The law here in the US defines what is and is not a “riot” as opposed to a “peaceful protest”. Three people disturbing the peace makes a riot. MN is having daily riots, orchestrated through Signal, directed by MN’s Lt Governor, directing rioters against ICE and CBP, sharing police intel on...

I’ve been listening to this US Army Special Forces guy analyze the Signal chat intelligence of the insurgents in MN, and it dawned on me that during this pre-game time we have, perhaps it would be wise to look at constructing an intel mechanism that gave us a leg up. Just tracking numbers of...

So was this limit that only some shields will run at a time a feature, or a bug? I had heard CiG intended to limit ships with many shields to just two available at a time, and that is what erkul shows. When I saw just two working on the Hermes, I checked the Tally, and it likewise only...

Notes: all 4 S4 guns are pilot controllable. Only 2 of the 4 S2 shields can be active at a time. Poor SCM and rotations. Excellent storage. 4.4 sig gives good sneak for a ship this size. Best in class to deploy Dragonflies with rail guns.

I get your point, but I don’t think we can address specifics without all of them to discuss. Certainly, any carry system needs the quick access you’re talking about but that doesn’t mean it has to interfere with the bullpup magwell. Also, 60 round mags removes half the reloads so there’s that...

I would just note from the standpoint of a backpacker, if your rig is only going to hold what you have above, a lumbar pack is far superior. It doesn’t rely upon load bearing through the torso, so it fatigues far less. Backpackers all know that with any weight, you try to distribute weight...

Complaints pouring in about the new Hermes. Everyone wants to love this transport but the stupid shitty narrow access to the cargo area has people pissed. Obviously this is CIG fucking things up on purpose, yet again. Players are tired of this. Hermes looks beautiful, until you see how CIG...

Granted, it’s complicated. I think though, that flashlight deserves a reboot. That’s very 60’s. I’m all for a complete overhaul of the rig just to address the issues you raise. One of the reasons I recommended the vid atop here is it focuses on ergonomics but it did not include this rig! So...

I agree. I just wish for more gold passes and attention to older frames. My lonely Sentinel hasn’t got luvs for near a decade. Why are they waiting to bring us EM warfare? Makes no sense to me.

While we’re talking future warrior tech, there is another cartridge breakthrough that deserves note. The 6 Max is delivering just the necessary power increase to the light rifles with small boltfaces that make the 5.56 and M4 popular. Another future tech notable is the Boombox. The Boombox is...

I’m taking Richard’s advise and renting a Wolverine before I buy. If someone could build a .308 that weighs 7 lbs, has manageable recoil (for the average soldier—I used to shoot a .300 Win Mag) and 30 rd mags, I think that is a solution. I think though whatever solution they come up with, they...

The problem with the 5.56 armor piercing is it only works to about 100 yards. The standard bullet is 55 grains and the armor piercing with a tungsten rod is over 100. It’s just too light a round. I believe the problem with the .308 is it requires a larger boldface, so you are carrying a medium...

Yex, the rules for shooting creeps here in the US vary by state. We have over 38,000 “common sense laws”, so don’t encourage the turds who say we need more laws. Those laws fit into three categories. In states like Oregon, you can use lethal force in defense of personal property. That harkens...
