    P2W and the True Experience?

    I want to be able to do that, as well as play with friends when we can arrange to get together. Playing alone has no challenge and always ends with boredom. So I would not choose a Cutty nor Avenger for the long term. I need something with more room and especially a pool table. Carrack would...

    I'm back

    Welcome back! One thing that appears new and interesting is the ability to group in large numbers. I haven't seen the vids yet, but rumors are there are groups of up to 50 players all working together. Is a new thing I think. Network around and see what it's like. I'd love to hear a report.

    TEST RoE Policy... who needs one?

    I think the criminal rating scale will take care of all this. When most people see what the consequences of criminal status are, they'll find reasons to play nice.

    New 890 Jump Images. What are your thoughts?

    Yeah, and I totally get that. I am still excited about the 600i, in as much as it has that modular space. If there are pipes enough for a full electronic warfare suite I could be game. Still, it will need to have huge advantages over the Polaris to win me over, like blazing fast speeds the...

    New 890 Jump Images. What are your thoughts?

    Beautiful, but I have an efficiency bug that wants all the space aboard ship to justify itself. I don't want a ship that makes itself a bigger target than it needs to be. One of the reasons I'm not very fond of the Hammerhead is the twin halways. Using space like that makes the bird...

    More SSD questions

    apparently it is its own thing, and is both faster and harder to break than software encryption. Kingston is one of that tribe. https://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/consumer/suv500

    More SSD questions

    I need to add a computer before this 10 year-old iMac dies. I expect to be moving soon, and would like to be able to carry my computer back and forth from work, so dropping an 11" Macbook Air into a docking station with large monitors, wireless keyboard and mouse at both home and work makes...

    Okay so there are three form factors of SSD? https://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/business/suv500?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=UV500

    [Better video] How is this P2W?

    Okay so I'll bite. What are you talking about here, something like cyber-prostitution? What sort of goods come from a game world to the real world? Fascinating take, BTW. I would never have thought WoW the first large scale MMO, so I checked out the numbers for Everquest and WoW and indeed...

    Does anyone here know specifically about hardware encrypted SSDs?

    interesting take on VR

    I don't honestly see how VR would work with SC, as there are just too many controls one needs access to, but you would all know better than me, so thoughts invited...

    More SSD questions

    Does anyone here know if there is a single format/size that SSDs fit? Is it for instance possible to put a large, encrypted SSD into a MacBook Air? If you did, is there a way to image the old SSD onto the new one so you don't lose your operating system, etc?

    Luke is not dead

    Are the modeling tools used for the ships unique to SC, or are they using commercially available CAD software or some such?

    [Better video] How is this P2W?

    The only way that I can see this could hurt the game is if it presented a true market economy. If that were true and someone used their financial influence to raise or lower the value of money or items, they could hurt others. Given something very different, where we only expect relatively...

    Luke is not dead

    That's true, but you know Lucas did spend a bundle hoping to create a live action SW TV series, and found he just couldn't. I recall reading an interview with him in 2006 in Wired magazine where he was talking about staffing the new ranch that had been The Presidio. He bought the place on...

    the best smuggler

    If it had the pipes to fit a scan package in the cargo space, that would be a fascinating option for tenders. Looks like you might fit three into the Polaris bay.

    the best smuggler

    For kicks I pulled up specs on 7 birds to see what would be the best high value cargo, small smuggling ship, and I am completely surprised. I looked at the Aurora CL, Mustang Alpha, F7C Hornet, Avenger Titan, Reliant Tana, 135C and 325i. Values I graded in this order: 1) stealth, 2) cargo...

    Luke is not dead

    Yeah well, I think no matter what anyone writes you're going to complain. I am more concerned with addressing the reasonable complaints concerning the destruction of the character Luke Skywalker by portraying him as a cynic instead of a hero. If you're emotionally upset over how one might...

    Luke is not dead

    I'm not following. Which characters are those? All the SW movies, books, and TV series are based upon impossible physics, just like most space opera. As I said, they did the opposite for a specific purpose. Just as Lucas hid the big reveal from Hammill when they filmed ESB, they had reasons...

    Constellation Class...

    Yeah well, that was and still is the most common complaint: Lucas wrote episode 1 for kids, ostensibly because he wanted to add a new generation of SW lovers. while that does seem to have worked, he did offend his base by not writing for them. Despite there is plenty of great stuff in episode...
