Phantoms Of The Asteroid - Matt Gray Remake Preview

While potentially dangerous, nuclear powered spacecraft offer far faster and more efficient spacecraft than traditional chemical rockets. Today we will examine the various means of using atomic power sources to propel spacecraft, bot to get off Earth and to travel to other stars.

The Nuclear Option

X3 Terran Conflict OST - Think Trailer

9 Roof Of The Galaxy

Wo-oh oh oh oh wo-oh oh oh oh wo-oh wooh oh

Flying in my Viper Mk3
Buzzing round the res sites like an angry bee
Shooting every pirate I can see
Actually I'm following local security
I got my ship kit and my lasers coloured 
Got my ship skin and topgun glasses on
I'm the biggest killer you'll meet
But you'll never  see me cause I play in solo

Viper bites so fast and deep you'll be on your knees
Venom coursing through your veins will bring you down
Will bring you down, will bring you down
Viper bites so fast and deep you'll be on your knees
Venom coursing through your veins will bring you down
Will bring you down, will bring you down	
				
Wo-oh oh oh oh wo-oh oh oh oh wo-oh wooh oh

Sailing into a CGI, I got my radar filled with that tasty cargo
Trying it in open for a second or three
And get my ass whipped, like I'm plain Escargo 
I got enhanced speed and my hulls so plated
I kill thargoids, solo and thats a fact (no its not)
I wish Gluttony Fang was me
But i'm more just gluttony, always too greedy.

Viper bites so fast and deep you'll be on your knees
Venom coursing through your veins will bring you down
Will bring you down, will bring you down
Viper bites so fast and deep you'll be on your knees
Venom coursing through your veins will bring you down
Will bring you down, will bring you down	
				
Wo-oh oh oh oh wo-oh oh oh oh wo-oh wo-oh oh repeat....

7 Flying In My Viper Mk3

It was cold I was freezing, I'd had too much booze,
So I thought I would park up my cow for the night,
She was packed to the gills with rare goods I had saved,
Yes a big haul of Arx's for my lady,
My coms panel opened a voice said 'Ha-har',
'now give me 10tons of your loot',
I was stubborn and drunk and would not give this punk
Not one penny so i blew it all....

My lady was hoping for riches that night, with no rebuy i was down on my knees,
But she just walked away from that empty ship bay,
She said 'you're not the man that i need'.

So i turned to the dark side, I hardened my heart,
Oh yes a mean pirate I'd be,
I flew out of that station and into this song,
Yes I knew I had found what I'd be.

I was flying my cobra right out of Kremmain with a hold full of Lavian brandy,
I was swigging so deeply from my Hutton Mug with the rare smell of Onion-Head round me.
Maybe I'll find a girl in Frigaha one night, who'll put up with my pirating ways,
But until then I'll drink from this old Hutton mug,
and I hope that I'll meet her one day.

One day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my charms,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then i'll keep on my pirating ways waheeey

So I cooled down my Cobra and silent ran home
and sold all of my Lavian Brandy
Had some Pink Bast Snake Gin just to give me a grin and a puff of that Onion-Head gladly.

Maybe I'll find a girl in Frigaha one day, who'll put up with my pirating ways,
But until then I'll drink from this old Hutton mug,
and I hope that I'll meet her one day.

One day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my charms,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then I'll keep on my pirating ways
Oh one day, Christmas day
Oh I'll win back your heart with my gold and my Arx's,
Oh one day, Christmas day,
But until then I'll keep on my pirating ways...

If you got the wings and the rebuy  deal with us
Small ship to big its first past the post 
Every bodies lined up staring at the slot gap
Smiling  at those glasses with the topgun faces on

Pitch fork waving at the neutron thruster boy
Boost to the max as we skittle off the toaster rack
Turn baby turn before you even think about it
Gotta be slick like an oil tanker spewing it
    
We got the speed indeed
We're racing round this galaxy
Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying high
We got the speed indeed
We're racing round this galaxy
Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying

So you learned the way of the boost addict
Waiting for the charge lines even when your sleeping in your bed
In your head all you see is the raceway turning
Pulling on that boost  finger in yo dreams

Get in the flow like an neutron dipper boy
You know they gonna hit ya if you get in their way
Spin like a record baby FA off can send you crazy
This is the whip crack on your slow ass

Hop onboard with Elite Racers..... everyone flying high

5 Elite Racers

Give me everything in your cargo hold,
I am willing not to blow you away (and all this can end),
You can jump but you can't hide from my scanning eyes,
This day you have become my prey.

Been searching for those ships with a mining laser,
Heading back to sell all their wares,
Interdiction it is starting to spin me out, 
So I hope you've started saying your prayers.

Low temperature diamonds incoming,
Hatch breaker limpet on its way,
Low temperature diamonds incoming,
I got this feeling that today is payday.
Yeah gimme gimme gimme.


Been searching for an anarchy system for so long,
One with agriculture and boom,
The charts are bare the galaxy seems so happy now,
But pirates always make their own room.

Locked in and turning to pull you out of cruise,
Then I take a shield or two,
Thrusters off you tumble and jump away,
But you know that I'm coming for you.

Low temperature diamonds incoming
Hatch breaker limpet on its way
Low temperature diamonds incoming
I got this feeling today is payday...

