But you're using 2 different time units together in that equation: minutes and seconds.
You'll have to divide 0.115 by 60 if you want to keep using the 50mps speed.

Bacon you will soon learn a more faster and more service minded approach..
Since its you first time.
I can tell you they will not stop being "upset", some may even try and "escape" but after a few Cat and mouse sessions they soon learn to give up before hand and press Insert when they finish the rip, I call this the "role over fase".
Others will just protest and demand they be picked up, but ofcause they will /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.
You will also learn the "Player drop Off angle from Tele" this is special, during Rip the player lost connection, and will start to fly in a off angle away from everything, they can not be saved.
Have a nice day

The tele that Bacon was picking up pods at was 1500m from the green door I believe. My point in saying something to Bacon during the game was simply that we were obviously undermanned in some of our tasks. Having a vet pilot sitting on a tele the entire game - which by the way wasn't the tele that pods ripped to about 50% of the time - while other vet pilots are stuck in NOAT because they dropped and we were up one player doesn't make any sense. More often than not there were multiple ships at the tele because some had ripped home from doing something anyway. Pod pickups at a tele are useful. A VET dedicated to doing it is a waste of resources... especially when the majority of the time I ripped home and hit 'np I was getting two and three responses.

The obvious conclusion from this would be that Bacon doesn't consider himself vet enough to move away from the tele /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

The comm never commanded him to do anything else,...so all's good.

You didn't get the press release? Bacon has ascended, he is in XT, everything he does is now automatically the right thing for him to be doing in a pick up game. If you don't consider the thing that Bacon is doing to be the appropriate thing for Bacon to be doing, then clearly you are wrong.
