    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    When the Reliant originally went on sale, it had a bed and was called "long range". It still has the twin fuel tanks from this. When they delivered the Kore they nerfed it by taking the bed out. Since that time they reworked the Avengers, and given it is now is faster, more maneuverable, has...

    Okay so three of these, and three cards to drive them is. . .

    Does anyone here know if you can take a cheap, 4K video camera and hook it into a monitor like this above? https://www.ebay.com/itm/4K-HD-Wifi-Night-Vision-Digital-Camera-2160P-WiFi-DVR-Video-Camcorder-DV-US-Plug/233045948927?hash=item36429ef9ff:m:mFn1jeJ-EFDPJIMva1dbI_g:rk:1:pf:0 I'm actually...

    Okay so three of these, and three cards to drive them is. . .

    I have been eyeing the 49" super ultra-wide for some time. This is about the same price. Are there reasons to not choose this, like refresh rate? I saw it is rated 120 for motion (under specs) and I'm wondering if that means it has a 120 hz refresh rate. I'm not familiar with all the details...

    Piloting Question

    Well dizzy you will get based upon your rate of rotation, and that can get to a virtual pilot! but the actual forces that cause blackout are inertial, so you can't expereince them from flying online, and they're a linear function with the radius of the curvature, so the further you are from the...

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    Yeah, and you could mount the tractor off the Kore for plucking up stuff. I really like the Reliant design--just needs some sort of teeth to it.

    Piloting Question

    I'm not super interested in mining, but that would be a great way to control a tractor beam. I've no idea when that is going to be enabled, but there is a Tractor listed for the Kore, and there are half dozen other ships that would certainly benefit from one or two--Reclaimer, Vulture, BMM, all...

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    For visual scanning, yeah, there is just no way to beat that cockpit!, but for normal scouting, if you want to send a 2 man team, I think you'd choose the Space Turtle. The scan radius difference between S and M is going to be significant, methinks.

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    To get by in the multirole the Reliant is slated for, it needs to be able to run, hide or fight. Any one of the three will do, but it can't do any of these. No one wants a ship with no defensive capability, so CIG needs to do something with it. As is, the Avenger outperforms it in every way...

    Can't wait for 3.5! Arccorp and the new flight model!

    Yes, every ship with wings or control surfaces. CIG has always said atmospheric flight is going to reflect real world physics. Lift and control surfaces have no effects in vacuum so are useless in space, and actually are wasted mass that lowers performance in space. Ships that have wings will...

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    Given all the love for the Titan, it will be interesting to see what they do with the Reliant on the next patch. No one wants the Kore and IMHO, they really nerfed the ride when they took the bed out. It still has two small tanks and word is it is going to be long range once more. They were...

    Piloting Question

    Well this is all moot since as Toys said, there are no plans to permit split thrust. However just saying, birds like the Vanguard have open fronts to their engines because they are supposed to be able to generate reverse thrust. If you reverse the thrust on one main engine but not the other...

    Piloting Question

    While I get what you're saying, I think that is a different issue. The rotation rates--yaw, pitch and roll--are all a function of the maneuvering thrusters. All well and good. If however you could use the main engines for asymmetric thrust, forward and/or reverse; one supposes you could spin...

    DiscoLando is an enemy of our org

    No, no, no. Clearly the fashion of our age dictates we find a way to declare victimization and demand some sort of reparations. I personally feel I have been brutalized by the mere news that Disco does not support me personally and my lifestyle choices of yellowness and blackness, and it does...

    Piloting Question

    Please forgive this newb question. By way of explanation to those who don't know, I do not own a game package, nor a gaming machine, nor have the time to play right now; so I have to satisfy myself for the time being by asking questions and learning what I can. I can't "just go check", past...

    Flight Simulation Chassis Help

    What do you want to fly? Larger planes use a yoke, which is very like a steering wheel and goes in center like a wheel. Smaller planes use a stick, wich can be located by your hand, so you don't need a gizmo to hold it front and center and can put your keyboard there. Depends what you are...

    FPS combat suggestions?

    I think TEST has some FPS groups with guys who would teach you how to do it right, rather than rely upon twitch skills. It is much more important to learn good habits than to twitch well. Odds are if you have tried it and gotten killed a lot, it is not because you weren't pointing and clicking...

    Predictions for 2019 Concept Sales

    The spike missiles that go with the Sentinel are the Arrester III, and they also come with the Polaris, Hammerhead, Sabre and Gladius. Probably you can fire them from any bird big enough. The thing that makes the Sentinel highly unusual is it can mask its signature and that of the ships...
