    Engine trails from ISS

    The power is amazing, and that is a great pic. There are people in that spec in the middle, traveling to the ISS. Their target speed is 7.66 km/s. Here's a video that includes some shots about how that looks. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwF9G9t70o

    You can buy one of the showdown ships for a limited time

    I found other devices too, but that showed up as well. I'm not 100% sure about buying parts like this at Amazon sight unseen, just because I can't touch it or look at it directly. If I can find it somewhere then I can do the comparison. If I go to Frys, a fantastic store down here you pay...

    The size of CIG is part of why I started looking at all this. I did a comparison on not the games, but the progress between Novaquark, a small indi with a similar idea, and CIG also indi but holy cow. I got an account on Dual Universe a couple of months back, and there is ample evidence...

    Welcome to TEST!!! And you'll find there are at least a few that are around even early afternoon. It's evening in Europe about then. The best advice anyone can give you on that is to get into Discord like @StdDev said up there a little ways.

    VR news: Oculus Quest owners, you can now play your PC VR games through the USB-C cable!

    This is about a prototype that I am building. It works, but not finished. Similar to HoloLens 2 in a way, but somewhat different design and use cases. Devices like HoloLens have always required special glasses to work, and they're expensive. It's still $125 /month. On the other hand those...

    VR news: Oculus Quest owners, you can now play your PC VR games through the USB-C cable!

    Give them a year or two. I'm kind of working on a related technology, visual augmentation instead of a game viewport, but we use essentially the same technology in a different way. A visual overlay instead of replacing vision. Both are essentially brand new technologies.

    That might work for ya, I mean if you bring it next time. But they make joysticks you can fit in your pocket, along with your wallet. Google "Small joystick" and take your pick. Some aren't that bad. I even saw a dual stick design once.

    Type faster? or what got said just before this... you can get small joysticks that you can pack in your luggage, just shrug when they look at you with those funny expressions at customs.

    This is really interesting stuff, thank you!!! I use Unity most of all because most of my life has drifted from C++, and then Java, to C# since early 2001, I was one of the beta testers, and unhappy with what was going on in Java development (arguments between SUN and IBM in those days). I...

    You know, Lumberyard might be in as much of a mess as Cryengine itself still. I haven't checked recently what they have, man I can't even log into SC except for Friday night and Saturday, and even that is iffy right now. I use Unity a bit, and occasionally Unreal but I much prefer Unity. (I...

    If you're handy, make one! Upsized too because you're probably not 4 feet tall.

    VR news: Oculus Quest owners, you can now play your PC VR games through the USB-C cable!

    Really good question by the way. The programming should be in the VR software, or in some kind of interface between SC and the VR if you can't otherwise configure it. It needs just to send the right input to SC, which you can also customize to match. A good model to show what I mean, we can...

    So I agree and I see how a lot of players, especially backers from some point before 2017 would feel this way, and that CR and basically the CIG publicity and fundraising, and the roadmap don't really build a lot of confidence. Less the longer they've waited. I started following SC...

    Looking for a Carrack

    Upgrade or otherwise dispose of ships that are not in the package, or upgrade the ship in the package. If you sell or dispose of the package, everything in the package goes with it, including upgrades. Be aware, disposing will get you one LTI token from the package if it had one to begin with...

    TL:DR: Ok I get it but, I have legitimate concerns IMO. It's not quite about what they're working on. These questions have been asked in the SC forums, to no avail. No answer from CIG. They aren't hard questions for CIG to answer, but we might have a few problems answering them ourselves...

    This guy ☝ has some good advice. I do that with every ship, even to learn to land the thing.

    RSI Mantis reveal

    I am not going to read a 300+ page book today, since it requires talk-back for me due to a visual impairment, and both the Google app and Windows app for that are somewhat broken. I own the book though, but it's been a while since I read it. I don't recall anything I said that contradicts it...
