The more I use the new flight model, the better I like it compared with the old kindergarten flight model. At least conceptually. It has some bugs, I'm likely to get stuck in VTOL mode more often than not, and some of my ships have view restrictions that make it difficult to tell what you're...

This is something I've been watching, because I have an A2 and not likely to trade it in at least for the moment. It's SCM is surprisingly fast for a ship of this type, and it's armament is surprisingly strong. The A2 does have some serious weaknesses though, starting with its surface area...

Yes, that's pretty much how I see it too. These are for offensive maneuvers, invasions and protecting areas temporarily. And show of force. I put far less stock in NPC crew but that's just a kind of personal preference. A base is better protected by fixed positions, though it would be nice...

They're still available, but you have to buy a package they're in with other ships... it can get expensive. Nothing bigger than the Connie Aquila seems to be in the upgrade list, and some of the ones they list will tell you "not today buddy"[sic] when you try.

Hey good luck! I put myself through college working in industrial security. Had no interest in police work, but I have 2 uncles and 3 cousins who were in the RCMP, and one who's in the state police in NY. My wife has an uncle who just retired as a city police chief in Southern Texas. All...

I love that! I own the claymore too. Designing security systems is a kind of hobby for me, something I wanted at one point to turn into a business but as luck would have it, that never materialized... but it flourished as a hobby. A few years ago, I designed a system, as a joke for a...

Not I, with 32 Gb RAM. I haven't played SC with my 16Gb laptop though, don't think I can at the moment even if I wanted to. Think the kid "borrowed" the power supply.

They have some serious work to do on the flight model too. Wow. I was landing the Connie and it was sliding down hill after the engines were off. Then it turned around, rolled and accelerated, in the opposite direction. Before coming to a complete stop it somehow ripped the engines off of...

They are manned vehicles, not automated. Though you might be able to use an AI instead of an actual player. No info on fire links to spotters yet, but there will be a clamor for them to hurry up with the rearming process, which I imagine will be an add on for another vehicle like the URSA or...

I don't think these are designed to be used alone. I can think of a few use cases where they would be highly advantageous to have around, like just after we blow up another org's base, and before the Pioneers arrive to build ours, even while they're working.

Just read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I think those are the same dimensions as the Tonk... so maybe?

You've apparently hit the same difficulties I have. I mean other than the NPC cop that blew me up for not coming to a full stop... except my engines weren't even on... I turned them off to try to get them to stop firing at my apparently moving stationary ship.

I love what you're doing. I used to do it too, back from 83 to 98 to help with my work, and as a hobby from 2005. Nothing serious, just something to get ideas out of my head. I discovered Arduino almost by accident in 2008, and cut my "investment" in the hobby by something on the order of...

Yep. that's pretty much the only limitation for most people, but you can also build your own sensors and actuators, motors etc. It can be a fun hobby if you can get into it. If you have the right tools, you can even build the Arduino devices yourself. That includes the Pro Mini by the way...

That depends on your imagination or need, and ability to write a sketch. It helps if you know at least the basics of C++, or some other object oriented programming language - but the instructions at https://www.arduino.cc/ starts you off from scratch. It can be a lot of fun, and an...

Welcome to TEST!

Just don't squeeze it too hard.

Not quite necro yet, but close... 2 welcome threads... the other is here https://testsquadron.com/threads/hi-test-bros.15701/
