Anniversary Sale Mega Thread - Its Done - Hammer & Hawk Available until Dec 11th

[Michael]

Anyone work out how many pixels are in 64km²?

As it has been stated it depends on your resolution, or better your dpi (ppi)
i'm using px/cm for the sake of math
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(250-) 300 ppi (118 px/cm) (which is the resolution where people can't realize a difference between pixel anymore)
So 118 * 10^5 px/km or 1,39 x 10^14 px/km²
so we have ~ 8.896 x 10^15 px in total which is 9 quadrillion

8896000000000000 Pixel on the 8x8 km² for a very very good resolution (Usally Smartphone displays)
.....................................................................

for example a monitor with 1920x1080 px resolution has ~81,59 ppi = 31,86 px/cm
31,86 px/cm = 6,496 x 10^14 px on 64km² which is 0,6 quadrillion

649600000000000 Pixel on the 8x8 km² for the (probably) average gaming monitor

(actually i'm wondering is it "on" 8x8 km² or "at" stupid english always confuses me)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to compare stuff
UHD 27" at 3840x2160 is 163 dpi

I could be totally wrong, but your ability to do such complex math tells me that you are indeed in need of another beer my friend. Cheers!

So who got an Orion Mining Frigate now?

I now have an Orion

[Michael]

Actually i'm hesitating with my decision to melt everything towards the carrack and the overall explorer role
we will see if Misc and Drake will change my mind.
Thank god for buybacks

 

[Black Sunder]

I got an Aurora LN and a Mustang Beta.

 

[The Razgriz]

Ended up melting my Prospector, BMM, Noxs, and an Aurora starter package in order to buy a Constelation Pheonix, Hawk, 350R, and another Cyclone.

 

[WaterShield]

I got a 4km x 4km land parcel and ccu'd my LTI 350R (I had 2 of them) to an LTI Polaris. This means I have entered Concierge territory. I wonder if I get the top hat hanger flair...

Nice fleet. And very nice spreadsheet. I think I'll be using this, with your permission.

 

[ThomBozworth]

I have a tough question for you guys.

Black Sunder does not own an Aurora and he is deeply ashamed. What Aurora should he get?

I... uh.. I dont have an Aurora either... I'm so ashamed!!

Oh my, same here. LN incoming.

Congrats on reaching Concierge status for you as well!
