    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    Stepping stone to another ship, spreading them out to use them in multiple systems, concern about claim timers and you just like the way they look would have all been acceptable answers. LOL. Looking at my fleet I have both an Eclipse and a Retaliator. Why? I like the way they look. :) Though...

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    That does depend on your definition of "honest trading," how you intend to acquire your "trade goods" and being able to defend said goods. :) Before the recent changes, so the Hull-C works, the cargo ships that were most efficeint to load were in the 60 to 120 CF range. Now, I haven't done any...

    Interesting fleet. I like it. What are your plans for how to use it?

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    Interesting. You have 4 freighters in the same general capacity range. They're all the right size for carrying a ROC, or unloading the Vulture or Prospector, or resupplying the Vulcan, but is there a particular reason for four of them?

    Mixologist Masters Class

    Oh, and since tomorrow is December 7th, to properly commerate Pearl Harbour Day, it is tradition to get bombed. B-52's (above) or Kamakazies are the recommended drinks. Kamikaze (you can make it by the pitcher). One part Vodka One part triple sec One part lime juice Shaken and served in...

    Mixologist Masters Class

    If you're going to layer a drink, do it right. Kahula, Baileys, Grand Marnier, and a little bit of overproof rum. Use a bar spoon to layer (in that order), then right before you serve it you light the rum. A B-52 shot down in flames. (No I did not take the pic or set up this image.)

    Mixologist Masters Class

    Rum drinks: My take on the Rum Runner Modify based on the size of your serving/glass but don't change the proportions. This is roughly a 15 ounce Hurricane glass. Halve the ingredients and it is a Utah legal cocktail. One shot Dark Rum One shot Light Rum One shot Pineapple juice 3/4 shot Lime...

    How should CIG deal with toxic players and harassment outside of the game?

    No, I read it. The example isn't valid. Overservice of a beverage is defined in, most, US localities, in the law. Usually creating a civil liability. Getting the establishment sued or charged due to overservice can also cause a person bared from entry. A game has no such equivalent. Causing...

    How should CIG deal with toxic players and harassment outside of the game?

    Overserving someone in a bar is different than hosting a game. Even so, that is still a matter for law enforcement. The game didn't cause the behavior, the person did. The game is just an excuse. Are you recommending changing the TOS?

    Fusion is coming

    25-50 years since the late 40s. Mobile solutions? USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was launched in 1954 and we've been using fission for mobility ever since. Fission is fine for mobility, as long as the thing you're moving is big enough. For smaller options see NEPA and ANP. Programs that were...

    How should CIG deal with toxic players and harassment outside of the game?

    Nothing. What happens outside the game isn't about CIG. They have no control, that is a matter for law enforcement.

    Fusion is coming

    It seemed closer in 1989 when they claimed to have achieved cold fusion.

    Fusion is coming

    We've been hearing about nuclear fusion as a power source since the late 40's (Which is well before my time.) It is always just around the corner. There is only one stable fusion reactor in the entire solar system, and to call it stable just means it isn't likely to explode in the near future...

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    Ah. Just a thought but my guess is the Hawk and the Stalker and the Blue and MR are pairs in tier 1 and tier 2 bounty hunting.

    You have to be linked for that function. Follow the directions for hangar link.

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    Intersting, an MR without an Avenger Stalker or Hawk. May I ask why no Bounty Profession starter?

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    I'm not interested in the Legionnaire. We have Hawks for Carrier fighters but the Sabres or Hornet replacements could be for that as well.

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    "Two is one. One is none." (Old pilot adage) "Never leave your wingman." (Top Gun) You should fly combat craft in pairs. One, possibly both MSR might change we might need to change one to a Herc or Hull-C. Moving your base is a royal PITA. After a trip in an MSR, and two trips in an M-2 I...
