one more addiction

for the last week or so, i've been playing a freelancer mod called "the next generation." i've got a few complaints about the physics--like, my battleship bounces off of asteroids, while my heavy fighter plows right through them--but for the most part, i'm very happy with it. if you liked freelancer, this is a heck of a lot better, so i would recommend checking it out.

right now i'm flying a chaos fighter, which is pretty freaking ridiculous. as evidence, i submit the following picture:


you may need a bigger shot to see what's going on, so go here. my ship is approximately 10M (meters, i think... i was actually bouncing off at one point) away from a red dwarf. i was going to try and end my run for the night by crashing into a sun (i had just saved, and i really needed sleep), but the ship took it like a champ. so i ended up shooting the sun with torpedos to blow myself up. that went a lot faster.

on that note, 8 o'clock classes suck, so i'm off to bed. later all.
