CIG does like to pull money out of our crying wallets then make us wait in the corner.

True but the biggest loss of heat energy in space is through radiation and not conduction or convection.

Nicely said.

My only hope is they really do implement the Agent Smith concept that would allow you to jump quickly into an NPC skin on a friend's ship.

Nice find. Here have a beer it will make you an expert in everything.

Must be a spai. No one watches Montoya's videos.

Indeed lots of players approach this the same way. And in fact, the mission team was also doing the same thing and have been revamping their internal process to stop it.

When you spool up QT it does take into consideration objects in your path within a few km out. But I understand not wanting to calculate all of the objects in your path as that would be a huge load on the server along with the little code tricks they do in QT interdiction dropping you in front...

The issue I've always had with the tech demo of Duel Universe is the fact that they only showed the movement of players across the terrain with no interactions. They also did not go into if it's going to be client-side authoritative or server-side authoritative which matters greatly in any game...

Meshing only in that all the players can end up playing together not in that all the players can interact in the same space/time. We can go further with the Port Olisar example I gave above and say @maynard is in a different instance then @Blind Owl and I being in a third instance. The three...

Beautiful. Truly a work of genius.

Why is this a crazy idea unless you meant it as in a crazy good idea and.. here hold my beer.

Indeed, I am not sure it's possible for anyone to be honestly able to look at subjects from both sides. We all naturally filter out information that doesn't fit our world view or deem it unimportant to the conclusion. Even CIG as much as we are hyped about the possibilities of what can be...

So far QT doesn't seem to take into consideration anything other than moons and planets in the way of the target location. So I'd fully expect to be able to QT through a minefield.

Beer is the only way to sort of stop the whispers.

Can't fault this logic. Then again it does remind me of the realization that if you use lambskin condoms then it would be like being inside a sheep inside your partner.

I imagine if they keep the QT times the same and make it possible to QT from inside a planet's atmosphere then they will scale the profit margins to keep the rate of gains within their target player monetary gains. I am sure there is somewhere a target goal that gameplay loops have for rewards...

The thing is you shouldn't need to be traveling all over multiple systems and the investment is in our playtime for it to have weight and meaning for exploring and long haul trading. Short-haul trading say from the station in orbit over Hurston or from one of Hurston's moons to Hurston should...

Yep, the Vanguard is still in a class of its own and honestly, it does it well. I would add the Freelancer MIS and Defender to the group of long-range support/escort, but the Vanguard is still at the top of the list. The only issue is if someone brings in dedicated fighters with their Kraken...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who made the final choice based mostly on color.
