My two biggest reason for not playing ED much anymore are the flight controls (in my current ship it takes over a minute to yaw 360 degrees and half that for a full pitch rotation, and it's far from the slowest ship) and the "pointlessness" of exploration or anything. Just jump from system to...

Congratulations :) If I'm not able/allowed to sleep I will be there.

The new MISC lineup: The Bennyliant, The Bennylancer, The Bennyfarer and the Benndeavour. I'd buy them all.

I like that they keep the split throttle since that allows it to be good in multi engine flight sim without sacrificing one single bit for space sims. You can lock it and you could also use it for yet another analogue axis, power throttle for one? But yeah, base design is old painted blue, but...

You don't need that much precision on the strafe axises, just enough to not slam into the landing pad when landing manually. I know at least my left stick is not used as a precision device most of the time. In dogfighting inertia beats the precision anyways ;)

Looks like a complete new stick mechanism too? Hopefully one that moves smoothly and doesn't start to chug. Most complaints about the X55 comes with the stick not moving smoothly, especially round the center position.

Nice little touch, if they can get their production quality back to what they once had before Mad Catz stepped into the game and bought them, this could actually become something. I really like the X-52 (when you get one that works) and the Cyborg 3D I had before that, but for now it's dual...

That RtV was great, it's always fun to see Chris enter ramble mode on things he love... so much info pour out. I usually play female characters for ... "equality" ... issues? So many games force you to play male so when I have the option I usually go 50/50... less so in online games since I...

Mine's named The Lucky Leviathan. Also, book of small gods is awesome. Definitely a book everybody should read because it's extremely on point, as is most of the late sir pratchett's work. He will be missed.

I never bought my large ship, so it changes it for me ;) I won a Gladius LTI and a Connie Andromeda on twitch raffles in one ad the same week, melted the Connie and upgraded the Gladius to a Connie with LTI, and then at the anniversary sale I upgraded the Connie to a Gemini and had enough to...

So the real question now is instead: How long would the beer in the tanks on a test filled starfarer last?

You forgot to actually count the 3 toilets? And you could probably sit 4 in the dressing room. And you can easily sit two per bed.

Honestly, right now they probably increase the price of the ships because they want less people to buy them. They're really hurting the start economy by offering them relatively cheap. Realising how much of a head start a Starfarer will give me I almost want to melt it (just almost though, love...

I feel my in depth analysis of ship costs disappeared on the end of last page cause a lot of salty people to miss it, so here's the TL:DR. Right now you get exponentially more ship when you back the game for more money, once the game is out the ships have to cost exponentially more per size for...

So, to make a completely logical argument here, the real money "price" of ships, i.e. the amount of money you have to back the game for to get a certain ship as a thank you is completely off the scale of what ships will have to cost in the end. Ship prices should increase exponentially with...

Drunken quoting - best quoting! Either way, happy to help :)

You're being too cynical. Compare this ship to a single Freelancer, it used to cost less than two of those and it's easily 4 times the physical cargo space and crew space over that and then you add gathering, refining and distribution of space fuel to that. The people who got it cheap were...

The Starfarer is Collector, Refinery, Storage/Transport and distribution in once... while shorter than the Carrack it's say it's probably bigger (the carrack being a skinny thing). The carrack have sensors, but they seem relatively cheap when you compare Freelancer to DUR and Andromeda to Aquila...

The Starfarer is now gone from the CCU list completely... the thick plottens.... err.... yeah...

RSI have forums? I've seen the links on their webpage, but I thought it was a placeholder since if I accidentally hit it, the internet spontaneously self combusts.
