    Hanger pass?

    Did all of the hangers that we bought suddenly change to a hanger pass? I'm not sure, this seems like a good idea but what happens to the hanger flair? Is it now Captain's quarters flair?

    Industry Mining safety strategy

    I'm slowly working out some fleet make up we can use when mining gets serious, like using a Prospector and MOLE in support of an Orion, and what other protection the fleet needs etc: but things about the Orion are theorycrafting at the moment. Meanwhile, we have the MOLE and Prospector to...

    Queen Elizabeth II passes

    Mostly for members from the UK and Commonwealth countries, but she had a lot of respect and admiration from other countries. Rest in peace, Your Majesty. This might be the cause of a lot of debate in the Commonwealth at least, and potentially in the UK. We'll see.

    3.2.1 patch frustration

    This is a kind of rant. With the kind of things I've been seeing in SC patches over the last two weeks, I'm beginning to think that the developers are under project management pressure to take short cuts and deviate from industry standard best practices - like unit testing, and integration...

    East Coast Weather

    You folks in the path of that Nor Easter, please take care. Don't go out if you don't know how to dress for that kind of weather. It's more dangerous than you think if you haven't experienced something like that before. I just don't want to hear that anyone died of exposure, or broke their...

    Squadron patch 1960's style

    I had some free time today, in between figuring out how to model parts of a dynamically defined form - so I began doodling and came up with an idea. This is a digital re-construction of the general appearance of a US Air Force style Squadron shoulder Patch, made from combining elements of some...

    S.C. Audio Conflict (with solution)

    I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here on the off-chance it helps someone someday. Yesterday I discovered I couldn't run Star Citizen. The launcher starts fine, but clicking Launch Game did not work. I got just a loading screen. game would not run. I checked the RSI site, and...
