    TONKS!! - Tumbril Nova heavy tonk

    Because Tonk. I suspect that the Tonk will have a very buff combo of shield and armor and its gun will hit hard enough to give ships smaller than a Carrack/Polaris reason to avoid it, and ships simply can't take/hold ground, the Tonk is necessary for large scale combat whether between Org's or...

    Last night 3.0 play through was AWESOME

    When chat does not appear, I hit F12, and then hit Enter and type something and hit Enter again, then it is up - has worked for me every time that Chat did not appear. Might work for you. 'Gimp

    I need to spend another $10,000

    First. Yes, to your thought of additional capitals. Since the Idris is the only known ship to transport Tonk's we will need many, and they will need Hammerheads' and Polarii in their battle groups - and it will let us dominate systems at a time. Also, congrats on being in a place to do so. 'Gimp

    Dual Sticks - My God why didn't I do this before

    Yes, I really like it. Since I fly planes IRL, I have pitch and roll on the right stick like my plane, twist on the right for yaw, weapon group 1 and 2 on the trigger and a button, decouple on a button. On the left stick, I have fwd/aft and l/r strafe on the stick, twist left to strafe up...

    Has anyone driven a rover to the Jav husk on Daymar?

    Ooh, ooh, or a Biker Gang of Dragon Fly's and Noxii. 'Gimp

    Has anyone driven a rover to the Jav husk on Daymar?

    Just curious how long it would take, but it sounds like it might actually be fun - what is the nearest outpost that you can spawn a rover at? That would be epic for a multi-crew roadtrip. 'Gimp

    finally managed to land on a planet...

    TEST Squadron represent!! Awesome job - could you walk around OK inside or were you walking on the walls instead of the floor? I am curious for SCIENCE! 'Gimp

    Dual Sticks - My God why didn't I do this before

    So one of the issues I have had with respect to immersion for SC has been the switching between mouse and keyboard and my T16000.M stick - as a pilot IRL it just never felt right. So I still have the old Logitech X30 I used for my flight sim days but I had been using my Saitek Rudder Pedals for...

    Well, I've reached "Fuck It".

    Go for shorter simpler hauls on the same moon, far lower risk and same or better returns. 'Gimp

    Comments from Chris Roberts.

    FWIW, Afterburner shows my FX6300's 6 cores running ~50-75% with a very even split where my GPU is 90-100% most of the time. I see the biggest lags when mem usage gets close to the 20GB I have installed OR when pings exceed 150-200ms. 'Gimp

    SpacePenguin Love

    I'd rough it at about 20% larger in each dimension which is a substantial increase overall - it really shows that as CIG is working to make sensible or 'believable' systems they are revisiting the ship designs where originally they were mostly aesthetic designs they are now stuffing the systems...

    Port Olisar Point Defense Guns

    So I noticed the PDS guns at Port Oli did not make the transition from PTU to PU but I just want to say, it was epic watching them in the PTU. 'Gimp

    VFG Industrial Hangar gone in 3.0 live!

    I noticed that too. I also noticed that the Connie turrets appear to be retracted now when not in use - much cleaner look. 'Gimp

    My rig, AMD FX 6300, 6 core, 3.5 gHz, now 20GB DDR3, AMD R7 360 2GB (slight OC using Afterburner) was getting a solid 10-15 FPS this afternoon when I was making my trading runs to earns me some monies. I keep thinking about a new graphics card but if I can hit this with currently unoptimized...

    VFG Industrial Hangar gone in 3.0 live!

    Betting they are opening it back up, to when it could house a Connie with the extended areas - at least that is what I am hoping it is. My other hangars show up just fine. 'Gimp

    SUGGESTION - If you find a profitable trade run inform fellow TESTies

    OK, so the key for turning some quick coin is intraplanetary shipping - I turned 500 aUEC into 35,000 just by going back and forth between Hickes Research and Tram & Myers Mining on Cellin. Medical Supplies from Hickes to to the mining site, and Astatine Gas from Mining Site to Research. Threw...

    Figured out why Levski lags so much.....and it's glorious

    So I was at Lagski the other day, and it dropped down to Ray Harryhausen FPS and I was trying to get out of the elevator at customs after landing my ship, and I somehow fell through the door crack at the elevator and I saw the attached screengrabs - if this level of detail exists behind and...
