I use 2 Thrustmasters T 16000 and would never go back to using a throttle and stick. Throttles are easy to set up with a binding and just throw on a space brake and you are good to go. But floor peddles would be nice for throttle and it would free up some bindings. The only draw back is that I...

I'm pretty sure they will have Carracks on sale when they come out - they have had sales for all ships released. So you can own one long before the PU is up and running. Knock wood.

Brilliant! But where is the pic of Putin with his short off?

Finding you would be easy. Just follow the trail of people saying 'I tawt I taw a puddy tat'.

Of all the PAX events this is the one I wish I could attend! The PU is the center of the gaming universe!

I prefer an olive branch in one hand and a broken bottle in the other.

No. But I think a TEST member has figured out how much beer it can carry.

Yeah, it does get pretty frustrating sometimes. Can't even be bothered with it now to be honest. Been two years and we have some pretty amazing stuff but not really playable. Sure they will eventually get it together but I really don't think we know what the end product will be despite the hype...

No, I love to play with myself. Do it all the time. Even doing it now while typing.

Not into single players. But good luck to them.

I use spelling check. Otherwise my writing looks like this: I seu spelng cheque. Oter wise my writng loaks lick dis.

The fact that you think so little of procedural generation leads me to conclude you are talking out of your hat. And you should remember that everyone here is not a software developer, in fact most aren't. So when you talk about the scope of a game it means different things to different people...

Yeah, good point. But I am noticing that rending is even a problem for those of us with good computers turned on high. And of course optimization will turn down quality a notch or two and no computer will be able to recapture the kind of quality we see now.

Yes, I suppose we could go back and forth all day regarding similarities and differences but the reason I play both SC and Elite is because of the similarities I mentioned. And people who like Space will be drawn to Elite, SC and EVE > it's the stuff that binds us. :) But you do have a good...

I think they also had their graphics optimized early in order to make the game more workable during development. Perhaps people are unaware but optimizing will require an IMMENSE amount of time and resources to complete and it always effects visual quality. So I think it was pretty smart of...

I think it is a question of balance: I'd rather have smooth, unbugged graphics then something super detailed and bugged like hell The problem is you think they are 'incredibly' different when they are not. They are both PC games, they are based in space, they have spaceships, planets, stations...

Excel? Everyone likes to excel.

There is no question that the detail of SC is supreme, but rendering has been spotty. And all one has to do is go to the RSI forums to find rendering problems: from graphics and grates on floors, asteroids not appearing until near, helmet disappearing and reappearing (is this the real reason...

This argument about what is Alpha and what isn't has been going on forever on RSI forums and pretty well the entire blogosphere. Lets look at what Alpha testing actually means: Alpha testing is simulated or actual operational testing by potential users/customers or an independent test team at...
