    What makes a good SSD?

    Does this mean one should only look for CPUs that support DDR4? https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/ddr4-ram-specs-release-date-future-computer-memory/ Who is using DDR4? Most of what I see for cheap is DDR2. Seems that must be why it is cheap.

    What makes a good SSD?

    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct250mx500ssd1?cm_mmc=Social-_-Facebook-_-LinkPost-_-mx500promo Do you look at transfer rate? For a good gaming machine, can you use SSD to replace inadequate DDR ram, or should oyu buy the more expensive (seemingly) fast DDR?

    Them's fightin' words. You're sure you want to talk to a real philosopher that way? I don't have anything at risk. I haven't paid for the game, don't have time to play, and don't have a machine that could handle it if i did. I am involved here because it looks like the best game I have ever...

    States That Drink The Most Beer

    They left off all the important ones: the state of paranoia, the state of confusion and the state of euphoria are all missing. Likewise the states of fear, self-loathing, and incontinence from tequila intake.

    At what point on the roadmap will we have full group functionality?

    I don't think you'll ever see it here. "Full group functionality" seems would require the members to each be fully functional, and for that you need another group. We trade functionality for beer, here.

    It really is important to remember that no one is really buying ships. They're supporting a game. There is no contract to deliver any ship at any given time. The ship is merely a benefit of early support and needs to be viewed that way to make any sense at all. You understand, none of us have...

    Didn't die!

    Glad to hear you're through the worst. Get well soon!

    Theorycraft - Starfarer MOAB delivery system.

    That is a problem, but also note you have to have sufficient energy to deorbit the rods, which means you're lifting rockets to tie to those rods. I don't honestly think anyone would do something like this until we have a replacement for rockets. Needs something propellantless.

    Yeah. Personally I would not spend cash on ships that aren't in game. You can get them when they come, so why not invest in the ones you can fly when you spend the money?

    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...

    which would you rather have. . .

    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...

    which would you rather have. . .

    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...
