    Shields do not affect ballistics. They go right through to the hull, and if that hull is not military, you should expect it to cough and die in just an instant under the HH's guns. Hull and armor are the only defense against ballistics. You can see this prejudice for military designs v...

    I gotta say I also love the look of both the Polaris and Carrack! I can't see owning both, becasue I really want a ship to call home, so I gotta go with the Polaris. Not just because of the guns and toprs, but because I always have a need for speed, and I want to see how fast I can make the...

    I think someone has led you into a misunderstanding. First off, the HH doesn't carry torps. It carries S3 missiles which would be wasted on a large target. They're for fighters and cost too much to waste on large ships. Secondly, the HH carries 24 S4 guns. Reports are they can all fire...

    That's why I intend to settle for the Polaris. If you don't plan to use the turrets except for self defense, you could maybe get by with just 5 players and 20 NPCs. The players would be busy, but that's fun.

    Or the Hammerhead. Depends what you want to attack. I am pretty surprised at the power of the HH's guns and shields. It's going to be a fun attack ship. Still think it is an asinine layout, and I cannot see how the stories could be true that all the guns can focus on a single target, but it...

    Yes, it does. What do the ladies say?

    Yeah, but the 890 shoots blanks compared to the Polaris's S10's. Who would the hotties rather make babies with, the emasculated metro-sexual or the REAL Men? The pool table on the Polaris is all that's needed for fun. . .well with a little privacy.

    I still don't get why anyone would want the 890 when they could have a Polaris. Mine's bigger than yours. Neener, neeener, neeeeeeener.

    Yeah, last I looked the only firearms you can use are bang sticks. You have to spear them and the stick does the rest, but is easier to use a bow, IMHO. Wild boar can actually be a little dangerous to hunt with bow. That might be reason for a firearm. I think it depends if you're using a...

    I'm actually interested in the boar and alligator hunting. I haven't used the bow in ages and 'gator tail is supposed to be yummy. Boar is supposed to be the best tasting of all wild game in North America and what better for a big party than a pig roast? Sounds fun to me. But yeah, the...

    Yeah, I am totally not excited about spiderville. I'm not much a beach guy but the dolphins will be cool. Now if they can train the dolphins to eat the spiders, that would be the best. Unfortunately, looks like some of the spiders eat dolphins. And then there are the friggin' lizards the...

    VIRPIL restock is in just a few hours

    My bad. I thought that one was an i5. Rather go for something like this, though I don't know if I need to pull the HD for a fast SSD. The main thing is it has enough connections--I think. If the sticks use USB, well, this has 6 of them...

    We're opening a lab at Kennedy Space Center. It's all full of way kewl. . .trust me. And an hour from Disney, is perfect for the ladies. **Note how cleverly I have throught through the reasons to move to swampland. I have been making fun of FL friends and family for many years and it is all...

    VIRPIL restock is in just a few hours

    So how do I attach Virpils to this, and what do they need, USB 3.0 inputs? https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Rocker-51396-Pro-Series-Pedestal-2-1-Video-Gaming-Chair-Wireless/253918938854?epid=12027526407&hash=item3b1ebf86e6:g:OIAAAOSw0rBbuGr7&frcectupt=true I'm thinking of putting a Thinkcenter in...

    Is there a way to do this for an apartment building on Merritt Island, FL from here in NJ? It sounds like the process you're describing is after the fact--checking what a service I'm buying is providing. That's not going to help me choose an apartment.

    Is there a way to look up ping rates on various providers? When I move I'll likley not have a huge choice, as I expect to be in a cheap apartment for about a year, but if there is a way to look up the quality of the service at any given apartment complex, that would certainly enter into my...

    I will be extremely interested to hear if anyone installs the app on a Mac. I have been planning for ages to add a full gaming machine since I have an ancient iMac, but if this will run on a used, 11" MacBook Air with a large monitor added, it would be a LOT cheaper for me to pay every month...

    St. Patricks Day(Stella Fortuna) Sale - A lot of wait for next to nothing

    I would be thrilled to see a Shamrock edition Hercules, with internal quad S5 missile launchers and some limited stealth. I doubt they'd give it S9's since that would supplant the Tally and Eclipse, but 28 S5 missiles (or maybe S7's?) off a platform that is hard to see at 30 km would be an...

    I know Bored Gamer has been recommending this for months. I thought though, that the service topped out at less RAM than the game required. So how can it run well? Recommend you sticky this up top.
