    600i Explorer vs Constellation Aquila

    Wasn't the whole notion of fast Zombies from the development of the Resident Evil games and movies? I don't recall fast zombies before RE, and in RE1, none of the humanoid zombies are fast. I don't think they come until about RE3? What of course this means is the pirate zombies of Pirates of...

    600i Explorer vs Constellation Aquila

    Yeah. I think if you know you want M radar, then you have 3 good choices. The Vanguards are the fastest and can outrun many ships. They're also the best armed of the three. The Terrapin is the stealthiest, and lets face it, that is a huge advantage. Given a choice out in the black alone...

    HCS Voice pack review

    KIRK RULES!!! Didn't you know? Hey, you guys have your flight systems talking back to you, and haven't made a comedy sketch up yet? Why are we not seeing, hearing and rolling on the floor? You can get docked a drink that way, or have to buy a round for the house. Now get on it!

    600i Explorer vs Constellation Aquila

    Don't be so hard on yourself! You're supporting game development, and since you purchased the most expensive of the birds with M scan , you can fly all of them in turn. Add the Cutty and Mercury Starunner to the list and check them out. Take notes and see what you like. That's what Alpha is...

    600i Explorer vs Constellation Aquila

    1) What exactly is this "cutting-edge modularity" CIG speaks of in the 600i and what tangible benefit will this have? The 600i can swap out the luxury suite for an exploration package, but it's not a BUK. You buy one or the other ship. 2) What is the benefit of having two scanners on the...

    Forbes article on SC.

    That's very kind of you to say, but I am way too busy with other things to write, and I'm not really as expert as it may seem. If you want to study post-modernism, I suggest watch a few YouTube vids of Steven Hicks and Jordan Peterson. They're both quite good though Peterson gets drawn off...

    Forbes article on SC.

    If I may play philosopher for a moment (my trained profession), the reason journalism has changed from pretending objectivity and actually seeking it, to pretending objectivity and completely abandoning it, is the rise of the Post-Modernist world view. When you deny the very nature of objective...

    Anybody buying the new Oculus Quest or S?

    What he said. I think for VR to be a compelling option for SC, you would need to be able to map your sim pit into the illusion, so that when you look down you see your hands on sticks or whatever controls you're using. I'm not holding my breath for that, though who knows what will be a decade...

    3.6 rocks next month!

    That's a perfect opportunity to test out the Vanguard sporting the S5 Absolution Distortion Cannon. It fires a spray of pellets and not many of them would need to hit a Bucky to knock it senseless. I'd love to see a vid of that, and to find out what happens with the Bucky after you catch your...

    3.6 rocks next month!

    . . .though it's more like 2 months from now, given it will likely be the end of June. What are you looking forward to? Myself, I am waiting breathlessly for the Bounty Hunting dynamic to come into its own, and for the Vanguard Sentinel and Harbinger. I'm very interested to see how the...

    Red vs Blue

    Toys recommends Discord to all TESTies regularly for good reason. Even I can tell it's the place for the cool and happenin' peeps. Just go. Won't kill you.

    Thanks! I had never seen this above.

    What the BUK. A video by Noobifier.

    That has been the rumor for some time, and the rumor proved to be true in part since they did rework the frame and gave the larger door to all the variants. If you'll recall, the Hoplite originally had a different frame with a wider ramp to servcie the squad function, and it was not swappable...

    Get Your Wings!

    Sounds just right save I would not go hot anywhere they brag about making your food inedibly hot. Places like that I order medium. Some people go too far.

    What and Who to ask?

    True, and they may leave it, but since the time that ships like the Polaris and even the Redeemer were planned, the available guns have gotten larger. I think the Kraken has S8 guns. IIRC, when the Polaris was designed, the chin mount was supposed to be S6, and that was the largest mount...

    What and Who to ask?

    I'm curious now that they have added S6-10 weapons if there is a plan to adjust ships in the pipeline. The Polaris' guns seem undersized given the mounts on the HH.

    What do you do for a living?

    Very cool. If we ever get to build our own digs at KSC, maybe you can design them for us! I'm hoping for a 100 year lease on all the lands West of the old Shuttle landing strip, so enough to put all operations at the same location, developing over decades. It is extremely inefficient to have...
