I had not heard they are all explodey, but that does bring to mind the question of just what cannot be disabled by an EMP. I had wondered before about this--not just the self destruct issue but life support and especially life support in a space suit. Only way to find out is of board some...

If you really can't tell that the first sentence has no verb, you should not attempt any journalism. You have not there written a sentence, and what is there does not convey a cogent thought. "Founded by the lead designer. . ." is a prepositional phrase and functions as an adjective modifying...

I could not get past the first sentence, as it does not have a verb. Please try again. If you want to post journalism, you should not post rough drafts, IMHO.

an armed ship owned and officered by private individuals holding a government commission and authorized for use in war, especially in the capture of enemy merchant shipping. verb 1. engage in the activities of a privateer. Kinda a good guy pirate. . .you get to kill things and take their...

Performance issues at 24? It's the age of the little blue pill. You'll be fine. 24 is pretty young but. . . What? Oh. Never mind.

IIRC the shot from Interstellar is of a Wormhole rather than a BlackHole. Very cool thread.

Jag has had that for a decade and a half now. You see the cruise control to follow at a certain distance and it automatically speeds up and slows down to maintain fairly constant distance from the car (or bicycle) in front. This is why some cyclists are not causing miles long delays on major...

My sympathies for Ninjagirl. Please inform her there is a special foaming spray bleach intended for bathroom use that can be applied to the general underwear area from afar, so as to avoid direct contact with contagion.

The differences between the Kore and Tana are still obscure. Certainly the ship compare notes are wrong, since they're saying the Kore can haul 30 and looking at the compartment shows the storage will never be the size of a Cutlass. The Tana comes with an upgraded reactor, a larger shield...

How is this different from rum? Rum is the archetype cane spirit. It is in fact the spirit of pirates! Cane spirits are pirate spirits! Montoya is actually a pirate in disguise! All hail ::hic:: pirate lord Montoya! ::hicup::

IMHO, the Reliant Tana is one of the most interesting ships in the game. It appears will function well with relatively small main engines and control thrusters, and will have a small radar cross section when folded for landing, so with Void Armor may be a wonderful stealth ship. It has room...

Hard to say why CIG does what they do. It is fair to note they are pretty shrewd. Remember their main business is selling cyber-ships. They know that many players will be attracted to the class of ships that is the last thing before a ship of the line, just because big ships like the Idris...

Yes, that's what I was thinking of. The AMD A12 is supposed to be so fast and cool that it can be used all over and is going into builds other than dedicated cards. I like All-In-Ones and if the 34" curved HP Envy can run SC on the new A12 I may go that route. I don't know how good the screen...

There is a means to remove points from your outlaw status. I saw someone running the missions the other day. You basically have to break into a comm station and hack the grid there, and if you can hold that room while security attacks you during the hack, you get a point removed. So you can...

Corvettes are military ships, smaller than "ships of the line" like Frigates and typically very fast. Banu and 890 Jump are not military. One is a merchantman freighter and the other is a luxury yacht. The Carrack is a dedicated explorer and the Polaris is likely almost twice its mass, so I...

Disappointing we still haven't see the Polaris. This is what it was last compared to, the Vandal Void: LENGTH 124m BEAM 90m HEIGHT 33m MAX CREW UNKNOWN POWER PLANT 4 (equivalent) ENGINE (PRIMARY THRUSTER) 3x TR5 (equivalent) MANEUVERING THRUSTERS 10x TR3 (equivalent) SHIELD 5 (equivalent)...

You make a good point but I don't think it will be an easy thing to do. I think the FPS combat people think they need to plan for is a minor portion of the task since most times you are looking to attack ships that do not have active players aboard and if they do, just one or two. Most times...

My favorite, and you can stand if you're manning a standing console on a Carrack, etc: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-OE1ZPi8vU

You sound very organized! I guess a lot of you came over from Eve together? Are you using VOIP as well? In a hairy fur-ball I would generally prefer to talk to teammates rather than type notes. I think though this misses the harder part of the issue. It is the long spans of time with...

I think that would be cool, but I also think you would have a terrible time convincing a mess of players to stand around in a Carrack waiting to be attacked. If there are things to do in the Dragonflies, then by all means use the Carrack as a base and explore those ancient ruins by day, sleep...
