    Star Citizen Cinema "Parking the M50"

    Ah good, I shall assume you get to keep your TEST membership based on this. Was the beer good? 8^D

    2nd Bengal Carrier We Get

    What about TEN Startap One? TEN being "TESTs Excuse for a Navy", Startap as we're using it to give the star a little tap, and One to set a precedent. After all, if it's worth doing once it's worth doing a number of times, preferably with every Bengal we liberate from captivity in other org fleets.

    [Concern] Seung might have alcohol poisoning (its his birthday)

    In some of the more remote areas, there isn't much to do besides drink and ****.

    TEST Signal Nov - video

    hmm...now you have me thinking...lost faction of humans, way out in space to be discovered someday by the most far-reaching explorers, originally colonized by a faction trying to bring back the glory of the Roman Empire. Ships with names (and designs) like "Hoplite", "Centurion", "Legionnaire"...

    CIG to revamp high-end packages ($1,000+) at the end of the year:

    I never understood this, as it is clearly stated that nobody has ever "bought a ship", although people talk about it in those terms. CR/CIG clearly stated from the beginning that all the money collected by the crowdfunding is donations, and that the ships/packages are "donation rewards", much...

    Thinking about throwing an upgrade

    That's not a bad build there, though you got ripped on the PSU. You should be getting at the very least 40fps and likely more out of that system. That video card is a small step up from the 670s I have been using for a while now, and I am getting 40-50fps with SLI turned off, though it's...

    GTX 670 SC+ 4GB has exactly the same VRAM as the GTX 970 SC, 4GB of GDDR5, and 1/3 more than the 7970 which only has 3GB of GDDR5. It was also cheaper than the 7970 at the time I bought it by $36 ($435 vs 399), and as I said, it's used so I will be selling it for $100.

    Beer is one thing, creepy dolls are something else :)

    Planning for Future Upgrades

    I've been using Asus motherboards for years, my last three boards have been from them, but I won't touch an ASRock with anything that isn't disposable. Out of the last 100 ASRock boards I have seen less than 20 of them did not need to be RMI'ed, frequently multiple times. EVGA had some...

    Road to Mumble - Stress TEST Friday Dec 5th

    When you have 5 people PMing you, plus the general chat, all mixed together in one continuously scrolling mess, you'll see what I mean.

    I WANT THIS!

    Here are a few I'd love to see in SC, even if they are somewhat ripped off of older, dead games like Earth & Beyond (especially the first one). Some of them are decidedly alien looking.

    Audio update

    I have some dip for your chips btw Erroll, Ranch and Dill :)

    Anyone else exited about EWAR?

    I think ewar will be an option for several different ships, in fact I would expect limited ewar capabilities to be available for any ship. I want it on a Hull C to aid in smuggling. But there should be some ships that have variants specifically designed for this purpose, perhaps the Herald would...

    Your desk/computer setups!

    Basically, any PSU and optionally case that you buy now should last you through at least 3 motherboard/CPU/RAM swaps. I have a Thermaltake Xaser VI case that I've used for 9 years and don't see any reason why I can't use it for another several years. The PSU (Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 850W)...

    I recommend consulting multiple websites, both to avoid reviewer bias and because any given tst is going to be done with different parts. Not every GTX 970 is perfectly identical, nor is every 280x.

    I'm expecting to use my new GTX 970 SC (SC = supercharged, a misnomer for factory overclocked) at least until the game releases, whether or not it will be useful at that time (at 2560x1440).

    Planning for Future Upgrades

    They have been pretty clear that the release version will be geared towards the midrange of the PC market at the time it comes out, so depending on the resolution and number of your displays it might strain a card that by that point in time will be generations out of date.

    Road to Mumble - Stress TEST Friday Dec 5th

    There are a few important things we need that Mumble does not have, simply because of how big TEST is. These include the ability to adjust, on your client, the sound levels coming in from each individual member in the chatroll as well as separate tabs for private messages. There are other things...

    HOTAS Poll?

    Lots of good ideas in that thread, hope CIG sits up and takes notice.

    I may have an EVGA GTX 670 SC+ 4GB available used in a day or two. This was $400 a year ago and I'd probably let it go for a quarter of that. MSI afterburner is showing 40-50 fps at max settings in 2560x1440 resolution, so with your monitor at maximum res you should easily get a solid 60fps.
