As many others have already asked...why do you want to learn C++ (or any particular programming language)? Let's give a for instance...."I grew up playing DikuMUD and I want to learn not just how to run my own server, but to make modifications to it as well." (I think Diku was written in...

The Origin 600...basically, the Connie Andromedia pre-nerf. Maybe a bit bigger, maybe a bit smaller. A true Space Superiority Freighter. Guarantee that if they do this, they will have a revolt on their hands...

To some of the best people in the world.... Happy Canada Day and congratulations on 150 years

Note, there is yet ANOTHER forum badge associated with this pre-sale. Last time there was a presale with the eclipse, those that bought it the first day got early access (by about 5 minutes before it was posted all over spectrum and here) to picture of the Nox...

For those that do not know and are wondering what LTI is... LTI = lifetime insurance...on the hull and basic systems. It means that if your ship is destroyed, you will get a ship in a similar condition back. That means you can't avoid repairs. If you don't repair it, when it gets destroyed...

Waxing Nostalgic.... My first online game (other than MUDS and my dabbling into UO) was EverQuest. Even with the (now) cheezy midi music, the blocky characters, the bugs, typos, and game design issues, I can log in and will still get a tingle walking into surefall glade or the city of Qeynos...

The surprise factor are the easter eggs we get. It's a space sim-ish game. There will be combat, there will be trade, there will be heroes and villains. There will be pirates, privateers, and the navies that catch them. There will be riches gained and lost...sometimes in a single day. The...

This looks like a one person spacebike. What does that mean? No idea. It might be smaller, meaning it will fit inside smaller ships better. This could mean it might fit in the cutlass (not sure if the current door would allow the drake inside, not sure about the revised version of the...

I agree with I_Mike_I. This is an older computer (4-5 year old chip from when it was new) and computers go down in price really fast. You are much better parting it out on ebay than selling it whole.....for a whole computer...I would not pay over $500 for this machine. Good luck and I hope...

RIP the once and future Batman!

The first and second stand are now fully assembled. Only 2 bags left to go. The detail and design on this are just amazing. My experience with Lego ended about 3 decades ago, excepting the occasional set I got for my nephews and nieces. Those are fairly basic in comparison. My hat is off to...

My set was delivered yesterday. I am taking pictures of the assembly process and so far, things look really good. Right now, I have completed 5 of the 6 bags needed for the first stage. I thought for sure I had been sold a bill of goods based on just the first pack, but no, this thing has...

If you are using spinners on your laptop, that is your issue (bottleneck) right there. Trust me, get an SSD and you will not believe the performance improvements you will see. I had platters on my machine and updated it to an SSD. Boot times went from minutes to 20 seconds. Load times for...

Do not try to get SC in 4k. I know this is not what you want to hear, but right now, the engine and back end servers are just not capable of getting you decent frame rates, no matter what you play on. If you are looking to play WoW in 4k, yes, that spec will more than do it. My wife runs a...

Ok, took my 85x out for a spin (it was a LTI token) DANG that little ship is nice. I had an easier time taking out ships in that thing then I do in some dedicated combat vessels. The toughness of that thing is also just off the charts. It's definitely a worthy ship. The fact that it can...

I completely agree @Stevetank . I put out a number of roles, but most of them can be rolled up into one or two people for a small group. The reason I put so many roles is so that if groups get really big, you can split out roles and responsibilities and not have one person be responsible for...

My thoughts on convoys in SC. First off, I see this are more like a naval convoy than a land convoy. While there is a "best route" and a start, an end, and maybe some waypoints you must hit along the way, the rest of the route is up to you. You can go straight/most direct, or you can detour...

holy thread resurrection Batman! seriously, anyone who wants to drive the Cat, let me know. It's the fly free ship this month. I would love to fly it with real crew.

After some research... if you can. And ONLY if you can...hold off 1 year. Build an i5 with a 1060 video card if you absolutely have to, then give it to your mom/dad/brother/sister/in-laws/work friend/etc as a birthday/winter holiday present. Then, after all this is sorted out by next year...

Ok, don't know where you got your price, but Wired is saying 1700 https://www.wired.com/2017/05/intels-new-processors-built-high-powered-future-pcs/ Now, for the question. What experience do you have building your own PCs? My own experiences and then recommendations: I have built all my own...
