    Role comparison/practicality of the new Origin 100 series

    If like the Origin styling, you might be better served with a 300i. I know you are asking about the 100 series, but it is a major upgrade for a little cash.

    opinion, will the M2 Hercules be worth buying? i bought the upgrade but haven't applied it yet

    What do you want to do with the M2? Do you have a Tonk or Ballista? The advantage the 600i has over the Carrack is it is more soloable. Granted that is the only advantage it has, but for some it is a significant difference. The M2 has, roughly, the same cargo capacity as the Carrack, and...

    Is the Tonk going to be completely useless?

    Ground troops can have support from an Ursa, Hoplite, Valkyrie etc. Wild Weasel craft are specifically designed to deal with AAA. Such craft exist in Star Citizen. :)

    Is the Tonk going to be completely useless?

    We know the size, and it is bigger than a WWII Maus. We know that ground vehicles are much slower, and much less agile than an equivalent starship. There are many reasons real world tanks haven't, again, gotten to the size of the Maus, inability to build them isn't one of the reasons.

    Is the Tonk going to be completely useless?

    It is still too big and too slow to be a tank. Yes, you can't take and hold ground without ground forces, but that doesn't mean you need this as part of your MTOE.

    Is the Tonk going to be completely useless?

    Ground vehicles, maybe. The Tonk in particular? Not likely. It is too big. It is too slow. It can't be carried by the typical troop transport, or cargo transport.

    Vehicle Degredation

    There is no Oxygen in space to rust your ship. :) And rust on a ship is an environmental hazard.

    Vehicle Degredation

    When your vehicle starts to get worn out you trade it in, in the real world. Yet we wouldn't do that in Star Citizen?

    Server meshing discussion

    I was running QA for a 3D graphics company then. We were looking at physics, and getting our content into game engines back then. In 2012 Unity was free for development and had much better netcode than CryEngine. (No change there.) Cryengine was not cheap then, in fact they wouldn't even give...

    Server meshing discussion

    Both Unity and Unreal would have been much better choices than Cryengine/Lumberyard. Their netcode is significantly better and offer a better base for world building.

    Server meshing discussion

    Have you ever been in a crowded area of the Stanton system and have low frame rates, and people (and even NPC) rubberband? Server meshing should fix that. Need to properly fully crew a cap ship? We need a bigger server cap. Server Meshing should allow that. Making the game meet Chris...

    Star Citizen First Hot Fix of 2021 is in. Lets talk about 30k errors

    30k's clearly are not a bug but a feature. They are there so they can clear the servers.

    Need help with upgrading 7yo computer.

    With the system you described the only things worth keeping is the case and maybe the PSU for an upgrade. I would go so far, at this age, to replace the fans. Save your money, and use what you have until you can do it right.

    Talon / Shrike / Nomad

    Then my recommendation is to wait. Something that actually fits in your fleet, will eventually come along. :)
