    Galactic Tour’s Combat Ship of the Year: SuperHornet vs. Vanguard Warden

    I think it's the rotating engines that just bother me. I love the lines of the retaliator, but then they mess them up by having those awkward skis rotate up when you land. If they put all the engines on the back, I would have been fully sold. The only other issue I have is being totally...

    Galactic Tour’s Combat Ship of the Year: SuperHornet vs. Vanguard Warden

    It's the super hornet for me, hands down. There are other ships that are technically better. However, they are also more "difficult" to fly. For instance, if I am really going for it, my Sabre is wicked awesome. I love that thing. It is a glass cannon though. So I really have to fly my a$$...

    Hoplite

    That's what I thought/hoped. I still love the concept of the Redeemer and I will be keeping it in my hanger until they finish up with it. It has quite a bit of promise and could still turn out to be a major player on the combat scene. Well, as long as it doesn't get any bigger. It should be...

    Hoplite

    They're still planning on reworking the Redeemer though aren't they? I haven't heard anything about them cancelling the remodel. From what I understand, the look of the redeemer is more of a placeholder and they are actually heading towards some fairly significant changes.

    Aces High

    Got a few more from my gym collection that are actually now working in my fighter collection.

    WALL OF TEXT Pirates vs Griefers: why you're thinking about it wrong.

    So I have been doing research into the matter off and on over the day. We all know that the events going on in the game now are not representative of the final product. The griefing and the camping that are spawning all this conversation won't be an issue in the final product. What I didn't...

    WALL OF TEXT Pirates vs Griefers: why you're thinking about it wrong.

    I was worried about the same thing earlier. I was worried about it until I got caught out in space with no quantum fuel. I can see Crusader in the distance about the size of a dime. So, I set the ship on auto-cruise and walk away for a smoke and a drink. I came back about 10 minutes later...

    Another Fleet Question

    I have a few options for smuggling as I intend to adapt to the situation and cargo. The one that I think holds the biggest promise is my Freelancer MAX. It has about the same cargo capacity of the Andromeda, same size (4-TR5 mains) engines, but at almost 1/3 the mass (30k vs 80k). So it...

    WALL OF TEXT Pirates vs Griefers: why you're thinking about it wrong.

    See, now you're looking at this game through the goggles of your expectations. This is just like others looking for a strictly PVE game and seeing this game developed through the eyes of their expectations. There needs to be a middle ground. This game cannot be exclusively PVE or PVP. It has...

    WALL OF TEXT Pirates vs Griefers: why you're thinking about it wrong.

    I have zero issues with this. This is how I see pirating going as well. It ads depth to the game in the form of risk and excitement. Without it, this game would just be farmville in space. The part that gets messed up though, is when pirates get called griefers and griefers try to call...

    WALL OF TEXT Pirates vs Griefers: why you're thinking about it wrong.

    This is pretty much it in a nutshell. I agree with the OP that Pirates will be a big part of the whole picture. They are the risk portion of the "risk vs. reward" equation. They are the reason we will not freely run cargo or goods through deep space. They can and will be a necessary part of...

    x52/voiceattack/Comstab

    Go to your devices and printers. You should see your x52 there. Right click it and select "game controller settings". That should pop up another window with your devices. The HOTAS should be one of those. Click on your X52 and hit the properties button. This should bring up another pop-up...

    Reddit repost - 'We Can't all be Pirates'

    It is fine to play the "devil's advocate". It is fine to try to justify this style of gameplay. It is also fine to attempt to find some positive aspect to all this. However, please do not confuse the two styles of gaming. Piracy is not greifing. There is a very defined line between the two...

    Gamecom 2016 full 50min presentation

    LOL, same here. I have seen it about a dozen times so far because I keep showing it to people. It does a really good job of changing "somewhat interested" into "holy crap that looks amazing".

    Looking for a source on embroidered caps

    My wife actually has an embroidery machine. She's all booked up, but advice is free. The best price on blank caps is actually Amazon. You get what you pay for, but the ~$15 range on flex caps seems to be equivalent to a $25-30 cap as a finished product. You would have to buy in bulk to get...

    Making Money

    I expect this will be the case as well. If it's a company affair, it really doesn't matter which of us is hauling and which is running escort. We get a run going, and we all grab the ships that are needed to do the job. So everyone from the freighter captain to the aurora running along side...

    Reddit repost - 'We Can't all be Pirates'

    There are a few things to consider to keep this whole thing in perspective. Grievers, historically, are usually a very small portion of the overall community. I would put them at less than 5% of the overall player base. Their whole goal is to attempt to ruin the game for the other 95%+. They...

    Retro gaming and IMO the best front end out there

    Amazing once again. I have been running my emulators on my netbook but this makes me want to load everything on my main pc too.

    mmmm raspberry pi

    In fact, I do. I have been running software solutions for that, but I love redundancy. Having a hardware solution in addition to software would be amazing. Thanks again! Edit: My daughter tried forging for the first time at 7 years old. I have no idea where she learned it but it was...

    Show off your rig!

    Well, it's not so much a rig as it is a big damn mess. I actually just moved the whole operation a couple weeks ago and still have a pile of cord management. It is a work in progress for sure. We also work a lot and, well, we're gamers not housekeepers. So this is actually 4 pc's. The...
