Richard, we’ve had this conversation before about your blanket statements concerning what you are sure does not exist, so I’ll just remind—it is logically impossible to show evidence toward a negative proposition. You can have no evidence for your position and there isn’t anyone who thinks you...

I actually liked the movie and the acting. The dialog is a little flat at times but it’s still a fun film.

I think the Skipper Missile was created by Isaac Asimov as part of his Berserker series of short stories. If Chris were to do this he’d need to invent a way to defeat it too. No easy task.

It’s working! https://www.youtube.com/live/55cOI2XERbw?si=N5fVj36HQWTxEjvD

That is very kind. One last word about stealth since Sky asked. Players have been complaining for years that stealth is broken in game and you should ignore it when choosing components. This has never been true. Rather, the game works just how real stealth tech works. It does not provide...

Good to see you’re still with us, GP. How’s the neighborhood?

Yes, stealth really is only had with weapons off or if you load all ballistics and leave shields off. Shields and energy weapons both have high EM. Engines, reactors and systems put out high IR. IR is harder to reduce, which is why you have a stealth switch that dumps about 25% IR for 10% higher...

I’m right there with Talon. Sneaky Pete moves are what war is about. I agree, your idea bears serious investigation. I have had several friends ask how I would fit out the Retaliator. I suppose that’s worth mention despite how much components will change. I would personally swap all 10...

Is the STV faster than the Tally? I would be surprised if that were true.

It’s not just the fuel prices have gone up. The Q speeds have gone down and travel time has gone up. View: https://youtu.be/JaT88wsroKs?si=MSLPCdEkReR3xgur

I’ve wanted to revisit this ship since she had her SCM speed increased. It was always the Retaliator’s dreadful combat speed that put me off her. I can clearly recall from my first days in the game, falling in love with what reminded me of the B1 bomber, or “Bone”, which she is clearly modeled...

I have three complaints. First, they hung the chairs on the bridge from above, and thereby robbed the crew of an upward view. It’s not just struts, it’s the whole ceiling. From the outside the ship appears has a great view, and it does not. Disappointing. All for the sake of very cool looking...

Class 5 now. 179mph sustained, gusting at 190. If there were a class 6 hurricane, this would qualify. Head North dude, before the roads are full.

Since I mentioned that SW Theory was playing Outlaws and had no complaints, I think I should note how that turned out. He played all the way through and then made a lengthy explanation of why it is maybe the worst game he has ever played. So there’s that.

* Nomad specifically called out active pinging and Radar Cross Section (RCS). The calculator is not much help here and refuses to give automated calculations because RCS changes with ship orientation. That said, if you manually input an RCS figure the calculator will use it. It’s a linear...

While it is all theory crafting, some of the theory is calculated by actual detection distance calculator. The numbers come from spviewer, not me. In fact, it is obviously using a very different equation for SCM than what was given us years ago. I’d love to know what the equation is and where it...

I’ve been running numbers in both calculators, trying to determine what is the best way to fight and fight with the Polaris and made some interesting finds I want to share. A Polaris, hunting another Polaris is a good measure in the calculators since the Polaris figures are more reliable than...

Not that I know of. Certain fan site like erkul and StarJump get regular access to some level of code info. I’m not sure if it is special access or if CIG publishes it. In any event, it includes some in-house discussion at CIG, so CIG is intentionally leaking info, through outlets that...
