    is server meshing set to become industry standard?

    CR has vision, he has imagination, and he does have some skills, but just because he has those does not mean that he can actually pull off what he says. The original scope of SC/SQ42 was ambitious, forward thinking, and well within the ability of him to create in the next 5-10 years measured...

    Info dump at Chinese event

    OceanOdyssey posted this in spectrum for those that would rather read All ships in the near future will be nameable. Doors will be strengthened to make breaches harder. Missions designed exclusively for capital missions are planned. Torpedoes will have a minimum range to prevent their use at...

    is server meshing set to become industry standard?

    Okay, let's run with that. You are in an idris that has just been hit by another idris's rail gun directly in line with the gladius you are sitting in waiting to launch. In order to perform the damage assessment to your gladius, it will need to determine the damage to the idris (space server)...

    is server meshing set to become industry standard?

    It is still across servers with the calculations for what it hits being done in a time lagged environment. Also, if I fire a weapon is that on the space server side, or the crew side server? What about someone who is inside an Idris, climbs into a Gladius that is parked inside said Idris, then...

    Anvil Asgard looks to be a modified Valkyrie

    With the engines up there, it also has some interesting VTOL possibilities

    is server meshing set to become industry standard?

    Server meshing/sharding is already place in many games a,ready. Going from one server to another without a loading screen has been in WoW starting with dragon flight (moving between the above ground to the underground zones is switching servers. While there are other methods of traversing...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    hydroxychloroquine is used to treat RA. I know, because that’s what I have been prescribed in addition to an anti-inflammatory. However, I had to stop taking it as I got a viral infection and being on hydroxychloroquine can prevent your body from fighting off that type of virus. It also has a...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I understand why people get upset. Vaccinations are NEVER perfect, but they do a heck of a lot of good. We all know anecdotally of people that either were "killed by the jab" or those that were "died because they refused the jab" No matter which side you "support" (and each person's "truth"...

    The Chinese knock-off of SC: Quanga

    Obviously, not as polished as Star Citizen it has several things SC does not…like working elevators Seriously, this is exactly what CR meant when he said that if it took 10-20 years to develop SC, they would lose a lot of competitive advantage. 20 bucks for a game like this isn’t bad. I am...

    Phoenix Upgrade (from any ship)

    You cannot CCU to a phoenix or any other hull limited ships (890, pioneer, Idris, javelins, kraken, etc.) IIRC, Back when the Connie was split into 4, you had a choice of what to get, but tht required you to have the Connie back near the original kickstarter. The most reliable way to get one...

    Thank you. It captured the essence of Cosmic, his enthusiasm, his character, and his passion.

    Citizencon Direct

    Not sure it was the crashing...although watching CR blame the computer was hilarious...I think it was more of the crunch beforehand. Labor laws are fickle things, and employee morale is hard to grow after abusing it. CR abused both last year. Forcing employees to work every day for multiple...

    Citizencon Direct

    I am hoping that their stated reason is the real reason behind the move...or maybe they don't think they would get people into the US (but they could have done Montreal) My FEAR is that they are going to have a delay in SQ42, or like last year, people were be expecting more of a "we are...

    Paging CosmicTrader, if you see this please drop in!

    Ahh man. I was hoping he would recover quantum speed cosmic, and may the jump gates always be open to you

    Berkut Golden Eagle

    Russia doesn't have the ability to even produce its current most powerful tank in any kind of meaningful numbers, nor its most powerful combat aircraft. Simply put, Russia doesn't have the ability to put anything like that in the field for DECADES, if then. Even the US would have a hard time...

    Thunderbird 3 is F.A.B.

    You say indoctrinated, I say that a lot of people are looking at his actions and are forming their own opinions. Musk has a lot of qualities, both good and bad, like most people. Unfortunately, like a certain person named Chris R., he has a big habit of overpromising, underdelivering, and...

    Drake Golem and ATLS Geo

    Can they be that daft? Yes...yes they can. Okay, let's talk about ways they might change things. Now, I have not been hand mining in ages, so it may not work this way anymore, but IIRC, you would break, then tractor them up and they would go automatically into your backpack. Maybe this has...

    Drake Golem and ATLS Geo

    Here is the thing, the Vulture and Prospector were supposed to BE the starting profession ships. With the crazy ship prices though, they now feel they need to introduce cheaper entry ships, driving up the price of the old "starters"

    Drake Golem and ATLS Geo

    That was my point....CIG introduces the GEO, and to force people to use it, they remove the ability to harvest with the multi-tool as it's "not real enough" Same with salvage eventually, just like it is with the tractor beams.

    Drake Golem and ATLS Geo

    Let me guess, with the introduction of the GEO, we will no longer be able to mine with the multi-tool?
