    opinions on 2.6.1

    Actually, I would prefer they devote the resources to 3.0 vs 2.6.2... Unless there is a absolute need to balance the ship combat now (and there isn't, because it will all need to be re-balanced later with the large industrials/capital ships) this is not something that is critical. Put those...

    Could an Aurora beat Constellation Taurus?

    The Taurus doesn't have a snub....Really, it's a giant freelancer in terms of being able to defend itself...that said, it's a space truck, not a combat ship. If you want combat, you get the Andromeda or the Phoenix.....or even better, a dedicated combat ship...

    Job boards & Crew recruitment?

    way too early yet to tell. It could be really easy in game, it might be horrible in game and require something out of game or some third party provider will sort out. That said, I really hope they have it nice and in game...I have no desire to go back to ICQ chats to talk to guild (org) mates...

    Considering auctioning off my Starfarer Gemini LTI.

    Sorry about your situation and I hope it gets better soon.

    opinions on 2.6.1

    I was wondering what everyone thought of 2.6.1 as compared to 2.6 and 2.5. Honestly, I thought 2.6 lost a bit of the fun factor with dogfights, but I am ok with that. I don't really like the beefed up opponents (yes, I realize they are supposed to represent full strength ships). I think...

    Do I Really Need a Fighter?

    Please cite your source (I would love to see the primary source, not just a reddit link). I've heard this, I've heard "you can hire 2 NPCs pilot two of your ships" I've heard "if you don't have a real person in your ship, the NPC crew will fly the ship to the nearest port", and a bunch of...

    Do I Really Need a Fighter?

    it's all going to depend on what you want to do....fighters are great for arena commander, escort missions, etc. Honestly, I think having ONE fighter will be very useful. I think a mix of them would be extremely useful in a large group setting (5 gladius, 5 super hornets, 5 sabres ,5 wardens)...

    Do I Really Need a Fighter?

    Also, there is a difference (to me at least) between loaning a person a ship who is going on a mission with you, as compared to loaning someone a ship to "play around in". In the test universe, I will be glad to loan out a ship to let you play around in. Once the game goes live, I think it...

    Do I Really Need a Fighter?

    First off, buy what you want to play. Second off...it's too early to say what a lot of us will want to play.... RIght now, there isn't much beyond combat. Yeah, a few PI missions, etc, but almost everything revolves around combat of some sort or another....either doing it, or avoiding it...

    Ship Giveaway - Celebrating 2 years of Rock Raiders - Winner announced Page 6

    What I like best about Test is that people are willing to listen to you when you have an idea. Not to say that they will always use your thoughts, but they will almost always listen. That's better than I got from most of my former bosses!

    Best Weapon Configuration for Vanguard Warden ?

    I prefer the M7A on the nose. It tracks well with the other lasers in the front meaning solid hitting bursts from all guns to take down the target fast. I've played most of the ICC missions (only getting blown up on the last one with the warden doing something stupid) and it can take a...

    2.6 to PTU. Subscribers check your email

    I'm downloading now. Seeing if I can do anything with spectrum while downloading the game.

    TEST Mead bottle caps

    Be VERY Careful. Federal Law prohibits you from selling alcohol you brew at home. You can give it away to friends and family, but you can't accept any kind of money for it. This is because they are not getting any tax money from it. Saying it's for a "box" or to help cover "shipping", covers...

    TEST Mead bottle caps

    Depends on the style of mead. If you are making a traditional still mead with the alcohol strength (11-13 percent) of wine, cork or zork it. You talk about reuse, but honestly, mead won't keep beyond a few days after you open it. Just like wine, it will oxidize, leaving you with off flavors...

    This Week's Concept Sale - MISC Racer The Razor

    Connie Taurus does. It should be 3.1 or 3.2 I think. I believe it comes out in the same patch as the Phoenix.

    Who will fill the rest of your crew?

    Going to be honest here. Based on CURRENT gameplay and NPCs functioning at 90 percent of what people can do, I will most likely fill my ship slots with NPCs. That said, the reason I would do that is because I would much rather have an extra ship along than someone manning a gun. This is...

    Christmas Dinner Ideas

    Something you can make as a brunch idea (to go along with the often done shrimp, fruit, etc) Take bacon rashers and cut them in half. Cook them (microwave, pan, oven) until done. While still warm and flexible, wrap them around a piece of chunk pineapple (scallops can also be used, but...

    This Week's Concept Sale - MISC Racer The Razor

    Don't know, don't really care. Unless it's ground breaking or a huge upgrade to a next gen fighter from the F7 or Vanguard, I doubt I will get it. I've got my fleet sorted. Heck, they might even bring the Cat back as the sale item with the PTU launch. Now that's it's more than a .jpg, and...

    Christmas Dinner Ideas

    One other thing....if you have never cooked the "main feast" before...keep it simple. It takes YEARS of doing the occasional holiday meal before you can pull off something like Thanksgiving or Christmas without burning something, forgetting something, etc. Unless you have been your...

    Christmas Dinner Ideas

    Figure out your budget. A $10 meal is a lot different than a $50 meal. Figure out if you have any food allergies. (this is critical) Figure out how many sides you want. Figure out how much effort you want to put into the sides. Veggie Blend - inexpensive, easy to make, can be made stovetop...
