Even if there are a lot of Carracks, they are intended to be so fantastically customizable that I don't think anyone would be wise to make assumptions about them. I'll bet there will be at least 20 subsystems one can custom for any ship, making no two the same. If the ship grows like so many...

I am learning in preparation for buying several machines with different requirements. One of the issues is we want to run COMSOL on a workstation grade laptop, like a Lenovo ThinkPad...

I think it matters what you intend to use the fleet for. Personally if I were going somewhere dangerous, I would prefer a fast fleet with lots of punch, so probably a Polaris/Carrack/StarG ensemble surrounded by a dozen small ships, some of which would run perimeter and others would scout...

so the connector for DDR4 is called m2, and one wants to verify it is running at full 3,200 Ghz?

Does this mean one should only look for CPUs that support DDR4? https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/ddr4-ram-specs-release-date-future-computer-memory/ Who is using DDR4? Most of what I see for cheap is DDR2. Seems that must be why it is cheap.

http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct250mx500ssd1?cm_mmc=Social-_-Facebook-_-LinkPost-_-mx500promo Do you look at transfer rate? For a good gaming machine, can you use SSD to replace inadequate DDR ram, or should oyu buy the more expensive (seemingly) fast DDR?

Them's fightin' words. You're sure you want to talk to a real philosopher that way? I don't have anything at risk. I haven't paid for the game, don't have time to play, and don't have a machine that could handle it if i did. I am involved here because it looks like the best game I have ever...

Whiskey.

They left off all the important ones: the state of paranoia, the state of confusion and the state of euphoria are all missing. Likewise the states of fear, self-loathing, and incontinence from tequila intake.

I don't think you'll ever see it here. "Full group functionality" seems would require the members to each be fully functional, and for that you need another group. We trade functionality for beer, here.

It really is important to remember that no one is really buying ships. They're supporting a game. There is no contract to deliver any ship at any given time. The ship is merely a benefit of early support and needs to be viewed that way to make any sense at all. You understand, none of us have...

Glad to hear you're through the worst. Get well soon!

That is a problem, but also note you have to have sufficient energy to deorbit the rods, which means you're lifting rockets to tie to those rods. I don't honestly think anyone would do something like this until we have a replacement for rockets. Needs something propellantless.

Yeah. Personally I would not spend cash on ships that aren't in game. You can get them when they come, so why not invest in the ones you can fly when you spend the money?

That is really the issue. It is such a great deal for new money that people want it without spending new money, hence the whining. It's not straying into anything. If you're not open to injecting new cash into the game, you can be jealous of those who are, but complaining is really not called...

On the Son's of Orion mission storyline, there is more somewhere, but I can't find it right now. I know in the past there was official note of the "Son's of Orion" mission storyline where you would go specifically to kill Vanduul for pay. That's a good place to take a Polaris, IMHO. Quick...

Fuel air bombs explode twice. The first explosion bursts the canister and mixes the fuel with the air. The second explosion is the fuel itself which burns supersonically or DETONATES and that makes a big boom. Theoretically one could rig this with a standard fuel canister from a StarG, etc...

One of the things that proponents of kinetic energy weapons from orbit do not often discuss is that hypersonic reentry heats objects so much they will disintegrate unless special conditions are met. We see this happen with almost all meteors. Studies of how tungsten rods would melt have shown...
