    If that’s the intention, it’s not working. When you get shot your ability to act and react is over. You just twitch and squirm, same as any NPC target. So from the first burst you’re gonna die unless the person shooting you is interrupted. The question therefore becomes is it reasonable to need...

    History was made today! Jump points work!

    I agree, but I also think CIG has some pressure to steal back all the Starfield wanderers. It may depend upon the current state of SQ42 more than SC.

    State of the Squadron 55!

    I’m predicting a huge funding boon as result of releasing the Polaris this year. I suspect it will drive the largest revenue of any ship yet released, even if they release the Idris. Just my guess.

    History was made today! Jump points work!

    So one thing I have heard that didn’t make it into the vid above is that there was some trouble with a few ships spat out arbitrarily in Pyro, and others coming through the gate and piling into one another. This sounds like an easy fix. Also, there was a report of players spotting other ships...

    Stuff to come: —400 players/server —New FPS weapons stats and qualities like recoil, out of scope picture blur, dedicated combat helmet targeting reticle —lots of past claims reiterated My take-always: Servers will hold much more than we guessed or were told years ago. The game will be a...

    Flight Deck Controller

    9 out of 10 flight decks can’t be wrong. You need a controller on the deck of your Polaris. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/aXeztgY9GiCRwcaU/?mibextid=0VwfS7

    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    There have been more than half dozen Disney threads but this one is most current (and still on page one for me) so I’ll drop this Gina Carano interview here. Just a couple things. . . The interviewer is making the case that Disney’s numbers have dropped off because of the detestable way they...

    Dune part 2

    All the reviews I’ve seen are positive, including those from reviewers sensitive to “The Message”. It couldn’t have transgressed too much it seems.

    What to ccu to an F7C as part of my Dragonfly to Sabre chain.

    The detection distance between the Sabre and Arrow is just 0.6km. I think most players consider the Arrow pretty stealthy. It is however very squishy, not as well gunned, nothing like the huge missile ensemble of the Sabre, etc. Yeah, the Sabre is a great scout. Is it though, better than two...

    Have you flown the Arrow, and just didn’t like it?

    How long before Idris is released to owners?

    Still no details about life support, bunk sharing, etc. I can’t imagine players choosing to field these with 2-3 Gladius when they could put 3 Eclipse and 30 Furys aboard. Fury’s and Arrows make so much better sense when dealing with such limited deck space.

    How long before Idris is released to owners?

    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.

    How long before Idris is released to owners?

    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...

    Find your faith, Spartan. I have seen your death. It comes soon.

    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...

    Find your faith, Spartan. I have seen your death. It comes soon.

    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...

    Find your faith, Spartan. I have seen your death. It comes soon.

    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...

    Crypto discussion

    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...

    Crypto discussion

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

    Find your faith, Spartan. I have seen your death. It comes soon.

    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...
