    Fixing the Polaris

    I don't think that micro jumps would be quite so short, larger quantum drives currently have 70,000 km disconnect range, unless you're fighting a moon that's just kinda way too long. I can see it being shorter if you tweak it, but I doubt you'd get it down to or below 100km

    Patch 3.11 is out to PTU

    But... Perm isn't anywhere close to -40C in January, unless it's some sort of super exceptional day. In January Perm is usually around -4C to -20C most of the time, usually there is one or two nights that are closer to -30C and a couple of days you're hitting +0C. As I said, I've gone with...

    The forthcoming election

    I haven't been following it, but Costigan sounds kinda expensive, while Addison seems committed to bringing glorious new stuff for the citizens.

    Patch 3.11 is out to PTU

    Well, y'know, I'm a fin, and while Finland is quite a bit north of most of Canada, we got them natural thermal batteries more commonly known as lakes, and... well, long story short, a lot of Finland is a lot like Canada when it comes to temperatures and whatnot. Ya guys got bit more sun though...

    Patch 3.11 is out to PTU

    Hmm, to me, that kinda seems like a situation where the top layer has melted once or twice, and freshly frozen perfectly evenly, then gotten a layer of loose snow on top. So I'd be guessing closer to -1C to -5C that swung to +2 or +3 recently. That kinda smooth surface is just extremely...

    [Vidya] Sept brings in $3M

    Sweet potatoes or regular potatoes?

    [Vidya] Sept brings in $3M

    September is the slowest month? What? No no, my anecdotal evidence suggests that September was the biggest month. I did more pledges in September than any other month of this year, $5 whole new dollars... Well, I might be waiting for the big sales coming soon.

    Patch 3.11 is out to PTU

    Hmmm... That's just for the PTU, right? Like, that's no indication on whether or not the eventual LIVE will have a wipe? Also, wth does database reset with long term persistence even mean? Those seem to be kinda contradictory?

    Microsoft Buys Zenimax! (DOOM, Fallout, Skyrim, and the whole LOT!)

    I wouldn't be too worried, when you buy an IP the first thing you think of usually isn't "let's scrap everything fans love about this IP and redo it with new ideas," I mean, that'll come later after you've already milked everything from the bits that fans love. I wouldn't bet on it, but I'd...

    Best Star citizen advert so far?

    Daaamn, that was so good I think I have to go break space law now.

    Angry Joe Show talks about Star Citizen

    I actually visited New Babbage with my starfarer a couple weeks back and, with much difficulty coz I didn't have an inventory large enough to store it, dragged Pico the penguin to sit on my captain's table. Even though I failed a few landings at Lorville, ATC trolling hard as always, I haven't...

    Angry Joe Show talks about Star Citizen

    It is occasionally painful to watch people judge others based on their own misconceptions. To the extent where I'd want to slap them around with a large trout. They talk about it as if it's a cash grab, but it can't be a cash grab if the cash is going into development, like promised. I did...

    Quest 2 vs Quest vs Valve Index vs Vive

    It's not necessarily the resolution that's important, but the distance between the pixels. You can have lesser resolution but a shorter distance between the pixels, which makes for a better experience visuals wise. Secondly, tracking. Index has external towers, which makes for more reliable...

    Carrack --- Another complaint - NuffNaff

    One thing I've learned from flying starfarer A LOT: Land (with 3rd person if need be) -> Open the ramp -> Make sure it opens nicely and doesn't shift the ship, go to the edge of the ramp, see if it's nicely on ground or at least close enough that you can jump it in local gravity -> hop on the...

    Titan Armor Information & Discussion/Theory - Titans Are Coming!

    It'd be pretty sweet if the suit was actually designed to fit through the most common cargo doors. Like at least things you can drive through with Ursa, preferably even a bit smaller doors. I'd be fine with the suit having some secondary mode that made it slightly shorter, kinda like when you...

    Ships and more ships. . .what's the biggest you remember?

    I'd go with Halo, but I'm not sure if it counts... Also can't remember whether it was self-propelled or not. I think it'd at least be capable of turning on it's own. Then there have also been one or two huge colony ships in Doctor Who, not sure of their exact size but one was large enough that...

    The Complete TEST Squadron Mining Guide 3.10

    Oh yeah, I did do this on a napkin over time, not sure why I included stuff like waste which obviously isn't mineable. Well, even if the dynamic economy will change the prices, it's worthwhile to know the base price. I mean, yes, it won't be exact science, but if Quantainium is twice as...

    The Complete TEST Squadron Mining Guide 3.10

    I didn't see anything about expected profit per rock, so here is my little list: Ore Sold for (aUEC) Rule of thumb profit Quantainium 88 1% = 10k Bexalite 40.65 1% = 4.5k Borase 32.58 1% = 3.6k Taranite 32.58 Laranite 31.01 Atlasium 30.6 Agricium 27.5 Dymantium 25.5...

    Montoya's video on the Redeemer - It sucks less.

    Well, if they detect the incoming redeemer 10km out then it'd be no problem, but if it's a situation where the escort formation got pulled out of quantum or that hostile redeemer was hanging out powered down near a outpost or something, then in that kind of situation it doesn't really matter...

    Montoya's video on the Redeemer - It sucks less.

    Hmm... I'm a bit worried that this will just rip through medium to large ships faster than the escorts can respond (S3 shields are just 25k hp per side, so that's like, 5 seconds)... not quite sure where the balance will be, but atm it seems kinda lopsided.
