    Bar Citizen Manchester 2nd March, Who's coming?

    I have had something arranged that weekend since before this event was announced, otherwise I'd go. The Bar Citizen meetup there last year was well worth going to - snagged some nice giveaways, made some new friends, I like the venue, and Manchester's generally a great city. (I got my degree...

    3.23 is bringing in some desperately needed basic features

    It looks like a fantastic release, and nicely summarized. I think it could bring a lot of more occasional players back for a look at the game's progress, and I can't wait to be one of them.

    UK Bar Citizen - Manchester - 2 March 2024

    Hey folks! For those in the UK, I've been asked to pass on word that a couple of backers are organizing a meetup at the Brewdog Doghouse bar in Manchester on 2 March 2024 - the same place a Bar Citizen was held on 17 June last year. (So obviously it isn't a TEST-specific event.) They've...

    Free insurance upgrade on my F8C lightning?

    Not so sure AMD or Intel will care very much about that, so long after those promotions ended, but I expect CIG will eventually improve the insurance for the Raven and Omega all the same, when insurance becomes a thing. Hardly a priority for now, though. From what CIG devs have said offhand in...

    I MIGHT be brewing something for Xmas....

    If these dice are reasonably close to being fair (not significantly weighted to bias any particular face), I’d definitely be interested in a couple. They look amazing! And only UK postage to worry about too.

    Frysian reporting for booty- Uh, duty

    Welcome to Test Squadron, Frysian! Glad to have you here :) Totally misread that at first, as "The issue with the standard TEST Aurora is the smell". I mean, it is, but you're much to polite to say so.

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    A Reclaimer is only supposed to be a little bigger than an Arrastra, on Fleetview/starship42.com at least: The Reclaimer is in need of a lot of interior rework, which I hope they leave until after Salvage has developed and matured more. But even in its current rough and dysfunctional state...

    Omni Sticks or Standard Sticks

    I love my HOSAS setup, Virpil Alphas on WarBRD bases with the Z-extensions on both sticks. Feels very natural to me now, using BuzZzKiller's bindings. Here's how he has them set up: Right stick: forward/backward = pitch left/right=yaw I tried two types of pedals, and gave up because the chair...

    JSON

    Absolutely - what's the point in some of us owning lots of ships, or really big/expensive ships, if we never let anyone else use them? What's the current mechanic/system for how/when ships de-spawn after the owner disconnects/logs out of the game? Some of the essential gameplay around having...

    Fusion is coming

    JT-60SA, the tokamak fusion reactor in Japan that just came online these past few days is now the biggest in the world, with a plasma radius of 3 m and a plasma volume of 130 m³. It's very exciting. Another fusion experiment under construction is ITER, based in France and led by the EU with a...

    Mixologist Masters Class

    I usually drink beer for much the reason @Dirtbag_Leader suggests, but these are two excellent cocktails, worth the effort: Old Fashioned: Old fashioned recipe | BBC Good Food - I like Woodford Reserve or a similar fairly light/smooth American bourbon for this drink. You may prefer the flavour...

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    You have Port Olisar? Nice. (Joking aside, nice fleet pic - those ships cover a lot of different game loops.)

    Hello form the south of Blighty! (Thats the UK to some folks).

    How should CIG deal with toxic players and harassment outside of the game?

    Bullying behavior and physical or emotional abuse is covered to some extent by most of our national law systems. Harassing or assaulting someone is illegal (as well as immoral). The main challenge seems to be identifying the suspected perpetrator, and presenting enough evidence to get the police...
