    The Matrix Resurrections

    The general plot devise of all the Matrix films is known as "solipsism", which is to say the subject can't know anything past that they exist. Think DesCartes "I think, therefore I am". The point is horror. Just how much of what you believe to be true is not? Is reality real? This is a...

    The Matrix Resurrections

    The Wachowski brothers took to hating everyone well before they became the Wachowski sisters. From the time of their earliest sexual addictions and revelry in LA BDSM clubs, just after the first Matrix movie release, they have been equal opportunity offenders of everyone who gets near them...

    Ship Weapon choices in the Era of capacitors (patch 3.14 and beyond)

    Great analysis. Where do we find capacitor data? I'm not seeing it on erkul. What happens when a turret isn't used? Do the turret capacitors in the Vanguard and Cutlass add to the caps the pilot controls when there is no turret gunner, or when the turret runs ballistics? Are we expecting to...

    Is this the 400i cockpit view?

    The EM is in the right category for a ship with two medium reactors and two shields. The IR is much lower than any current ships of that size. That is half the IR of a Sentinel and 2/3 that of a Lancer. If it's the 400i, it's the new stealth ship to follow. With weapons and shields off this...

    Favorite Retro Game

    The Ghost Bear Legacy expansion pack to Mechwarrior 2 released in 1995, included 14 new Mechs. One of them, the Black Knight; became my favorite ride of all time. It was a Heavy Mech (80T) but very fast. By dropping just a tad of the standard armor it was suddenly as fast as a Medium Mech...

    AI Formation Leadership

    I think one important thing to note about the dev comments is they're all future tense about what they "plan". No plans are set in stone until they do the coding, and even then they could change their minds. What I liked about the SQ42 update from a year ago was that he was reporting the...

    2nm transistors

    The M1 isn't much faster than the competition, but it includes 4 "efficiency" cores it runs during most computations that run far cooler and use less power then the other 8 cores. Apple started tbhis years ago and it is surprising no one has followed suit. Great processor for iPads, small...

    AI Formation Leadership

    I'm not sure what the devs could have meant by "AI Escort Pilot" other than as you describe it, though I'm still not sure it will be in the PU rather than just SQ42. Wouldn't it be a kick though, to fly a whole wing of Eclipse in on the Vanduul for pew pew?! They all deserve to die.

    AI Formation Leadership

    This was why I had planned for a couple years to fly a Vanguard, and just add new Vanguards to the wing as my finances allowed. Just over a year ago though, someone here said with seeming authority that is not how it will work, and if you want to hire wingmen, they are expensive and come with...

    Scoundrel?! Scoooooundrel. I like the sound of that.

    Agreed. I think it's nice they decided to throw us a bone amidst the constant pressure, and it makes me think we'll see those two characters again. Don't be too surprised if they show up in SQ42, or as NPCs in the PU, or both! Dugan and Mad Dog are both likeable enough. Mass, the Banu in...

    Wandering Mercenaries Wander

    Hail and well met! Let me suggest you check out the vids online of those who win at Star Marine. It's seldom the kids with the twitchy skills. The winners are mostly older players who play smart, so for example; they run as often as possible. Anyone can learn to play smart.

    Scoundrel?! Scoooooundrel. I like the sound of that.

    Probably quite a few but I doubt enough to pay for the video itself. Quality like that isn't cheap. I haven't seen any of the fan films with this sort of quality.

    Four unannounced ships coming

    I like the 300 series just becaise they make excellent use of space. If the 400 did the same but added room for 2 more crew, a couple X1 Force bikes and some real stealth, I might be pursueded from the Sentinel. I like the pilot has 2 S4 guns and two turrets rather than one would be nice. We...
