    Not far from $500 million in funding UPDATE - 500 Mil hit

    What do you mean? It is all English. 🙂 Actually it is. If you're inclined to have your eyes glaze over, just read the last paragraph. A zbuff is shorthand for Z axis buffer. The depth buffer. Look around you where you are. Your monitor is overlapping the wall, and your table overlaps the...

    Not far from $500 million in funding UPDATE - 500 Mil hit

    This is a prime example of where "It's Alpha" is absolutely not an excuse. In real time software, preloading objects is not an option, it's a must do. There is a kind of workaround we can use, that is to open the elevator door, and if what is behind hasn't rendered then let the door close -...

    Satellite internet .

    I have used geosynchronous satellite, I still have an account but I haven't used it for 2 or 3 years. It isn't fun to do anything that otherwise requires real time. I'm locked into that contract for another 2 months. For me it's better to use a cell phone link even with the limits. I'm...

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    If you're correct, I have 3 of the finalists, including the one you pick for first place. cool... only unless they get black with yellow highlights, I'm unlikely to use them. More hanger queen skins.

    Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Amazon TV LOTR series)

    You're the expert here in movies, I'm just the audience. Try this. compare a map of middle earth drawn by Tolkien, with a map of Europe 40 to 20,000 years ago. The resemblance is striking, even though Prof. Tolkien was using just conjecture made by HG Wells (who he knew.) Pay attention to...

    Ship Showdown 2952!

    Early returns, but the Carrack is 3 to 2 against 400i so far.

    Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Amazon TV LOTR series)

    I have to agree, it was visually really well done but the story itself is not compelling me to watch more. I'm going to, I just am kind of on the fence. One thing I realized though, as told so far this is part of the story of the Hobbits, though not so well portrayed, Gandalf (maybe but...

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    Thanks. I voted for the Terrapin so I might even get more perfect overnight. ... and look! even CIG is perfect... Edit: Technical but short. The issues above are related to malformed cookies, and are probably safe. They'd have to have whoever wrote the website to check. But there are...

    Hello from an Origin fanboy!

    Welcome to TEST! A lot of us consider crashing to be a skill. I for instance, have become very proficient at crashing a Prospector into almost any moon.

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    Don't worry, I'm maintaining my average so far. 0/2 isn't bad.

    Ah, perfect! Well done - How much more before you have your starting amount?

    On the topic of black and gold skins, this custom TEST Eclipse needs to be a thing!

    That red spot better be a seat, but if so it could be black.

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    CIG did not create any particular ship to be hands down better than all the rest. They are doing balance passes every patch to make sure. I think you might need to get your head out of erkul, and actually get into the game to see. The Pisces is not designed as a combat fighter. It is designed...

    My prediction for the Ship Show Down

    I think people here who are hoping for the 400i are on the right track, but there is enough pushback on Origin's pricing that Pisces is going to win between the two. For the same reason, if the MULE isn't ousted by the Pisces and wins instead, then 400i vs MULE and MULE would win - and it...

    Hey all from 00LeviCivita

    Welcome! Looks like combat with some trade and exploration potential, and maybe a little er elicit cargo? Nice, not bottled in!

    Upcoming Subscriber Flairs (Updated regularly)

    I like these! For some reason, I like armor that actually looks like it would be functional in space.
