    Ship Expo 2.6.3 - Saturday August 12th at 2:00 pm CST / 20:00 UTC

    There is only one kendo dojo within 70 miles of me...and that is 62 miles away each way. Going to kendo is a 4-5 hour affair. Travel 1-2 hours up to make sure you are there on time, 2 hour practice, hour plus back home.... Some people go 2.5 hours each way once a week to go to a class up in...

    I would love to come, but this looks to be during my kendo class.

    IT view at the Star Citizen universe - what do you think

    Oh, and for those that think 14,000 km is not that far away (and it really isn't when put on the planetary scale as geostationary orbit for Earth is 35,800 km above sea level and the diameter of Earth is 12,750 km)...let me put it to you this way. In SC, most ships max out somewhere south of...

    probably not as the price has not gone up in 2 years at least

    [WTB] Phoenix

    If the pattern holds, this year will have a 5 year insurance on it (was 3 and then 4 years insurance being offered the previous years) If they don't offer during the anniversary sale, I might have a buy back with 3 years (and maybe one with 4 years insurance) on it...

    Ownership/Risk/Reward of research discoveries/IP

    Honestly, I think it will be more like what I've seen for exploration. You go out and find stuff like the location of an asteroid field. You then have a choice. You can sell it to the market, or you can sell it to Test. I am hoping Test will offer the most in terms of money and...

    IT view at the Star Citizen universe - what do you think

    For any coordinate system to work...x,y,z, polar, whatever, you need to have a center reference point, and then two 0 angles. One is the plane of the ecliptic, the other is much more difficult, If the plane of the ecliptic is on the same plane as the galactic spiral, then just use the galaxy...

    IT view at the Star Citizen universe - what do you think

    If they do move, it means the "zero" mark moves too, so you still need to account for it. For your reference, my 0 mark is pointed directly at the galactic core.

    IT view at the Star Citizen universe - what do you think

    thing is, each planet will have a specific rotation (day/night) and orbital prior (how long it takes to go around the sun). You might also need to know either the sidereal or synodic orbital periods for objects that orbit something, that is orbiting a star. It can get even more complex than...

    IT view at the Star Citizen universe - what do you think

    Looking at the schedule report. From what it says, planets will orbit, not just rotate. That means we will need to keep track of that if we do an app. (this is under user experience polish pass section rotating and orbiting planets subsection.)

    Light/Heavy/Medium Fighters

    I would still look at quantum fuel loadouts. They will be the first indications of intended range. I think 3.0 will bring better balancing, but 4.0 will be where we know for sure.

    Light/Heavy/Medium Fighters

    I think your average ship will be the Connie, Freelancer, Cutlass types. Able to be worked solo or with groups. I think those are all medium range ships. If you broke out fighters, the average fighter is Super Hornet/Sabre/Bucc/Gladius...so I would call them short ranged. How to tell. Look...

    Light/Heavy/Medium Fighters

    I would classify things a bit differently than what has been said already, but I can certainly see the logic people are using. Short range These ships are carrier based or planet/station based. They can be heavy hitters or mass produced (cheaper) ships that give you the needed firepower for...

    Almost as cool as Black Sunder

    Seems like Stargate SG-1 and the Goa'ulds

    PC advice please?

    Look at how much you want to spend now, vs how much you want to save for later (full upgrade) Lots recommend a 1080Ti or just a 1080, but I would look hard at the 1070 as well. For half the price it's not a bad deal, plus the funds to your build account will be replenished a lot quicker. I...
