I like the video, it's a good and pretty concise example of how to mine, and the commentary is clear. @Thraesh has a point about the speed to fly, but I'm not sure it's all that important unless you're going to actually come back to mine more. Also, on moons near Hurston is one thing...

Of course some carebear would want to report me for assault with a deadly cheese puff, but I so love that idea!!

I love Nerf. My oldest two kids still play it when they're together, and they're 34 and 35. They've made a few interesting mods.

I don't remember whether I heard it or read it. At any rate, I don't think they need to make changes like lowering atmosphere limits anyway. Truck stops in orbit makes a TON of sense, no pun intended, and you don't need to deal with the gravity well of planets so often.

I was not saying you should use 20 year old tech. I was saying, what you understand about USB has not significantly changed since you used it last - 20 years ago. Your own description of when you last used it.

if you're looking for nominations... I have a "few" more but I'd really like to see what other members suggest, especially new members.

Green does have it's uses... the "go" part of a stop light for instance. But I'm with @Montoya, that green, pared with white is disturbing on a few levels. I have 2 of those rovers somehow... the regularly colored ones... so PLEASE someone else win the darn thing.

I freefall sometimes, when I'm bored... I can't drink for about the next 4 or 5 months, so that's all I get for now. The trip down is not too bad, and in a prospector it's a chance to get some refueling done in the magic atmosphere.

They did say something to that effect, so we'll see how it goes. They could just leave it really. Hurston has earth like gravity so could have an atmosphere like that. It's just something you need to be aware of... it's going to take time to get out of the gravity well of a planet. I also...

Yep. Not to mention the distance you have to travel in Hurston's atmosphere. Bring a snack and a drink.

Yes, Taranite, Bexalite, Borase are the top 3 for me. Laranite can have big payouts but the bigger the payout the more risky it is. If you don't have good control of the mining laser, you can find yourself in trouble. I mine a lot of Bexalite, mostly because if I end up at Lorville I don't...

Sometimes you get lucky too. Last week, I landed on a node of Larinite that gave me almost 22K. There was another node about 400 yards away almost as good, but my capacity was full. I landed, and while I was turning it in, crash. lovely.

Then, I would say that you need a new phone :) I'm only half joking.

I usually use Kindle on a tablet or cell phone, and other formats too not always Kindle.

I forget everything, all the time. My wife knew that about me before we got married though, so she scheduled the wedding for Christmas day. It was brilliant. Now I have 2 things to forget. OH crap, I forgot. One of the kids was born Dec 24th.

There is no rush to buy a ship now. In a few months CIG will have another ship that fills the same hole anyway, so why rush?

Then again... SC is full of kitsch, and you don't have to look far for it. Those subways get me every time I see them. A subway? 900 years from now? On rails? I keep thinking I'm going to see a Texas Instruments calculator next.

I nominate Old Man's War by John Scalzi But I would vote for any of the stories nominated so far. They're all good stories.

20 years... USB 1.1, so you're good. Speed changed a lot (in an upward direction), and device support is a lot better. Just be aware, some of the 20-somethings in SC have brutal reaction times in combat. They have no strategy, and their tactics are often the same fight to fight, but man, they...

... relics?... periodic releases? ... Listen, I'm going to duck out of the way next time I see you walking around, OK?
