I was mindlessly meandering Q Drive specs, because I am that kind of nerd; and noted again that larger Q drives go faster in general. Efficiency of drives is harder to track than ever. I dunno why CIG complicated this by taking out the raw numbers we used to use. While so meandering I noted the...

Note the limited speed of the TAC was a problem more than once, and the inability to point the rear turret forward took it out of the fight. Odd to say, but the Carrack would have performed much better here. View: https://youtu.be/D2srxdPLlh8?si=fRGsNvMFwO_59LsO

We all know Han shot first. Now drink for that infraction. Drink I say!

You’re most welcome. BlindOwl is draining the tap off into his wheeled bathtub again. Someone get hold of him. Public Service Announcement: beer is not for swimming! Please do not swim in the beer!

He makes some great points. Twice the Redeemer’s shielding, and the ability to effectively run the ship with just 2 players. . .both key insights. You can imagine 6 players flying 3 Paladins w/ 12S5 and 12S4 guns between them. Makes one wonder whether the Perseus will be worth the crew. View...

TCS-4 black, Aril Quicksilver core, pack and helmet, Lumin V w/3X, light and suppressor, 6 batteries, multi tool, Curelife, FSK8, 2 grenades Very fast w/ good carry but needs concealment, cover and constant motion to evade; and memorize CureLife colors. Drop pack to FSK8. (CIG does not list...

So far as I am aware, all of the Vanduul designs are based around ramming. To do that you need to power the shields, which in their case means you are not using stealth. Vanduul designs run hot, and are not well suited to stealth, though they can be equipped for limited sneaking. My fear is...

The main trouble I see with the Esperia designs is you can’t change out the weapons. The Vanduul plasma cannons are designed to overheat the target while they shred which is pretty fun, but no options for designing your ride save putting a stealth reactor in. That means no shields so no ramming...

Word is there will be an Esperia release soon of this heavy fighter. Conjectures contradict one another but it is a heavy fighter with 1S5 pilot gun, 2S2 turret and 2S5 missile launchers, intended for a crew of 3 and built for ramming. Pics are of a beautiful heavy fighter and the unusual thing...

Note that Bob Iger and the board at Disney had already responded well before the FCC chimed in. The trouble was the gaslighting Jimmy was involved in, and ABC, Disney and the FCC didn’t want to see Jimmy fan the flames started by his lies to the point there was a legal action. In short, Disney...

Since folks don’t seem to get the reference, it’s from the film Serenity. View: https://youtu.be/U-NVs68X_S4?si=fTMKsxdvxu6nDMi_

If you are planning to attend ground combats, I recommend the Medivac. Don’t discount the missiles. The Medivac has twice as many and if you can lock ground vehicles those missiles can make a difference. The turrets don’t matter so much as you’ll want to load your preference anyway, but 8...

I likewise once had a horse try to throw me. It was in a horsemanship class at college and I had already been riding for 15 years. A few of the horses we were assigned had already been out on the trail in the beautiful Willamette Valley South of Portland (wine country), and they were hungry...
