    Extra ships in Fleet Manager/ASOP terminal, besides loaners and temporary free-flys

    I have talked with several people who don't want to fight in game so much as transport, trade and maybe mine. I always say the best starter transport is certainly the Lancer because it is so stealthy, you can avoid most trouble, but the Lancer doesn't seem to qualify as a starter ship any more...

    Extra ships in Fleet Manager/ASOP terminal, besides loaners and temporary free-flys

    Do you recommend the Nomad start package to those who want to mine?

    Vanguard wish list

    I have not seen any explicit statement that ewar was cancelled, but I'm pretty sure CIG has been clear there are no plans to remove the Sentinel EMP. While we are still waiting on ewar (really just waiting on the entire swapable sensor mechanic), I don't think there is a plan to change the...

    Slave 1

    Perhaps you're unaware of the historic precedent for this observation. Disney fired Gina Carano because of a comic she reposted on social media, that noted that Jews were first beaten on the streets of Germany by the German people, not by Nazis leaders. Germany didn't get round to gassing 6...

    Vanguard wish list

    I want to agree with Richard above, but my trouble with this interpretation is that when the Vanguard was designed, the Sentinel was planned to be the ewar version and ewar has never emerged. We were told the Sentinel would be able to fake the signature of other ships, but there's now no plan...

    Slave 1

    Back to the Disney thing: the CEO of Disney fired Brie Larson today. She was supposed to play the uber-character Maeve in her own series, but seems she was demanding pay right off the charts and Disney CEO Bob Chapek fired her. She will still play the role in The Acopyte unless that too gets...

    Extra ships in Fleet Manager/ASOP terminal, besides loaners and temporary free-flys

    Just out of curiosity, what sort of grinding were you doing to earn a Sentinel inside a week? I'm always curious since I never know what to recommend to new players. I'm still confused which is the best starter pack. That Nomad seems to have jostled things a bit.

    Tobii Eye Tracker review

    I'm confused. Are you saying you can actually work controls in your ship with hand gestures in mid air, like with a Leap Motion Controller? I thought all the Tobii did was point your view depending upon where you point your eyes or head.

    Slave 1

    The most offensive thing to me about cancel culture, or the notion that children with no ethics training, no time in church, no objective values, no sense of history and no understanding of the world around them; are going to correct everyone who went before them and not only dictate the...

    Slave 1

    I actually track the changes in the Star Wars franchise at Disney and there is real hope there. Kathkeen Kennedy has been demoted, and Dave Filoni and Jon Favraeu have been given oversight to virtually all things Star Wars. I think Kennedy is restricted to The Acolyt series, and has been told...

    Anyone use a portable secondary monitor?

    I think Marcsand2 is the one to ask. He is either the expert on that or Voice Attack. Can't recall.

    Slave 1

    To be fair to Lego, they spend a huge amount of money marketing the things they want people to make, so even though the patent on the bricks may be expired, the patent on the Lego Slave 1 is not. And in fact the piece I read noted that older Slave 1 Lego sets that retain the pre-censored name...

    Slave 1

    You won't mind me holding this crazy generation that contributes so little and stands in judgement of an entire world it fails to understand, as horrifically broken for its severe lack of humility and grotesque entitlement. No. It's Slave 1. Its owner is a villain. I think the children can...

    Anyone use a portable secondary monitor?

    You can get very powerful 13" tablets on ebay for $50 and run gameglass on them. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyXFlUMes9c

    Slave 1

    Disney is changing the name of Bobba Fett's ship because it offends woke sensibilities. It is now going to be called "the bounty hunter's starship" or some such. Even affects lego merchansizing. Crazy. . .

    Slave 1

    Screwy gen, it is called "Slave 1".

    Some absolute madlads flew into the Stanton_(star)

    I don't think it counts unless they used Auroras.

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    This is old now, but interesting to look at: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d0O8RzVxqs It's 12 shots to kill with 3 S3 guns, and does not generally shoot back, yet pays 87,599 aUEC plus bonuses and completes in about 5-6 minutes, so 10X/hour is about a million aUEC/hour. Makes no...

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    To go back to the general question of the utility of stealth in bounty hunting, I would note that as things are planned now, player bounties are going to go up in price and the biggest bounties will be paid for players in expensive ships brought in alive. So the most successful bounty hunters...
