Ooooo. . .Sneaky Owl. . .cool beans. God bless and keep you safe, brother!

Looks like Kennedy Space Center is going to take the worst hit with the North side of the eye wall pushing the largest storm surge and highest winds down the throats of the NASA folks. For the first time I am glad to no longer have a lab there. Never did get that thing open. I do however feel...

This is really bad. I have yet to see a track that shows it blow North and east back out to sea. Somoene is going to get dumped upon mightily.

I'm not sure exactly what CIG is doing, but I don't ever want to give an employee just one thing to do. Any complex task has choke points, bottle necks, places on the critical path outside the control of the person on the task. "Oh, I need Beasley to check the shading because. . ." or...

There isn't more time to work, but there is more time to think. Wise managers know that their best people work when they're not at work. They think about their jobs at home at dinner, when sitting in a bar or while choking on a cigar. That time--unfunded, private, creative time, is some of...

The POLARIS, because we likes to eat all the lesser birds. --Fast for a ship its size. In Quantum or out, it is quick to the point of the action. --Powerful. . .though methinks they need to upgrade those guns since yet again they are putting bigger stuff on smaller ships. There was no...

C'mon, man. It's been five minutes.

I doubt it is "most". Soldiers are not issued second weapons past a knife and many armies no longer issue those. Certainly soldiers pick stuff up, and they're not supposed to, but if they're the one carrying it and they're not slowing down the team, I suppose it is up to them. Point is...

Personally I think there is wisdom in this approach, since it allows the testers more time and every person in the process is available to fix bugs and polish stuff. I think it is certainly harder than only having one thing to do, but I always plan employees work schedules such that if one task...

The best Close Air Support craft are not fast. They are tanky and have overwhelming firepower sufficient to destroy hard targets like tanks. Just as in SW Combine, many ships in SC are of a class sufficiently larger than vehicles that they will overwhelm the vehicles. However, to be...

I think real bombs will be cheaper.

Looks to me like the Demeco is all I need, but gimme 6-7 mags. There are still a lot of players carrying more than a single weapon. Just a reminder, that is not optimal for the same reasons soldiers don't carry "backup" weapons. You have enough to carry and unless you have need of a special...

Looks like they're currently predicting cat 4 with 140 mph sustained winds. Apart from the flooding with generally does most of the damage; this will tear many buildings down. Lets pray people leave early, since there is only one way to get out of the pan handle, and if everyone waits until...

I recall that CIG committed some years ago to sensor buoys, and there was the question whether they could be stealth or not. I have to wonder whether the Nautilus can deploy them as well. I suspect they'd be smaller than S5 mines, and deployable by much smaller ships; but it would be cool if...

I should also have noted that inside the martial roles, I most often look for speed and stealth. This game appears it takes the entire stealth dynamic very seriously and lifelike. Almost every ship I see I ask myself what can be done to trick it out for stealth play.

To drink, to kill things and to take their treasure. To grind our enemies into the dust and hear the lamentations of their women. To shoot pool on the deck of a starship. To hope, to chance, to ponder. . .why indeed do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

It's time to rest from your labors. You have a three day weekend and your SC group has 12 players planning to be around almost all the hours coming. Each has several NPCs, so you could actually field about 50 combined. Your goal as a group is to go out into uncharted space and seek to find...

I really want almost all my playtime on one ship. I’ll never have the time I want to do all the things I’d like to in SC, so I look for broad utility in the martial space. Right now that means the Polaris. Design also turns my head and the Carrack was a close runner until they took the...

I love everything about this ship and the new gameplay it’s intended to introduce. I can see reasons for a fleet to own many, and I’m especially interested in just how quiet it can run. I can envision flying half dozen into Vanduul space to lay traps a day in advance of an assault. There’s just...

Looks like a Hero Class Far Trader, which would make both an excellent freighter and a mine layer.
