    Luke is not dead

    During his depression, Luke quips to Ray, "what do you think is going to happen here? I'm going to face down the entire First Order with a laser sword?!" What we find later of course is this is exactly what he does. This kind of irony is integral to all Lucas' work in SW and in Indiana Jones...

    Luke is not dead

    He did not die as Yoda, and ObiWan did. He just disappeared, and the whole lights flashing across the sky is new. In The Last Jedi, when Yoda appears to Luke and they are sitting on the ground commiserating, Yoda is not transparent like the ghosts of previous appearances. He is opaque, and he...

    Interest in a Book Club?

    BTW, is this the right place to complain. LUKE IS NOT DEAD! ? Really, he isn't.

    Interest in a Book Club?

    If you have a bunch of people interested in audio books you might choose something people can get at the local library. Every time I go in there Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series calls to me. Been wanting to read that for years, but who has time for 14 volumes?

    300I Rework

    I think when the component system comes online, and you see how many utility slots the 600i gets, you'll find that it is not nearly so limited as you might guess. Almost guaranteed it has several more slots than the Connies, and that is where its real value lies. The Connie has to lose a...

    SC in style

    You may be able to modify a Sentinel, with a Tracker turret. That would give you extended range too. Not sure how much larger than a Herald it would be though.

    SC in style

    That would be a 600i methinks. Needs to be fast (at least in a straight line) and have room for good communications or radar gear.

    Wow. What a beautiful and scary bird. It's like having a Bald Eagle for a pet. Thrilling!

    Yeas, though it's not just about stealth bombers, but the general stealth, scan and EM warfare dynamic. Even if you don't have an interest in stealth craft, you have to understand how the stealth dynamic will work or you may as well just wear a sign that you are a happy meal. We all NEED to...

    RSI APOLLO = NEW CONCEPT SHIP

    What he said. It's worth noting that most often we don't put even a single machine gun on ambulances and troop transports because we don't want to encourage anyone to put them at risk. There have been plenty of folks want to put a belly mounted chain gun on the MV-22, but that will probably...

    Underground lake of liquid water found on Mars!!

    Yup. To be a convincing find they would need to find something that doesn't exist on Earth and is proposed to not come from here. The missing magnetic field is what allowed the sun to strip away the atmosphere, but current theory says there was an atmosphere for a long time so life could have...

    Underground lake of liquid water found on Mars!!

    I think it will be some time to design something that can dig to that depth, but I also bet JPL has already started designing. We may see an announcement by years end and 6-7 years to design and build. Very exciting! Mars already has relatively fertile land (compared to the Moon) so this...

    These guys didn't get the memo...

    Yeah. One of the unfortunate consequences of people pretending they are journalists who have no journalism training, is they think everyone has as much time to waste as guys sitting in Mommy's basement. I watched two minutes and they still hadn't said anything so couldn't watch further.

    Funny RSI bug on profile page

    Doesn't matter. People will move. Discuss with them that you keep a 1/2 keg on tap for TEST friends, and NC will become the new center of the Star Citizen universe! Beer bribery. It's for everyone!

    Fleet planning

    I think though, buying ships with cash is much cheaper than buying UEC and then using that to buy the ships. You'll want to check and make sure, and these here are the folks to ask. IIUC, the best single purchase is to buy a rare distribution bird when it first comes out. Prowlers are only...

    Can You Handle This Much Wood?

    You know that, if you want balsa to have a smooth finish, you need to seal it with a dope of some kind before painting. It is very porous, and the surface will not be smooth until sealed.

    Fleet planning

    I need to love what I do in 'verse. I do not have time to grind at all. If I had 30 hours per week to play, I would be all for that, but my playtime is extremely limited, so I will be focused on things like combat experiences, and in particular "stunts". I have been pretty famous for stunt...

    Aiming with Gimbals Issues in 3.2 - Super Hornet Case

    IIUC, the marker would be fine for fixed guns but does not add the two new degrees of freedom you have with a turret. If I'm characterizing this properly it ought to appear in any turret or gimbal, and is what was supposed to be fixed for 3.2. So what are other people seeing?
