My concern about the Polaris speed is that it was designed as a patrol vessel, which is the traditional Corvette role. Gunboats do not usually fill that role. The role of a gunboat is usually to attack much larger vessels. Think of the WWII era PT boats. It's just an unarmored speedboat with...

One of the benefits of the Hornets that i didn't see listed is that it is a truly multi-mission frame, like the US F-18 Superhornet. It is not a superiority fighter like the Sabre., but you can swap in and out various compoinents and have several different fighters for many needs. For...

I think we are a loose conglomerate at least until there is a real game, then you should expect more in the way of plans and goals. My goals are pretty simple--kill things and take their treasure. I don't care too much what things, but I am basically the lawful type and certainly all TESTies...

Thanks! Your web site is still sluggish and won't open for the bonus points, but I was able to open at the link immediately above. Must be you're swamped with entries!

They do say it is designed to combat fighters, so one suspects it has good shields. Of course those don't matter if what is shooting at it has ballistics, missiles or torps. Traditionally, the anti-fighter role usually goes to Corvettes. I am concerned they will nerf the Polaris top speed now...

Link won't open now for several minutes. is it me or has there been a thing with this? Everywhere else navigates quite fine.

Gunboats have always excited me. I do love speed! The thing that concerns me though, is that if there is no way to stop the larger torps, the fragility of a ship like a gunboat, especially when it is so large, is going to make it disappointing in some ways. There's no doubt all those quad...

I would bet a single Eclipse is more than a match for the Hammerhead, and might not even need a second missile. Beware. It's a gunboat. They die easy and it is 4 times the target size of a Redeemer. IMHO, the Scimitar from Next Great Starship was a better design than the Hammerhead. They...

Meaning a new ship or a reveal on the one we have?

Cool. I still think you should bring a keg, though. Nothing says "I love you" more than free beer. Well. . .maybe not nothing, but you get the idea.

The question is, can the provider or ISP like Verizon, set a higher price for Netflix than for a low bandwidth user. Net Neutrality did not allow the provider to set different rates, despite that this is exactly what the utilities do. Utilities charge you less for electricity than they do City...

I think you're the one who misunderstands. Reynolds Aluminum does pay much more for electricity than the average homeowner, becasue they use far more and the utlitiies do use the tiered system. The argument in the vid is that the ISPs should be able to do the same. It is not an argument that...

I am just shocked at this thing. Can someone tell me were to find the current torp ranges? This guy has a missile lock on a Tally at 30km. Does this mean the torp has a range of 30 km? He kills the Tally with a single missile. So a single Eclipse can eliminate 3 Tally's in a fight? Never...

I am following most of the arguments for Net Neutrality, but isn't it also true the regulations were defective in that they did not provide the kinds of protection that make the most difference to the individual end user? For instance, it seems to me the claim at time index 1:23 is a valid...

Your ship will be destroyed tomorrow by an Aurora pilot. You are destined for greatness, as a TEST Squadron Javalin turret gunner. Please don't feed seafood to donkeys. Yellow dots have no meaning. No, she said to fly over. . .

Yes well you understand, this is why we should all avoid generalizations. Regulation is not bad or good. It is bad or good given any specific issue. You may be correct to say in general we have to much, or too little, but what matters are the specific details. This is always so...

Yes, but you understand, the marketplace has already determined that Myspace will fail, because we all know we don't want to use FB to stay in touch with some friends and Myspace for others. There is a natural market force turning FB into a monopoly, and the public good is not served by using...

I think you think there is a competition going on. The competition is over. FB is not in a position to be replaced, nor is Google. That's all settled stuff. Dogpile is gone, Yahoo and AOL missed the boat. There is no coming back. AOL was situated to beat Yahoo, FB, Myspace, Google and a...

But I like it when people twist my panties.
