    Anyone intrested in a Test MidWest get together?

    Not much for costuming & painfully socially awkward in new environments, but I'm possibly taking my family down to Kansas City around that time, so who knows. Maybe we can make a brief detour. CIG needs to do a show in KC, MO. Lots of stuff there and easily accessible. We do the MakerFaire...

    Piracy [In-Game Occupation] Let's raise the Black Flag! (TEST Piracy)

    So piracy in mind, would it be most wise to have at least TWO combat ships? One for active, and one for insurance "cooldown"? I mean it just seems to make sense. On that note, what are some suggestions? Assuming the current state, how about two gladiators? Spam missiles, and suicide /...

    Fired for having a Personal Life

    Appreciate the perspective, and thanks for serving! (squid...) JK I was a Coastie, so I can say that :p Well, back in "my" day, that is; who knows anymore... But seriously, thank you! :)

    Fired for having a Personal Life

    I was curious about an international opinion, as it relates to people being fired. Here in Murica, there is occasionally a situation where someone in a public-facing position (such as teachers, principals, political figures) are basically fired or re-assigned elsewhere in an organization for...

    My god, what have I done?

    Fortunately I'm not all about 4k gaming, etc, so not super expensive. I recycle many components as I can such as HDD, PSU, case, etc, so it is hard to say for sure. For example, a good PSU and case will last you 2-3 "waves" of upgrading; that's about 200-300 saved. Operating systems, too, if...

    Piracy [In-Game Occupation] Let's raise the Black Flag! (TEST Piracy)

    Which color is that? Pink? You're a pink, right? edit: fix broken link edit2: oh, man, reading a bit about schadenfreude, and it seems more like a disability than anything. Not sure if joking about it was appropriate, so, ... I'm sorry?

    Piracy [In-Game Occupation] Let's raise the Black Flag! (TEST Piracy)

    HEY! "I'M" a carebear! ;) I'm trying the "if you can't beat them, join them" approach. Wanting to give piracy a try before I completely write it off. Walk a day in another person's shoes... Frankly, I have a fair bit of optimism, here. Kind of looking forward to new experiences. Who knows? :)

    Staffing with NPCs

    haha, yeah, just a matter of time until some prude flags it & I have to change it. Good for a laugh, though...

    My god, what have I done?

    Just remember kids: the average interest CC is 15% which calculates to at least $60 per month just to carry a balance of $5000 for the War Pack (has Idris)! I don't know about y'all but I can certainly think of better ways to spend $60 per month ;)

    I guess Google Fiber must be getting close to my neighborhood

    I wouldn't worry about it. Given any technology, shit is slow to start, but after a bit of momentum, it seems to happen overnight. Look at cell phones; back in the late 80's & early 90s, seemed like only the rich had them (remember car phones and head cancer scares? *HA*). A short time...

    I guess Google Fiber must be getting close to my neighborhood

    You know that reminds me of the time I got a 15% raise to "get caught up with the competition". I appreciate the extra money, but goddamn how much am I being screwed, and what the fuck made them realize that I'm so underpaid?! Or worse, what changed so that they decided I might actually find...

    I guess Google Fiber must be getting close to my neighborhood

    Sooo... Net Neutrality for the win, then? Maybe...? At any rate, 'tis nice when the playing field is level. Fucking ISP oligopolies.

    Staffing with NPCs

    I do agree on this point. Multi-crew ships should be the exception to the rule up to the minimum required to keep the ship operating normally as long as wages are paid and current. With the minimum, there is still a motivation to invite more players to help out, but the captain mitigates risk...

    Staffing with NPCs

    Speculation: I'm sitting in my Hull-X or Cat. Buy a couple dozen auroras with cheapest pilots possible. Send them to attack a Hull E. Player is in core system, so they don't get an escort, thinking the police will protect them. Order auroras to attack, and focus fire on Hull-E. I am way...

    My god, what have I done?

    For me that'd be the dangers of having credit cards XD Fortunately I'm pretty much set, but with the recent devchat mentioning NPC crews, it kind of challenges my expecations for gameplay. Hopefully they were talkng out of their ass; I don't want to think that I have to play Star Citizen with...

    Bounty Hunting InterGalactic Super Troopers

    But seriously, I LOVE this idea; Super Troopers is definitely in my top ten faves. Not very good at combat, but I can patch you guys and gals up after fighting the good fight. Disclaimer: I also associate with our more... "unorthodox" TEST associates, so consider yourselves aware. My...
