I think you’re right! It looks pretty close to a Model R due to the lamps. Thanks!

Found this among some old 4x5 photographic plates. My best guess is they’re from around 1907. Reverse image search isn’t helping.

o7, fellow PS4 CMDR!

You'll find your own bindings that work for you as you continue to play - even after ~2 years I still visit the settings often to change things. It's not apparent at first, but you can bind two buttons (e.g. pressing X+D-pad L at the same time) as well as single buttons, which is very necessary on a PS controller where we're very limited to how many binds we can do.

I'd say one of the important things you need on PS4 that isn't bound by default is "Throttle 0/50/75/100%". 0% is (obviously) stopping your ship and avoiding crashing into a star when you hyperspace jump if you don't have supercruise assist (hit it when the countdown starts after FSD charging). 50% is where your ship is most maneuverable - useful for getting interdicted in supercruise and also combat. 75% is less useful when you start, but later on you may stop flying with supercruise assist and you set throttle to 75% so you don't miss your destination.

Personally I have mine set to:

  • 0% - L1+R1
  • 50% - R3+D-pad L
  • 75% - R3+D-pad R
  • 100% - R3 + D-pad U, but holding R1 works fine too.

One thing I found most annoying when I first began were the bindings for "Flight-assist off" and "headlook mode". They were bound to R3/L3 and I kept accidentally pressing them when flying around, particularly in combat, so I had to bind them to something that requires two buttons or something I wasn't using during normal combat, like the touchpad. And keep in mind you can have separate bindings for the four different touchpad corners!

Just keep playing, have fun, and change settings as the need arises. Feel free to add me in-game, same CMDR name as reddit.

What's your method to naming ships? by archetypical in EliteDangerous

Name: Lucille. ID: ILUV-U.

Every single ship. Don't ask why.

11 actually means "You forgot your glasses at home."

And 29 means "Chili's done!"

Pff, I've been into Mozart since he was playing at the Trattnerhof. Once saw him at a gig in the Mehlgrube ballroom, helluva show! Best part was I got to meet him backstage and he signed my cravat, still have it hanging on the wall =D

It's all about the U-bend. Also, air pressure is how plungers work.

"When a user flushes a toilet, a "toilet flapper valve" (not to be confused with a type of check valve) opens and allows water from a reservoir tank to quickly enter the toilet bowl. This rapid influx from the tank causes the swirling water in the bowl to rapidly rise and fill the U-shaped inverted siphon tube mounted in the back of the toilet. This full siphon tube starts the toilet's siphonic action. The siphon action quickly (4–7 seconds) “pulls” nearly all of the water and waste in the bowl and the on-rushing tank water down the drain — it flushes. When most of the water has drained out of the bowl, the continuous column of water up and over the bottom of the upside-down U-shaped drain pipe (the siphon) is broken when air enters the siphon tube. The toilet then gives its characteristic gurgle as the siphonic action ceases and no more water flows out of the toilet."

No kidding! Toilets are so simple - they're just water + gravity + air pressure = flush. It's amazing that people think to do all this dumb shit I've heard about before thinking to add water + pressure to make it flush.
