That’s pretty awful. An ArcLite pistol is 1100 so it won’t fit on an X1. Has anyone checked to see if things like a railgun on your back interfere with the canopy slide?

Check your Dragonfly. The vid I posted above says it has 1,250 microSCU, which is 500 more than the X1. I think the issue is the X1 uses a button that’s inside the cockpit. Btw, also in the vid above he is unable to lock his S1 tractor on until the shield is turned off, and once he turns it...

So back to the X1. It appears at least a dozen or so will fit in the cargo bay of the 400i, plus one in the hallway between the chilled components’ rooms, and another on the lift built for it. More importantly, the pile O’ parts found at time index 19:30 here: View...

I’m still sparky over them taking the holoviewer out of the Polaris. If I knew how to whine and complain with effect, this is almost enough to make me do so. This appears to me the single most disappointing nerf ever dumped on the fans, bar none. So are y’all saying CIG pulled the shields from...

So the X1 Force’s selling point was that it has two shields. Does it now have one and all others were removed?

If you never say “ten years”, then you never have to worry about anyone ever holding you accountable for results.

NASA had been working on mobile fission called the Prometheus reactor for the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) until cost overruns caused Congress to cancel the project in 2005. I was a huge fan of JIMO and when presenting at NASA HQ in 2019, I pitched a replacement at 1/10 the cost by shrinking...

Fission is definitely better for mobile solutions. Even though it’s less energy dense, the proposed fusion reactors are always less energy dense than fission. Fusion is only a big deal because it doesn’t require radioactive fuels and create radioactive by products. I’d love to see Small Modular...

If you think that justifies trash talking your director publicly, I guess that’s your choice. Most of us understand things like loyalty and discretion somewhat differently. Do you think Nia DeCosta somehow deserved the trash talk, or does the beer make that irrelevant somehow? I can’t help...

Just fyi, the announcement recently from the US National Ignition Facility that they had a break even event and we’re the first to produce net positive energy, is all propaganda. The NIF is a weapons research facility. Inertial confinement doesn’t have commercial applications for energy...

This is how hacking works in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny; the three Fantasy Flight Games tabletop RPGs. It’s really fun and fulfilling. In ship to ship combat, a team of players will typically be 4-6 people, each of which should be busy doing...

I think you have the right attitude, but I would caution that it’s a thoroughly bad idea to go to war with anyone who is metagaming. These guys who plot and plan to infiltrate other orgs and turn players against each other are not playing the game. They’re planning to attack not characters, but...

I think the point is that though you can try to do it all on your own, the result will be poor. Let’s take an example. Suppose you want to fly a Polaris solo. It is designed to be managed by five bridge crew, plus six turret gunners, plus an engineer supported by NPCs. Let’s just look at the...

Just for the sake of full disclosure, I was friended to Brie’s FB account before the first film, and fully supportive of her and Disney’s offering, until Brie went public with some feminazis bullshit and I disconnected. That is on her. I’m no misogynist but I am not supportive of radical...

I’m not sure what you’re skeptical of. There are very few cash sinks in game. Even once CIG implements realistic prices for fuel and ordinance, cash will be flowing into the game much faster than it flows out. To mitigate this, CIG wants players to hire NPCs and has already been clear these will...

I’m not sure that’s an endorsement. If I understood correctly, there’s an org here that decided to devote themselves to attacking and destroying another org by infiltrating them with Alt PCs and sewing dissent between the players. There’s nothing legitimate about those kinds of plans...

I think eventually, most every player will want some sort of deck based attack ship for use in org missions, so Fury, Arrow or Eclipse. There’s always time to buy one but I think everyone should be practiced at one of these. I can’t tell since I’m on my phone but it looks like you have an...

There is threat of great evil here. Players have spoken of a module with a bar that only sells non-alcoholic beer. Abomination.

What you’re describing is exactly what CIG has planned. There is some confusion if when you hire an escort pilot, it will have its own fighter. You’ll be able to hire turret gunners so one presumes they’ll man your turrets. NPCs will have skills that can increase over time and even at lowest...
