Absolutely. This thread is really for reflections on the entire film industry. BTW, I don’t want it to be all Disney hate. All the reports are that Maul: Shadow Lord is excellent, but I haven’t seen it yet so haven’t reviewed it. It is being hailed as a return to pre-Disney, Lucas themed SW...

Yup. Another Gatak ship is coming so very well could be they added a snub to the Railan. They also added a means to more easily reach the exterior pads on the Liberator, and finished the Vanduul Mauler. The Mauler is now larger than the Idris, so may be replacing the Marauder, which was...

While on the subject of bounty hunting, has anyone heard rumor of the Zeus MR anytime soon?

The point is, words are not violence. Freedom requires people be able to offend. It’s not that taking and giving offense is in itself good, or right, or just. It’s that policing people based upon whether they offend someone somewhere necessarily turns police into a force of coercion and...

As to San Francisco, I do urge folks interested to search the data. What is happening in SF is unprecedented. The US has had cities fail before. I recall the fall of Detroit when the Japanese beat America to fuel efficient, front wheel drive cars in the 70’s. That city built on autos writhed for...

I think you have the US mixed up with the UK. Free speech is alive and well in the land of the free and the home of the brave. It’s the UK that has locked up 18,000 of its own citizens last year for memes posted, literally three times as many as Russia locked up. I can confidently say that has...

<<Those the same ones? Or are we looking at $58B total? If so just how much money does California generate to burn it like that?>> My bad. The sunk cost right now of CA’s bullet train is indeed $54B. Originally projected to cost $33B, projections are now ~$250B and no one believes it can be...

Those were the late comers. Who remembers AOL in the early 90’s?

I like how many people are humble enough to crew. What I’m wondering though, is if there are some real benefits to tracking our experience. I know I’m more likely to bring on someone who has previously played engineer than one who has not, or sat second seat to calculate quantum jumps. Some...

I don’t own any big ships and don’t plan to own anything larger than a Polaris, but with the offering of this new battlecruiser I am wondering again how to motivate TESTies to serve aboard these big ships. I wonder whether there’s a way as an org to motivate players to sit a turret, stock...

That looks pretty good compared to CA’s $28B high speed rail with not a single length of track laid.
