    Another big youtuber Jayvee discovers Star Citizen

    Ha! good one! I'm guessing you haven't been at their website today, then? ha ha Not to be one of those "Debbie-downer" types, but, CIG always raves about Turbulent, and their websites, and how they bought the company to build up the planetary systems using CIG's tools, and based on my...

    Webb Space Telescope Takes Flight

    And the answer is, the real meat of the Webb isn't to produce stunning images in the visible spectrum, it is really to go hunting for more specific targets in the IR spectrum. Of course, they can manipulate the images they get to look pretty, but, that really isn't the purpose.

    Warbond CCU Question

    I'm confused, so I just did a check... If it is just a plain CCU, then wouldn't it just be the insurance for what the base ship was? When I go to buy back an actual ship pledge, it gives me all the details for what the ship's insurance is. Does that answer your question?

    Webb Space Telescope Takes Flight

    Have you tried "Wikipedia-ing" it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens the TL;DR is: All light can be bent by large objects/gravitational fields. "Lensing" only occurs when the light is bent in such a way that it then is refocused...these are usually discovered totally by...

    Webb Space Telescope Takes Flight

    You need to change your handle to "Debbie_Downer" from "Rear_Intruder" lol... Reading the press releases, the difference is that, because the Webb Telescope has specific IR instruments designed to detect these signals better, it can more rapidly and conclusively detect chemicals in spectra...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    That's very sad news. Also want to wish my condolences to Crash & his family. Anecdotally, I've known more friends/co-workers to have COVID in the last month than at any other time. I'm a nerd, and don't have many friends, and my friends probably aren't representative of the population at...

    The future of gaming

    Not just that, but paying over a full AAA to remove ... penalization for not paying more (over a AAA title)? What in the actual fuck? That is crazy...well, I shouldn't get judgmental. Clearly, at that point, one is addicted to the game, and the developers are exploiting all those cognitive...

    How to get a 2SCU cargo loot box in Star Citizen

    I've been doing a similar thing...if I leave a rifle in my Pisces and self-destruct, I then get a square box half the size of the one you got (yours was rectangular). That makes it easier to move around via tractor beam inside the bunker and collect & store the gear off the dead bodies. The...
