The Corsair is not really intended as an explorer. It’s the plundering ship step up from the Cutty Black. Corvettes, Corsairs and other pirate ships were chosen for speed and then overloaded with boarding party people to git loots. It’s a pirate ship.

I think there is huge value added when someone who knows how to squeeze performance out of a ship shares what they believe are the strengths and weaknesses of that ship. I’d never have guessed the X-85 was ranked so high. Most of us have many ships we’ve never flown nor will, so having them...

Its actually 6 additional guns and you can buy it with game money. This is the first Cutty I really like, but needs a bed, head and galley and a few less seats.

They were all using tractors. I watched another of theirs where they took complete control of the station for 6 hours. I think they scored 30 million. That is not a good score for about 60 man-hours of play. Getting the number of required players as low as possible is what makes this worth...

I think this is really good. After watching this guy's vids I can say he really is an ace pilot, able to get the most out of a ship. He hates the Vanguard and especially the Sentinel because it doesn't need to be flown by an ace to kill an ace. Ooops. Sorry for that. 😀 Note that since this...

And Elon Musk. He has managers and anyone managing thousands of people needs them, but Musk sticks his nose in everything and why should he not?

Well, I guess there is always an exception to the rule, but you realize, if your parents are Amish and told your sisters they can't go into porn, that's not sexism. That's something else.

This is a great explanation of the technology. What I have wondered about for years is how much of the craft can be repurposed for future use. Can NASA now make mirrors like these with aluminum reflectors for use in ultra lightweight visual range light telescopes? Can they easily manufacture...

I mean this is a straw man argument. People have not been telling women they can't be President because they are women for half century. You yourself noted that someone had to tell you women once could not get credit cards. Assuming this is true (and I don't recall that at all), this was half...

Be honest. Do you know anyone who has ever had this happen? I know one person. He's a guy in his late 60's, white anglo-saxon protestant, body builder whose parents broke his heart by announcing he isn't smart enough to do many different kinds of things. He was a gym owner at age 22. Not a...

Because this isn't heaven. Life is not fair. People do shitty things. Humanity is never going to produce an utopian society because if it did, it would ruin it. Life is tragic. People are flawed. We use laws to keep people in line enough to make civilization happen. Wondering why people...

I am familiar that half of graphic artists are women. I have myself however, never witnessed the kind of sexism people often claim. Could be because i grew up in NJ, and sexism was out of style here in the 50's. You understand, there were a lot of people who found sexism wrong before the law...

GC, as I said, I think you have a valid complaint if the behavior is identifiably harassment. Citing figures about employment percentages means nothing. Case in point: Sweden has made more effort toward sexual equality than any other nation. One remarkable result is that the more freedom...

You're a little confused. We were not discussing sexual harassment. That's a separate issue. Places that indulge that kind of thing make up the 1/10 places that get complaints about discrimination. I do not object to your observation here that this is toxic behavior that needs to be...

I'm not sure what country you're talking about, but I assure you modern initiatives are completely unnecessary and most are illegal. Gender discrimination has been illegal in the United States since 1964. All that is needed is enforcement of federal law. Private company "initiatives" most...

I don't personally think you can learn from such generalizations without looking afterward for specific examples. There is no reason to trust any of the complaints as made. Everyone complains. If the worker bees are not complaining, odds are management is not riding them properly. I am...

This guy Avenger One is really very good. He doesn't always explain when he should, but usually he makes up for it by the end of his vid. That means if you watch it twice you'll get it all. He si completely correct that the highest lateral thrust of a ship is almost universally ventral. That...

Merry Christmas!
