Some of us still believe the proper function of music is to give glory to God. You don't need to agree, but don't spoil it for those of us who do. Below copy new stuff or oldies but goodies--stuff you enjoy so others can too. Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la. . . View...

I dunno whether this is still planned for Q1,-23, but I liked the video here. Though I don't have a compulsion to run a Crucible, I've always loved the notion. I've long been planning to run the Son's of Orion storyline when we hit Beta. That's the merc mission series fighting Vanduul, and in...

I love the look of this ship, and I want to love the rest of it as well. I have to wonder if whether CIG had offered more than 3 modules they would have hit a home run with this. Suppose it also had available a tractor and salvage module you could cut and drag components like turrets off dead...

Rumor is he turns nine today. I don’t believe it. Wish him a happy one anyway.

I have a lot of respect for your background, but if you want to tell me to shut the fuck up, you need a stubbly beard, shit-eating grin and then buy me a beer. So don't be a dick. Where's my beer? Hey, let me be pissed. They fucked up my beloved Sentinel and now the Polaris. I need ten more...

You do realize you get a Carrack as the loaner for the Galaxy, so you really didn't need to buy one. The Galaxy will probably not be out for at least 4-5 years, and buying it now is the cheapest way to own a Carrack.

I think it is a beautious ship, but if I wanted to haul with just a couple partners, I think I'd prefer the Railen. The weapons are better, the speed is supposed to be excellent, there's a possibility of reduced signature, I love the variable geometry and the grav-lev technology is just...

What was the detail of the objection to the original hangers? Not textured enough or some such? I liked them and don't recall any complainst about them before CIG removed them. I thought there was some rumor they removed them because they demanded too much from the servers?

They removed the vehicle bay without mention. If you plan to use this for exploration you now have a problem. They also removed the holo-viewer. if you planned to use the bridge for tactical analysis during battle, you now have a problem. These were both elements that directly impact the...

I would recommend you consider expanding your evaluations to include the Lancer MIS, both Talons, the Buccaneer (it would be interesting to see an all Drake "Pirate!" team), and all of the EMP carrying ships. EMP is due to reemerge as a thing in 3.18 with the rebalance of distortion and...

I’m still feeling annoyed by what feels like a deception. Someone tell me, how many times did they say they couldn’t fit everything in, yet they changed the ship from 4 to just 2 decks. This isn’t a larger ship. It’s a much smaller ship than what they sold us. Look at the old side view...

What might be instructive is to choose a baseline defensive force and then have a series of attacking forces each with the same number of players, but with very different compositions. So then you hopefully get real world numbers concerning which is better, a wing of Hurricanes or twice as many...

I'm skeptical of the value of any sort of "objective" balancing formula. I understand why you'd want one, but the problem comes that although values like firepower, armor, shielding, speed, and maneuverability can be quantified, the actual value of any quantity is entirely situational. For...

I'm pretty sure the min crew remains at 11: 5 bridge officers, 5 turret gunners and 1 engineer. Perhaps the engineer can oversee NPC engineers for things like the torp room. CIG also mentioned they expected a troop of NPC marines aboard, and it makes good sense to assign 3 NPCs to each turret...

In general, wargaming doesn’t focus so much on earning points as completing an objective or defending against. You might assign points to each side and use them to balance sides though. So for example you could say 1pt for a small ship, 2 for heavy fighter, 3 for medium ship, 4 for large, then...

I think the turrets are all S5, meaning twin S4 guns, so these all fire 1400 mps.

These things were all expected save the removal of the vehicle bay. There is a large space between the cargo hold and torp room that is unmarked. Is this perhaps the new vehicle bay? It used to be aft. They did not mention removing it but it seems this is what they did. I'm not happy. OTOH...

Does this mean we'll have the ability to redesign ships in game and get permission to fly them in the PU? Could this lead to specialist modding services that you take your ship to and have altered to your liking, then passed through CIG...

I personally want to be able to pop back and forth between two PCs, one for solo play and one for elaborate play, and each with three NPCs I can attach. It’s too early for me to say where to get the NPCs. If paying $5@ means I don’t need to pay an NPC a salary, that sounds good to me, but until...
