(The bit you need to be concerned with if you're traveling, is the 1.5 Mbps throughput) There is a substantial gap between *my* definition of "High Speed Internet" and the definition that Hilton and Marriott uses.

My vote's for Universe Domination. Doesn't mean we don't need a real-estate division. Does anyone notice the similarity between Montoya's glowering scowl, and Brain's?

So... when it's en-route to a build site, my Pioneer is going to be one honking big slow ass moving barn door for most of the flight. I think I'm gonna need something that can defend it against the buzzards. Ships like the Polaris and the Hammerhead owned by players looking for something to do...

Sure are thinking of it anyway. The main problem is that what I've heard so far (including today's video) is incompletely thought out. But, Chris Roberts has used the term "Crafting Economy" several times in the past - and in this video he not only links it with the land claims mechanic but he...

I only wish at the moment. Going to have to wait until the next opportunity, I wasn't expecting that ship until it was too late - but it sure would fit nicely in my fleet.

Oohh yeah I keep thinking wanting to buy a Saber next, but I need to remind myself I wanted to do exploration and operations over combat in this game. Heh. Thanks for the reminder. Not that I don't want to do combat, but exploration, mining, and things like that interest me more long term.

The pioneer does come with 1 8Km X 8Km square land claim (This was from the the initial concept sale). I *think* it still comes with that.

#1. This makes it simply a new-cash grab right now, doesn't it? Wonder what they'd do if someone asked for a refund on a ship, then used those funds to pay for a land claim in cash? Could someone do that? About Point 2: Certainly food for thought - but I am thinking that the most popular...

I believe that you will not be able to permanently steal someone's land claim - but you may be able to disrupt it operations on a land claim, including taking over mining operations etc. My Pioneer, and I suspect others in and out of TEST Squadron will be available to hire for constructing an...

Oh yeah, I'm excited about the possibilities but it needs more implementation detail at the moment. I own 1 land claim right now, from my Pioneer purchase, but if it's implemented as a piece of the economy (as is insinuated in the description, but not in any detail) then I will happily buy...

Hm. I would buy land claims but, I'm reluctant until I know how they're going to incorporate that into game play. At the moment, it seems too simplistic. (or "gimmick" as I wrote originally.)

Welcome to TEST. and, if you shoot something that wants to shoot back, it's OK. You'll just die a little sooner than you planned, which is like normal SOP for some of us.

Welcome to Test. I know exactly what you mean about the heat in Texas. It took me 3 years just to go outside in summer.

Well, I think this design reduces the number of TEST Squadron accidental suicides due to random typos, or doing a face plant on the keyboard. That sort of thing. I get it though, lots of people have been stuck in their seat, unable to get out of their ship, so some kind of suicide button...

Welcome to TEST, almost neighbor! I live prolly just a little south of ya. A friend of mine moved here, and went with a colleague to visit a client in Pasadena. As soon as he gets out of the car, he asks "What's that smell?". Without missing a beat, the guy driving said : "Money".

I got an e-mail notice this morning, that was sent last night. Slow e-mail. So now I'm downloading while also working, but this is going to be interesting. I was 3Gb into the download when I got an alert from Comcast. 1Tb for the month. Comcast gets to bill me extra now. I think it's $10...

In my defense, it was Sunday, and I did say that I was short of drinkable beer. But I dunno about sciencey, I learned that crap when I started using Blender. That's kinda artsy as opposed to sciencey.

Leaving the "collateral damage" question aside... Yeah, I do think the video is fear-mongering, but just a little and potentially for very good reason. The bar to entry in the "armed drone" club is very low, that is the concern. If you aren't following an ethical rule set, can afford to go...

My birth certificate says I'm 58 too, but I went with the experience profile instead. Now, I'm 29, with a 29 year experience profile. Welcome to TEST! and don't be afraid to ask questions, we all have to start somewhere.
