Yes, CIG has a huge interest in protecting PvE. Note too, piracy is pretty easily tamed by sheer numbers of even moderately competent security, and turning an interesting if trivial combat into a lethal one is simple. Don’t have 2 security Avengers. Have 8. There are many simple fixes. It’s...

So, I imagine since this has been moved to where no one can find it, it’s okay to give an update. A lot has happened on this topic that refuses to die. Lots of actors are suing Disney, Kathleen Kennedy has been ranting at Bob Iger, questions raised about whether Kennedy is staying as planned...

Who is the guy with the theory that lizard people live in the center of the Earth? I think he sold a bunch of books.

I hope this doesn’t come across as a wet blanket, but IMHO; it’s much more important to identify crew than game loops you want to play Captain in. The ‘verse is gonna be full of disgruntled Captains who purchased expensive ships and never flew them because they never pulled a crew together...

I don’t think we’re going to have a problem. Avenger is very, very good at what he does, but he has tunnel vision and seldom understands anything other than what he sees. Worse still, he is so committed to weilding this huge difference between skilled and unskilled pilots, as Montoya says; he’s...

The trouble with the Marauder and King Crab is the backward folding knee. It makes for decent speed, but it causes the Mech to bounce severely which can affect aim. If you want to dominate in the Assault class, choose the Highlander, with Black Carapace for self healing, partial wings for...

For those who use or are interested in Virtual Table Top Role Playing Games, Foundry has taken it to the next level. Choosing Glass Cannon to showcase it was a good call. I’m a fan of their Pathfinder 2e campaigns. They pulled off this demo pretty well. So Table Top is not quite dead yet...

Lol! That is funny. Whenever we think seriously about conspiracy theories, we’re faced with the fact the powers that be, whatever they are; are not trustworthy. So even though I’m not given to conspiracies, I will own they must exist and likely we have no idea what they are. A few weeks ago...

Well, we all know every profession in game will have its economics reset at beta, so worrying about it now serves nothing. Hauling will always pay and hauling in the danger zone will pay much more than in safe spaces. Let’s not complain until they screw it all up. I’m most interested in the...

::yawn:: Okay so yeah. They delivered something. Trouble is it doesn’t do anything you can’t do with a hand held tractor. So it’s just taking up space. It does have interesting dynamics and if they add armor and weapons, maybe they’ll be worth having. That’s a big maybe. With armor, a shield...

One million dislikes. I think that’s more than CNN’s entire audience. https://youtube.com/shorts/M_KdrxKZ-HQ?si=P30Nnjx3enACWh8J

There are quite a few pics of what the Titansuit should look like. Note the rail on the top of the lower leg. It appears the joint above it slides down the rail to lower the suit in order to squeeze into ships and such. This is the only suit or Mech I’ve seen with this innovation. I hope they...

There’s no interaction because you have bullied everyone else away. They’re obviously not allowed to discuss what you don’t approve of. OTOH, neither of you need to open this thread. You could instead pretend to be adults. The advent of one Star Wars site trying to cancel three others is...

I couldn’t get through this whole vid, but it is worth noting Rachael Zegler is suing Disney for cancelling a bunch of projects she had contracted, including three promotional appearances for Snow White. You’d expect that. Her lawyers want her to get paid the millions she would have had the...

In an interesting development in the story that refuses to die, a pro-Acolyte YouTube channel (StarWarsExplained) is calling for YouTube to demonetize three con-Acolyte YouTube channels for harassment of Amandla Stenberg. Accusations are that they harassed her as well as criticized Acolyte. I...

It’s shocking to look back a year plus, and try to count the number of complaints. Why have an Hispanic woman as Snow White? Why no dwarves? Why remove the love interest? Why complain about the original and call it “weird”? All that stuff inspired South Park to parody the project near a year...

In reference to strike group use, I am thinking of two specific changes as relates to using the Lib as a pocket carrier. In the past, I suggested using 4 MIS to house 12 Arrow pilots whose birds were stored internally, all supporting 3 Eclipse parked on the external deck. However, recent...

If you equip them the same: 2 M5A, 2 Mirage, 2 Slipstream, 2 Ultraflow and leave the Tromag EMPs off and retros off; the Raven is EM 3465, IR 4163, and the Firebird is EM 3515, IR 3848. However, that’s not how you would attack with your primary weapons. With guns, shields and retros off but...

All the Sabre variations are considered medium fighters. Even the Firebird, which is quite nimble; is significantly less nimble than say, the Shrike, which is a light fighter. The MIS is not a fighter. Bad comparison. I think the key thing to note is, to fly a light fighter well you need to...
