    Dual Universe kickstarter

    While I agree that most P2P games have failed and gone F2P lately, I don't see this as a failure of the model. I think a subscription model is still very viable. The problem is the developers. The games themselves are the failure. I don't see the problem as a paid vs free issue or a sandbox...

    Test Squadron vs Whp Battle for Kareah

    That looked like fun. I think they should have a purpose for events like this built in the game. Right now, it's just players generating "emergent gameplay". However, if CIG recoginizes events like this and provides incentive to engage in similar gameplay, the game will be so much better for...

    F8 Lightning is going into concept sale!

    That would solve the issue. Just as long as the ship remains largely unattainable to the player base. I have no issues with a company making profit. Everyone has bills to pay. CIG at 300+ employees in several locations would have a ridiculous amount of bills. I would hate to see their...

    F8 Lightning is going into concept sale!

    I had to vote against the F8 coming out for sale. The reason I did, is the same as a few others have mentioned. In order for NPC security to work, they need to have a "big bad wolf". They need something that we, as players, cannot compete against without some serious effort. The F8 has been...

    Propagandist Collaboration/Spotlight

    So I was meandering around the internets, wandering if you would, and I came across a picture. Instantly, I knew what I wanted it to look like and what I had to do with it. Now that I am done, I am not quite sure where to put it. So I think this is a good spot? So that happened...

    [PU 2.5.0 HANGAR] Does anybody know, where the item port for the Starfarer is?

    This is me every single time I want to show off or change things up on my starG. It is infuriating that they would put these things points on the floor without even a thought to marking them. Honestly, there are markings on the floor. How fking hard would it have been to just move, alter, or...

    RSI accounts are being hacked, ships stolen - use the two-step-authentification!

    Good catch there Sam. It makes me glad I went with the 2-step a while back. I am usually fairly paranoid about these things since most of my family is in IT. They let me know all the latest paranoia inducing facts. Like the fact that there are between 300 and 400 million new malware produced...

    Show off your rig!

    Lol, and thus was born PMDA (Perpetually Messy Desks Anonymous). Hello, my name is Bruttle and I have a perpetually messy desk. My desk has been empty soda can free for 2 weeks now...

    Show off your rig!

    Did you actually have a close look at my post? Full disclosure: that took about an hour prep work. I had to clear the marginally empty soda cans and random paperwork/junk off our desks prior to the picture. I did not fully succeed. We are gamers. That is me, that is my wife, and that is the...

    Why the starfarer might be the only big ship you can truly start in

    We actually do, after a fashion. We can compare what we are paying now. For every half dozen jumps across the current verse, it takes me around 1.5-2k auee. This, of course will change. However, this is just the fuel for a super hornet over about an hour. Just imagine how many hornets you...

    Galactic Tour’s Combat Ship of the Year: SuperHornet vs. Vanguard Warden

    I urge you to read the post, particularly the quote attached to the statement you quoted. I was talking about the M7A gun and not the F7A ship. Of course we are talking about the super hornet. That's why we are here. I actually have two super hornets (F7C-M), hence my ability to tell the...

    Galactic Tour’s Combat Ship of the Year: SuperHornet vs. Vanguard Warden

    I actually had this happen out in the PU just the other day. The fight was about 10 minutes. He just couldn't hit me because he turned too slow. My problem was, I hit him about a million times but it wasn't sustained long enough to knock out the shields. I was running an all energy loadout...

    Galactic Tour’s Combat Ship of the Year: SuperHornet vs. Vanguard Warden

    I think it's the rotating engines that just bother me. I love the lines of the retaliator, but then they mess them up by having those awkward skis rotate up when you land. If they put all the engines on the back, I would have been fully sold. The only other issue I have is being totally...

    Galactic Tour’s Combat Ship of the Year: SuperHornet vs. Vanguard Warden

    It's the super hornet for me, hands down. There are other ships that are technically better. However, they are also more "difficult" to fly. For instance, if I am really going for it, my Sabre is wicked awesome. I love that thing. It is a glass cannon though. So I really have to fly my a$$...

    Hoplite

    That's what I thought/hoped. I still love the concept of the Redeemer and I will be keeping it in my hanger until they finish up with it. It has quite a bit of promise and could still turn out to be a major player on the combat scene. Well, as long as it doesn't get any bigger. It should be...

    Hoplite

    They're still planning on reworking the Redeemer though aren't they? I haven't heard anything about them cancelling the remodel. From what I understand, the look of the redeemer is more of a placeholder and they are actually heading towards some fairly significant changes.

    Got a few more from my gym collection that are actually now working in my fighter collection.

    WALL OF TEXT Pirates vs Griefers: why you're thinking about it wrong.

    So I have been doing research into the matter off and on over the day. We all know that the events going on in the game now are not representative of the final product. The griefing and the camping that are spawning all this conversation won't be an issue in the final product. What I didn't...

    WALL OF TEXT Pirates vs Griefers: why you're thinking about it wrong.

    I was worried about the same thing earlier. I was worried about it until I got caught out in space with no quantum fuel. I can see Crusader in the distance about the size of a dime. So, I set the ship on auto-cruise and walk away for a smoke and a drink. I came back about 10 minutes later...

    Another Fleet Question

    I have a few options for smuggling as I intend to adapt to the situation and cargo. The one that I think holds the biggest promise is my Freelancer MAX. It has about the same cargo capacity of the Andromeda, same size (4-TR5 mains) engines, but at almost 1/3 the mass (30k vs 80k). So it...
