You try 'Using the Force' with a moggy on your shoulder

I haven't posted much about Elite:Dangerous lately. I continue to play it on and off, and have now traded in my Cobra Mk.3 for a Vulture, less an all-purpose craft and more one fit for bounty-hunting. My game play has been very much of the form of unwinding by blasting pirates to smithereens and spending the resulting bounty payments on upgrades, to the point that I still only have a few million credits in the bank but now have a ship that can single-handedly take out a Python.

Anyway, yesterday I was having a play and I found myself with a passenger. I don't recall Luke Skywalker or Starbuck having this problem; maybe Mira thought she was Nimitz from the Honor Harrington books.



I think I have a case of Back Seat Space Pilot Cat:

Your mention of Nimitz reminds me of my entry in the #BaenAwardStories "Richard of Manticore scowled at his lop-sided reflection.Why'd no-one warned him carrying 14kg of tree-cat could warp young shoulder-bones?"

I've watched a friend trying to play Guitar Hero while a kitten scaled her leg. It was impressive - particularly the look on her face.

Giggle.

She probably wants to eat the Trumbles (do they still have those in Elite: Dangerous?)

Back-seat drivers!

I picked up Elite: Dangerous in the Steam summer sale. Looking forward to giving it a go, but I gather it's fairly complex, so I know I'm going to have to pick a time when I can concentrate on it.

I quite like the latter option: I always opted to play Scouts in Traveller back in the day!
