    Daily ops - prep and schedule - 12pm EST and 7pm EST

    Yankee is fine. It's not calling someone a Yankee, it's denoting the letter Y, just like Zulu represents the letter Z, and Quebec represents the letter for Q. The words were chosen because they are easy to hear and comprehend what letter you are trying to use, even over staticy comms. Times...

    Video Games and Violence

    What does "Gun Control" actually mean? To one extreme, it's taking away all firearms. To the other, it's being able to hit what you aim at.....I have relatives who are on both sides of this argument. First off, violence of any kind is abhorrent to me. At the same time, I've practiced...

    Do gamers not understand logic?

    The games we are backing are Squadron 42 and Star Citizen. Two independent games from the same studio. That's something a lot of people don't remember. SQ42 is a stand alone game and while many stand alone games are not developed for the money spent on SC/SQ42, they can still be fairly...

    What do you think about this Borderland 3/Take-Two vs SupMatto thing?

    Get the heck off my property. Record any and all conversation so that any threats made can be given to the cops. That said, content creators/influencers/streamers/whatever should probably have a lawyer. In fact, they should probably have an LLC or other corporate entity that can shield...

    Three months to go for the 890 Jump.

    Like putting a ladder between the decks?

    I dun goofed

    It isn’t, but just happens to be (relatively) close. By that, I mean within a few hundred miles. I grew up in a big state, so driving 4-5 hours to get somewhere isn’t a big deal to me. Small state people on the other hand seem to think a 30 minute drive is forever.... Growing up, 30...

    POW 05.08.19 - 11.08.19

    I seriously gave consideration that you were saying that you would be a prisoner of war..I mean woman for a few months and be afk until whatever you were doing calmed down again and the honey do list had been shortened..... Then I actually read the post...oh, plan of the week...

    The Humble Argo

    SRV is 130/150 warbond/credit, I think you were looking at the MPUV cargo and personnel which was 35 and 40 respectively. It might have been 65 for both... The SRV is a totally different animal

    I dun goofed

    If you are inviting a paunch of people (whales) to a big shindig about announcing a new ship...it better be a really nice ship. Yet another fighter/hauler/career starter ship won’t do. If they did that, those that they invited will feel (rightfully) upset. Expect it to be a big ship. Maybe...

    First look at Babbage landing zone on Microtech

    What you have now is what we affectionally refer to as a death trap over here. With a baby on the way, you need something a lot safer

    First look at Babbage landing zone on Microtech

    Provided they give appropriate longevity, I have no problems with component degradation. That said, appropriate longevity would be months of play time if not involved in combat and not overclocking. Yes, there should be the need to perform routine maintenance, but that should restore...

    First look at Babbage landing zone on Microtech

    My 10 YO truck had massive brake issues. Every brake line was rotting out and it would have required a replacement of most braking components to get it to the point I would have trusted it again, new master cylinder, new lines, new hoses. It was the vehicle I towed with, and the biggest...

    Are there any advantages of having multiples of the same ship?

    NPCs will not fly your ships without you on them. That means you won’t be able to put an NPC pilot in your Sabre. But, you can hire an NPC pilot that has their own Sabre.

    First look at Babbage landing zone on Microtech

    New Babbage reminds me of Mass Effect Andromeda

    The Ballista makes me more excited for the Tonk!

    The Endeavor has a mostly closed in hangar (front door). I don’t see the Ballista being nearly as effective as it would be on the deck of a carrier where it could have a much larger targeting sphere.

    Aegis Event coming up in August in Germany

    I think something like a carrier on the size of the Javelin, but less cargo than the Kraken, more ships/repair facilities, and heavier armor with functional escape pods. A destroyer sized mini carrier

    The Ballista makes me more excited for the Tonk!

    Not a herc, but put a few on the deck of a Kraken and things could get interesting..

    Crytek vs CIG - Settlement Conference date set

    The discovery process is very expensive and time consuming. Not just from getting the requested data together, but having your people tied up reviewing it. It might be a heck of a lot cheaper to drop the suit. If they have a really good claim, they might push it, but if the case is weak...
