    PSA: Ship price increases occuring at IAE.

    I’m curious how you decide what is “the right thing to do.” I have never seen any signs in your complaints of sage-like wisdom, and in an age of moral vacuum I’m curious what is your guide. In free market capitalism, prices are set by what the market will bear, meaning free people get for their...

    Creatives vs. Engineers

    You do understand, the two big ticket items holding back the game were SQ42 and Server Meshing. Reports on both these fronts are good. It’s okay to be grateful for that.

    Creatives vs. Engineers

    BTW, in technical startups, the business people all assume the technical people (both physicists and engineers) are a dime a dozen and easy to replace, and the technical people tell themselves the business people are just there for the money and are easy to replace. None of this leads to the...

    Pyro - Checkmate Station

    Is anyone spotting signs of slavers? IIRC this was offered as characteristic of the region some years ago, and I recall making a mental note to prey upon Pyro for their sins. Seemed they deserve some grief. Any signs of slavery? Slavers, blechh! Kill ‘em all I say. Once beta hits this is...

    Zeus II

    That’s true, but we don’t want to see the Blue relegated to the pile of useless. Rather, the MR seems to be taking only the larger ships from the Blue’s list of targets. It may be a step up, but primarily in that it can carry more boarders , take more hits and take larger ships. CIG has always...

    Zeus II

    The A1 and C1 both have an SCM of 154 and a top speed of 1,120m/s. They pull 15.5 gees forward and 9.9 lateral, and are apparently significantly better in atmo. So generally a little more agile than a Black or even the Blue in atmo, but with significantly less top speed than the Blue (1210)...

    Zeus II

    So the Fury is about half the mass and volume of the Cyclone TR when its in landing configuration. The Cyclone is 6 L x 8.75 W x 3.5 H and 27k kg. The Fury operational (and when contracted) is 7 (6.13) L x 5.4 (3.27) W x 3.8 (3) H and 15k kg. So looks like a fit. There may actually be room for...

    A look at the new heavy tractor beam gun

    Yes, I was wondering about that too. The tests they did indicate the rocks that can be towed are much smaller than you’d guess, but they probably mass out similar to ships.

    Zeus II

    Is anyone familiar enough with the size of the Cyclone (which we’re told will fit in the Zeus) as compared to the Fury? Will the Fury likewise fit in the Zeus?

    Mugging Area

    Repeated muggings have been reported where a player on the train near Arcorp 18 continues to OD characters with a med gun and steal all their stuff. So beware. At least three episodes have been reported so there are probably more.

    Zeus II

    So I guess I’m hooked on this ship. Both the ES and MR call to me. If they’re as quick and nimble as the Warden, and if they’re stealthy, I think I’m all in. I just can’t get away from the looks and given it comes stock with fixed guns, I’m thinking they made it pretty maneuverable. I adore the...

    A look at the new heavy tractor beam gun

    Great stuff. I want to see what happens if you grab a person and slam them into the side of a cage, etc. Has anyone spotted the S3 ship mounted tractor? I read in another group yesterday that the tractor is missing off the nose of the 315P.

    South Park saves Star Wars?!

    Well Naff, at least be honest about my change of heart. I’m not in dispute with everyone here. There is one person here I blocked a couple years ago and have no dealings with and there is you. You were disingenuous with me and you inserted yourself here specifically to poison the well and derail...

    South Park saves Star Wars?!

    No actually, there was a single thread on this apolitical issue until Montoya closed it down due to unnecessary sniveling and deceit. It had survived several interesting pivots and necros until you decided to parade your cheesy virtue signaling. Now you’ve returned to poison the well. It’s...

    South Park saves Star Wars?!

    So much has happened and so much been written this last week about the South Park parody of Disney, that is daunting even to try to sum up. In short however: South Park launched into a penetrating criticism of many things Disney, poking fun where it was fun to poke. They lambasted Snow White...
