    I know that our auroras will blot out the sun, but I don't think we'd still have enough to form an impassable iron sphere between attackers and the escorted ship. Exactly what would stop an attacker from just flying up to the escorted ship? Nothing. There is no 'escort shield'. The only reason...

    Well, on larger ships it'd likely be larger. Larger ships are also slower. If it's something that's sticking out of the hull of the ship, it could make the larger ships easiest targets to disable shields on, which then means we'd be basically limited to using Sukorans on larger ships or...

    I think the noobifier condensed the important bits to roughly 3 min 46 seconds.

    Well, it really depends on how long a ship survives after the shield goes down, small fighters at the moment blow up basically instantly (as long as you hit them properly) and I'm not too sure that would change... Heavy fighters and anything larger than that, sure. But small fighters will go up...

    PC v PS, longitudinal price comparison

    Okey, first of all, don't take this post too seriously. It's bit of an edge of an edge case, but I just wanted to share my musings. So I got a PC in 2011, a beast of a machine for €2k. Along the way, I've done couple absolutely necessary upgrades, a new GPU for €200 a couple years ago and added...

    Honestly, most smaller ships, by the time you would've taken out the shield emitter you'd probably already dropped that shield. Even if the smaller ships now get the full benefit of the full shield HP pool, that's still just 2-7 seconds to take out one S1 shield. Now, maybe with something like...

    24 min mark is probably the most interesting info. Personally I've been a bit worried that they'd slip in the sort of direction that you'd *require* a co-pilot to be able to fire missiles at all in larger ships, but sounds like at least for now the pilot is still able to do it.

    Railen Q&A, Hull B Change

    Well, I would like to remind you, that it goes in the square hole

    Railen Q&A, Hull B Change

    Not quite sure what you mean? Anyhow, I'm just saying, loading up 40 areas instead of 1 area is already pretty bad, but if on top of that you have to move 640 boxes (320 out, 320 in) instead of 52 (26 out, 26 in), well, manually loading up Railen seems like an experience mainly targeted at...

    Railen Q&A, Hull B Change

    Wait wait wait wait wait You put standardized cargo boxes INSIDE those triangular pods? Sounds like this one will be extremely painful to load up manually. And what, There are like 40 of those triangular thingies. For 320 SCU capacity, it'd be something like 8 SCU per container. This means you...

    Ummm...I Think I Did a Thing...

    Congratulations, I'm still a few bucks short but I'll be getting there as well. Possibly next IAE.

    Railen Q&A, Hull B Change

    Interesting, learned something new there. Anyhow, I kinda figure that anything with less than 1k SCU would be more of a in-system or neighboring system trader, don't see how taking 300 SCUs on an hour long perilous journey could possibly be profitable.

    Guys, if you don't hear from me, it's because I've melted.

    Yeah, I'm moving out next year or so. Heating elements are so much cheaper than cooling elements, at least around here. I can get like 10-20€ space heater and that's more than enough to get a room or two toasty when need be, but proper ACs cost hundreds. Even the cheapest 'air cooler' (not...

    Guys, if you don't hear from me, it's because I've melted.

    Bit of a progress update: Having 1.5l bottle filled with frozen water reduced relative humidity from 49% to 44%, so that seems pretty significant. Had to put it in a bucket, it's condensing a lot of water. In another room, a 1.5L bottle of ice reduced relative humidity from 57% to 49%. Though...

    Guys, if you don't hear from me, it's because I've melted.

    Umm, what do you mean by 'dark side'? They're white, both sides. I don't see any difference in the shade of white either on the different sides. On either set (got blackout curtains for two rooms).

    Guys, if you don't hear from me, it's because I've melted.

    There isn't really a great aftermarket for AC units here, this sort of heat doesn't come even every year, and even when it does it's just a week or two. (Well, I suppose with global warming it's been happening more often lately, but still not every year). Almost nobody I know owns an AC unit...

    Guys, if you don't hear from me, it's because I've melted.

    Thank you @vahadar @Vavrik @Cugino83 @Lorddarthvik @maynard @FlyCasual @Aramsolari for your input. The wet towel idea seems good, I'll try that, I'll try to setup a fan as well. (Well, let's hope the humidity won't spike). Hmm, having ice in some sort of sealed container works as a...

    Guys, if you don't hear from me, it's because I've melted.

    It's 35 degrees Celsius outside. It's 30 degrees Celsius inside. Night it "drops" to 27 degrees outside and if I'm lucky it'll drop to 27 degrees inside. I don't have AC, this'll be just 1-3 weeks a year and I'm moving out sometime next year so getting an AC for a couple weeks seems a bit...

    let's talk about desks

    This is just my opinion, but BOY DO I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT IT! Get an electric desk. Even if you're not the kind of person who constantly switches between standing and sitting, being able to easily adjust your table to the perfect height for you improves your gaming experience immensely. Sure...

    New system to be announced at the end of the year?

    I certainly wouldn't rule it out, but I can also definitely see them starting with just one system to have us test out the mechanisms and see how players interact with a 'popular' jump point. Like see what sort of bottleneck it'll be, does it result in pirate ambushes etc.
