Since it has not changed in almost a week are they done changing it? Or did someone go on vacation? Sorry if this is off topic...

Yes, it is a beautiful shot. :thumb_up:

Capturing N is much more difficult, they are so fragile. I've got one somewhere from the early days.

When you shoot a Silkworm at fully shielded M, it will have only 200 out of 4,200 hull points left. Sometimes they bail on that. :wink:

L is easy. You just fly a capital ship and FAA hits them a couple times. A trail of blue L shows where I've been. :twisted:

Yep an L it is, the first L I capped I have kept, it is called "Nirwins Luck" because I and it actually survived ejecting from my ship, claiming it, getting back into my own ship, ordering it to a station for safety, and both escaping the Xenon sector we were in, all whilst being attacked by a number of Xenon fighters. It was quite a scary, adrenaline filled experience.

I was just happy to own, what I deem to be one of the coolest looking ships in the game. 8)
