From my expiriance given that most ship to ship combat is in space, you can't get behind someone and stay there without them uncoupling and shooting back at you. If you' or them are not closing distance you are both at risk. The dual stick setup pilots are extremely good at this - their ships...

So I get in my Starfarer The Murders Child and trek off to pick up some gas to sell to the rubes in Olisar. I used to bugger off across the system to grab some from Ita but that's a waste of time, literally an hour round trip. Used to go to Tram and Myers but that's got too hot these days so...

COVID Catharsis Corner - Reports from around the world from today Thursday 16th July: - World: 140 vaccines in development around the world with encouraging results in the US and UK in early trials. Work continues, and efforts to interfere in that work also apace with various counties accused...

As far as I can work out if there is an easy limited way and a hard comprehensive way, people will usually choose the easy way because hard is only fun to a hardcore of masochists for whatever that particular thing is. So the easy goes byebye, they get everyone trying it and the feedback. all...

Looks like its making obstacles to make group gameplay. I can see the benefit of this style of targeting for group where one ship higjhlights a target and feeds it to the rest or multi-crew play where one player is sat at the Targeting Station, but for a single player this kind of...

Congratulations to all who took part!

Utter. Bullshit. Hey, put the price up to $9,999 like they do on Amazon when they run out of stock but they don't want to admit it.

Yep, when the information was put on a temporary pause and then flat-out dumped with an excuse of "well, it wasn't very reliable anyway because X" pretty much everyone who was paying attention then asked "Then y u no make reliable by fixing X?" with no reply. It was one of the things the...

Aha, cool. In that case I'd go with the opportunist extortion line: I'd follow them until they ran out of some basic supply (perhaps caused by a semi malicious action by myself) that would mean they'd have to call their expedition short and go back to port if they didn't get some, and then...

I think I get what you are saying (I think) and yes I agree with the long term trends thing - when the UK was only testing cases in hospital the positive number to tests conducted number was ridiculously high because they were only testing people who were obviously sick with COVID-19. Long term...

I hear what you are saying, however a similar thing happened in the UK with only hospital cases being tested for months, then medical and key workers, and then not so long ago the general public with anyone who wants a test able to get one. They upped daily testing to 100,000 a day, then...

News just in: Squirrel tests positive for bubonic plague in Colorado. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/07/14/bubonic-plague-detected-squirrel-jefferson-county-colorado/5433585002/ Damn 2020, leave some surprises for 2021!

Those squares? If you are impressed by the size of a mans spreadsheet remember TEST Weapons Research Lab is in possesion of la hoja de cálculo del diablo. Also, I made a spreadsheet last week at work that is 5mb of formulas before I even put any data in it! Bow down before me and worship my...

Without some kind of goal it's a difficult question to answer. Are you out to extort protection money from the Carrot? Are you out to steal its cargo? Are you out to kidnap the crew? Are you just out to kill the heck out of it? All of the above (and more besides) have little complications...

COVID Catharsis Corner - Reports from around the world from today Tuesday 14th July: - UK: In an unexpectedly swift announcement, face coverings to be made mandatory in shops with a £100 fine for noncompliance... due to start on the 27th of July in two weeks time. So close. So far. Why do today...

I played FS '98 and Combat Flight Simulator. Think those are the only MS ones I've played. Oh, and Train Simulator. Played that too.

That would be interesting - Apparently the UK bases its early response on modeling made on viral pneumonia figures, hence all the complacency and just letting it run away with itself so those original numbers compared to what's happened here would be an interesting case study indeed. Not so...

COVID Catharsis Corner - Reports from around the world from today Monday 13th of July: - World: It took 3 months to reach the first million infections - the latest million, just 5 days. - UK: Mixed face mask messages continue from the government following yesterdays "common sense" comments -...

I'd just like to be able to use those gas/liquid tanks for cargo running. Instantly more capacity than a Cat, especially if you can compress the gas to liquid form that would get hella huge capacity!
