Just be glad a Nova wasnt driving past you. Especially if you were only in a Jaguar... lol
Ha, ha! Egosoft, could you add a new ship in the next update. Make it slow, kinda rounded and paint it a sort of orange colour that hasn't been seen since the seventies. Call it "Allegro"!

When you switch over to a standard FPS for a while and find that your reaction time is a lot better than before because you've been dogfighting in an TL. :lol:

When you read an article about remote controlled F-22's and start mentally comparing them to xenon ship classes.

When the power fails you look for crystals to put in the emergency generator.

Completing that one last mission started at midnight you find your late for the 8 to 4 shift.

You go into a BMW dealer and argue that while an M5 is faster than an M3, it doesn't have as good shields or weapons

when you played "one hour" and look at your analog clock and wonder why it's still showing the same time and why it is so hard to see it.

When you have a dream that goes like this:

Sat in pub with friends, a Orca Floats in with a JD Factory, and joke about 'where's my boarding party...'

when you leave alone the game for a long time (i'm thinking 6 months here) then going back to it, as if you had just left it, remembering not only the controls, but also your assets, money spots, and your expansion plans..

or my personnal favorite; the tendancy to press J on every single game..
