Album 7/Ships 13+14

Permanent Waves marked yet another massive leap forward for the band. It was the first to transition from large, fantasy orientated pieces to a more concise, commercial framework. Indeed, The Spirit Of The Radio is the most successful single the band had ever released. The compositions also gained more maturity and precision. Every track is a classic. From the joyful opener to the complex, introspective Natural Science.

Asp Scout

The much maligned Asp Scout. The “worst ship” of many a Commander on the podcast Flight Assist. I was determined to love this ship! I used it endlessly to traverse around inhabited space, unlocking engineers, running errands, building reputations. I even called it the Entre Nous (Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins’ favourite Rush track). It is certainly useful and fun to fly, but it doesn’t run anywhere near as cold as I would like for a scout and it’s nowhere near as fast either. Not the worst for sure but definitely not the best.


Asp Explorer

Ok! Now for the Asp Explorer! NOW we’re talking! Faster, big, big jump range and pretty too! Especially if you give it some love and fix a ship kit and a great paint job on it! This baby is the The Spirit Of Radio! My dedicated rat ship! Already has a few FLI’s (First fuel Limpet In) to her name. My goodness I love flying her! This is one of those must have ships that Elite Dangerous offers.
