Last night I was ambushed in my Carrack by a Gladius and a Mole. While I was occupied manuevering to keep the Gladius from being able to touch down on the top deck the Mole attacked me with the primary mining laser and disabled the engines in I believe less than 30 seconds. It appeared that...

The gibbening, has happened, the Carrack is here, and we are, now, living the dream. I cannot say enough about how much the Carrack has met, if not exceeded, my expectations. While I was not a fan of the first looks we had at the redesign after the aesthetically near perfection of the concept...

Character is hyperventilating and dies within 20 seconds of spawning in at ArcCorp. Looks like lack of O2. Ideas? 'Gimp

So I have been away from SC for a bit, 8-ish months to be exact. I watched the gameplay demo from CitizenCon and must say that more than any previous demo this one impressed me most because it finally showed a first person walkthrough from one planet to another in an entirely different star...

So got up this AM to find a Connection Error from the Launcher - I am sad face. The girls' cat woke me up at 2 this morning so I downloaded the latest launcher and started the update, I know it had gotten through at least 4GB of the ~40GB update when I went back to bad around 2:30AM - but...

Hey guys, been a while - curious if we can schedule the download for SC updates? We moved to a new place in the country 7 weeks ago and are now on a 5G WiFi internet service, we have free bandwidth from Midnight to 6 AM and I want to set SC to DL during that window (~40GB DL) without having to...

Do yourself a favor and get to yourself to Teasa Spaceport, and take the elevator to the Idris Pavillion, just do it. OMFG, I thought the Reclaimer was big - nope, no it is not. Idris-M, Idris-M is big, and it looks maaaahvelous - sorry no pix client crashed and I woke up at Port O, again -...

This was pretty cool. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA6P2WserfU 'Gimp

The pro’s – the flight and space sequences were very well done, good attention to detail and period correct as best as I could tell. Sound design was very good for these sequences as well. They were good but, IMO, no better than Apollo 13 or The Right Stuff. The con’s – Ryan Gosling’s portrayal...

So, I have noticed that more than a little often I have mouse problems, specifically if I hit 'F' in order to interact with ship systems in say the SpacePenguin, I am sometimes only able to see across an arc from left to right, in other words I can only 'look' from the middle of the screen/FOV...

So I have some weapons and a shield generator I purchased from Voyager Direct I think a couple years ago, don't think if I am using them anymore, is it worth it to melt those, and if I did that would be store credit or UEC not aUEC, right? 'Gimp

Because my time back in has been awful. New gaming rig is running great but same BASIC, foundational gameplay issues remain, and now can't jump anywhere without multiple asteroid and pirate encounters along obvious shipping lanes, and I just got doubleteamed by a couple pirate Gladii trying to...

OK, so had a to take a break from SC after my disappointment with 3.1. While off I have been playing the hell out of DCS and that resulted in a new build, now rocking Gigabyte A370 HD3 MoBo, i7 8700K at 4.8 GHz, 32GB of 3000 MHz DDR4 (going to 64) and a GTX 1070 Ti. In DCS I have become...

So I finally wrapped up physical therapy on my knee after ACL reconstruction, got my medical certificate back, and flew my first formation flight since December - so much fun, great to be back in the cockpit. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n92NfHB8vZE&feature=youtu.be 'Gimp

So, I transferred my account, copied and then deleted the User folder, installed the new launcher, got the special password, and yet can still not log in. Something always happens with these new loads but I forget what I did to make it work. Ideas? 'Gimp

While waiting for the official F/A-18C Hornet I broke down and bought the AV-8B Night Attack Harrier II that the Marines use, very complicated as it has many of the same systems and sensors the Hornet will have, AND it is vertical takeoff and landing capable so a real challenge on all levels - I...

So, the current state of SC is such that I am holding off on playing again until 3.1 as I have figured out most of what made 3.0 cool - in the meantime I have been playing the shit out of the DCS World 2.5 open beta using a community mod F/A-18C Hornet. Yesterday I created a self-escort-strike...

This was fun.... View: https://youtu.be/dNHuqpvLF5Y 'Gimp

OK, so too many of the squadrons/groups I am finding in DCS World are a bit too stick-up-the-ass'y for my preference. I want to have fun, learn/teach basic fighter maneuvers, formation, aerial-refueling, carrier operations, air combat maneuvering, and such, in a not so serious, more TEST'y kind...

This just in, my lowly FX-6300 and GTX 1050 Ti will run SC at 4K, very high at 15 FPS, AT PORT OLISAR!! It was just a short test since WifeyGimp and I are going out to dinner shortly but holy F'ing cow, 4K at 15 FPS, at Port Olisar. I already run FSX at 4K and run DCS at 1440 which is where I...