4 Low Temperature Diamonds Incoming

Hmm hmm hmm 
You've waited long, at the engineers base right, 		 
No-ones here only landing bay number lights, 		
I appear fresh meat for the night sharks.

We could be friends, so should I drop my guard right? 
Or my shields I hear you laugh out loud, on a stream, 
Hey boys another ones coming.	

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Should I run,
Before rebuy.

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Could I run,
Before rebuy.
		
hmm hmm hmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmm hmmm
 
It seemed so dull, the bubble felt so empty			
I got my mats, been grinding all these rarest finds, 
Hmm hmm hmm
Heading out to Deciat or Palins,
After that my energy is failing,
But I'll take my chance, embrace it all tonight.

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Should I run,
Before rebuy.

Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Could I run,
Before rebuy.


Can I high wake before my hull gets mushed,
Can I just turn before I eat the dust,
Can I escape to oh another night, 
Or an hour at work tomorrow, 
When the bugs wont bite,
When the bugs wont bite, 
When the bugs wont bite,  
When the bugs wont bite, 
When the bugs wont bite.

Can I high wake before my hull gets crushed,
Can I just turn before I eat the dust,
Can I escape to live another night,
Will I be hyper-dicted on my way out their tonight.


This game, is eating me, I live for it night and day,

This game, is all for me, I dream it in every way,


Purple lasers fill my canopy, 
There's a frag gun eating right thru me 
Should I run,
Before rebuy.

Purple lasers fill my canopy,

Or an hour at work tomorrow
When the bugs won't bite.

Hmmm hmmm hmmm...

3 Purple Lasers Fill My Canopy

I know I said that I'd be home soon
But I gotta go do one more thing
INRA said that its important,
So importantGOTTA MAKE SOME SACRIFICES
You know that I've fought  bugs before
But never more than one at a time
And now I'm staring at a hive like mothership 
Silent running my way inside

They told me I was here to kill their drives, just their drives
Now I'm seeing many millions of those bugs die
And I don't want this on my hands
 
John Jameson

They told me that the payload, was a virus
Aimed at killing their tech
Now the blood is on my hands 
Do you think they really done yet

They knew that it was lethal
Exactly of its power
They tricked me into carrying out this lie
Sliding past perimeters, cold as an icepick
To the flower that gives them life

They told me I was here to kill their drives, just their drives,
Now I'm seeing many millions of those bugs die,
And I dont want this on my hands.

I sat there just going back and forth in this old boat,
Just like a ship in a bottle,
You came round hopped on the bridge and took command,
And so we sailed into the night.

I couldn't set a course on my own,
Didn't know which way was the north star, 
Or even Sagitarrius A.

I couldn't care at all on my own,
Didn't know which way was the north star,
Or even Sagittaruius A.

We set sail, not on a rough sea but just floating free from the bottle,
And you said 'lets just see, where the jump takes us oh together, lets jump together'.

And the systems fell we scanned them all,
We put our names against those first discoveries,
Wonderful memories.

The sectors passed we owned them all,
Some phenomenon where notable,
We took some shots to show our friends,
Some things they wont believe...

Oh the things that I have seen,
Oh the places I have been,
Oh I have crossed the void,
They wont believe.

Yeah i have looked into the eye ,
Yeah I've grown a lot since you oh hopped aboard that night.

I sat there, just going back and forth, in this old boat,
Just like a ship in a bottle,
You came round hopped on the bridge and took command,
And so we sailed into the night....

14 Ship In A Bottle

When the bases fall, and the powers call for cmdr's to carry the load....?
Through all barriers, in their carriers,   
Can they take the seed of a new world......?

Wishing on a star,
We'll make this journey together,
Wishing on a star,
Our only hope is together.

When the story flows and the bubble goes,
Will Cmdr's reach for a new world?
Can the convoy fly and the hull rats try, to keep the fleet from Destruction?

Wishing on a star,
We'll make this journey together,
Wishing on a star,
Our only hope is together.

Nothings gonna change us,
Stop the fight between us,
Even on the edge of the night,
A common goal can link us,
Someones gonna gank us,
But we all care.

Wishing on a star,
We'll make this journey together,
Wishing on a star,
Our only hope is together.

One big jump into the unknown,
Working hard to keep the seed of humanity growing.

Nothings gonna change us,
Stop the fight between us,
Even on the edge of the night,
A common goal can link us,
Someones gonna gank us,
But we all care .

Wishing on a star,
We'll make this journey together,
Wishing on a star,
Our only hope is together.

Distant Worlds Theme (Mining CG)

Oh the galaxy calls
A chant from the starts to come live in the core
We'll work together my friends 
Every flash of lights another one to carry the weight
Jump onboard
Enter those co-ords
Oh we're the wandering souls
Come and lend a hand for the Distant Worlds.

Oh take a blaster or two
Cause in those pristine rings
There's a fortune for you
We'll work together my friends 
As the mother lode cracks 
This might come to an end

Jump onboard
Enter those co-ords
Oh we're the wandering souls
Come and lend a hand for the Distant Worlds.

Blaster's fire and jump drives count
Voice comms fill there's a chatter about
The targets set and the works in your hands
Come and build a hope in the distant lands.

Search those systems 'till there's nothing to find
Leave the trouble in the Bubble far behind
This is your chance as the future unfolds
Come and lend a hand on the Distant Worlds...
