    Mistakes will be made

    Classic? It was released in '96! Man, I must be old ... I remember playing Super Mario Brothers with my oldest two kids before they were 5. They're now both 35

    TL-DR: question A) Yes, and B) Maybe but not necessarily. This is like part of my life, so no problem. I design the software chemists and physicists use to figure out how to do things like make a new drug, or read the spectrum of DNA or the light coming from a star, or whether that natural...

    Hi! Good to meet you. Welcome back, we're mostly new scum now compared to you. Hope that's OK.

    LOL there goes my bank account again, money pouring out like it's made of a scive.

    Long response... That was a good read! Thank you! TL; DR: This answers a good chunk of the questions, and I can now kind of draw a line between QT and wormhole travel. Don't read if you don't like real world theory. I promise, no math, for reasons that I have no idea how to do math of what...

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

    Any multi crew ship with 3 or more seats, depending on how many friends. You want something for them to do too, not just sit there and decorate seats, so maybe cheap multi purpose for now, with an eye on upgrading at some point when new funds come available. For me, that worked out to a Connie...

    I'm going off pure memory here. A) The interdiction field should affect any QT drive, but there may be workarounds. There's a hole in the lore here, because Nick Croshaw invented QT, but travel through a wormhole should really require simply transit into the wormhole. Also, if it's a...

    3.7 and Events and More

    I have an Aquila fortunately, which has been in the game for a long time. I think I'm missing only 3 or 4 of my ships in total. Where's your Torus? That's been off the roadmap for a long time, man it was in the game for a while too. That would drive me nuts. I'm also looking at bugs that...

    I have to do that too lol, and I've spoken English almost my whole life. I've been to Rotterdam, The Hague, and a few other places by the way, that was a while ago but I have a pile of friends and colleagues there. The Netherlands and the history of Lotharingia was a big part of what got me...

    Hello

    Welcome to TEST. Some of us might develop some questions... Like can you spare a loonie or two? No hang on, that's not right. Ah, I got it... What's your poison? (and if you say any Molson's product, just remember you can only die once.)

    Literally, handwavium. Since they wrote the game, the can add that wherever they add an interdiction force, for however long they want.

    There is no requirement in TEST to join a group activity, or any activity. Right now SC is not a really good group game, certainly not a really good org game. We can only have 50 players on a server, and generally that space is shared with other players from other orgs too. You can't put a...

    That would be very cool Owl, but don't hurry too fast, we don't even know if 3.7 isn't going to be as buggy as Petawawa in July. no wait, nothing can be that buggy. And those things are so big they have landing lights. Anyhow any time, I'm sure there are a lot of testes that wanna invite to...

    WAIT... we do group mining. It's not happening right now, other than individual players forming groups themselves, because the game was so buggy for a while, but it is happening. The current plan is to start it up again when 3.7 drops at least if we can. We also do other fun things as a...

    3.7 and Events and More

    What's hard to explain is that I agree for the most part. But what I want is for CIG to deliver on what they've already promised BEFORE the Prospector. And I have a prospector. Where are those ships? I think they owe us a timeline for all of that, and then they need to stick with the...

    I've been saying for a while that this game is not for loners. It's people that can play as members of a team that can excel here and this ship is just one more mile of pavement in that road. For TEST, if we can learn that, and expect it, we have a massive advantage just because of numbers...

    Yeah it looks kinda cat like except for the thing protruding from the head. Last thing I want is more surface area than I need. um. Don't look at my belly. Stop that!
