    lame-ass 27" monitors. . .puh!

    Yeah, what sovapid said above: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNjLWK-kwxM I will have three please. Yeah. That is 8k. There are some new 85" 8k monitors but they're not curved so you can't sit very close to them. If they were curved side to side and top top bottom, that would be...

    lame-ass 27" monitors. . .puh!

    View: https://www.facebook.com/Engadget/videos/537239363399705/ I was actually thinking about the animatronics here. But 27" absolutely has to go. This needs at least 3, 44" highly curved screens. If the 'puter is built into the chair, I'd expect to pay $15k. Way out of reach, but still...

    new from NVIDIA

    Good luck with that! I hope you wrote something you can sell. I made the mistake of writing a TV series pilot, unaware at the time that the studios can't even look at it until one is a full Writer's Guild member (12 credits). Were I to do it again, I would write a made for TV movie, or MOE...

    Body Armor vs Ship Guns

    The original plan was that vehicle weapons were their own category and less than S1 ship's weapons, but I think they scratched that and are using S1's on vehicles. IIRC, the vehicle hits at the 25 v 25 event last week were all one-hit kills. So looks like S1's go right through all armor...

    Ok, I gave in and bought the Mercury!

    Has anyone ever fought with the thing with 4XS5 guns fixed? That would be very interesting to watch, especially if there ever develops a way to enhance the rotation rates with thruster upgrades. I have always loved the Lancer but this Mercury is just so beautious! If you could get blazing...

    Ok, I gave in and bought the Mercury!

    I think so long as you commit to run rather than fight, it's a great ship. Would love to see how it does in Void Armor. Should be a bigger breadwinner than the Connie for hauling cargo since it's faster, and of course you can run Data.

    [Video] Mercury Star Runner sale

    It's faster than a Lancer, and holds the cargo of an Aquila. Yup. Just wish they'd given it more guns and missiles.

    So, what can we postulate about the Mercury?

    I am annoyed that once more they are saying more than a single thing about the appointments, especially weapons, from the first appearance on the web. This just can't be by mistake, that it keeps happening. It looks like they want people excited enough to buy, but then want to be able to say...

    the Mercury Star Runner

    Still need to find out more. Looks like the manned turrets are remote manned, which means they will not work when spiked yet still need gunners--worst of all worlds. The Dorsal looks rear facing only and the ventral front facing only, so not especially happy with them. OTOH, functions like a...

    the Mercury Star Runner

    So what's on size, crew, etc? Anything you can copy and paste? Is this smaller than the Connie? Mass/thrust ratio better? Any pics? Does it look to have a hidable radar cross section? I do love the look of the Crusader ships.

    the Mercury Star Runner

    Yeah. He did not hypothesize it would have high maneuverability and I would guess something like the 600i, just more spartan and less flexible, and less easy to mod. Probably 1/3 the size too.

    the Mercury Star Runner

    Yeah. . .oh yeah. Light gunboat with EM warfare, evasion and high speed. . .I'll have three please. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqPrWjO95IE

    Constellation Aquila - more exploration focus proposal/thoughts

    I think the Phoenix is the only variant with a snub. Is that wrong?

    Weird mouse look issue

    I get the weird mouse look all the time. I just throw cheese out the window and watch him go flying.

    [Video] Smaller ships will have their purpose!

    So what other ship has both a holding cell and an EMP? I don't love the ship but it is a great choice for a single bounty hunter. My question has always been what can you do to hide the type of craft from the sensors of others. If you can do that, this is a dream machine for snag and bag...

    So who is going to the largest gaming convention in the world? Please post vids here! Where are the new SC trailers?

    The most important question, answered by Disco

    Yes, but an ancient can with no propellant and liquid inside probably has air in it and could explode, so don't crew with it, Naff. Just throw something away for once in your life!

    how much for the jav next time

    I am hoping the Polaris can be used as a cargo ship. It holds twice the cargo of a Connie, and really only needs 5 PCs, so I hope will be much more manageable. And it has four pew pew tubes, make others go boom.
