I have sent over quite a few people to TEST, based purely on the selling point that its a fun group, and it is. You don't need much more PR than that.

Pretty sure the plan has always been that you can't insure equipment save what is stock on your bird when it is replaced, since it comes with. The cost of getting your custom ride all blowed up is you lose all the custom stuff. If you had to tread far and wide to get that special set of...

I think you'll be able to simply purchase most weapons. Should not be a big deal unless you want to mount something very unusual like a Vanduul plasma cannon. The bigger expense will likely be things like ammo and missiles. You mat need to travel to get what you want, but players will be...

"WC" is "water closet", the British way of speaking of what we call here the "bathroom", which houses a toilet. C. S. Lewis tells a funny story of an American guest who asked to use the bathroom, and Lewis feigned frustration, brought the guy some bath towels and led him to the bath, since it...

There is no equipment insurance. That's the cost of losing a ship you have the way you want it. Pretty sure this is the long term plan.

Yes. You put your finger right on why I am considering the Polaris. It will not be as fast as a wing of Vanguard, and doesn't hold the troops of three Hoplites, but it costs HALF as much as a wing of six Vanguard, so it is hard to say the Vanguard is the better choice. I think though, any...

To take control of any military engagement, you need to decide for your opponent what their actions will be. This is generally harder when a group is not well organized, but it is still possible. My suggestion is, send a Tally in first and let this be the focus of the opponent's attack, then...

Yes, and you can morph it into a Sentinel, and learn all the crazy gameplay that goes with EM warfare. A Sentinel, a couple Harbingers and three Hoplites is going to be a devastating combination for boarding big prize targets. Harbingers rock.

This is much more serous than peeps pretend. It is NOT coming from a "little ball of hate". He has a Sith Holocron. Answering such people can never have a positive outcome. Run away. Run away!

Cracks me up! So the distortion drops the shields extra fast and the Omni's kill the target? And the distortions don't overheat?

You said you need a dedicated fighter, by which I suppose you mean dogfighter; but then choose between two ships that are certainly not dogfighters. First question is, do you intend to dogfight? If you do, and you have the money, consider a Sabre. If you don't have that cash, consider a...

So does the system as envisioned allow one to replace or overclock thrusters in order to enhance performance? Basically if you buy a cheap bird it will have cheap thrusters that can be upgraded? That was an early promise and I'm not sure the system you describe supports this.

Yeah. They're practicing real military ops and working together as a team. Only a real team is going to beat them.

This is EXACTLY the way to use that bird. It's fire support for a battle that can take out three targets and retire for more missiles. Just the missiles get spendy, but there is so much entertainment value in this it would be worth it. I suggest search the battlefield before launching to see...

I worked with Jim for 8 years. Am doing my own thing now, but indeed yes; if Woodward is correct he deserves a Nobel, and human spaceflight is due for some amazing changes very soon.

Actually I think it is better understood as extortion. These aren't pirates. They're community thugs, shaking down the locals for pocket change. The question is, what do you do with such thugs? Personally I don't see how you could have a more enjoyable victi. .I mean opponent. TEST has the...

We like noob questions. We all ask them. Like "where's the WC?"

What sort of numbers did the pirates have, and what flag are they flying? Have you seen anything that looks like an official policy statement or where to view it? It matters. What if they have beer? Or rum?

Rumor is that when a ship gets spiked and its computer goes down, life support and manned turrets are the only systems that don't go down. So there is a good reason to go manned.

Yeah well, they were "repeating" the distortion settings from what was before then a unique sound for ZZ Top: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAzTO8GMZhk it was also "repeated" by Georgia Satellites: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdpAop7gp0w
