    Industry Mining safety strategy

    Yeah, I call it the glass ass of a prospector. Sneeze, BOOM.... ... (skip a few, it's a long wait) ... Hospital.

    Best Stealth Transport

    Yes, I totally agree... my Sentinel remains in buy backs where it will likely stay. heh, my Saber is there too, but for a different problem and I might buy it back.

    Thinking of getting a Merchantman

    So does an MSR btw... people often forget that's what that cargo space that's hard to get to is all about. Cough. I mean sniff, sniff... "That's good shit, man."

    Industry Mining safety strategy

    Story you might enjoy. My father was a fighter pilot for half his working career. One of his favorite fighters to fly was the F-86 Saber (a fighter with a few design issues). They had an approach to some of the WWII European runways that involved a sharp right hand turn. pilots sometimes...

    Industry Mining safety strategy

    This is great advice @marcsand2. I usually do (most) these things, including the "barrel role" - except I think that running up to an OM point is a bit of a mistake in a prospector, if you have been surprised. Thing is once you've been found, they can approach you and get in firing range...

    Industry Mining safety strategy

    I'm slowly working out some fleet make up we can use when mining gets serious, like using a Prospector and MOLE in support of an Orion, and what other protection the fleet needs etc: but things about the Orion are theorycrafting at the moment. Meanwhile, we have the MOLE and Prospector to...

    Speed? In an SC ship?

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I'm mildly surprised. I voted for the Pisces, but I also have an MSR... and a Carrack, and don't like the skins they hand out after the winner is decided. Consequently ...woot... oh ... SSSS (that's the sound of my tire deflating.

    Not far from $500 million in funding UPDATE - 500 Mil hit

    What happened to the $500 mill is called quantum tunneling. There one minute, gone the next. Happens to my beer all the time.

    Thinking of getting a Merchantman

    Yes. Is there a downside there I don't see?

    Ah... I knew there was something I forgot. It's because I was drinking...

    Been a while, I hope everyone is well :)

    Welcome back! I don't think I've seen you since January or something. Some recent updates that I can remember: More players in an instance. 110 now. Still a far cry from where it needs to be, but progress is progress. I'm not going to say fewer bugs, but it's a little clearer where...

    Thinking of getting a Merchantman

    Why disparage people who want to do something different from you? I don't see why someone would only want to do combat in a game that has so much more to offer. It seems to limit their options, but that's their choice.

    Thinking of getting a Merchantman

    and very expensive last time I looked. If you can afford one, it's certainly an interesting ship, but expensive, and right now it's only sold in a game package that is available to those who are members of the concierge club. Totally my opinion: But it depends what you want to do in the...

    Thinking of getting a Merchantman

    That sounds like you want a way to blame someone else if you buy a BMM, and it doesn't suit you. You need your own reasons, or it might not make you happy, and your money is going to stay spent.

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    That is not why any ship wins or loses, and it also doesn't really reflect why people buy any particular ship - as you can see in the voting.

    Not far from $500 million in funding UPDATE - 500 Mil hit

    You get half marks for knowing about Schrodinger's thought experiment, but that isn't what he was trying to show. It was a critique and illustration of a problem in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, that even some physicists still get wrong.

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    Yeah, it hit 700 for the MSR and 358 for the RAFT when I voted. I have both but voted MSR because it is more useful to me - right now. ... sorry...

    Queen Elizabeth II passes

    lol, that could be literally anywhere in the east of the Mississippi, Lake Superior in North America, right down to the one way streets. The only thing that tells me it's definitely somewhere in the UK is the road signs in the second pic. Do those v shaped street markers mean you have to to...
