If the laser beam was perfectly parallel then yes it would continue on until it hit something indefinitely, but that requires perfect optics which I figured even in the year of SC was not achievable and so the light beam would gradually spread apart, much like a flashlight just over a far...

It's all good. The issue is there is not enough testing to truly know how much of the population is infected or be able to show any sort of meaningful trends which is why the death count while averaging a 30 day lag from initial infection is a better metric and even then its questionable...

Both @NaffNaffBobFace and @Richard Bong have great answers. While there is friction in space it's so low as to be considered non-existent (1.322 × 10−11 Pa ) there would still be a slight drag on the projectiles over a very long duration. The other aspect is that space is very empty and the...

This explains the new profile pic. Was going to say it was rather epic but now I understand it's your hazmat suit.

I live in the USA and that's still a long way away. We talking 6 plus hours by plane or 24 hours by car.

I know there is a trend to look only at the trend of the new cases to support one desired result but it's starting to really show the lack of any sort of rational thought process. Even this graph by the New York times is attempting to show a huge jump in the number of reported cases and project...

Wow, that is rather impressive. I can tell from it not looking like it was drawn with crayon's you have not been drinking enough.

Ah, I found it. So they are still using the scientific names but have asked for the common name for the COVID-19 variants to use the Greek Alphabet instead of the geographical location of the first recorded patent. Nothing wrong with that. This is simply following the request WHO made back in...

Typically they go to just using numbers. I am honestly surprised they have not already and am wondering why not.

Even better by those who don't want to be vaccinated they free up the available supply to those who do. Outside the ethical question of forced vaccination or anything medically forced there is also the logical question of let's not worry about those who might choose for their own reasons not to...

Mutations even in a vaccinated population are possible as the vaccine itself is not 100%. But even outside of that the virus is zoonotic thus any hope of ending the virus mutations or removing this strain from the planet is impossible. In fact, is not the virus mutations within a species that...

Not sure why we are stressing so much over the unvaccinated. While they do pose a slight risk to the vaccinated the studies continue to show it's very small and so they are really only harming themselves and those who follow their philosophy.

While this is true I do not agree with your projecting fighter protection of the bombers to be the same as fighter protection of the torpedoes themselves. I have been a large advocate for fighters as I feel that they will have the biggest impact on the outcome of most fleet engagements...

There are some assumptions made here that the All About Alpha 3.14 puts into question. missiles and torpedoes will have a multiple speeds based upon size and type as well as they will not fly at constant speed. They now use a IFCS2 system which works very similary to ship thrust with their...

It's not the only ship that falls into this bucket. There are a number of earlier ships that had a far more general ability to them when the game was going to be far smaller in multiplayer scope. Now that it's very much an MMO the ship's roles need to be far more specific with pros and cons...

Interesting ideas. At this point with so many loops still not implemented or talked about it's one of those things, we will need to wait and see. Past games of Chris flagged fired torpedoes so they were easy to identify and they did not have a lot of hitpoints and if that is carried over it...

While having to toggle between missiles and guns currently exists in this build I have a feeling it's just a temporary outcome of them introducing the missile role for the co-pilot and not a long-term solution and that the next release will bring it back to the pilot to not have to toggle...

It's going to be interesting to see if these new daily cases cause a similar rise in the daily deaths we have seen prior (its been about 30 days lead time on new cases to a rise in deaths). I have a feeling we will not see much of a rise in deaths as we did with the prior waves in the UK and...

Taking this out of context brings a smile to my face.
