    That is really the issue. It is such a great deal for new money that people want it without spending new money, hence the whining. It's not straying into anything. If you're not open to injecting new cash into the game, you can be jealous of those who are, but complaining is really not called...

    On the Son's of Orion mission storyline, there is more somewhere, but I can't find it right now. I know in the past there was official note of the "Son's of Orion" mission storyline where you would go specifically to kill Vanduul for pay. That's a good place to take a Polaris, IMHO. Quick...

    Theorycraft - Starfarer MOAB delivery system.

    Fuel air bombs explode twice. The first explosion bursts the canister and mixes the fuel with the air. The second explosion is the fuel itself which burns supersonically or DETONATES and that makes a big boom. Theoretically one could rig this with a standard fuel canister from a StarG, etc...

    Theorycraft - Starfarer MOAB delivery system.

    One of the things that proponents of kinetic energy weapons from orbit do not often discuss is that hypersonic reentry heats objects so much they will disintegrate unless special conditions are met. We see this happen with almost all meteors. Studies of how tungsten rods would melt have shown...

    This is TEST. We are happy to gulp cheap, crappy wine as well. It is however true, that if you write a thoughtful and respectful note, CIG is willing to bend over backwards to please their supporters. While such a note may not change policy, they make exceptions for individuals. So for...

    Yes. It remains to be seen if you can cut weapons off a broken hull and use them. That would be cool. I can imagine a huge market for S5 plasma weapons provided by a small team on a Polaris, selling to the highest bidders. Those Vanduul plasma guns are perfect alpha strike weapons. Put...

    Theorycraft - Starfarer MOAB delivery system.

    I don't think you'll ever see a harness or mount for a bomb on the Starfarer, but if you found sufficient quantity of extreme explosive, it would be interesting to see what happens if you just fill one of the tanks and drop it on someone. Preferably someone you don't like much.

    Yeah. I think he's got it. If you don't keep in mind the goal is to raise money, you get all whiney. If we're gonna get all whiney, lets just whine that the game is not out yet. That at least makes a little sense. Well, no it doesn't. Yes, it does! It does not! Sheesh.

    Netbooks

    I have looked at them but to compare with price, you need to buy 7-10 years old, and they all have HDDs. That seems a little behind to times to me. I am curious about the no-name Chinese knockoffs...

    which would you rather have. . .

    Once they open the mission series centered around the "Sons Of Orion", then there will be a path to keep dollars flowing by killing Vanduul. Granted to do that with a Polaris you want the very expensive torps, but if the reward is sufficient, then there would be a simple path for keeping a pure...

    I was liking the idea of a 10" screen and don't want to go smaller, but I like the idea of a 12 or 13" screen more, and the laptop makes good sense. Actually my partner is our security specialist. I'm looking for options to bring to him. It is really his decision, and I think you're...

    Yeah, this is what I want: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wps.moffice_eng&hl=en_US And $65 delivered is just cheap as dirt...

    I can't really do our work online, it is far too confidential. However, what I did note is that in the pic of this cheap android netbook...

    Netbooks

    There is no such thing as a cheap used Mac. Android tablets are $80 new. Win 10 tablets are about twice that, as are Chromebooks. Used Macs are again twice that price, and since I only need it as a temporary fix (till my iMac gets moved to FL) I am hesitant to spend more than I need to. If I...

    Hercules military transport

    Yes, but I have never heard anything that made me think this would be in the early game. I think in the expansions after Beta perhaps. It really depends upon popular demand. CIG was schrewd to offer the Tumberil first, see the response and then offer the carrier for it. Can’t blame them for...

    I am still leaning toward the Polaris, but I would still need to fit one or two tiny ships inside; maybe a Raven. Not sure if you lose the Polaris and the raven is onboard if you lose them both. And I'm not sure I can go without a Sentinel.

    Yeah. . .I'll stick with the Polaris.

    That is the size of a the Mechwarrior Elemental power suit. I think he was talking about something more like the 80 ton Awesome:

    The Crucible may be SC's easiest to steal ship. If you look carefully at it, it is neigh unto indefensible. However, if it is landed planetside, and especially if operating in a hangar, could be it would be safe. OTOH, I just think The Outsiders have a handful they're keeping safe for us and...
