This is in Erkul now, and at first glance I noted it comes with +12IR/+12EM armor. That’s really shit armor if you want to hide. Nonetheless, I looked at it with the obligatory stealth components and with shields on it puts out a very low signature. EM 2.7 is not record breaking, but it is...

Disney sends Pedro Pascal out to BLAME THE FANS one more time, claiming the toxic Marvel fan crowd is racist and misogynist because of lackluster performance of Fan 4 at the box office. Despite Conservatives gave it passable reviews, he calls out Trump supporters as the reason the film hasn’t...

There are some underwhelmed responses to the 230 SCM. It’s a smidge slower than the 325A and a lot slower than the Razor.

Just a quick note for the science geeks and investors. . . Here is one of the greatest theoretical physicists of our time, daring to say that all of quantum mechanics is wrong. Utterly wrong. Entirely wrong. Backwards wrong. In general, scientists who do this should be expected to be burned at...

Added to the Progress Tracker are Engineering, Crafting and FPS Shields and Scanning—all very welcome. Also look for the Fresnel Electric LMG. There’s some skuttlebutt and fuss over it—people looking forward to great things. We may find out by tomorrow. Crafting coming means maybe the Carrack...

Thanks. Sounds like you saved me both grief and pesos. Thanks again.

I’m thinking of settling up a mini-PC dedicated just for SC, centered around a narrow recliner chair with its cup-holders filled with sticks, PC hidden under the chair and no display—just a head mounted display. The main reason is to conserve space and avoid excess heat generation in a smallish...

One point I haven’t heard yet is that not only does it have a small deck footprint, but the shape lends itself well to stacking. So we may find given nice stats it supplants the Arrow and Razor as first choice for carriers. It’s just about small enough, and with the firepower it appears brings...

If you have ships at 500m you can’t sense, you have a hacker. There are no ships with signatures that low. That is a sig <1. I think the current low sig holder is the Razor EX with coolers, Q drive and shield all off, has an IR of 900 that might drop to 700 with the stealth switch on, until it...

Or the Vulcan. Or the Crucible.

The rear of the center engine looks like a rotating detonation aerospike, which is in keeping with the cutting edge of rocket engine design. Reminds of Thunderbird 3. With 5 engines, expect this is insane fast. View: https://youtu.be/GIkbsN1Dw_U?si=hQANXbGjiLnsJ_gS Giving the Gatlings twice...

It’s significant to me that though he laments a little latency in busy areas, and says again and again how he wants to see SC in native VR, 10X more often he is groaning, gasping, growling, howling, yelping and crying out “this is so cool!” Obviously, lack of native is not hindering his...

I love the aesthetics as is. I’m just uncertain how it gives us something new. Maybe it is extreme in acceleration even compared to the Talon? Can’t wait to find out. Still not in Erkul nor Performance Viewer.

Cross post ad here urging readers to hop into the Off Topic forum and the Disney thread. There you will find the biggest news in entertainment in several decades. I doubt something this big has happened since Marilyn Monroe passed. Check it out!

Robert Downey Jr refuses to blame the audience for lackluster Marvel product reception and QUITS Marvel, leading a band in exodus who are all fed up with being told to BLAME THE AUDIENCE. View: https://youtu.be/y_Gp1o123h0?si=OCn1g48KtQhr-CRs

Similar to the Talon, though a smaller target. Bad sight picture—you’re missing all the view below because of the cockpit placement. 2S4 weapons like the Talon. Fast and nimble like the Talon. No word on the shields, but my guess is just 1S1 instead of the Talon’s 2S1. Twice the missile load as...

Did you have the same missile in all launchers when you discovered all the launchers would not fire at once? We’ve never been able to fire more than one kind of missile at a time. I suggested the Rattlers because they do about 30% more damage than any other S2 or S3, basically 4k instead of 3k.

The reviews of this ship have been abysmal. Complaints that it is a glass cannon abound because no one has reviewed the ship while playing to its strengths. So just a word how to do this. Place 4 NDB-30, 20 Rattlers, and a Slipstream. Turn off the guns, shields, Q Drive and coolers. The ship...

What a difference a lawsuit makes. Gina never denigrated anyone as claimed by Kennedy. She was wrongfully terminated because of Kennedy’s political bias and neuroticism. Congrats to Carano...

I love so many things about VR, but losing access to the keyboard. . .I need to be convinced by a vid of someone playing the entire game with just two sticks, and maybe a mouse. I see pilots do it. I need to see FPS in VR.
