    Persistent object streaming

    SSOCS. was supposed to move the database off the servers. That way it wasn't server dependent, like your inventory, and was supposed to be the key to full persistence. As soon as everything was moved to SSOCS we were there. (And almost everything was supposed to be there more than a year ago...

    Can I get to Ruin Station in my.... *enter ship here* ??

    They actually extended the range of the small ships in Stanton. It originally took multiple stops to get across Stanton.

    Can I get to Ruin Station in my.... *enter ship here* ??

    I've been seriously considering range for some time. For the longest time we (my wife and I) limited ourselves to one small ship each. There is a reason I have a Liberator for our fleet. With the Liberator we currently have 5 small ships (and 2 Dragonflies) and one of the small ships is...

    Can I get to Ruin Station in my.... *enter ship here* ??

    The Vanguard is supposed to be multi-system capable. The Retaliator is implied to be. The Quantum fuel capacity clearly needs work and some differentiation. I do expect the small ships to lose some range but not much. The ships with medium drives to gain range and ships with large drives to...

    Well you have to move those stealth ships somehow.

    The Sentinel is supposed to have "EMP Charges," whatever that means.

    The hell with stealth. Use your MSR as a "go fast boat" and be gone before anyone knows you were there. The freighters aren't meant to fight, mostly, and they are too big to hide. Keep your speed up and do some distance.

    SQ42 upgrade available?

    I had one but melted it when I got my Scoundrel pack. Sorry, buy back not allowed, so I can't get it to you.

    That is the job of the wild weasel. Be seen so the Iron Hand component can hit the sensors of the air defense systems in the area. (Which is why a stealth Sentinel makes no sense to me.)

    Stealth isn't currently a thing in the PU. AFAIK the list includes Sabre, Razorback EX, Eclipse, Prowler, Hornet Ghost, Sabre Raven, Vanguard Sentinel (still makes no sense to me) and the Talon/Shrike. Other ships can be made stealthy but aren't designated as "stealth."

    Gallant Burstfire mode

    The M4 cyclic is around 700 RPM, same as the M16. The G11 is designed to fire burst mode at around 2200 RPM but full auto was around 700 RPM. It's a neat concept, and one of several in the weapon, but there were definite drawbacks. There are lots of misconceptions about "Assault Rifles" out...

    Gallant Burstfire mode

    Granted this is a game viewed through Hollywood tinted glasses, not the real world. In the real world, full auto is for suppression fire. It is to put heads down. Having been a MOUT instructor, short bursts just aren't very good at that.

    Will Connies be getting further work?

    This. The Connie is an Explorer.

    Will Connies be getting further work?

    The Hab area already has weapon racks, and the old incarnation of the storage locker, plus an implied kitchen. Reorganizing that, plus bringing it to current standards, fills most of the useable space. The engineering area at the rear of the cargo hold, and the corridor to the Merlin, needs...

    Will Connies be getting further work?

    All the crew stations are on the bridge. If your ship suffers decompression you need your suit, before you need a gun. Also note that the Connie currently lacks suit lockers but has gun racks.

    Will Connies be getting further work?

    I think the suit lockers are more essential on the bridge with the weapon racks to remain where they are now, roughly.

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    I'd prefer the scanning station in the forward end of the server bay and the servers in the room where the scaning station is now, but otherwise IMHO. the MSR is just fine. When it came in my Scoundrel Pack, I had every intention of CCUing it to something else. It looks like it will stay though.

    Will Connies be getting further work?

    There is some work that has to be done. Kitchen/Nozzletron. The lockers and weapon racks need to be brought to current standards. The metrics for the table doesn't look right. The top airlock has to go. They talked about moving or removing struts. Add components it doesn't have yet...

    I have to admit, I'm disappointed that it is only 2D, not 3D like Starship 42. The 2D assets are pretty 2D assets, nonetheless.
