    If you were designing a ship from the interior out ...

    What you're describing is known as a "Weightless Warp Drive" or WWD save that the scheme uses a thin film around the entire ship to null it's mass so it can accelerate at any arbitrarily high gee loading and none of the craft suffers inertial forces. There may actually be a way to do this IRL...

    If you were designing a ship from the interior out ...

    I want to see how fast she is, and whether the Prowler can be set up for long range, but my bet is the 600i is best to bump around the verse in. I have wanted to combine tracker, stealth and EWar capability into a single ride for ages, and that bird looks like might do. Gotta be a long range...

    I'm with you, brother. Keep an eye on the 600i.

    New Lost in Space series on Netflix

    I am a huge fan of all things Irwin Allen. So glad to see this, and that they're flying a 600i. Did I detect a female Dr. Smith there?

    I really, really want to like this game.

    So don't play. I don't play and yet I am often taxed past my patience. I spend time acquainting myself with the SC universe. Watch the various system vids. Learn about the different game dynamics and who the big players are and will be. What I don't do is play. I don't have time to invest...

    Aegis Vulcan (concept ship sale starting Feb 22)

    The Vulcan is years from hangar ready. If you want something to see, sit in and fly, you need a ship that is listed as "Flight Ready" on the matrix: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/ship-matrix. If the space filler for the Vulcan is the Freelancer, you should see that instead.

    Aegis Vulcan (concept ship sale starting Feb 22)

    Does anyone know of any reasons why we would not be able to install the repair drones onto other ships like the Carrack?

    Fortnightly Frontier - 5.03 - The Living Idris

    You obviously have no training in journalism, so you get a pass this once. Learn to respect your audience, or you will have no audience. Time is precious. Stop clowning around like a pair of children with no adult responsibilities and deliver real value to your viewers, or you will have no...

    Fortnightly Frontier - 5.03 - The Living Idris

    Just being honest, if the first minute of your vid says "this is shit and we don't respect your time" then you should not expect anyone to get past that first minute. I made it 47 seconds before I started to write this testy note, complaining that you are sucking my time like a f8cking vampire...

    Freelancer with loaner Hornet

    I still think the Carrack will make a fun medium transport. Need to see how she does on fuel, but I would buy the bird just for the bridge. That is, if I had to resort to buying ships rather than loaning them off others.

    Would be interesting if you could use a two stage trigger, and stagger the fire groups by half second for strafing.

    What guns were you using to kill the Cutty and how were they split?

    Video: Montoya interviewed for Citizen of the Stars

    Absolutely. Everyone knows God invented alcohol to stop the Irish from ruling the world. Could happen to us too.

    RiceMaiden's Hangar of Ship Models

    BTW, I think you should be able to ad lib a bit. Doesn't this model need a turret in the top, where that circle is? Maybe peeps would want to safe that for things like the Vanguard, but the point is if you have an extra channel, you can even install moveable turrets, missile bay doors, drop...

    RiceMaiden's Hangar of Ship Models

    Yes, absolutely. Since the Chinese entered the market about 8 years ago, the cost of complete craft has dropped fantastically, and there is a whole range of materials one can purchase planes made from or to make them from. Designs like that Cessna 182 (my father owned the real thing for 30+...

    Video: Montoya interviewed for Citizen of the Stars

    ". . .I am the biggest twit. . .streamer". Hey, not for nothin', but he spent his last $5 on a movie, instead of on a beer? Is this the Montoya we all know and love? I think this is a plot by the pod people for a hostile takeover of TEST. This is not Montoya! This is a Krell incursion! The...

    RiceMaiden's Hangar of Ship Models

    The cheapest way to go is to buy an "RTF" or "Ready To Fly" kit of the proper size, that includes the control transmitter. You only need 3 controls: elevator, aileron and throttle. If you want a forth channel you can add rudder but it is unnecessary for basic flight. The more key issue is...

    RiceMaiden's Hangar of Ship Models

    I would be tempted to build it a little bigger and lighter, and see if you can turn it into an RC aircraft. Looks like ti might be made to actually fly. The top wing is way more elevator than you would need, but the bottom wing is likely enough it could fly. I actually designed, built, flew...

    Profile ship list update?

    That kind of data once compiled has more value to any self-percieved enemies of TEST than to TEST itself. I would resist the urge to compile such info. Far better to be able to present numbers that are anything but accurate.

    Is Killing Justified in Star Citizen?

    This is a long standing complaint going back to the earliest days of Everquest, and even non-graphic freeform gaming in the late 80s' and early 90's. I have to admit I hate to this day seeing handles that do not resemble names, such as "Steve83658". I do think though that if there were to be a...
