The Polaris does have a bit of cargo space--about twice that of a Connie; so you could try hauling freight with it. It should have decent sensors, though less than the Carrack, so you could explore with it. Also there are supposed to be missions written in the Sons Of Orion storyline that...

Sounded great. I wanted to watch too, but I was in the room when Montoya took his hat off. Can't see a damn thing now.

Yup. It's noteworthy how they put scan stations in several ships (even smallish ones like Lancer and Turtle), and to use the full capability you need to use the station. I have said this before, but will say it again--scan capability is one of the most important capabilities a ship has. The...

I don't understand. How do i open this book? Oh, I'm so confused. I just wanna be loved. Is that so wrong? Well, loved and kill things, and take their treasure.

This is good, but you alternate through different viewpoints, voices and tenses, so you need to pick one for each especially if you decide to run an edit. IMHO, if you are sharing real writing you don't want to share unedited material. The most common mistake made by inexperienced writers is...

I'm happy to wait but I want a Polaris and maybe a Prowler. . .oh and a Hoplite, and oh a. . .

How very cool! What other ships do you intend to offer?

I'm a Christian and not cringing at all. This whole concept is explored in detail in the wonderful series Dark Matter. This is just a game, so why cringe? The philosophical question of course, is whether all we are is the summation of our memories. That makes a nice plot device, but I think...

Started with red wine but graduated to Yukon Jack. Since I was not driving and neither was my younger brother, we got pretty stinky. I haven't done that is ages. Was great fun.

Who would do such a mean thing?

Yeah well, I think people misunderstand Darwin's thesis. What he really hypothesized is the unsurvival of the unfit, but if that were true, how could we then have a culture of people eating Tide Pods?

Some stuff you can outrun but IIRC, when Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii the explosion burned all the O2 in the air, and thousands suffocated even before the ash began to fall. When mother nature pops a zit, be careful. Some things you can't outrun, even in an Aurora.

Yeah, the same generation that is eating Tide Pods.

Good question and I have wondered about the same thing. However, gaming rigs generally have a powerful GPU that COMSOL doesn't really need, and don't usually have 64GB ram, so there is this difference. In a laptop, I don't think we can overclock much. We're kinda stuck with whatever they have...

Won't let me upvote since I'm not a member, but surely deserves a ship!

You got that right, brother. View: https://youtu.be/M1F0lBnsnkE and gimme some of the Honky Tonk Woman. . . View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwVR40xgQ7k

Even if there are a lot of Carracks, they are intended to be so fantastically customizable that I don't think anyone would be wise to make assumptions about them. I'll bet there will be at least 20 subsystems one can custom for any ship, making no two the same. If the ship grows like so many...

I am learning in preparation for buying several machines with different requirements. One of the issues is we want to run COMSOL on a workstation grade laptop, like a Lenovo ThinkPad...

I think it matters what you intend to use the fleet for. Personally if I were going somewhere dangerous, I would prefer a fast fleet with lots of punch, so probably a Polaris/Carrack/StarG ensemble surrounded by a dozen small ships, some of which would run perimeter and others would scout...

so the connector for DDR4 is called m2, and one wants to verify it is running at full 3,200 Ghz?
