I’ve been running numbers in both calculators, trying to determine what is the best way to fight and fight with the Polaris and made some interesting finds I want to share. A Polaris, hunting another Polaris is a good measure in the calculators since the Polaris figures are more reliable than...

Twin S6 ballistics on the Polaris chin! Point defense and quad S4 to the dorsal turrets. View: https://youtu.be/hEoNl6qLhgg?si=O69tVxa4dSM9P6sE

Amidst all the fanfare concerning the rage-quitting over MM, is the real news about server meshing. Yeah, there was news of this some months ago, but that was 100 players. This is 1,000 players. This is the real news that doesn’t deserve to be set aside while the tantrums get attention. News...

The spviewer has a really nice detection calculator that made me rethink the entire function of a deep penetration team working in Vanduul space. Instead of looking at how much damage it might do, I looked at the minimum Human Resources needed to be effective, flying 3 Eclipse off a Liberator. I...

If this is true, it’s a huge, big deal. View: https://youtu.be/ZsD05dnrnQk?si=L0Y5PnHTG968B2hR

Can we do this? Can we just have a civil discussion about Jon Favreau trying to save Star Wars by bringing back the original characters, or does someone need to come and object for personal reasons? View: https://youtu.be/uCr42bvg_nQ?si=ynEdPluiDExbrSpe

So viewer has the Terrapin with two S1 scanners and one S3 scanner. Anyone know what’s up with this? https://www.spviewer.eu/performance?ship=anvl_terrapin

For those who use or are interested in Virtual Table Top Role Playing Games, Foundry has taken it to the next level. Choosing Glass Cannon to showcase it was a good call. I’m a fan of their Pathfinder 2e campaigns. They pulled off this demo pretty well. So Table Top is not quite dead yet...

So, probably others here already knew, but I didn’t until today; that the Firebird got a huge upgrade. Not only does it have twice the missiles (24), but its stealth armor mod went from 20% to 40%. What does this mean in practical terms? First of all, it can fire four, six S3 missile salvoes...

Not very good. Looks pretty boring actually. I’ll rate it 2/10. If we had a thread where TESTies could post their best game vids, and once/year someone pulled them together as a recruitment trailer, I bet we’d do three to four times better the first time out of the gate. View...

As with most reviews of reviews, this is mostly nameless people sharing their judgements without any real substance concerning what they liked or didn’t. One substantive claim is that this is a Guardians of the Galaxy rip-off. Well that’s what it looked like from the trailer, and why I’m...

So I’ve been mean. To Disney. I confess. So how about this time a thread for all things Disney, starting with the huge success that is Deadpool and Wolverine? And subset of that, I’m thrilled to see Channing Tatum’s GAMBIT! Gambit rocks. I’ll post a clip of his big fight scene if I can find...

3.3 million subs. He must be doing something right. View: https://youtu.be/QtmS6ANEliM?si=BX_GRWr2rwmam3VE

For those interested in missiles, the hidden gold here is the new AIM has a much larger tube or diameter. Radar cross section missiles are guided by a phased array transmit/receive antenna, the power and sensitivity of which is a quadratic function of radius, so these missiles not only go faster...
