No. I have no issues with Mudhawk. Stop making problems for others. There’s nothing wrong with the post. If you need to whimper, let Montoya know your knickers are all atwist.

If you’re asking me to remain civil you must think the above, civil. So where’s your complaint? Nowhere did I accuse anyone of anything but ignorance. I didn’t assign moral culpability. I suggested he read some. I think you’re being a little over sensitive. Absolutely, it is no crime to note...

To be honest, I hadn’t thought to turn this into a debate so I’ll be as brief as possible to address your points. There were over 64,000 separate democracies in Greece over the 600 or so years before Christ. Whomever told you it was a couple white guys lied to you. Also, anyone who led you to...

I agree with you, that examples of capitalism often fail to present a proper representation of human sanctity. I would just note though, that as a theory, Capitalism relies upon Individualism, which relies upon things like freedom of choice and private property rights. We’ve become so accustomed...

I think it would need to be the largest crowd funding in history. Lucas got $4B when he sold. To buy it before this next film you might have to pay near that much.

So back to the point she was making. What the director says she’ll be saying to men with this film: “. . .recognize that I am working to bring something that makes you uncomfortable, and it should make you uncomfortable, because you need to change your attitude. . .” Really, Disney? All...

Yeah. Rich people. Go figure. Better than a gold plated Ferrari, though. Did you notice the fire on the ground where the tracers hit? IIRC, tracers are normally like 1/10 the load. Crazy.

If Kathleen Kennedy had a twisted need to humiliate female characters, and did to Leah what she did to Luke, then absolutely I would be just as angry about it. With all due respect, placing the words “to me” before a sentence does not grant you permission to define however you like. There are...

I think the difference in modern films’ distasteful portrayal of girl power as compared to decades past is that the most modern is based upon radical or third wave feminism, which has at its core not a desire for equality, but rage and compensatory justice against the patriarchy. It’s one thing...

I hope you won’t mind me observing that sounds quite backward. Communism and its attendant Collectivist philosophy was handily debunked 2,400 years ago in the Greek political science lab using over 64,000 real world examples—conclusively showing that Capitalism is obviously superior. Since that...

I gotta second the above. It may well turn out once the game opens, Montoya provides us a grand vision that includes territorial politics, opportunities for homesteading, etc. Some who have base-like accommodations (Liberator, Polaris, Kracken, Idris, Javelin, etc.) may eschew a “base” entirely...

Well at least once this drops, someone more responsible will be able to buy the IP at bargain basement price. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/sctbgsn7Pg2tfaVE/?mibextid=HSR2mg

This vid is not an expose’ so much as a promo. It doesn’t grapple with any of the multitude of questions that come when Ian Malcom observes in Jurassic Park “...Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.“ It’s completely amoral...

That, my friend; is a way too cool super-spy plan. Hope that works for you!

IMHO, the Kardashev scale is broken. It places interdimensional technology as galactic and there are plenty of reasons to suspect this and other assumptions in the ranking are incorrect. It is thus IMHO, a useless model best ignored. For instance, reports of UFO phenomena that extend back 6,000...

Em, you’re familiar with the fact the Banu are slavers, yes? You should expect all sorts of negative consequences for palling around with them. Lots of Bounty Hunters will be hunting slavers inside UEE space and that will sometimes spill over. Slavery is the UEE equivalent of “hive of scum and...

I’m not a hauler guy, nor am I attracted to luxury, but I do love the capabilities of the 400i. Still waiting to see how the Zeus compares. To get the most out of the 400i’s stealth there are a few counterintuitive things to consider. First, you obviously need to fly with weapons, shield and...

Stealth is based off the higher of EM and IR. There’s no way to equip the C1’s IR below 12k because of inadequate cooling. When you flip the stealth switch you reduce IR for greater EM, so probably C1 drivers ought to just leave it on if they’re trying to run quiet, but ships are still gonna...

I know I’m on this subject too often, but as no one has mentioned it, I would point out if you’re going to compare metrics across a single class, you do need to consider the stealth and speed qualities. For hauling cargo, stealth is more important that firepower, hull and shielding. When you’re...
