Yes, yes and more YES! Idri all across the ‘verse shall be known to munch a bunch of cadets. Btw for those interested, if you just fling yourself at the bridge windscreen during EVA, you will slide right on in. Seems a weird door but it is what it is.

I think when players see the outrageous range and horrific damage the rail gun does, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth from those who want the M. In fact, my psychic mind meld with the Universe definitely possibly maybe suggests “The M” will be a thing whispered in hallowed tones and...

I realize those fans of the game are judging based upon many years enjoyment of their pastime and I can’t speak to that. What I can say is Paramount does seem to have pulled out all the stops and delivered fast action eye candy unlike anything I have ever seen. These are tools and weapons as...

I can’t see the vid either, which is weird because I watched it and some others. It’s season 2 episode 1. They may have posted it for a limited time only just to gather viewers. My take away is that it’s good. I was lured in by an animated trailer of a squad jumping out of a transport into a...

Em. . .so your complaint is the actor of Master Chief didn’t know who that was before he took the job? You know that’s pretty common, right? And yeah certainly one’s ability to act is hampered by a helmet. You note Mando but Pedro Pascal almost left the role when they explained he needs to...

I thought 250 useless currencies was crazy, but that link appears to have 100/page and 89 pages. No, I’m not taking their cookies. I’m just asking, are there really that many kinds of crypto in the world? It just seems should have been outlawed many years ago. So many Ponzi schemes. So many...

I recently saw an advertisement for an app that tracks 250? different make believe coinages. Kinda puts worthless currencies into proper perspective.

The thing I want to hold up as a crowning achievement is the Spartan battle suit. Paul Verhoeven wanted desperately to show this kind of thing in his depiction of Starship Troopers, and indeed I think the concept does show up first in Robert Heinlein. What we actually see here on the screen is...

Looks like the Vanguard is about six meters longer and wider than the Legionnaire. So yeah, despite they call for the same landing pad size, that difference should be enough to fit the Legionnaire into the Polaris hanger, whereas the Vanguard will not fit. If you’re willing to put just a...

The Legionnaire is bigger than the Terrapin, but not so big as a Vanguard. Pad size really doesn’t help when you’re looking at big deck spaces like the Idris. I think the Idris will be able to squeeze Legionnaires a bit closer than folks might guess. Also, though I haven’t checked, I’m pretty...

The Legionnaire gets even fewer loves but the whole concept is full of awesome. I think when it actually arrives and players see what it can do they’ll fall in love.

Apart from all this, my primary objection is the Space Turtle costs too much. It should be $100 cheaper. Fat chance that happening.

There are several vids arguing for different notions for the missing Zeus. I can only say what I’m hoping for. In a universe at war, it is strange indeed there are no ships in scout configuration. Only smallish explorers put some slight emphasis on such design and my guess is the reason behind...

I dunno. Originally, the Sukorans were the first boy shields to provide defense against ballistics, so I always justified ownership of a Defender or Prowler in order to put their Sukorans on the Sentinel. Now the original claims you can’t buy Sukorans without their ships are under dispute, and...

Need to put the latest brouhaha somewhere. https://apnews.com/article/mandalorian-gina-carano-lawsuit-lucasfilm-disney-37be85aeaa856492e3d5008add8e5100

As with fuel management, we’ll have to wait to see. What CIG has said, is that with multiple radars you can check EM, IR and RCS simultaneously, or that you can take one radar (really should be “sensor”), and assign it high gain/low coverage to extend its range. So supposing that will happen...

Just found this vid comparing these exploration ships. Since the Zeus reveal I’m waiting with baited breath on the ES, as it seems to address the few things I’m not crazy about with the 400i. The vid’s analysis is fair but misses some important points. First, it appears the ES will have a...
