Yes well, when Apollo ended, the will to spend collapsed as it was built upon Cold War space penis envy, rather than a sincere yearning for exploration. The human space flight program was cut down to 1/10 what it had been and its goals pruned back to building large structures in Low Earth Orbit...

I’ll be happy for big ships to simply have huge ballistics magazines so we don’t need to reload. Fine with me. CIG promised us huge utility from workbenches that can be had no other way, including making improvements on weapons and armor. Though they said this when they released the Carrack...

This is all fascinating and exciting, but it also raises red flags about details, and there are a few things they didn’t speak on that have me concerned. It sounds like life support can be enhanced to provide for more characters (PCs and NPCs) but this requires a greater power budget. So...

What is supposed to happen is every time a crimestat player appears in core world space, half dozen security flying Penguins and such show up, and a contract is simultaneously issued through the bounty system. The security craft merely need to delay players who show up in Redeemers and such and...

This is perhaps a good time to remind folks, SC is not a game yet. We’re not players. We’re play-testers. So the whole notion of grinding doesn’t actually make much sense. It’s really far smarter to focus on learning the game mechanics than playing high Rick roulette by trading, mining, etc. In...

I would wait to decide. There are two issues. First, somewhere near thirty ships are about to get serious rework. Some of this is good and some is not. The 400i recently lost its stealth status. If it gets it back, it could become the premium explorer. Right now, the 315P is still the premium...

That is a good way to go, but you know me. I am a little addicted to seeing without being seen. The Firebird’s signature is half what the Pisces is, and it can kill opponent scouts and fighters at 25km. So there’s that. But it does take up three times the deck space of a Pisces. If you wanted...

That’s a great idea. I usually think in terms of playing against AI because I plan to play the Sons of Orion storyline, killing Vanduul. Against players you need to be more cagey. And it is also a great excuse to put a med bed in the field. I think you could make a great argument for keeping a...

Absolutely I agree the Polaris needs as many scouts as it can get, but the Razor is smaller, faster and harder to hit than the Pisces, so I’m not sure why you would use a Pisces. Four Razors, three Pisces or two Terrapins will fit in the hanger. The Terrapin has a bed and S2 scan, and a small...

If you need to land troops, the Pisces is good, but the Terrapin is better. If you’re trying to save deckspace to fit as many scouts as possible, the Razor EX has a lower sig than the Pisces, is much faster and maybe we can cut the wings off and stack a dozen in the Polaris bay. They are...

Well keep in mind, the Sabres are all medium fighters with stealth. To be fair, it should run away if it’s facing more than four fighters. That is a lot, however, and it doesn’t need to go looking for a fight. It needs to scout, and to shepherd torps onto target, which means flying with them...

For Polaris scouts you want low sig, speed, high scan, low deck footprint ( to fit more than 1) and a bonus is lethality. The Terrapin seems to fit all but the last, but it is not fast nor lethal enough to cope with enemy scouts. So yeah, the Firebird looks pretty full of awesome. If we can cut...

So the Polaris is in Erkul. Interesting numbers. EM and IR are 16-17k. Its S3 missiles have a lock range of 25km and the S10 torps lock out to 40km. EM is easy to drop to 2k by shutting stuff off. The IR won’t go below 16k even with the reactor off, which is probably an issue with Erkul. It...

David Icke is the reptile guy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilian_conspiracy_theory

I once read a book about dragons that claimed they are real and hiding in wilderness settings all over the world, but that we’re not familiar with them because of their potent “mimic” ability. They supposedly have such great camouflage that they’re near impossible to spot even when you get a...
