    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    I recommend using Quantum drive to close with your target in a bomber and again to escape after unloading. They aren't bomber escorts, in the sense of Retaliator or even A2.

    New tank incoming, Tumbril Storm

    Oh look, it's smaller, maybe, than a Maus.

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    Kind of begs the question of why build it at all. For stacking them up tight, and getting more capacity, I'm not sure how well it would work, from a practical standpoint. You need clearance for take off, landing and maintenence. Then there is the question of lifesupport on the Carrier. All...

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    No quantum drive makes it pretty useless. I mean, sure, in Arena Commander, especially on a race track, cool. But in the PU, even going from orbit to the surface of one of the moons in Stanton is tedious.

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    They seem to want to imply a Starfury. I'm not seeing a need, or even really a desire.

    Invictus week 2023 promo

    Too dark. The theory is good, the execution is poor. There is a reason the Blue Angels perform, and practise, during the day and not at night. :)

    Who needs an X-Wing in game

    Who needs a Lego X-Wing when NASA bought the rights to build real Starfuries.

    Xenothreat sale and CCU's

    In a pack worth more than $1000 is another way to get LTI on everything.

    Budget head-tracking setup for Star Citizen.

    I haven't played in a year.

    Budget head-tracking setup for Star Citizen.

    I've never gotten that to work worth a damn, and my camera has all the desirable specs they recommended. I guess I sit to far from the screen.

    Budget head-tracking setup for Star Citizen.

    I bought Track Hat a while back. Simple, effective, inexpensive.

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    While I did some coding in college, that's never been my profession. I ran QA for a software company for 9 years. Good memory though. :) There is a time and place to bring things into a project. This appears to introduce more problems that it solves, for something that has no actual need at...

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    Note, I'm not saying that insurance should cover things you can't either show valid receipts for, or can show was "legitimate salvage." I'm not even saying insurance should cover you while you're committing a crime (real world insurance doesn't in the US). I'm saying this is the wrong time for...

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    Now this they could complete before they take the current planned steps.

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    There are lots of other things they could be working on before this. Like real interactions, NPCs that aren't limited to a single "room," or adjusting the flight model for broken ships, or tier 1 anything. The game isn't stable enough for this. As for "always?" Nope, for the past 6 years it has...

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    You were supposed to be able to insure add on components, contents and even cargo. If I add parts to my car, like a new engine, or stereo, they get added to the policy. If my computer is stolen from my car, I'm covered. If I'm driving a U-Haul full of my furniture, it's covered. In the real...

    Insurance and “rare” Components

    I see this as one more change that isn't ready for prime time.

    The Return of the Rangers

    Poor writing is poor writing regardless of the reason. It was the most boring kind of formula and completely flat. Too much tell not enough show. No character development. It was just bad TV.

    BMM and Modularity

    I'm not seeing what CIG said as modules but as different things the ship can do in its standard configuration. For example what's the practical difference between a Black Market Bazaar and a normal Bazaar? The goods and the laws of the place you are setting up. Is it an interesting idea...

    Current ButFleet

    My thoughts were similar. I was thinking this fleet needs lots of crew and while Test is a good place to find crew, I still think there will be lots of time spent on recruiting and less time playing.
