    Welp, there goes Privateering a fleet from NPCs

    You are apparently unaware of the huge stolen car market where "used" cars are shipped overseas from the USA, typically to Africa. In 2012, there were almost three quarters of a million cars stolen in the US...

    Welp, there goes Privateering a fleet from NPCs

    One presumes NPCs don't have insurance. If players are able to have a real impact on things like the Vanduul war, ships taken from the Vanduul can't simply be replaced by proxy. They need to come from a pool of limited resources. You realize what we're discussing is whether the gaming dynamic...

    Welp, there goes Privateering a fleet from NPCs

    The issue as stated a few years ago is similar to and it's fix identical to, the portion of the system that tracks player lawfulness based upon their activity. There is a very advanced concept behind the thing that allows one to gain and remove outlaw status points, and the consequences of...

    Video: No! You can't keep that stolen ship!

    I think it is obvious that this fix for the exploit is not really a fix. As stated, one can chop shop or simply remove the weapons and expensive components. If you can do that, the same exploit we have always known about will work for that too, so the proposed solution is not a solution at...

    Welp, there goes Privateering a fleet from NPCs

    That is troubling but it has always been obvious that this exploit needs to be addressed. I likewise don't see why it should affect ships stolen from NPCs, so we'll have to wait and see. I think though if under no circumstances oyu get to keep the ship, I would look for another profession...

    Hey guys! Guess who's back!

    Welcome back! A guy in my church works at US Coast Guard. He jumps out of perfectly good helicopters into the frigid seas to collect wayward folks during hurricanes and such. You're looking for a boring job like that? Good luck with that!

    Should I be salty?

    If I had laid down cash money for a BMM, Carrack , etc., I guess I would complain, but since I am really excited to see how fast they'll make the 600i, I am not complaining. I can't say how badly I want to see twin S4 mounts for the S5s on the nose and screaming fast Millennium Falcon like...

    Should I be salty?

    Actually, you're still early. Glad to have you join us though! What did you buy? I always wonder what newcomers will buy. Did you buy all ships that are currently flyble?

    Video: A look at the new concierge rewards

    Kelso: TH, drag the F8 out to quadrant 3. Raven's waiting. Thunder Hammer: Roger that web leader, burning hard so she'll put the hammer down. Ready Raven? Raven: I'm on her. Say 5 seconds to burst. Raven: Linnen dropped! She's all yours Claimer! Claimer: Gonna get me some o' that luvly...

    Did you need a flamethrower, you said?

    It would be highly unusual if it did not use an external tank.

    Venture Executive armor has some gold on it

    Shwing and bling! Where comest this from? Is this some new offering outside the UEE/Outlaw options? I didn't know there were any others.

    Tuesdays. Am-I-right?! (There’s a discussion in there eventually)

    Can you run the game on a Xeon processor? Some of them run at 4.6 Ghz, and the base machines are really cheap. Is there a reason to run at 4.6 Ghz...

    The Rival

    The IWI X-95 actually has several improvements over the original Tavor. They are instructive as to what makes real evolution in gun design. View: https://youtu.be/CASkgMiTZDc And they are down in price from $2,500 to $1,750. With a short mag this is a great deer rifle. Supposed to be...

    The Rival

    I am a fan of bullpups. I used to carry a long gun around looking for elk, and I can tell you when scrambling through brush or over boulders, shorter is better. Lighter is also better with an easy round like the .308. You would not want to fire a .300 Win Mag that only weighed 7 lbs. They...

    The Rival

    People can argue back and forth about the utility in any given cartridge. I prefer the .308/7.62 as well, but Tavor makes this same rifle in that caliber too, and it is a bullpup, which means it is lighter, easier to carry, swings around corners in close combat faster, etc. It also has a host...

    The Rival

    It looks almost exactly like the Israeli made assault rifle it is named after, which is certainly one of the finest weapons made anywhere in the world,

    Playing alone is no fun and I'm too cheap to buy paper targets. Besides, I want moving, squealing targets!
