    TSMC - Ship Worth Taking | Sunday July 11

    This looks great. Wish I could join you. I have already recommended it to a friend who doesn't read the forum as often as i do. Let me recommend you bring some Red Cutties and spawn to them, so if you buy the dirt nap you're back on mission right away. Lots of players use the Red for FPS...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    I'm still hoping they'll do a quick pass on the bridge of all the Connies. I doubt they'll ever remove the struts--that's signature for most cargo-like ships. It's not a mistake. There aren't any Connie fighters and you don't need such an open view to launch missiles. What I want to see...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    Meaning, you can simply eject the cargo because of the tractor beams? When I look at Lancer, Connie, Runner and Corsair, I still think the most practical to fly is the Lancer, just because she is so stealthy. I don't think it would be much a life living on one though. For comfort I think I want...

    A mining org's leader reflections on their being ambushed by a pirate org

    Interesting. It sounds like they didn't have any kind of plan for such an eventuality. Makes me wonder what the point was of an entire mining group if not shared defense. One of the things he did not mention is deception. In this instance, a good bluff can save an entire group. Saying more...

    Looks like the Taurus will have 172 SCU

    Kinda places it at the top of the solo-transport pack. I'm gratified they gave it lots more than the Lancer Max and StarRunner, or it would have faded to obscurity. Never gonna be quiet like the Lancer nor fast like the StarRunner, but if you want to fight your way out of trouble, seems the...

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    I think we should note that there are a couple different roles/uses for stealth and they differ in loadout. There's the standard stealth attack where you're looking at a single strike and then fight hot, and there are stealth situations/loadouts where you go back into stealth again and again...

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

    It's a bit more complex than this and I didn't understand it completely, but past tech has been on the order of 14, 11 and 9 nm/transistor. I think this is as large a breakthrough as it is because they're actually building transistors 3D, and when you average out the switch density you get this...

    Extra ships in Fleet Manager/ASOP terminal, besides loaners and temporary free-flys

    I have talked with several people who don't want to fight in game so much as transport, trade and maybe mine. I always say the best starter transport is certainly the Lancer because it is so stealthy, you can avoid most trouble, but the Lancer doesn't seem to qualify as a starter ship any more...

    Extra ships in Fleet Manager/ASOP terminal, besides loaners and temporary free-flys

    Do you recommend the Nomad start package to those who want to mine?

    Vanguard wish list

    I have not seen any explicit statement that ewar was cancelled, but I'm pretty sure CIG has been clear there are no plans to remove the Sentinel EMP. While we are still waiting on ewar (really just waiting on the entire swapable sensor mechanic), I don't think there is a plan to change the...

    Slave 1

    Perhaps you're unaware of the historic precedent for this observation. Disney fired Gina Carano because of a comic she reposted on social media, that noted that Jews were first beaten on the streets of Germany by the German people, not by Nazis leaders. Germany didn't get round to gassing 6...

    Vanguard wish list

    I want to agree with Richard above, but my trouble with this interpretation is that when the Vanguard was designed, the Sentinel was planned to be the ewar version and ewar has never emerged. We were told the Sentinel would be able to fake the signature of other ships, but there's now no plan...

    Slave 1

    Back to the Disney thing: the CEO of Disney fired Brie Larson today. She was supposed to play the uber-character Maeve in her own series, but seems she was demanding pay right off the charts and Disney CEO Bob Chapek fired her. She will still play the role in The Acopyte unless that too gets...

    Extra ships in Fleet Manager/ASOP terminal, besides loaners and temporary free-flys

    Just out of curiosity, what sort of grinding were you doing to earn a Sentinel inside a week? I'm always curious since I never know what to recommend to new players. I'm still confused which is the best starter pack. That Nomad seems to have jostled things a bit.

    Tobii Eye Tracker review

    I'm confused. Are you saying you can actually work controls in your ship with hand gestures in mid air, like with a Leap Motion Controller? I thought all the Tobii did was point your view depending upon where you point your eyes or head.

    Slave 1

    The most offensive thing to me about cancel culture, or the notion that children with no ethics training, no time in church, no objective values, no sense of history and no understanding of the world around them; are going to correct everyone who went before them and not only dictate the...
