    Ship Showdown

    For me, it's flair for my ships.

    CitCon flair, mostly, revealed.

    This will be Citcon number 4 after they put the Carrack through the jump point.

    CitCon flair, mostly, revealed.

    Looks like Citcon is just more yammering about Pyro. Not talking about what's after Pyro, not Squadron 42. They certainly won't tell us when. Yawn!

    The Return to the Good Star Wars

    I thought the pacing was tedious. The dialog, when there was dialog, was both poorly written and poorly delivered. The saber fights were poorly choreographed. The characters just weren't likable. The amount of retcon required was high. What a waste of David Tenant's, and Ray Stevenson's...

    Not the newest assets. You may, or may not, get to fly those. There was usually a nice big wad of cash to start the PTU with. Go to the ship store and buy the ship you want to try. You want to know how the Phoenix flies, go to Loreville. Looking at the Valkyrie, go to Area 18. Want to try out...

    best game controllers? (gamepad)

    Starfield and SC, most RPG and MMO the Azeron or maybe the Razor keypad are my suggestions then. The precision of mouse and keyboard with the ease of a controller without sacrificing the buttons you need.

    best game controllers? (gamepad)

    What is your intended use? I like this https://store.azeron.eu/azeron-keypads#keypad=cyborg paired with my Logitech mouse for most situations I'd use a controller with my PC. I haven't had any issues with a steelseries controller with a PC (other than I don't like the lack of buttons on a...

    B5: the Road Home

    Not what we were told was coming.

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    One of the things I use the PTU for, other than to look at what's new and fixed, is to test drive ships I don't own. I don't amass huge amounts of money in the PU or in REC in AC and AC has limited functionality. The PTU, in addition to IAE and Fleet Week is how I evaluated ships for purchase...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    Changing the order of priority for PTU to prioritize testers instead of people that have provided significant monetary support isn't the best solution, IMHO, but it is a legitimate solution. To then sell access to anyone that wants it, regardless of their play and test habits, contradicts the...

    The hangar module would have to be rewritten from the ground up. While I believe bringing back the hangar module is a good idea, it is also scope creep I don't believe we need. They did have "personal hangars" in the tracker and it was supposed to go with the cargo refactor, that no longer...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    You missed where I suggested Subscribers be moved, like High Admiral, to wave 4. Why move one without the other? This way people aren't paying $10 just to check out the new hotness. Leaving Subscribers as Wave 1, regardless of their playing, puts CIG in the same position they are claiming...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    I don'tcremember where CIG posted that data. It has been a while. It was in that neighborhood. Being in wave 1 has been, and is still listed as being, a concierge perk longer than it's been a subscriber perk. From...

    From https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002542733-Concierge-Levels-and-Rewards It's been a listed Concierge perk longer. (Still is listed as such.)

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    I don't have any more access to data than you do. The key is perception. According to everything they've said about subscriptions, that is where the money is supposed to be going. Is that where it is going? Given this change, that doesn't appear to be the case. The question becomes, if it is to...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    The Subscribers are paying for the weekly shows, at least according to CIG, not servers. If the subscribers are active testers then they would move up from wave 4 to wave 1 or 2 due to their activity and CIG still gets the money. Further by spreading out the Concierge tiers they appear to be...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    If it is data over dollars, then subscribers should be in wave 4 or 5. Putting subscribers in wave 1 says they are hurting for money. That they need new money and way over spent the money they've collected. If it isn't about new money then the simple solution is to leave all of concierge in...

    CIG announced changes to PTU Waves Eligibility

    While true, it's an unforced error that just makes them look greedy on CIG's part. To avoid this, they could leave all of the Concierge in wave 1, and when the feature tourists drop off, in a couple of days, go to wave 2. It doesn't cost them anything, and still fills the stated goal without...

    Yet Another Cash Grab. I'm disappointed but not surprised.
