If you think that justifies trash talking your director publicly, I guess that’s your choice. Most of us understand things like loyalty and discretion somewhat differently. Do you think Nia DeCosta somehow deserved the trash talk, or does the beer make that irrelevant somehow? I can’t help...

Just fyi, the announcement recently from the US National Ignition Facility that they had a break even event and we’re the first to produce net positive energy, is all propaganda. The NIF is a weapons research facility. Inertial confinement doesn’t have commercial applications for energy...

This is how hacking works in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny; the three Fantasy Flight Games tabletop RPGs. It’s really fun and fulfilling. In ship to ship combat, a team of players will typically be 4-6 people, each of which should be busy doing...

I think you have the right attitude, but I would caution that it’s a thoroughly bad idea to go to war with anyone who is metagaming. These guys who plot and plan to infiltrate other orgs and turn players against each other are not playing the game. They’re planning to attack not characters, but...

I think the point is that though you can try to do it all on your own, the result will be poor. Let’s take an example. Suppose you want to fly a Polaris solo. It is designed to be managed by five bridge crew, plus six turret gunners, plus an engineer supported by NPCs. Let’s just look at the...

Just for the sake of full disclosure, I was friended to Brie’s FB account before the first film, and fully supportive of her and Disney’s offering, until Brie went public with some feminazis bullshit and I disconnected. That is on her. I’m no misogynist but I am not supportive of radical...

I’m not sure what you’re skeptical of. There are very few cash sinks in game. Even once CIG implements realistic prices for fuel and ordinance, cash will be flowing into the game much faster than it flows out. To mitigate this, CIG wants players to hire NPCs and has already been clear these will...

I’m not sure that’s an endorsement. If I understood correctly, there’s an org here that decided to devote themselves to attacking and destroying another org by infiltrating them with Alt PCs and sewing dissent between the players. There’s nothing legitimate about those kinds of plans...

I think eventually, most every player will want some sort of deck based attack ship for use in org missions, so Fury, Arrow or Eclipse. There’s always time to buy one but I think everyone should be practiced at one of these. I can’t tell since I’m on my phone but it looks like you have an...

There is threat of great evil here. Players have spoken of a module with a bar that only sells non-alcoholic beer. Abomination.

What you’re describing is exactly what CIG has planned. There is some confusion if when you hire an escort pilot, it will have its own fighter. You’ll be able to hire turret gunners so one presumes they’ll man your turrets. NPCs will have skills that can increase over time and even at lowest...

Em, if I may respectfully disagree, I cannot think of a single example in all my long life, of an actor ripping a director during release of their film. There is literally no context where it could possibly be appropriate for Brie to make these complaints in public. It doesn’t matter if she’s...

Anyone else think it’s creepy and weird that people want to use their playtime to attach orgs and disassemble them? Who are we supposed to sympathize with?

I’m sorry but I can’t make sense of the original post. Are you saying that Someone unnamed spat on some little girl or next to her? What actually happened? Who were the witnesses? Does the act meet the qualifications for assault? Seems to me without these details we’re jumping the gun here...

So what happens if you snare someone and can’t see them at 18km? Is there something that alerts you or are you out of luck?

Brie Karson totally threw her director under the bus in a way like I have never seen before. It appears most of it was based upon creative differences about how much back story to include but regardless of the issue, this is really childish, narcissistic behavior. Really horrid stuff. If Brie...

So when is the afterburner supposed to be available? Only in QT mode? There’s just the two modes?

Hydrogen is very impractical, but the breakthrough of storing it inside solid metal does offer many different kinds of mitigations and advantages. Kelly Johnson was convinced it was the ultimate fuel well before anyone dreamed it could so easily be compressed to the density of a solid by...

Well, again a big fan of the P-38, but I should mention two issues here. First, there was actually a kind of parallax between the trajectories of the 20mm v the 50 Cals. The 20mm was aimed up compared to the latter and the two didn’t converge except at a specific distance. Luckily, the 50 cals...
