    Instancing with 50-100 players is out, now 1000 players?

    handling state in a setup like this has puzzled me. efficient apps which scale horizontally tend to follow the 12-factor pattern to some extent http://12factor.net/ however, when you think about a game server, this model breaks down because traditionally a game server maintains quite a bit in...

    Instancing with 50-100 players is out, now 1000 players?

    I'd disagree strongly on that... The founding premise of AWS, Google Compute services, Azure, and many of the platforms built for this ecosystem such as Heroku, is that you should be building apps that horizontally scale. This type of server architecture is the way most tech startups build their...

    Can someone explain to me why ships go off the market for a while?

    Well, if everyone had top of the line ships they wouldn't be top of the line ships.

    I think pooping is a great idea for a game mechanic. Floating turds! Whats not to love?

    Bomber Squadron?

    I dunno where I'll side. I might blow up pirates, bengals, whatever looks the most fun and i can profit from. edit: and by profit, I mean Im probably going to need to make friends with some people in salvaging...

    Bomber Squadron?

    yeah earlier in the post I said I planned out outfitting and operating my tali for max stealth. I wasn't kidding when I said I'll sit behind an asteroid with the ship off for 30 min waiting to sneak up on a convoy. or shut a lot of systems off and slowly approach a target, whatever works best in...

    Bomber Squadron?

    a B52 carpet bombs the retaliator will never do that, lock time is too long and can only have 3(?) torpedoes ready at any given time. i don't see much resemblance to it. in a sub however, you're limited in the amount of torpedo tubes you can load and you can't instantly rain hell with...

    Bomber Squadron?

    Once the PTU is actually playable and "stealth" mechanics are implemented I plan on testing this theory and writing in more detail, but in the meantime... My working theory is everyone thinks about the Tali backwards. The Retaliator - Can accomplish long distance, hard hitting strikes against...

    Bomber Squadron?

    I think in an org like TEST, where at any given moment I'd argue at least someone is interested in joining your ship, multi crew will not be a limitation. If you're worried about that then have a single seater ship on standby in the event you choose not to fly with someone else / have an NPC crew.

    This guy nasa looks like a good candidate for test squadron

    Probably because Ted Cruz is chairman (or was, not sure if he still is?)

    This guy nasa looks like a good candidate for test squadron

    Are you referring to NASA or the probe? I have a feeling the congressional science & space committee will not approve this.

    Anyone else excited about *when* not if, TEST finds a Bengal?

    I thought I made it pretty clear why this is a non-issue. Im being 100% serious, the only person who would ever know is Montoya.

    Anyone else excited about *when* not if, TEST finds a Bengal?

    I dont think you guys understand how far I meant. nobody will ever scan for this: besides montoya will park it somewhere, none of us will know! even if we dont fake its death, the fact that we re-hid the damn thing after finding it 1) its a smalll fuck you (we found the treasure... and...

    Anyone else excited about *when* not if, TEST finds a Bengal?

    Hey Guys, these are really great, no, fabulous ideas on what to do with the Bengal. Here's the problem, all of them involve us actually loosing it. I'm not betting on the chances we'll find a 2nd anytime soon after, and I seriously doubt the other orgs would destroy that asset. So how do this...
