    BMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    I was rather curious about the hangar, and well, I was crunching some numbers. So I couldn't find the size of a landed Banu Defender, but from a few landing-gear-animation videos I think I got a pretty good estimate, it goes from 33.5x13.2 to 22m x 22m. Then there is this picture Which I used...

    BMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    Let's focus on that Hangar for a bit there, it can fit a BANU DEFENDER inside of it. Which, I mean, of course because it's a Banu Merchantman, but the thing about Banu Defender is, it's freaking huge as far as small ships go. 33.5x13.2x4, though it folds a bit when landed. However, if the hangar...

    Seriously, no BMM thread yet? Okey, well, I guess I'll start one. So, short of it: 2800 internal cargo, Markets Hangar Bunch of weapons Point defense More weapons Did I mention weapons?

    2nm transistors

    Hmm, interesting. Look here: 1971 10 000 nm - 1981 1 500 nm 15% of previous 1991 600 nm 40% of previous 2001 130 nm 21% of previous 2011 28 nm 21% of previous 2021 4 nm 14% of previous (4 nm is mobile processor, but...

    Anyone think the Kraken without pads and more guns is pretty sweet?

    I don't think the Drake design philosophy was to make piles of junk fly, I think it was to be highly utilitarian. Just hyper focused on the task and nothing else. So if it's a Drake version of battleship, I figure it'd be like a thick, solid piece of metal with big guns and an engine. Maybe some...

    Roadmap Roundup

    The only mention of it is for the ships though: The words used are cargo and packing, as opposed to just storage and storing. If it was a mistake and they meant that you play Tetris with the goods against your hangar wall, well, then that's a mistake they repeated twice, and in two different...

    Roadmap Roundup

    Rounding up the roadmap gets my thumbs up, but I don't understand how it got so square to begin with. Hmm, "allowing players to buy cargo and send it to their hangars, then maximize their cargo storage space by allowing them to pack the goods themselves." That's pretty interesting tbh. There...

    Nautilus Escort

    Yeah, I don't really know what you'd want to use as lookouts either, I figured that quantum interdiction might work since, well, that way you ensure they got like 20-30km to fly, giving you around half a minute of advance warning. But maybe something like Endeavor with huge satellite dish...

    Nautilus Escort

    I'm not really sure what the situation would be, but I think that for minelaying operations you don't want escorts, you want lookouts. You're not going to continue laying that minefield under fire anyhow, that seems like a quick ticket to blowingyourselfup-land. So maybe like 2-3 Mantises 15km...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    While all other freelancers are definitely smaller than a Connie, Freelancer Max is actually (a lot) wider. Now, Connie is taller and longer, but unless it is a very peculiarly shaped wormhole, there wouldn't necessarily be a difference between the two. A Connie could fit through a smaller...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    No, Taurus supposedly has this system where the bottom of the cargo bay splits open, ejecting the cargo. It was like the main selling point in the Taurus brochure. I think there will be ships that will have it, and ships that wont. Taurus, cargo bay splits open and before deactivating the grav...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    Even if Taurus had exactly the same amount of Cargo as Max, it'd still be vastly more suitable for transporting volatile materials, making it potentially much more profitable in that niche. Having larger cargo hold is just a bonus, the important thing is you can dump the cargo if things go...

    The next big (little) thing. . .2nm chips

    Oh cool, that's 30nm smaller than the 32nm i7-2600k I got. Lmao.

    This is: Brilliant, Bonkers, Bright, Beautiful, Bananas, and other cool words that may or may not start with the letter B and can in some instances be preceded by such words like "absolutely."

    Anyone use a portable secondary monitor?

    Something like ? Oh wait, you wanted a touch screen that doesn't interrupt SC? I think any touchscreen would count as alt-tabbing, taking the focus out of SC. Maybe you just want a cheap Chinese tablet then? Personally, I just use my phone to look up stuff while in SC.

    All about 3.14

    While I agree with more or less everything else you said, I don't think civilian ships would really suffer tbh. Any ship that's large enough to have escape pods, should give players inside that ship a realistic chance to use those escape pods, otherwise they're just decoration. So even the...

    Railen Q&A, Hull B Change

    I think it's highly situational: - If you're transporting something corrosive/flammable, a single bullet sparking a single crate in single cargo hold could destroy everything in that hold, in which case separate holds would be safer. - If you're transporting metal, doesn't matter if a bullet...

    Not really. I merely don't think the armor will entirely replace the shields. But if you can drop S3 shields with couple well placed shots like that, then the armor would need to entirely replace the shields, because you simply wouldn't gain any benefit from the shields. Besides, if you can...
