    Scam Popup

    I just got what looks like a scam popup from the embedded links in this forum. I was just logging in and a popup appeared pretending to be Wells Fargo bank, but was not. It was in their colors, etc., so just saying, if you're selling links for cash, you appear to be selling them to a scam...

    Ryzen 3

    The size of the switches isn't just that it makes the processor smaller. It requires much less power. So for a single Ryzen3 on turbo it's burning 100 watts instead of the i9's 165 watts. That's a huge difference when you need to cool them by the thousands.

    Situational Awareness

    So lots of us love the Lancer but hate that it has such a crumby field of view (FOV). Several birds have bad view angles, and this is not by mistake. Its actually a selling point that fighters have such a FOV, so CIG isn't going to "fix" the Lancer. However. . .might we not see a special Head...

    Ryzen 3

    I'll be fascinated to learn how the new 7nm tech tests out. Certainly if Oak Ridge is already putting cash down, they expect something big here. Seems odd to me they would place an order for an exoflop machine unless they had already done extensive testing. So my guess is the new tech holds...

    Ryzen 3

    I've actually been looking at the NViDEA HGX-2 for some time, for use in future spacecraft as a flight computer. The HGX-2 is a 2 petaflop machine that draws about 10KW. There are no spacecraft that have ever been designed that have a power budget that can run such a machine, but we expect...

    Sanity Check: Fleet Construction

    Yes, it often makes good sense to use multiple ships of the same kind or closely connected kinds, like the Vanguard variants; in groups. One of the benefits of the Vanguard is it has very high speed for a ship with such great range. If you combine it with ships that are slower, or that have...

    Sanity Check: Fleet Construction

    However we also know that components lost when a ship goes boom will be expensive to replace. One of the things I like about the Razor EX is that although it may be worth replacing the shield or reactor, it is very serviceable as is. It seems would be nice to have a bird you enjoy stock, just...

    Sanity Check: Fleet Construction

    I don't understand enough about NPC pilots to know what ships to own. I'd love to be able to sit second seat in a Sentinel, with a pair of Hoplites and three Harbingers all flying as one unit, but we still don't know much about what NPC pilots will be capable of. Likewise with carrying several...

    A2 Hercules - Space Combat Variant

    Suppose you could take 4 of the 6 fuel tanks off the Star G and fit it to carry 4 tanks. That would be very interesting. Theoretically you could transport your armor across any distance.

    The ultimate pirate ship?

    It is tounge-in-cheek. They play that purposely. That can't very well have a promo and say "here is our pirate ship", though you may see some used like that at Grim Hex or some such.

    Forbes is at it again. This time talking trash about Netflix.

    Well lets look at the basic premise: "featuring great exclusive content is now far more important than anything else". Is that true? I doubt it. He immediately jumps into his illustratiion with Game of Thrones, but GoT is popular because it is very, VERY well done in every aspect. Great...

    A2 Hercules - Space Combat Variant

    I think the Hercs will all be too slow to fight in space. It's an armored transport. If they gave it the speed of the HH, they'd have to take away a great many other things for the sake of game balance. As current, I would expect SCM between 100-120, and afterburner about 800. Ships that are...

    we need this

    That is the special needs version of the Cutty Red, with modification adaptive to the compelling needs of our generation, and other swill related stuff too. . .uh huh. Modifications to allow this highly mobile transport to bring beer where no beer has gone before. It fits in places the...

    The ultimate pirate ship?

    I was fiddling around again with the Corsair. I think peeps haven't yet really looked at what a great pirate or privateering package this bird is. Though I'm not all about Drake, the name Corsair is certainly intended to suggest the pirate and/or privateering role even more strongly than the...
