^ are you flying with fixed? or using gimbals? Bucc's do suck (ha!) but using the gimbaled S4 makes the job a lot easier. You should practice Pirate Swarm, and see (the real nimble pain's in the ass are the damn P-52's). My current manuver now is to get my 4 laser cannons centered on the enemy...

Full credit should go to Flavius Josephus, who back in the Roman era described the secret to their military success: "Their training was bloodless combat and their combat was bloody training." Well, that is a modern rendition, see the middle of the second full paragpraph here...

I did it again 2 days ago and it was a blast. Definitely let me know when you want to try it again. Maybe hop on discord and ask around also, that is usually easier to find people *right now*

Thanks, I just tried signing in and was wondering why my launcher was bonkers and not giving me any options to go to the PTU or Live. I was all ready to blame the M$ patch which just disrupted all my default settings, lol!

Great, now all the unwashed masses are going to have one...I "look forward" to getting interdicted all the effin' time now...

I've been meaning to check this out...one review described it as a "Heart of Darkness" (more rather like Apocalypse Now) in space...so I'm not expecting hard-core sci-fi.

Hmm, not sure why I would want to take a Carrack to go exploring a pirate system. I'd take a Polaris or an Idris, or a Javelin...but not a Carrack!

Hey, will you marry me? lol!

Hey, if people weren't out to get me, I wouldn't have to be so paranoid! lol

Yes, my philosophy is that everybody should get proficient at the stock weapons on their ship, just so they don't needlessly waste money an upgrades.

Gimbal assist was the highlight of 3.5 & 3.6. Whatever they did to get that in-game, totally fucked fixed weapons (and they were pretty broke before, with ESP being all goofy). Back in 3.4, my Warden with a M7A was fantastic, doing bounties and sniping targets 2500m+ ... now, you could not hit...

I don't think you can fly the Connie in Arena Commander (maybe I'm mistaken). Not getting your ship on the landing pad at Port Olisar definitely sounds like a problem. Maybe you need to put in a support ticket? When do you normally play? I or anybody else in TEST could let you fly one of ours...

Spotted in the thread:

Looks like something you put on the top of your Christmas tree, lol!

Oh god...TRIGGERED! This photo is actually from a Tweet from an astronaut on the ISS; it is a photo of the rocket launch and second stage separation of the next crew coming up to join them. In the discussion of her tweet, somebody asks how come they can't see stars in the background of the...

You probably either want to play the ROM on a PC emulator, or get a 3DS or 2DS and get a copy of SM64 DS...sadly, the N64 is pretty low resolution, and doesn't look well on modern TV's. (but if you need a new hobby to funnel another $1000 or so into, go ahead!).

We are never old, those of us "young at heart" lol. Honestly, the thing I never understood about aging was how, even as your body starts (& continues) crapping out, your mind still stays "young"... And for the record, I was [REDACTED] when Super Mario 64 was released, but it really is a classic!

Nice! I'll raise your graph with another graph...just a quickie ;) There are a lot of interesting ideas in trading, like, "How to make the best trades?" It actually is something of a linear optimization problem (depending on your defiinition of "best"). In any case, most people are likely to try...

er, Welcome Back! Yes! Super Mario 64...nice to know people remember the classics: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MQO2STCbbY

Also worth noting you don't have to spend real money on ships -- ship rentals are coming soon! Somebody put together a spread sheet of the hypothesized rental prices, based on what CIG was saying: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F56ZCKsh1JKYfvh6eQrwfyAvNifj2ShrQ7P4PDL2T-Q/edit#gid=0
