    Quantum Drives explained by Chris Roberts

    Yes! Good suggestion. Dr. James F. Woodward, a physicist, is the author. One other resource a lot of people use is Isaac Arthur. His youtube channel is well used by sci fi authors, and gaming companies to come up with reasonable scenarios. He covers a wide range of material. You might...

    Well, either way there's either a grammar error, or a spelling error in the OP, and I totally missed it at first.

    Bored Games

    All the expansions, including Harry Potter, and half a dozen failed "alternatives". I bought the game for my wife, but we had two teenage daughters at the time (now adults who still compete for who can buy the most Cards expansions). Now though, they also buy Pop! figures. We have enough of...

    Cards Against Humanity. Edit. Before anyone asks, yes we have THAT expansion pack, and that one too. And yes that one.

    Welcome to TEST. You're skipping a few steps that might keep a lot of the others cool to you for a while. If you're interested in Test, Introduce yourself.

    TEST Book Club - April Selection

    I feel like i need to share my reading list with you guys, but half's in Nook, half's in Kindle, and the other half is in printed books. There is even a series of books that I think might have been part of the inspiration for SC. I might suggest the opening book of that one in a while. Just a...

    As the toilet door on the 300 series doesn't shut...

    A limit is a value that you can approach, but not cross... such as a speed limit. Now, if you are at all adept at math, you will note that I did not say you cannot exist on the other side of a limit... you just can't cross it. -hIc- Well, that's the "point". Not the "Limit" Try to imagine...

    Quantum Drives explained by Chris Roberts

    This ... makes a lot of sense... Had to read it twice, but yeah. There is quite a lot of game play potential if there are inter-ship dependencies like that.

    Whoooaaaa, we're halfway there!

    Resist, @Thraesh! Grow um... aphids... or something. Or I fear your expression is soon going to be more than a :P

    Well. I ...um... it didn't work 100%.

    Quantum Drives explained by Chris Roberts

    Upvoted. btw. Chris has done a pretty good layman's description of the theory behind Alcubierre Drive. For what it's worth, you really do not want to do that inside of a solar system... but we can ignore that little detail for game play reasons.

    3.5 Feature and Sale Link - 3.5 Coming Soon™

    @Printimus, I think I see why your message count is lower ... you are more efficient. You use only one post where others might have used two. It only counts if you're a cartoon mouse. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_Little_Tailor or how "I killed seven with one blow!" actually meant...

    Ugh

    That's good news man! I hope she feels better real soon.

    Whoooaaaa, we're halfway there!

    My oldest kid is Canadian Navy and the youngest wants to be US Coast Guard in a year. It's just hard to beat the Canadian Army at ... wait. Never mind. National secrets.

    Ugh

    I would be too, I know full well how that feels. You can only guess what's wrong and you feel powerless to help. Just go sit with her, let her know this strange place (has toys that daddy approves of...) is OK.

    CIG / Crytek

    This is kind of standard operating procedure. It's part of the reason many companies doing business with Americans often have a Delaware or some other state corporation to maintain their US assets, handle legal affairs, etc. The most curious thing to me is that Crytek didn't bother with that.

    Whoooaaaa, we're halfway there!

    Well it might not be fair to make that comparison. @Blind Owl joined a month before you did. And he's Army.

    CIG / Crytek

    This is part of why I thought the lawsuit was Crytek saying their Hail Mary. If they lose this, no reputable company will use their product again. I think they really wanted CIG to buy them out, or settle to avoid bad publicity. I don't think they expected CIG to have balls.
