    New Display

    So if I were to buy a new desktop with something like a single 1080i, that would run SC and provide a wider view with this than a single, normal sized screen? Do you actually see more with your three monitors or just have a prettier view?

    I thought the real reason to have an oversized form factor was to put secondary feeds on the sides. So one could open windows there, etc? Marc is the one to know. He is already running three screens.

    Is this the Hull-C? Looks too big.

    I think that is the E. The C and D have chin guns.

    Does anyone plan on flying 'uncoupled'?

    I am not yet a pilot, but if the coupling is what it sounds like, I am sure there will be lots of opportunities to fly uncoupled. For instance, you can apparently fly backwards uncoupled. If you are using larger guns with greater range than your opponent, and want to maximize the amount of...

    Weapon group / trigger behaviour

    It seems horrifically late to me to still see troubles like these. Any chance they'll be fixed in 3.0?

    2.6.2 weapons

    Ah. I hadn't seen the stuff at far right. Interesting the handgun does so much compared to the others. They seem to be encouraging lighter armor and weapons for higher agility. Just seems wrong to bring a handgun to a real fight though.

    Yeah, what Owl said. This is totally backward from the 2.6 chart, but this is what the 2,6,2 chart says. I also just noted that the 2.6.2 weapons figures are all completely different from the CIG DPC calculator, so I have to figure the googledoc is the most current and correct. Needs its own...

    Help Blind Owl With his Addiction

    Oh, that's GOTTA be a thing! You own a Harbinger, don't you? You GOTTA christen it "The Attack Moose"! This so we all know, when we call for the dread Attack Moose, what death then comes!

    Theorycrafting: Vanguard VS Banu Defender

    4XS3 plus missiles reminds of the Sabre's offering and no one would think that flimsy, but I have to agree--the S5 on the Vanguard nose is something special, whether 2XS3 on gimbal, or 2XS4 fixed, or 1XS5 fixed, there is nothing else like it. If the BD really is super-maneuverable, and tanky...

    New computer build for SC

    I did not know that but I don't upgrade but every 7-10 years since I don't game much. What is special about buying in November?

    New computer build for SC

    I get that, but that is the argument people have used from the days of the 8086 and 8088 processors, to not buy the latest processor. Hell, folks used that argument to stay with CPM before MS DOS came out. Sometimes you just wanna blow huge chunks on too much 'puter.

    New computer build for SC

    I am curious if there is anyone here who understands the cores issues as would relate to Software Defined Radio and Cognitive Radio. One can look at what is availalbe in SDR COTS items, but in designing next generation power systems capabillities for things like radar and encrypted UHF...

    Advice on building a starter fleet

    The Lancer carries almost double the cargo of the Cutty, and almost 4X as much in the Max version. It is important to note that if you are doing short hauls in safe space, you really do want the largest freighter you can buy since that will generate your profits. The Hull series should be the...

    CIG has said in the past that the larger the missile the slower it is and the easier to evade, but the harder to fool with counter measures. So indeed you did exactly what they suggest against the larger missiles and torps, continue flying like a rabid weasel. My question as well. I would love...

    Theorycrafting: Vanguard VS Banu Defender

    And if you haven't fl;own the main gun on swivel you may like to do that. Even though she rotates slower than short range fighters, the swivel does not. The best way though to cope with the slower rotation seems to be to keep distance.

    Theorycrafting: Vanguard VS Banu Defender

    There is a lot we don't know about weapons in general, even those we use every day. It is a trivial thing to mount an M7A laser on the nose of any Vanguard and see if you can hit stuff at 7km. If you don't have enough control to hit an opponent at that range, there is very little point in...

    New computer build for SC

    We should have a single thread stickied to the top where you guys can all give advice. I am hoping to build a PC for the first time in a decade. I currently use a Mac, and don't game; but intend to in another couple seasons. I am not planning to use the machine for much other than SC. One of...
