses. I know full well going in that I'll probably only ever Finish...if I don't accidentally, or through rubberbanding, get disqualified.

      Oh, I've gotten a first before, but it's usually a fluke, not by actually being first. lol.

      I did manage a third in one of the powerboard races today too. But the vast majority of the time I just Finish. And that's fine with me. I don't need to raise a passel of monkeys.

      Whooo hooo.. I got 720 ship tokens! Which means, I could take a few days off and still make it. LOL!

      Eh, I want to concentrate on Lohlunat Favors for a couple of days.

      I find like that baseball emote...the one with the character swinging the bat and hitting the ball. I want to get that for everyone (14 characters worth)....THAT is a lot of favors to collect. LOL!

      True. I concentrate on favors after doing all the flying highs. I still go five times since I'm running for five different accts. That's down from eight after I finished filling out a few previously-slotted ships.

      I spend a couple hours after FH on one of my accounts and a couple hours later on, on the other acct of mine. I'm saving for the DOFFS that some of mine don't have yet myself.

      I have a similar project, I want graviton spike for all my tac toons, + for 1 tac boff per toon :p

      Thank goodness all the characters I care about are still level 11 so I don't have to bother with kits or the DOFFs. THAT would be way too much.

      Grav Spike isn't THAT good... unless you combine it with Cryotronic Modulation....

      well, I like graviton spike, ennemies are dead in a few seconds + it's a funny skill; I combine it with paradox bomb IV.
      there is always more than 1 way to play at this game ;)

      Got my ship today, and I like it. The 5/3 layout isn't hindering my ability to kill things. Right now, I've loaded it with things I had on other ships. Mostly tetryons of several different flavors, then put the Quantum Phase weapon set and the trilith weapon set, also have a thoron quantum mine back there. Yes, that makes two different weapon flavors, but many in here have said that no matter the flavor, they all do about the same when used. Still, I intend to get it to all tetryon as she goes through the episodes giving them out for mission rewards.

      I've taken her several rounds through the Rom Patrols with Radiation scan for one and even with two pets, they still survive the whole patrol.

      All in all, I'm pretty happy with the ship

      Meantime, I am off my schedule, again. I missed the window for doing Flying High on my character this morning....so, I am skipping another day. LOL! (See, this is what happens when I run the numbers and figure out how much leeway I have....I end up rushing it all in at the end.)

      But this was for a good reason...I had to go pick up new prescription eye glasses at the eyeglass place.

      Eyeglasses are definitely important. I need new ones myself.

      Been running around in the Rom Rad patrols and DSEs to run up my masteries and have both Jhanell and Jacob (my mains on me F2P and Lifer accts respectively) up to lvl 3. I took Jacob through Counterpoint for his Endeavor (Normal difficulty) and he did blow up twice. There were others blowing up as well, but we finished and got our goodies.

      Jacob is using most of what was on his Carrier, along with some other stuff he had on other ships. It all works together for any Normal content I want to do. Yeah, I'm one of those who only likes playing the 'easiest' difficulty in any game she plays and I like it that way. I have fun and I kill things. Also, Normal difficulty allows me to just put things on new ships that I already have 'lying around' and still make it work. And I like it. And the bottom line is always whether I'm having fun or not, and this applies to everyone. And I am having fun.

      Basically, as Doug Marcaida says on Forged in Fire-"It will kill."

      No need to explain...I stick to "normal", myself. I am no action video game person. I just use what is laying around or loot drops, too. I think the must be epic and get done in 15 seconds is mostly a "guy" thing...I ain't trying to keep up.

      Crafting, upgrading and being picky about mods...not fun, anyways. Maybe my Armada Leader likes doing that.

      Nice to see other casual, Normal mode players around. :)

      Even the fleet my friend and I co-opted when the other members abandoned it is very small and will take a lot of time to level up to anything important. But we don't care. It's something we do together when we can.

      But yeah, those who must have all epic, must-haves and call ships pieces of junk because the don't fit their personal choice for whatever don't bother me a bit. I knew this ship would kill things. And no, I don't do space fights in reverse. Heck, half the time my rear is facing them anyway, so it all works.

      In fact, these are the two loadouts I have of stuff that the respective toons already had lying around If people want something to laff at ;) :

      What? You got Mark 14s in there. And no blue or green. Get out! don't even throw your casualness at me. LOL! Just kidding, boys.

      Chuckle:Only my mains get upgraded first. I still have some wiggle room in regards to upgrading as one of those beams is Mk XI.

      I am definitely casual. I don't DOFF or Admiralty regularly, though I should, but I'm lazy like that lol. It's why I play Normal. Would never inflict myself on Advanced or Elite queues, though I may bump my patrols to Advanced occasionally.
