    Fleet planning for a Bounty Hunter

    LOL, I feel your pain...We all feel your pain...here is this great game, they have introduced and talked up bounty hunting, and...nobody is quite sure about the mechanics of it, but meanwhile, since we have nothing else to do, we will sit around and drive ourselves a little crazy thinking of all...

    What are y'all shopping for during the anniversary sale?

    Do the Dragonflies have LTI? If so, have you thought about offering them for sale to others? I know I'm always looking for some LTI tokens!

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Don't underestimate this ^. This is a huge vote of confidence by Intel in Star Citizen, which for some reason, seems to have a flair up of negative press every now and again. This may also help CR negotiate some other deals, that can help us/CIG. Again, the Anandtech review made it clear...this...

    Citizencon 2017 - Pros & Cons

    Nice! You should also do a "Then to Now" of all the games Derek Smart has put out during the same time period. LOL!

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    LOL, so I'm not the only one! It is quite an achievement for disks to now be that fast, that they are (almost) in the same league as RAM. I think the good news is, Intel and Samsung are pushing the PC limits...sadly, I think Windows doesn't care about PC's as much, now that they are pushing...

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    Yes, if you restart your computer you lose any changes that you didn't copy to your physical hard drive/SSD, and after re-booting you would have to recreate the RAM disk and recopy the folder/program to the RAM Disk again. See what we suffered through during the 1990's? lol! How often do you...

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    LOL, I was thinking on my dog walk this morning, "The 1990's solution would be to set up a RAM disk"...check out the numbers from this article: https://www.howtogeek.com/171432/ram-disks-explained-what-they-are-and-why-you-probably-shouldnt-use-one/ In particular, this would beat both the Intel...

    Can we talk about the fact that CIG is pedling a useless hardware to its player base

    My understanding from what CR said in the intro remarks was that Intel also paid for CitizenCon in Frankfurt, so that save us all a ton of money, and allowed more to be spent on the game.

    Citizencon 2017 - Pros & Cons

    Hey, it ain't "hype" if it is real! What he was showing us may not be in our hands/my grubby paws right now, but it is coming! Agreed, aspects of this bother me. Right now, according to the (notoriously unreliable) ship stats, it clocks in at the same speed as a regular Sabre, and only has 2...

    Sabre Raven

    Blah, it didn't quote the originals that you were replying to, but a) re: new SSD, this SSD really is better, but it is like upgrading your video card to get 140 fps, when you were getting 110 fps already. In the future, yeah, it will make a difference, but you won't see any difference right...

    Sabre Raven

    It did say you got a code for a package for SC, *and* a Sabre Raven. I'm assuming the two are independent, and you could maybe give the package to somebody? I guess we will have to wait for somebody to open up their package and tell us.

    Citizencon 2017 post show thoughts

    The whole thing was pretty amazing. Best part for me? Flying around ArcCorp, to that station in synchronous orbit...and then looking over the edge of the platform at the planet below. Awesome!

    Woke up this morning and was gonna buy ships..only concepts?

    See @Wolfy 's post above. Typically, they do have stuff on sale in October, but it may be that they want to focus people's attention on buying Pioneer's and Optane drives...if stuff isn't on sale now, then wait for the November sale.

    Cutlass Black Giveaway

    I despise most forms of social media, since they track you, invade your privacy and sell your info, but I've found twitter the be both a) fairly innocuous, and b) actually quite useful for my work. I follow some academics for the research I do, and I always get great info first from their...

    Pioneer presale is up, only a small amount remaining

    Thanks! Re: land claim, I was thinking that it can't be for a whole planet (otherwise, they'll have to design a bunch more). Also, I would think that the "UEE Protections" would mean more like, you are in UEE territory (of some sort) and will have general Navy protection. Note...this is kind of...
