    Ship Showdown 2952!

    You might still get to! Reasonable chance this ends up the final round, although I think Carrack v. C8X more likely, by no means guaranteed! This addition *could* possibly be enough for me to finally want to upgrade my Phoenix to a 600i, though I'm still holding out some hope that CIG will...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I voted Scorpius too, but I have and love both ships. The Redeemer is a great ship, but sort of like the Carrack, it's not really a very good ship to fly solo. You really NEED 1-2 others on it with you in order to realize its awesomeness. Scorpius on the other hand, while certainly better with...

    Gallant Burstfire mode

    That WOULD make sense in 'normal' conditions, if you didn't sometimes run into a bunker with 5 NPCs all on top/inside of each other, crammed into the 'space' of two people in a single elevator doorway. THAT'S when it's still nice to have full auto mode!

    See Star Citizen's biggest ships with the new Fleetviewer

    Yup, and this is the one that I found rather interesting, even though I always thought it wouldn't be feasible, maybe. . .

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    You know, I haven't flown the 315p in a LONG time. And while I'd never really consider it as a competitor to the Pisces, I've always enjoyed flying the 325a, and perhaps it's time I spent some aUEC to try toying around with the 315p again. Is it really *that* stealthy?

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    Hopefully the 400i does well. I don't think the Scorpius will show well because that ship is just so miserable to use currently (cycle gear 40 times to get all guns to fire, then lose one permanently, then lose the turret permanently, etc. . .) I really hope the Cutlass beats out the MSR in...

    Travel Times Outrageously Long - I Must Be Doing Something Wrong

    I've had a similar bug recently trying to QT to some sort of in-system POI, and I'm pretty sure what happens is the QT initiates an ORBITAL jump as if you were jumping to a SURFACE point on a planet, which is much slower. When this happens, I can usually power down to abort the jump, then I...

    Where do I point players?

    Discord?

    More Tobii

    As with any peripheral it takes a bit of setup and fiddling, but I DO quite love mine. I don't always use it, but it's worth mapping an on/off button to in order to be able to quickly switch it on during combat or docking/landing! And for MSFS, it's an absolute godsend. Clearly has my enorsement!

    I hate this game.... controllers help needed

    Bumping this because 3.17.2 patch somehow totally borked my input mappings, pp_resortdevices didn't work properly, and I got pissed enough I opened up a new bug report to try to get CIG to work on this. Please contribute here if you want to help...

    Tired of always remapping joysticks in SC!

    Please contribute to my bug report; I'm SO tired of dealing with this! https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-45982

    Webb Space Telescope Takes Flight

    Lol, yeah at a glance on a phone screen it looks decent, but a good res view on a computer monitor and the edges really give the game away!

    The coming NFT crash of 2022

    This is similar the concerning viewpoint that I take on things. People are quickly losing sight of the INTRINSIC value of things; both goods and activities that help meet basic needs. Back in the days of playing Oregon Trail, you started with more $ as the non-value-adding banker, but...

    Anyone else buy a GPU?!

    . . . And then you can spend anything leftover on a good HOTAS/HOSAS setup! :D

    Anyone else buy a GPU?!

    I agree 1440 makes for a pretty nice sweet spot, though in addition to the pixel height you also need to give consideration to the WIDTH, as you get more choices there! Obviously I subscribe to the 'wider is better' mentality, so my take is 4k be damned and the Samsung G9 is the best gaming...

    Anyone else buy a GPU?!

    EVGA queue worked for me, though I wasn't so early. Still, after being patient for 427 days, got the email about 6 months ago and nabbed my 3080 for MSRP. I feel like I did my part to #stopthescalp, so I'm very happy about that. I did really need it though, my monitor is 5120x1440, and I'd...

    Will there be steaming piles?

    ^This, and this is why I'm not terribly excited for AmTolkizon, because AmWoTazon proved that they can only do fantasy. . . meh. I mean it was *OK,* but it was FAR from great, and damnit I want more GREAT fantasy shows! Back to Magicians for like the 6th watching I guess!

    Webb Space Telescope Takes Flight

    Actually, I think the answer is 'yes,' and the deep field shot even helps show that. Einstein of course would tell us it's all relative, but here's a part of the shot that I'm pretty sure shows a far-but-not-gravitationally-lensed-galaxy: The lower orangish galaxy is clearly being lensed and...

    Razer (peripherals) speaks to my heart!

    Well, OK so the white letters are not backlit, but I've been using this keyboard now for >7 years of heavy gaming (without once ever needing to change the battery I might add!) and it's been just flawless. Granted I personally prefer the shorter 'clicky' keystrokes it has to the longer, more...
