    Using Joystick with Gimbal Weapons

    So maybe I should keep the buccaneer a little while longer, to see what comes out of the wash?

    What do you look for in SC spaceships these days?

    That's an interesting comparison. It's a dang good thing that we have 900+ years of ship building experience. But why in hell does the Freelancer have that exit door in the crew quarters?

    Using Joystick with Gimbal Weapons

    Just to maybe make you feel better, I have it on good authority that you're probably not the worst shooter in TEST. Not by a long shot - no pun intended.

    Advice on new pc build

    Unless you're going to push the envelope, there's no reason to switch from Intel, but AMD would also be ok. Even at the high end, it's questionable to switch, unless you plan on getting a new PC every 3 or 4 months. At the high end, obsolescence is a fact of life. If you're farther back on...

    When your a trader ...... and.......

    Last patch, I stopped going to R&R's altogether, because the defencive guns were always shooting when I tried to leave. They weren't targeting me specifically but they shot me enough. That hasn't happened in this patch. But I have issues with game crashes at inopportune times - usually when I...

    I live in Texas, inside a city, so I KNOW there's something weird in the water. It tastes a lot like laundry bleach. No side effects though, except there's a weird urge to vote Republican in the next general election. The weird part is, I'm not allowed to vote here... I'm Canadian. Canadians...

    Virpil restock and Constellation Alpha pre-order and Sunlight Dynamics 6DOF stick

    You're right, HOTAS and HOSAS are not going away. But there is a little confusion - HOTAS is the same as a joystick, but it has built in throttle controls or it's not HOTAS. That's all it gives you vs something with other initials. I don't like HOSAS personally, but I do like to have something...

    When your a trader ...... and.......

    Been there! And I've been left with 100 aUEC, never just 1 but that was just luck because I was also carrying way too much cargo for my cash reserves. I try to keep it less than 50% for a run. Problem is sometimes I get bold. It limits your returns, but it also limits the damage if things...

    I haven't had lunch yet... It's become very noticable!

    Ship for dangerous traderoutes

    My youngest daughter, and my mother in law both know how to make them. They've altered the recipe and kind of combined it with Kolache. They made one that was almost 2 feet wide, that sold for $300 at an FFA show a few years ago. I was just a taste tester... I got fat... I do know how to...

    Berlinner.... it's an incredible donut that they forgot to bite out the hole, filled with some really yummy filling, topped with scads of icing sugar. At one time, they had them at Timmies. I dunno what timmies sells now though.

    Deer and elk aren't my favorites though I'll eat them. My two oldest kids like that. But I'll love bison or moose. That's good meat right there, better than cow.

    Ship for dangerous traderoutes

    Navigate: I can do that... You have options. You can say things like, "Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning" when the helmsman wants to know how to get there, that kind of thing. It's very important that you stay that explicit about the route, or have magic fairy dust in your...

    Ship for dangerous traderoutes

    I'm waiting for the Polaris too, but I'm not likely to buy it... just want to be someone's navigator on one, because I never get lost. Sniff... sniff.. does anyone else smell something burning?

    What do you look for in SC spaceships these days?

    Yeah but I really am a Canadian. I don't have enough hate in me, just a lot of sorry (apparently, because I keep hearing it coming out of my mouth), and some meds that keep me from enjoying things that I really like... like beer, and I'd rather eat chicken than steak for some ridiculous reason.

    Ship for dangerous traderoutes

    Hmmmm. I'm thinking of following in your footprints here. It depends what comes out during the sale, but I can also buy the package. It has two ships I would like, the rest would just become upgrade fodder (I already have them)
