    All of the money raised to go into the game is predicated upon the concept that was essentially "sold" to the backers. When they alter the foundational concept, that is depending upon each individual state some type of fraud or malfeasance. However, to collect you would need to show damages...

    Well yeah, that is a problem when you sold your company and vision as such and then did another. I doubt any gamer would bother, but this is actually grounds for a legal action. Just seems all manner of stupid to me when it is so unnecessary and they're so very far behind schedule.

    I'm still digesting the recent reveal that CIG is planning to implement 4 physical abilities that can be leveled up by the player. Though the notion seems fun at first glance, it raises two concerns for me. First is, one of the things that originally attracted me to SC was it does not have...

    Crusader Spirit

    Great review. BTW, other reviewers have asserted mightily that all three versions do indeed include 4 beds, a toilet and kitchenette, so we'll see. I have long wanted a whip with more room than the Vanguard, but more speed and agility than the Lancer and Cutty, and with some cargo. Looks like...

    Will there be steaming piles?

    It's a simple business decision for Amazon to decide to invest in its own big time franchise. The trouble came when they went with a pair of untested showrunners who sold themselves by stating they wanted to update the franchise so that it would be relevant, meaning it better reflect the world...

    Will there be steaming piles?

    Apparently a wash. Plenty enough episodes in to see what we see, and only about 1/3 of viewers like it. Most have stopped watching already. One Billion Dollars flushed down the toilet for the sake of the shitty writing of a pair of newb showrunners. So terribly sad, as this franchise could...

    Crusader Spirit

    If the C comes with the extended range of a freighter, this might make a decent 2 -3 man pathfinder. Certainly with that cargo and an S3 tractor there is some salvage capability. I think it's a welcome addition in a space where we ought to have ships of every manufacturer. Will it be fast...

    The prettiest Crusader thus far, IMHO. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18817-Crusader-C1-Spirit

    Will the sandworm ever make it into the game?

    There are more than a dozen interesting fauna waiting AI sufficient to make them interesting.

    Most interesting locations?

    The Murder Hobo cave on Daymar is arguably the highest cash/minute play in game. I recommend both vids here: View: https://youtu.be/OrHRlZLokKQ

    Most interesting locations?

    Ghost Hollow 1) The AI is super stupid here. The NPCs can't see a ship landing 70 meters away, and allow you to walk up on them from behind even in medium armor. Normally I would recommend a suppressor, but the targets are so spread out that there is no discernable benefit. Weapon reports only...

    Behold the Beast

    I suspect it will be at least as drifty through the turns as the Sabre, and perhaps as much as the Vanguard, but the shield refresh should be way past either. I think CIG will want to make it the go-to just because they'll sell more SQ42 that way. It won't surprise me if it becomes the meta...

    Don't know why the shields are locked down, but look at how many there are! https://www.erkul.games/loadout/7dI8zPTY

    Thinking of getting a Merchantman

    I'm not disparaging anyone. I literally do not understand the purpose behind roleplaying a job. I have a job. I do have a 5e character who is a scribe and cartographer, and makes serious bank during down time scribing 1st level scrolls with metamagics included. Thing is, you don't actually...

    News is saying 90-95% of Ft Meyers was destroyed. The images are horrid.

    Some thoughts on Player Verses Player when it lacks the "Verses"

    I don't think he's talking about standard economy. He's noting that in a careless iteration of big bounty offerings for players, the targets themselves can cash in by having their friends off them with a single shot to the head, and later collect the bounty themselves. Same trouble as with...

    Some thoughts on Player Verses Player when it lacks the "Verses"

    I think officially, CIGs response to mass murderers is going to be bounties so large that it pays for teams of bounty hunters to chase them. Griefers they will punt, but horrific outlaws of great skill are intended. If Avenger_One earns a multi-million aUEC bounty, you can rest assured that a...

    Unreal 5

    I'm the farthest thing from an expert in judging the look of any game, as I just haven't played enough of them. This is however, the first time I've had trouble identifying whether the set is real or not. I consider this impressive. Gotta have something to do with the lighting, I guess...

    covert military ops

    Good vid. Absolutely, the attack on the pipeline is a consequence of the war in Ukraine. There aren't that many players that could be responsible. Certainly no one believes our Geriatric Puppet could be responsible. He can't even tie his shoes. The Finns would never do this--their...

    covert military ops

    I do not personally buy the pipe robot gone awry, nor accident of any kind theories. Both parallel pipes broke at once. Yeah, submarine seems possible to me. Anyone with torpedoes in the Baltic could have done this. I'm pretty sure that rules the US out, and leans toward a Russian false...
