Help!  I think I'm stuck inside a planet ;)

Was interdicted on approach to a surface landing.  Thought i could enter the atmosphere, but it triggered the too fast approach warnings as the interdiction nearly went through.  I am in an Anaconda which now has a 590 top speed (yay!) except I haven't modded it.  when I hit boost, my speed drops ;)

I am trying to fly to the nearest space station, but I can't supercruise as I am mass locked by the planet.  have tried return to menu, but respawn same place (more or less).

To add to the complication, I was attempting to deliver mission 1 out of 13!

Doing that as we speak.  Wanted to keep my SupaConda thrusters.  Will recover to Orbit and...dammit. Max speed 287.

Even with supe terrible trusters you can lift even from a 9g world by just using the "up" wards thrusters. Will take a while, but works even without you having to point the nose up or down.

Michael Birke  was stuck inside some geometry.  There were curved black lines which I assumed was the geometry making up the planet.  After a while heading towards the station, I noticed it was getting further away.  I suspect I was doing 800 in reverse actually.
Ian Norton that did it.

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t...

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...
