You know you've been flying too much when .... - Holmes - 01-22-2006 ganked these from http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=ngepilot&message.id=24415  and posted here for those that dont have SWG forum access Classics (extracted from spaceloot.com forums): -You /comm your garage door. -You mount guns on your car, shoot other cars, and expect their cargo to appear in your trunk. -You intsall a reactor in your car.

The worst part was when I was actually confused that nothing was shooting out the front. -------------- MonsofoLexius: When you spend 3 minutes after landing figuring out why your joystick does not move you anymore --------------- Leaph: I have had times where I've tried to boost with my speeder x.x -"You know you've been flying too much when you manage to shoot me down" . I'm going to regret saying that now. Double the missile magnet fun x.x -------------- Thesto: You know you've been flying too much when your joystick develops indentations where your fingers rest from squeezing. You also know you've been flying too much when your index finger constantly twitches like you're pulling the trigger on your stick. You know you've flown too much when you wonder where the Engine Overload 4 button is on your dashboard when trying to evade the police AFTER you have mounted guns on the fenders and shot other cars. -------------- JekPorkinsX: when you ram something thinkin you will go through happened when i was very tired dumb chair ------------ eurno_ebaebro__kyra: Your parents ground you from the game for flying too much. Your parents ground you from only the space portion of the game. ------------ Ralen-Sharr: you keep hitting the home button and wonder why you keep stopping (now with the NGE) you try to lead your targets ------------ MasterTexiria:when you see someone throw a nade at you and you hit chaff launcher button...twice. Confuse your friends in SWG when talking about overloads and there importance to making the Longprobe move like a bat out of well you know. When you get on the beltway in your car and think that you'd better be careful some imperials might jump you and you instinctivly move your thumb to wear your target closest enemy player should be on your stick shifter. When you lag on the ground and curse the person making the ISD fire...and go to the nearest space terminal to go blow it up. -------------- Ludmyla: A guildy asks for help doing the vette, only problem is he is the opposite faction, so you drop your squadron, change factions and 8 hours later help him destroy the vette the same guildy wants some PvP experience, so 8 hours after he makes ACE you shoot him down in deep space -------------- davisev5225: You wonder why your car won't leave the ground.
