    Good old roleplaying...keep the safety word to 1 syllable, trust me!

    Careful @Radegast74, some of the syrup-sucking, maple-leaf menace lives in Texas. I might say Sorry to you. Is that aboat right? (No Canadian says "A boot". we say it more like "a-boat".)

    I have just blown my own mind...

    Not this... if there's anything that doesn't taste like mashed potato, it's instant mashed potato. Even though it's made from potato, it tastes like it was sent to an Eylmer's Glue factory at some point in the process. Sorry Idahoan, it taste like paste. This is how to make good baked...

    Pseudo Night Vision in SC

    Can't really speak for anyone else but fro me... Beer. Chicks. No, I mean little chickens. More beer. Sister-in-law story-about-niece. Made niece feel better. Then played SC for a bit.

    TWRL idea - different type off ammo.

    Yes Window and shied are two different things - to different things, and that's a problem. What is a window to one, is a shield to the other. Silicate glass (like used in glass windows in your house) is an example. It's transparent to infra-red and light, but opaque to ultra-violet. That's...

    TWRL idea - different type off ammo.

    Interesting read. If you're into it: https://physics.fullerton.edu/~jimw/nasa-pap/ If you're not into it, the math will make your brain run out your nose. Very cool stuff though

    TWRL idea - different type off ammo.

    So you know how I'm always after CIG for non-Newtonian Newtonian Physics. THEY said it was Newtonian. I called B.S. on that, not even first. So energy weapons aren't laser beams. Read issue with lasers above. I think they should be particle weapons of some kind. The shots are too dang...

    TWRL idea - different type off ammo.

    Some bit of TLDR; here too. Read last paragraph to skip. I read the above comments by the way. some good experience and knowledge in TEST. Most people who study combat physics in space have pretty much decided plain old musket ballistics is likely the best system. That's an unguided, fast...

    Pseudo Night Vision in SC

    FWIW, adjusting gamma is not cheating. nor is adjusting brightness and contrast. But. In space, where the sun don't shine it's dark. How dark? REALLY dark. What I don't get, is why we use an ASL altimeter instead of proximity radar. Makes 0 sense to me.

    That thing Montoya wants

    Drool. No I mean really. I drooled. Dunno what happened, but I want the F8.

    Piracy A pirates best friend...

    Yup. Me too. So I bought one. It is fantastic. There's one problem though, doesn't have anything to do with the Eclipse really. Maiden flight, I get interdicted. Pirate says I should bugger off (sooo... why did he interdict me if he didn't want company?), I turned to face him. Blew him...

    I have some really really really bad news...

    It's OK... it's OK. It was Barton 1792, not Texas 1835. Phew! Scared me there for a moment! Just think of all the bourbon soaked oak barrel staves though... That makes some great furniture. If I ever get a leg amputated, I want a peg leg made out of Kentucky Bourbon Oak. No better way to be...

    Thoughts on 3.2 and CONCERNE (so it's a rant ofc)

    Beer is not anti-brain juice :cry:. Tell me it's not so.

    Please don't like my thread-campaign

    Ok. How many others resemble hooters? Cuz where I'm from, that's what we call perky and large mammary glands. I'm trying to gauge how many tits play SC here....

    Thoughts on 3.2 and CONCERNE (so it's a rant ofc)

    Not trying to disagree with you, just explaining what CIG was thinking. You're right, it's a little insane to expect people to pay that kind of money to do them a favor. But quite honestly, their methods and thinking are very similar to what we do in enterprise software development too...

    Shopping for new gaming headset

    I went through a lot of headsets, both wired and wireless. I need mic integration in the headset. I am not going to use a mic that isn't integrated in my headset because echo and feedback are a nasty things, and the primary cause is exactly that, or cheap equipment. Wireless is nice, but I...

    Thoughts on 3.2 and CONCERNE (so it's a rant ofc)

    They actually tried this after the release of 3.0, but it was unstable... and the cacophony of feedback noise was deafening. They did all sorts of changes in the PU build. Then when 3.1 came along they did the changes in the PTU instead, and then rolled to PU when they achieved some semblance...

    Thoughts on 3.2 and CONCERNE (so it's a rant ofc)

    PTU is up after a 2 day break. Testing 3.2.1 now, or Tuesday and yesterday it was... I haven't checked today. Build was 808574

    German magazine for star citizen

    I do too. :-/ On Tuesday night, while testing a server side fix they tried to implement for trade, I flew my freelancer smack into a big dark asteroid on the way to Grim Hex. I never saw coming, and I had a full load of Chlorine gas. That cost me a lot of aUEC. Made it back yesterday but...

    German magazine for star citizen

    I kind of like this publication, and I read about 20 words in German. So, yeah an English language equivalent would be cool. I blew up my Caterpillar a couple of times trying to maneuver around Yela, and getting attacked. Hit asteroids trying to turn. It goes through them pretty well, if you...

    Yanno what, that is about the best advice I've seen on the topic. Totally agree.
