Reminds me of all the years I was arguing with NASA’s senior engineering staff who kept saying SpaceX will never be able to create reusable rockets. Well, you certainly can’t do hard stuff if you believe you can’t do hard stuff. Shout out: eat shit, Bill Carson; and all the other overpaid trolls...

It’s pretty bad. I’ve seen footage of a lot of hurricanes, but that’s 150mph winds or so. There’s footage of 215mph wind from Milton. I have to suppose that’s from inside the tornadoes. There were at least 33 of them. Crazy.

So picking up from the the thread on the Tali, what might we make of the 7 beds aboard the Tali if we used it with a Lib? 9 beds total. So combining a Tali and a Lib you could field 3 Eclipse, 2 Firebirds, and have 4 players on the Tali. That’s 15 S9 torps. No MIS needed. That’s a pretty...

Richard, we’ve had this conversation before about your blanket statements concerning what you are sure does not exist, so I’ll just remind—it is logically impossible to show evidence toward a negative proposition. You can have no evidence for your position and there isn’t anyone who thinks you...

I actually liked the movie and the acting. The dialog is a little flat at times but it’s still a fun film.

I think the Skipper Missile was created by Isaac Asimov as part of his Berserker series of short stories. If Chris were to do this he’d need to invent a way to defeat it too. No easy task.

It’s working! https://www.youtube.com/live/55cOI2XERbw?si=N5fVj36HQWTxEjvD

That is very kind. One last word about stealth since Sky asked. Players have been complaining for years that stealth is broken in game and you should ignore it when choosing components. This has never been true. Rather, the game works just how real stealth tech works. It does not provide...

Good to see you’re still with us, GP. How’s the neighborhood?

Yes, stealth really is only had with weapons off or if you load all ballistics and leave shields off. Shields and energy weapons both have high EM. Engines, reactors and systems put out high IR. IR is harder to reduce, which is why you have a stealth switch that dumps about 25% IR for 10% higher...

I’m right there with Talon. Sneaky Pete moves are what war is about. I agree, your idea bears serious investigation. I have had several friends ask how I would fit out the Retaliator. I suppose that’s worth mention despite how much components will change. I would personally swap all 10...

Is the STV faster than the Tally? I would be surprised if that were true.

It’s not just the fuel prices have gone up. The Q speeds have gone down and travel time has gone up. View: https://youtu.be/JaT88wsroKs?si=MSLPCdEkReR3xgur

I’ve wanted to revisit this ship since she had her SCM speed increased. It was always the Retaliator’s dreadful combat speed that put me off her. I can clearly recall from my first days in the game, falling in love with what reminded me of the B1 bomber, or “Bone”, which she is clearly modeled...

I have three complaints. First, they hung the chairs on the bridge from above, and thereby robbed the crew of an upward view. It’s not just struts, it’s the whole ceiling. From the outside the ship appears has a great view, and it does not. Disappointing. All for the sake of very cool looking...

Class 5 now. 179mph sustained, gusting at 190. If there were a class 6 hurricane, this would qualify. Head North dude, before the roads are full.

Since I mentioned that SW Theory was playing Outlaws and had no complaints, I think I should note how that turned out. He played all the way through and then made a lengthy explanation of why it is maybe the worst game he has ever played. So there’s that.
