    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    While all other freelancers are definitely smaller than a Connie, Freelancer Max is actually (a lot) wider. Now, Connie is taller and longer, but unless it is a very peculiarly shaped wormhole, there wouldn't necessarily be a difference between the two. A Connie could fit through a smaller...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    No, Taurus supposedly has this system where the bottom of the cargo bay splits open, ejecting the cargo. It was like the main selling point in the Taurus brochure. I think there will be ships that will have it, and ships that wont. Taurus, cargo bay splits open and before deactivating the grav...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    Even if Taurus had exactly the same amount of Cargo as Max, it'd still be vastly more suitable for transporting volatile materials, making it potentially much more profitable in that niche. Having larger cargo hold is just a bonus, the important thing is you can dump the cargo if things go...

    The next big (little) thing. . .2nm chips

    Oh cool, that's 30nm smaller than the 32nm i7-2600k I got. Lmao.

    This is: Brilliant, Bonkers, Bright, Beautiful, Bananas, and other cool words that may or may not start with the letter B and can in some instances be preceded by such words like "absolutely."

    Anyone use a portable secondary monitor?

    Something like ? Oh wait, you wanted a touch screen that doesn't interrupt SC? I think any touchscreen would count as alt-tabbing, taking the focus out of SC. Maybe you just want a cheap Chinese tablet then? Personally, I just use my phone to look up stuff while in SC.

    While I agree with more or less everything else you said, I don't think civilian ships would really suffer tbh. Any ship that's large enough to have escape pods, should give players inside that ship a realistic chance to use those escape pods, otherwise they're just decoration. So even the...

    I think it's highly situational: - If you're transporting something corrosive/flammable, a single bullet sparking a single crate in single cargo hold could destroy everything in that hold, in which case separate holds would be safer. - If you're transporting metal, doesn't matter if a bullet...

    Not really. I merely don't think the armor will entirely replace the shields. But if you can drop S3 shields with couple well placed shots like that, then the armor would need to entirely replace the shields, because you simply wouldn't gain any benefit from the shields. Besides, if you can...

    I know that our auroras will blot out the sun, but I don't think we'd still have enough to form an impassable iron sphere between attackers and the escorted ship. Exactly what would stop an attacker from just flying up to the escorted ship? Nothing. There is no 'escort shield'. The only reason...

    Well, on larger ships it'd likely be larger. Larger ships are also slower. If it's something that's sticking out of the hull of the ship, it could make the larger ships easiest targets to disable shields on, which then means we'd be basically limited to using Sukorans on larger ships or...

    I think the noobifier condensed the important bits to roughly 3 min 46 seconds.

    Well, it really depends on how long a ship survives after the shield goes down, small fighters at the moment blow up basically instantly (as long as you hit them properly) and I'm not too sure that would change... Heavy fighters and anything larger than that, sure. But small fighters will go up...

    PC v PS, longitudinal price comparison

    Okey, first of all, don't take this post too seriously. It's bit of an edge of an edge case, but I just wanted to share my musings. So I got a PC in 2011, a beast of a machine for €2k. Along the way, I've done couple absolutely necessary upgrades, a new GPU for €200 a couple years ago and added...

    Honestly, most smaller ships, by the time you would've taken out the shield emitter you'd probably already dropped that shield. Even if the smaller ships now get the full benefit of the full shield HP pool, that's still just 2-7 seconds to take out one S1 shield. Now, maybe with something like...

    24 min mark is probably the most interesting info. Personally I've been a bit worried that they'd slip in the sort of direction that you'd *require* a co-pilot to be able to fire missiles at all in larger ships, but sounds like at least for now the pilot is still able to do it.

    Railen Q&A, Hull B Change

    Not quite sure what you mean? Anyhow, I'm just saying, loading up 40 areas instead of 1 area is already pretty bad, but if on top of that you have to move 640 boxes (320 out, 320 in) instead of 52 (26 out, 26 in), well, manually loading up Railen seems like an experience mainly targeted at...

    Wait wait wait wait wait You put standardized cargo boxes INSIDE those triangular pods? Sounds like this one will be extremely painful to load up manually. And what, There are like 40 of those triangular thingies. For 320 SCU capacity, it'd be something like 8 SCU per container. This means you...
