The original timeline didn't include the Polaris as the need for it hadn't occurred to CIG yet. Mechanically, the Idris was intended to be the largest ship a small group of players would combine to fly in events like the Sons of Orion storyline. When the Idris outgrew that role, CIG decided to...

Forgive me if I missed something here, but I was forced to skim a bit. I only see two issues here. First is whether CIG can bring Beta in before other engines like Unreal V make it obsolete. Sooner or later the day will come when the game looks so old it can't survive. There seems to be no...

“. . .Ive come to believe it’s not so much what you believe as how hard you believe it” is post-modernist nonsense and intellectual suicide, completely at odds with all previous characterizations of Indy. It’s very disappointing. It’s the opposite of what we have always seen in Indy, who has...

There is in a sense, no way to make this right. No matter how you tell the audience that Indy is over, they'll be upset. Given however they know as they do that this is absolutely the last film in the franchise, the closing scene really should be all about saying goodbye to our hero. Making it...

I have never heard anything about relations between Spielberg and Kennedy but I imagine them similarly strained. Best I can tell Steven is still a first generation feminist. I don’t see any sign in his work of hating on “The Patriarchy”. This really is the salient distinction. Mary Daly was...

I totally agree KK can and should be blamed if Indy V flops, but I don’t think the CEO needs an excuse to fire KK past all the failures she’s had the last ten years. I think on management’s part, firing her is contingent upon whether they’re ready to let go all she represents, including the...

There's a lot here. I would just quibble with the idea that Iger may want Indy V to fail. I find that exceedingly unlikely. Kennedy has been involved with gender ideology, radical feminist intersectionality and basic woke ideology for many years. I think Iger thought this is the way Western...

So here is a link to source materials for anyone interested: http://bastionkainssweote.blogspot.com/p/character-sheets.html What I'm thinking of for 6 characters (including the ship): 1) Four of the characters start with a POS ship that either gets stolen, or blown up. A few episodes in...

I'm toying around with pulling together a crew to run an online "show" based upon the Star Wars ffg roleplaying games, Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny. I love the gaming dynamic created by the narrative dice system, and I love the SW universe in general. I've watched...

Kinda reminds one that buying the Fiat instead of saving for the Jag seldom satisfies.

Someone from the big FB group is reporting they earned two million credits on a single salvage contract in just two hours. If true, I think this may be the game record high income per hour to date. Certainly it sounds like Montoya called this months ago.

God bless them! We need more committed relationships in the world. Hopes and prayers for them!

I thought the first two seasons of Mando were good, and I still have high hopes for Asoka. The stuff Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have done seem to me consistently good, and the stuff Kathleen Kennedy has done seems consistently bad. Despite I would in a pinch blame all the crap at Disney on a...

Maybe you’re not old enough to care, but many of us grew up not only on Star Wars, but Indy. We’re sad to see it debased rather than simply laid to rest in honor. For those too young to remember, everyone said the franchise had run its course and each addition would necessarily suck when the...

Why would you want a turret instead of an escort? Seems the escort is much harder to hit. Much less useful though if it can't fit into the 400i cargo bay, and I don't think it does. That bay has been too small for all sorts of things, all to fit escape pods no one wants. That is the most...

Some of the confusion here may be from our failure to stipulate terms. Could be we’re equivocating to some degree. NPCs are purchased when we buy accounts. Once they die a sufficient number of times they will “retire” and you’ll no longer be able to play them, but like ships they’re a...

Obviously there is some confusion here. Tell me, if the NPC of an account dies, what happens to the account? Account NPCs are actually PCs that aren't being "manned' at present, but can be manned in the future, so how could they die?

Yeah. Thumb-typo.

. . .at different times around the world. Coming to a server near you.

There are conflicting reports as to whether the “”NPC Pilots” and “NPC Escorts” we’ve been promised will be able to fly player ships. They may be restricted to flying their own ships. No way to know yet. It does appear at present that player owned NPCs (NPCs from alt accounts) will be able to...
