    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    So back to the point she was making. What the director says she’ll be saying to men with this film: “. . .recognize that I am working to bring something that makes you uncomfortable, and it should make you uncomfortable, because you need to change your attitude. . .” Really, Disney? All...

    Yeah. Rich people. Go figure. Better than a gold plated Ferrari, though. Did you notice the fire on the ground where the tracers hit? IIRC, tracers are normally like 1/10 the load. Crazy.

    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    If Kathleen Kennedy had a twisted need to humiliate female characters, and did to Leah what she did to Luke, then absolutely I would be just as angry about it. With all due respect, placing the words “to me” before a sentence does not grant you permission to define however you like. There are...

    The last Disney Star Wars movie

    I think the difference in modern films’ distasteful portrayal of girl power as compared to decades past is that the most modern is based upon radical or third wave feminism, which has at its core not a desire for equality, but rage and compensatory justice against the patriarchy. It’s one thing...

    I hope you won’t mind me observing that sounds quite backward. Communism and its attendant Collectivist philosophy was handily debunked 2,400 years ago in the Greek political science lab using over 64,000 real world examples—conclusively showing that Capitalism is obviously superior. Since that...

    I gotta second the above. It may well turn out once the game opens, Montoya provides us a grand vision that includes territorial politics, opportunities for homesteading, etc. Some who have base-like accommodations (Liberator, Polaris, Kracken, Idris, Javelin, etc.) may eschew a “base” entirely...

    Well at least once this drops, someone more responsible will be able to buy the IP at bargain basement price. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/sctbgsn7Pg2tfaVE/?mibextid=HSR2mg

    This vid is not an expose’ so much as a promo. It doesn’t grapple with any of the multitude of questions that come when Ian Malcom observes in Jurassic Park “...Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.“ It’s completely amoral...

    That, my friend; is a way too cool super-spy plan. Hope that works for you!

    The Kardashev Scale

    IMHO, the Kardashev scale is broken. It places interdimensional technology as galactic and there are plenty of reasons to suspect this and other assumptions in the ranking are incorrect. It is thus IMHO, a useless model best ignored. For instance, reports of UFO phenomena that extend back 6,000...

    Base Building

    Em, you’re familiar with the fact the Banu are slavers, yes? You should expect all sorts of negative consequences for palling around with them. Lots of Bounty Hunters will be hunting slavers inside UEE space and that will sometimes spill over. Slavery is the UEE equivalent of “hive of scum and...

    Let's talk C1

    I’m not a hauler guy, nor am I attracted to luxury, but I do love the capabilities of the 400i. Still waiting to see how the Zeus compares. To get the most out of the 400i’s stealth there are a few counterintuitive things to consider. First, you obviously need to fly with weapons, shield and...

    Let's talk C1

    Stealth is based off the higher of EM and IR. There’s no way to equip the C1’s IR below 12k because of inadequate cooling. When you flip the stealth switch you reduce IR for greater EM, so probably C1 drivers ought to just leave it on if they’re trying to run quiet, but ships are still gonna...

    Let's talk C1

    I know I’m on this subject too often, but as no one has mentioned it, I would point out if you’re going to compare metrics across a single class, you do need to consider the stealth and speed qualities. For hauling cargo, stealth is more important that firepower, hull and shielding. When you’re...

    Skeleton Crew

    The C1 is about the right size to compare with Luthen’s very cool ship, but mysteriously CIG put only one cooler in it and it always runs very hot. Not my style. We’ll need to see what they do with the Zeus. That’s close to ideal size for me. I’m hoping against all hope the explorer version will...

    Omni Sticks or Standard Sticks

    Omnis are less accurate because they’re flown with the whole arm, whereas straight sticks if positioned properly are flown with the wrist. The fewer joints you use the more accurate you’ll be, same as darts.

    Where are the snowflakes this year?

    As an equal opportunity offender let me say to all your mother was a hampster and your father smelled of elderberries. That is all.
