    What are your FPS Weapons of Choice?

    I doubt it is "most". Soldiers are not issued second weapons past a knife and many armies no longer issue those. Certainly soldiers pick stuff up, and they're not supposed to, but if they're the one carrying it and they're not slowing down the team, I suppose it is up to them. Point is...

    The Staggered Development extra time fallacy

    Personally I think there is wisdom in this approach, since it allows the testers more time and every person in the process is available to fix bugs and polish stuff. I think it is certainly harder than only having one thing to do, but I always plan employees work schedules such that if one task...

    Nautilus brochure and related data

    The best Close Air Support craft are not fast. They are tanky and have overwhelming firepower sufficient to destroy hard targets like tanks. Just as in SW Combine, many ships in SC are of a class sufficiently larger than vehicles that they will overwhelm the vehicles. However, to be...

    I think real bombs will be cheaper.

    What are your FPS Weapons of Choice?

    Looks to me like the Demeco is all I need, but gimme 6-7 mags. There are still a lot of players carrying more than a single weapon. Just a reminder, that is not optimal for the same reasons soldiers don't carry "backup" weapons. You have enough to carry and unless you have need of a special...

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    Looks like they're currently predicting cat 4 with 140 mph sustained winds. Apart from the flooding with generally does most of the damage; this will tear many buildings down. Lets pray people leave early, since there is only one way to get out of the pan handle, and if everyone waits until...

    Nautilus brochure and related data

    I recall that CIG committed some years ago to sensor buoys, and there was the question whether they could be stealth or not. I have to wonder whether the Nautilus can deploy them as well. I suspect they'd be smaller than S5 mines, and deployable by much smaller ships; but it would be cool if...

    What do you look for in SC spaceships these days?

    I should also have noted that inside the martial roles, I most often look for speed and stealth. This game appears it takes the entire stealth dynamic very seriously and lifelike. Almost every ship I see I ask myself what can be done to trick it out for stealth play.

    The one question on every prospective buyer's mind...

    To drink, to kill things and to take their treasure. To grind our enemies into the dust and hear the lamentations of their women. To shoot pool on the deck of a starship. To hope, to chance, to ponder. . .why indeed do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

    Labor Day Weekend

    It's time to rest from your labors. You have a three day weekend and your SC group has 12 players planning to be around almost all the hours coming. Each has several NPCs, so you could actually field about 50 combined. Your goal as a group is to go out into uncharted space and seek to find...

    What do you look for in SC spaceships these days?

    I really want almost all my playtime on one ship. I’ll never have the time I want to do all the things I’d like to in SC, so I look for broad utility in the martial space. Right now that means the Polaris. Design also turns my head and the Carrack was a close runner until they took the...

    Montoya's thoughts on the Nautilus

    I love everything about this ship and the new gameplay it’s intended to introduce. I can see reasons for a fleet to own many, and I’m especially interested in just how quiet it can run. I can envision flying half dozen into Vanduul space to lay traps a day in advance of an assault. There’s just...

    Guess the Aegis ship going to be announced in Frankfurt Aug 24th

    Looks like a Hero Class Far Trader, which would make both an excellent freighter and a mine layer.

    Corvette class drone master assault ship.

    Super Hornet, Attrition Repeaters and Power Failures

    The Aegis Regulus is one of the weakest S1 reactors. I suggest you pull it and replace it with a StarHeart. Should clear up your troubles completely as it provides 50% more power. https://hardpoint.io/#/customize/15w2uIKjbAAAAA

    Which should be the next SURPRISE ship to go live?

    Polaris, Carrack, Hull C. The Hull C is going to change the way people play this game.

    Im not usually a tinfoil hat conspiracy guy, but Epstein did not commit suicide!

    Yes, the logs show Clinton flew on the Lolita Express 23 times. No. So far as I am aware, Trump never flew on the Lolita Express. This is what I am concerned about--that these stories have lives of their own with no basis in fact. It's that or I have been misinformed, and I am not a Trump...

    Im not usually a tinfoil hat conspiracy guy, but Epstein did not commit suicide!

    Trump threw Epstein out of Mar A Lago when this went down the first time, and said he didn't know the guy. It's going to take more than group pics to show that's not so. So far I've seen no evidence of a real connection between them, and allegations that Trump knew what Epstein was doing, made...

    Vanguard Performance Analysis - 3.6.1

    The devs do actuually consider the input and analysis of the fans, so that does make a nice presentation of your take worthwhile.

    Im not usually a tinfoil hat conspiracy guy, but Epstein did not commit suicide!

    If we all have to guess, I'm guessing that was the most expensive hit in history. I would not be terribly surprised to find it cost $100M given the number of people that needed to be bought, and the number of people doing the buying. The next time Hillery tells us all she's broke, we should...
