    Star Citizen: Around the Verse - Universal Interaction

    It's a really interesting episode (though the item interaction work bits had a lot of repetition I thought), well worth watching, but if you want a quick visual 'fix' then here are some timestamps: Prospector: Prospector video clip 1 Prospector video clip 2 Reclaimer: (NSFW - be warned...

    Xi'An Nox and Sabre Raven on schedule

    Maybe, but I'm betting on it being an electronic warfare ship. In the 1970's the US Air force had the EF-111 Raven, an electronic warfare platform. I think it would fit in with the product line for the Sabre Raven to be something along those lines, as a low profile EW ship. I guess we'll have...

    Running costs, crew requirement got me worried about the Merchantman

    I pretty much stuck to small ships for exactly this reason, but I don't think that BMM owner's will have too much to worry about. Yes you will need to pay for crew when running the BMM. That will be an ongoing cost, but you will be able to mothball ships for a nominal fee when you don't want to...

    Not that I've seen Sam. There are two videos posted by the organisers of the CIG dev panels, and those may be found here: Panel 1: Panel 2: The turnout last year was fairly sparse, but we saw at least double the numbers this time and it was a decent crowd (guesstimating 100 - 150?). If we...

    Did the Banu Merchantman get Idris sized? [now with video]

    To help visualise the potential size of the BMM, here is the Polaris (155 metres) in proportion to a range of other ships. Incidentally, the Serenity from Firefly is 92 metres, just to give you an alternative comparison :slight_smile: At least that gives us an idea of what to expect, but as...

    my amazon got hacked

    I use malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com), and have a lot of confidence in it. Having said that I also run an antivirus package, which changes depending on my perception of their product (and their price) at any one time. Kasperky, McAfee, and currently Bitdefender. So far there have...

    Well, half way home after a fun day. Nothing startling in the two dev panels, but they were certainly interesting, as was the panel with Alix Martin (the voice of Anvil ships) and the HCS Voice guy Paul Watson. Hung out with Thumbs31 much of the day (great to meet up with you), but it was good...

    Doh. If you can post then that would be fantastic, just let me know what the postage comes to and I'll sort you out. Thank you:)

    @BUTUZ You ok mate? Please don't tell me all the granite broke an axle as you were driving to the convention. I am heading off in half an hour or so, and I am sorry that you missed a good day. There's no doubt going to be an even better evening ahead though, so hope you make that.

    Ok, just arrived at the hotel. It's handy that it's 2 minutes down walkway from the Manchester airport train station. Shout out when you get here.

    Damn. I should have hit a console before leaving home and had my 350R readied for me here.

    Banu Defender

    The value of LTI on the BMM should not be underestimated. Normal insurance may not cover you in higher risk areas (according to an old post by Chris Roberts, that may not be canon), but LTI will cover you anywhere. Having cast-iron insurance on the BMM will allow you to go into areas that you...

    Banu Defender

    Yes I think it will be a monster. I'm hoping so anyway as the current internal design seems way too limited for the ship role. It is touted as a home as much as a cargo transport yet in the CIG concept art it has bunk beds as opposed to individual cabin space, and that really gives it the feel...

    Holy Awesome Beverage Container, Batman! Edit note: Incidentally my car just died this morning (or at least bleated loudly enough that I won't be driving it again until the garage have looked at it on Monday), so it looks like I'll be coming by train. Oh dear, what a shame (*cough* nothing to...

    I should have bought more subs... this is not enough

    Wouldn't it be good if you could operate a Big Benny's franchise and have your machines placed around the stations. You could retire off the earnings of that many machines :)

    Xi'An Nox and Sabre Raven on schedule

    Well spotted. so it looks like the Nox is ready now, and the Raven expected in three weeks. Time to start saving my pennies in case either has that siren's lure. :wave: :wave: :dollar: :sweat:

    Most kind, but let's put a hold on that gold bullion sized postage cost. Through the power of an awesome spouse I should be able to make it there. Hopefully for the start, but worst case by 3PM. Sign me up for a Test Squadron coaster please Butuz, I'll catch you there :)
