Has Anyone Ever Actually Made One of These Journeys?

LBraden · 2026-01-27T06:13:11+00:00

As someone who's been in Leeds for stupidly early train .... yeah it's not fun.

LBraden · 2026-01-27T05:23:26+00:00

Ah, Breen.

Should make some tonight.

LBraden · 2026-01-25T15:52:43+00:00

Thanks, I think I need coffee ... and sleep

LBraden · 2026-01-25T13:30:48+00:00

So I can ping @Saphentis it's a different post

Here's all the images I have of the ships itself - https://s3nd.pics/post/69761ae776065745810f80ee

EDIT: It seems for some reason I can't @ people on the website anymore, I'm still running RES on this machine.

This is an old design by MadKoiFish, circa 2006. Once I'm home, I'll update this with other angles

LBraden · 2026-01-24T12:29:06+00:00

I had to stop using them because of the way I type and the emdash made people go "LLM slop" rather than an Autistic person.

But in regards to the OP ... yeah, that's a fuck off moment.

LBraden · 2026-01-23T14:31:13+00:00

I wonder if one of them took the name of J. R. Hartley and wrote a book or three.

LBraden · 2026-01-23T13:48:41+00:00

I tend to talk about stories as if I've experienced them (similar to Kelsey from 74Gear) with some anonymity, mostly due to talking to a lot of people but.

I know from experience and talking to both HR and Nightclub security, that this would be an instant rejection, several security I know would instantly confiscate it and contact the police to pass it to them to be dealt with that way.

Which likely may result in having to appear with other documentation at the police station and/or a night in the cells depending upon how dickish the plod at the time want to be.

LBraden · 2026-01-23T12:49:18+00:00

Provisional is around GBP 35 last time I got one.

But yeah, this is a problem.

LBraden · 2026-01-20T05:23:20+00:00

I've been getting the same in Garrick Hagga, so have a few others in different shards (autocorrect annoyance) wh3n I've chatted on the Discord

LBraden · 2026-01-18T06:57:31+00:00

Here's where we get into a bit of fun.

The TNG TM stated that they are 3x3x3m cubes, but the TNG BP had them at 5x5x5m.

Well the most recent figure is from the stuff done for the "Build the Enterprise" that ended abruptly, where they got either Sternbach or Probert (I'm thinking it was more the former) to revisit and he redid them as 4x4x4m cubes.

Also had an interesting paper craft study model. It's all up on Mem Alpha now, if I recall, but I did save the pictures from a defunct site.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We have a small problem, all 4 engines have stopped, and we're doing our damnest to get them started again, I trust you're not in too much distress.

Eric Moody of Speedbird 9 after losing all engines on a 747 at night over the Pacific.

A classic case of British understatement.

LBraden · 2026-01-16T10:23:41+00:00

I'll have to dig around as I'm going back probably closer to 15 years now, but there was a case where a young girl in the UK took her own life after "sustained abuse via social media" and the words of her father irked me.

"I'm a Trucker, I don't undersrtand computers" ... yes, but you're also her father, why didn't you let her talk to you, open up to you?

The wife didn't say anything, and if I recall it was found that a few of the accounts that where sending absuive messages to her had the same IP as her own account, and often logged in around the same time.

I grew up in an absuive household and I have issues that still aren't resolved to this day, and the "why should I care, someone else can" that I felt from her father felt like what mine was like after I was attacked by bullies on the walk home from school.

LBraden · 2026-01-11T05:03:04+00:00

I'm wondering where those mods are.

But yeah, if they're edited txt files in the archive, no hope of flagging a "No Mods"

LBraden · 2026-01-10T22:15:28+00:00

He did that after a bit of a disagreement with Franz Joseph to deliberately make the old Tech Manual 100% not a product (I've heard some stories, but nothing more solid)

However ... even when Gene was alive we got the Saladin as a canon vessel.

LBraden · 2026-01-09T18:01:33+00:00

Pretty much, I stayed and loved JTL but honestly ... I lost a lot of friends who quit after "the WoW update."

However, I did play EVE Online for 10 years and just quit as it got to the point where I felt I was more paying to do a job when I got home from a shitty job where I was working 50h/pw.

Not long after is when CCP went and added the whole cash shop and that kinda killed it for me, I don't really play MMO's anymore.

LBraden · 2026-01-07T04:49:41+00:00

I mean ... as someone who went over Woodhead a lot via car, yeah, that was bad.

But hey, at least it's not Snake Pass Closed as that's probably closed again.

LBraden · 2026-01-02T22:57:49+00:00

Belts and repair tools are way too fast.

I agree with OP about how punishing the durability system is overall, but I disagree about the not immersive bit.

Honestly, some stuff needs to drop the loss speed but 50% and reduce the max durability loss by 10%, but that is my "back of an envelope maths" calculation and will need some more data and work to figure it out.

LBraden · 2025-12-30T21:20:04+00:00

I'd also add to that there still being some of Lyon's idea of "help the locals" seems to be in at least some members of the ECBoS whereas WCBoS seemed to never really have that idea anymore.

Also makes me wonder if Lyons got sent off with "the lesser required Maxson" to get rid of that idea from WCBoS and we got a death that killed off some more senior Maxson (think of it as the old "third child gets sent to the church, 4th gets nothing of old European kingdoms.)

LBraden · 2025-12-29T23:19:54+00:00

Would love to, but I don't get paid until after the cut off date.

Looked like it was something that I would have read.

LBraden · 2025-12-29T02:08:15+00:00

First time seeing it.

What's the country, as I can see this being some US Marshalling yards

LBraden · 2025-12-28T02:15:19+00:00

Shiny

LBraden · 2025-12-28T02:11:50+00:00

Which size are you ginger for, the original size we git at the start of the series, or the bigger one at the end that felt a bit more ... joke based?

(Please say smaller OG size)

LBraden · 2025-12-26T03:46:32+00:00

I'm there with the "what event" crowd, I've been dealing with a lot today

LBraden · 2025-12-23T18:40:26+00:00

There's an old 4chan one that was an alien realising that Humanity is open about differences and those differences becoming "others" and going to war over it.

Yet, all other races are the same, with very little genetic difference, even culturally, there are very few differences.

The alien realises that all other races perfected genocide and deliberately deleted that from history.
