One point I haven’t heard yet is that not only does it have a small deck footprint, but the shape lends itself well to stacking. So we may find given nice stats it supplants the Arrow and Razor as first choice for carriers. It’s just about small enough, and with the firepower it appears brings...

If you have ships at 500m you can’t sense, you have a hacker. There are no ships with signatures that low. That is a sig <1. I think the current low sig holder is the Razor EX with coolers, Q drive and shield all off, has an IR of 900 that might drop to 700 with the stealth switch on, until it...

Or the Vulcan. Or the Crucible.

The rear of the center engine looks like a rotating detonation aerospike, which is in keeping with the cutting edge of rocket engine design. Reminds of Thunderbird 3. With 5 engines, expect this is insane fast. View: https://youtu.be/GIkbsN1Dw_U?si=hQANXbGjiLnsJ_gS Giving the Gatlings twice...

It’s significant to me that though he laments a little latency in busy areas, and says again and again how he wants to see SC in native VR, 10X more often he is groaning, gasping, growling, howling, yelping and crying out “this is so cool!” Obviously, lack of native is not hindering his...

I love the aesthetics as is. I’m just uncertain how it gives us something new. Maybe it is extreme in acceleration even compared to the Talon? Can’t wait to find out. Still not in Erkul nor Performance Viewer.

Robert Downey Jr refuses to blame the audience for lackluster Marvel product reception and QUITS Marvel, leading a band in exodus who are all fed up with being told to BLAME THE AUDIENCE. View: https://youtu.be/y_Gp1o123h0?si=OCn1g48KtQhr-CRs

Similar to the Talon, though a smaller target. Bad sight picture—you’re missing all the view below because of the cockpit placement. 2S4 weapons like the Talon. Fast and nimble like the Talon. No word on the shields, but my guess is just 1S1 instead of the Talon’s 2S1. Twice the missile load as...

Did you have the same missile in all launchers when you discovered all the launchers would not fire at once? We’ve never been able to fire more than one kind of missile at a time. I suggested the Rattlers because they do about 30% more damage than any other S2 or S3, basically 4k instead of 3k.

The reviews of this ship have been abysmal. Complaints that it is a glass cannon abound because no one has reviewed the ship while playing to its strengths. So just a word how to do this. Place 4 NDB-30, 20 Rattlers, and a Slipstream. Turn off the guns, shields, Q Drive and coolers. The ship...

What a difference a lawsuit makes. Gina never denigrated anyone as claimed by Kennedy. She was wrongfully terminated because of Kennedy’s political bias and neuroticism. Congrats to Carano...

I love so many things about VR, but losing access to the keyboard. . .I need to be convinced by a vid of someone playing the entire game with just two sticks, and maybe a mouse. I see pilots do it. I need to see FPS in VR.

I agree completely and add that despite over a decade of trying, CIG still can’t get decent function density into their interiors. The wasted space that would never happen aboard a space ship is just ridiculous. They still have not fixed the 600i and the Meteor is perhaps the worst offender ever...

The USAF F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance contract has officially been given to Boeing, as opposed to Lockheed Martin or Northrup Grumman, which is a big surprise. GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney are still competing for the engines and first flights are expected in 2029. Here’s me thinking...

Yes. This is one of the reasons a room temperature superconductor is a holy grail type technology. There are three major applications of note. First is power transmission lines. We lose an absurd amount of power in copper transmission lines. If this material can be mass produced as wire (which...

Wing in Ground-effect is nothing like a new idea, but it has suffered from lack of ideal application. I for one do not trust the claim that modern computing and fly-by-wire fixes the problems as claimed in this vid. IMHO, this is not suitable for a troop transport, especially given the unique...

While on the topic of way kewl flying machines, I would like to point out three emerging technologies that are going to transform all transportation in the next few years. First are the motors. In general, we use turbines for things like helicopters because of their very high power to weight...
