And, unfortunately, this is how "Business 'Analysts'" are reacting to it: (and by "Analysts," I read "paid corporate shill") https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/20/gamers-overreacting-on-ea-star-wars-game-firms-should-raise-prices.html In particular, you gotta love this quote: "Gamers aren't...

As has been pointed out, the Vanguard isn't much of a dogfighter, and is slower than other fighters.... Here's my opinion ---> everything is going to change, as they continue to rebalance ships and get the guns, hard points, and missiles right. Maybe the thing to do is test out different...

Cool video! I love my little M50, it's more ship than I can handle, but I still manage to haul in some REC while racing. I'll never have a zippy little car, but, I'll always have my M50...I don't think I'll ever melt it!

There is a *simple* fix for that, ha ha!

Rub it in, why don't you! ;) Maybe next time...

somebody on reddit just posted this article (from 4 years ago) detailing coercive in-game purchase practices, and how they work: https://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/RaminShokrizade/20130626/194933/The_Top_F2P_Monetization_Tricks.php It looks to me like EA took that, ran with it, used it to get a...

If you really want to have fun / mine salt (ahead of 3.0) you should post this on reddit!

Ha ha, this was *so* true when I was in Florida, and usually, the locals are all wearing the ratty, decades old winter clothing they brought down with them ages ago! Do you do any scuba diving?

Right, I think that is another piece of background to this whole context. EA has been gobbling up smaller, outstanding studios (with long track records of awesome games) and then turning these formerly great studios into money-grubbing game makers, using the similar template over and over again...

LTI, baby! All the way!

I can see how, superficially, one can make such comparisons, but I truly believe there are a *bunch* of differences between CIG and EA, with the number 1 being that CIG cares about their product and our experiences, and EA is nothing but a bunch of corporate suits trying to suck as much money...

I know! But, I guess EA worked really hard at it! I hope they have a sense of Pride that they Accomplished so much!

I like the "humble-brag" aspect of this :) So, based on your thread title, I gotta ask: is it bigger than any other parts of your anatomy? :p

Just saw this:

Hmmm, at least in statistics, splines are straight lines used to model irregular shapes or curves, i.e, translating a complicated curve into something simpler. Not sure if that is what they mean by that.

Sorry! didn't mean to shit post all over your thread, ha ha! @Blind Owl wouldn't like that, although, he might "like" that I said he wouldn't like that!

You're traveling to Germany, and not leaving the base? Talk about all the disadvantages of travel (i.e., jet lag, going someplace *exactly* like home, etc.) with none of the advantages!

My memory of the lore is that the Gladius is the aging, but capable UEE light fighter counterpart to the heavier Hornet. It is going to be a huge presence in Sq 42, I believe, so I get the feeling, as our glorious leader points out, it was developed early with several ideas in mind, and then as...
