    TEST Spreadsheet Squadron Interest Thread

    I'm an analytical chemist who has recently been shoehorned into data compiling and analysis. If there was a way I could put my Excel skills to use for fun, it might lessen the drudgery when I do it at work. Count me in.

    Instancing with 50-100 players is out, now 1000 players?

    Right now it seems like "Own a Bengal!" is the big territorial conflict driver. While I like it on principle, and the idea of a MacGuffin that can actually be used to defend itself earns many +1s from me, I'm concerned for lategame stagnation of Bengal fights. The RSI Forums don't really have a...

    No Man's Sky day 1 Update 1.03

    I guess this is what I missed reading. I was imagining more along the lines of a "Space Engineers but Bigger" than "Skyrim In Space" based on what I was seeing in the trailers. All the things he mentioned as Not-NMS - multiplayer pvp, building supermassive trade vessels, city/civilization...

    Ohai thar

    I have Discord the app set up at home. My job has a lot of downtime while runs are processing, so I was contemplating using the browser version while at work. (I ended up setting it up after all.) The nineties had the best consoles... SNES/N64, Sega Genesis/Dreamcast, PS1/PS2... thankfully all...

    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    Of course not. The Adeptus Mechanicus dictates a BAC greater than 0.08 before attempting activation of an Aurora unit. To do otherwise has been deemed heretical. His Majesty's Barfing Barge "Purgatory" simply exists for those who have reached a higher state of ethanolightenment and require...

    But... bu-- how? How?! They're on clear other sides of the planet! I'd ask if she even knew what a map was, but there's one on every smartphone!

    Ohai thar

    I am honored! We have been, and hopefully will again! I'm honestly considering learning how to Discord@browser at this point. I've never had an Atari, but my family did get a few-years-old SNES in the mid-nineties that usurped my mother's archaeotech Commodore 64. I think I still have them...

    Instancing with 50-100 players is out, now 1000 players?

    Oh jeez. I wonder if SC is properly prepared/ing for EVE-style capital battles. B-R5RB had 2.7k in system at max, Asakai had roughly that by my estimate, and 6VDT-H had four thousand players simultaneously in system - and let's be honest with ourselves, EVE is a lot less classically-fun than a...

    No Man's Sky day 1 Update 1.03

    EDIT: Is it truly random? I can imagine that giving some people an inadvertent advantage if they randomly spawn (read: savescum) on a planet closer to the Core. Is it just "randomly spawning" in a set area maybe, or just along the Outer Ring? That would be a dealbreaker for me. It might...

    Why are ships so hard? (this may be a shitpost)

    I actually knew that part! The dual-vernacular-meanings of the name was part of why I picked it. I just thought Vomitorium sounded a little... crass? For a space hospital. I was also contemplating "Purgatory" for similar reasons. 'The place where sins are cleansed by fire,' 'I hate waiting for...

    I am so glad I just googled GenCon. Now I have a whole year to prepare! That looks fantastic and I'm definitely going next year.

    Warhammer 40k

    Aw damn, I saw a WH40K Tabletop thread and thought you meant one of the pen-and-paper RPGs like Rogue Trader. Now I'm sad.

    No Man's Sky day 1 Update 1.03

    Oof... that would be a dealbreaker for me too. How so, is it just "everyone starts in a random spot" or is there instancing to deal with?

    I dunno if this thread is still going strong, but I gots questions! A buddy of mine is going off to university and his parents have gifted him $700 to build a PC with. He wants to play Star Citizen primarily, though other titles (mainly AAA games) may catch his fancy as time goes on. His...

    The PS4 version goes live at roughly 9PM EST this evening for US-based PS4s, according to the stupid countdown website. Does anyone have the console version?
