    Has there been any mention of gimbal weapons that auto-track their target?

    I do recall that both NPCs and AI would be available to turrets so they will be capable when not manned, but that PC manned turrets would be designed to always be more effective. My guess is if all you want is to make the turret functional, the NPC option will be more expensive over time and...

    Have you cleaned your PC today?

    Yes, that is the best method, but it is really not recommended to do this after you have turned the cats into bookends. Is mean to the books.

    Yeah. Seems to me the best of all approaches is big screens and a head-mounted display that layers one image atop the other. So some info moves with your eyes when yiou turn your head and the background does not. Seems this woulds be the most convincing in tricking the brain over time.

    Yeah, latency really is the issue and when I look it up, there is a note on wiki that no one includes this spec in their stats, and that some monitors have latency as long as 68ms, which is several frames at 60 fps. So in general there is no way to tell what the latency is it seems. Only way...

    The problem with VR is you can't see your controls of any kind. I think VR is going to be better with games that you can manage with a gaming controller. USAF uses gaming controllers to fly drones, so it should be possible for flying a ship in SC, but I don't think that is the fashion. For...

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    When the Reliant originally went on sale, it had a bed and was called "long range". It still has the twin fuel tanks from this. When they delivered the Kore they nerfed it by taking the bed out. Since that time they reworked the Avengers, and given it is now is faster, more maneuverable, has...

    Does anyone here know if you can take a cheap, 4K video camera and hook it into a monitor like this above? https://www.ebay.com/itm/4K-HD-Wifi-Night-Vision-Digital-Camera-2160P-WiFi-DVR-Video-Camcorder-DV-US-Plug/233045948927?hash=item36429ef9ff:m:mFn1jeJ-EFDPJIMva1dbI_g:rk:1:pf:0 I'm actually...

    I have been eyeing the 49" super ultra-wide for some time. This is about the same price. Are there reasons to not choose this, like refresh rate? I saw it is rated 120 for motion (under specs) and I'm wondering if that means it has a 120 hz refresh rate. I'm not familiar with all the details...

    Piloting Question

    Well dizzy you will get based upon your rate of rotation, and that can get to a virtual pilot! but the actual forces that cause blackout are inertial, so you can't expereince them from flying online, and they're a linear function with the radius of the curvature, so the further you are from the...

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    Yeah, and you could mount the tractor off the Kore for plucking up stuff. I really like the Reliant design--just needs some sort of teeth to it.

    Piloting Question

    I'm not super interested in mining, but that would be a great way to control a tractor beam. I've no idea when that is going to be enabled, but there is a Tractor listed for the Kore, and there are half dozen other ships that would certainly benefit from one or two--Reclaimer, Vulture, BMM, all...

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    For visual scanning, yeah, there is just no way to beat that cockpit!, but for normal scouting, if you want to send a 2 man team, I think you'd choose the Space Turtle. The scan radius difference between S and M is going to be significant, methinks.

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    To get by in the multirole the Reliant is slated for, it needs to be able to run, hide or fight. Any one of the three will do, but it can't do any of these. No one wants a ship with no defensive capability, so CIG needs to do something with it. As is, the Avenger outperforms it in every way...

    Can't wait for 3.5! Arccorp and the new flight model!

    Yes, every ship with wings or control surfaces. CIG has always said atmospheric flight is going to reflect real world physics. Lift and control surfaces have no effects in vacuum so are useless in space, and actually are wasted mass that lowers performance in space. Ships that have wings will...

    I'm impressed with the Avenger Titan

    Given all the love for the Titan, it will be interesting to see what they do with the Reliant on the next patch. No one wants the Kore and IMHO, they really nerfed the ride when they took the bed out. It still has two small tanks and word is it is going to be long range once more. They were...

    Piloting Question

    Well this is all moot since as Toys said, there are no plans to permit split thrust. However just saying, birds like the Vanguard have open fronts to their engines because they are supposed to be able to generate reverse thrust. If you reverse the thrust on one main engine but not the other...

    Piloting Question

    While I get what you're saying, I think that is a different issue. The rotation rates--yaw, pitch and roll--are all a function of the maneuvering thrusters. All well and good. If however you could use the main engines for asymmetric thrust, forward and/or reverse; one supposes you could spin...

    DiscoLando is an enemy of our org

    No, no, no. Clearly the fashion of our age dictates we find a way to declare victimization and demand some sort of reparations. I personally feel I have been brutalized by the mere news that Disco does not support me personally and my lifestyle choices of yellowness and blackness, and it does...
