It may be inter-dimensional, but there are other possible explanations. For instance, if the Mach Effect theory of Dr. James F. Woodward is correct, then it is possible to disconnect a local body like a craft from the universe's gravinertial field that gives matter its mass. Matter which is so...

it's not weather balloons. I was a true skeptic concerning UAPs until a friend who is a senior officer at CIA challenged me to use my skills as a trained philosopher to vet the evidence. Thus challenged I did a careful study, and I can tell you, NO ONE who does a careful study thinks these are...

Great analysis. I'm going to guess at about $300, since that is just past the Vanguards. I don't think there is going to be room or life support for a second person. I'm guessing the remote turret has its own AI when rear facing. Probably one bed and maybe a Galley, but I don't see room for...

I usually like this guy's analysis but i think he's got this all wrong. First off, if this had 8 S3 guns it would NOT be in line with other heavy fighters. It would be the ruling DPS champion of the game, with TWICE the firepower of the Sabre. That's not what this is. Second, the model he...

I don't think crypto is a scam because of what Musk is doing. I think it's a scam because it is run by someone other than a sovereign, who has no right to value the goods and services of people. No one has ever started their own currency brand for any reason other than to make money, except...

To be clear, I am not opposed to investing. When people provide investment monies, they are moving currency and that provides a service. I am opposd to people who buy into pyramid schemes knowing that eventually, someone is going to be left holding the bag of worthless coinage. Only con men...

I'm guessing there are 4 S2 wing guns and 4 S2 turret. Scorpions all around is 2,540 DPS. The Vanguard with 6 Scorpions and 1 M7A is 2925, and has greater range. But. . ."revolutionary rail-mounted remote turret". . .this is a single pilot ship. The original shot shows a Scorpius flying...

The reason everyone is so enticed by fake coinage is, they ask themselves "what is a way to make money?" instead of "what is an honest way to make money?" The only way to make money with fake coinage is to leave someone else holding the bag. The only honest way to make money is to produce a...

Welcome! I lived in Portland for 12 years. So sad to see what's happened to the city. Have you been in to view the carnage?

That's really not how it works. In the past I tried several times to organize a privateering group and was ordered to cease and desist. It takes a leader with enough time to hang on Discord, get known by the proper people at TEST, and then if they okay it you can organize. I don't honestly...

I totally agree. I'll own I have no interest in grinding night after night to get a pile of imaginary gold. I'd rather purchase the kinds of ships that interest me at least to start, and focus on playing my game, which I think is going to involve first, deep strikes into Vanduul territory with...

Yeah. Last time I tried to load that it didn't work, but it's working now. Note that the only medium ingress the Vanduul have on the map to Leir is through 4 UEE systems, so there must be an uncharted, medium sized jump either direct to Leir or to an adjacent system.

I don't understand your objection. No one here has at any time suggested a rigid, mandatory, anal, qualification system; yet several have presumed to say that TEST is not a good fit because qualifying somehow takes effort. How many reassurances absent any anal suggestions do people need to...

Yes well, I can't guess why CIG would make their own map wrong, given they have one. For instance, I have yet to see a map showing a medium jump between Leir and Vanguard, despite official lore is a pair of Void Bombers attacked Leir from Vanguard, and they certainly can't fit through the small...

Anyone want to recommend a map with authority? I have had several over the years and they nearly always go missing after a year or two, and those that I have access to now contradict each other. Worse still is since players abscond with the SC logo regularly, there's no reason to trust which...

So to go back to the original observation, the driver's seat in the tonk has no radar. Unless someone can observe first hand that it does, I'll go by the half dozen vids I've watched now, and assert that without someone in the command position, the Tonk is mostly blind. I have already seen on...

Yes. Any time a government prints money to pay for anything, they devalue everyone's work. That is the opposite of what a good sovereign should do. BTW, when people compare the US to Scandanavia as per social services, they forget two things. First off, that the US paid virtually all the...

I get that, but pilots all play one role--they're pilots. They have many skills they bring to bare but they're always in the piloting role. That's not true of cap ship crew nor even Tonk crew. There needs to be a real mechanism to pass down information and training to people playing these new...

Have you been devloping specializd vernacular in order to communicate better? Has anyone been writing training manuals?

That's all full of awesome. What does TSMC stand for, and how often do you and they train? Are the TSMC and YellowJackets the same group? What lessons learned can we apply to the Navy--those cap ships needing large crews? Do you think the need to train together transfers to training on the...
