    What makes a game successful to you?

    This is interesting! $0.50 an hour (or even $1) seems like a high bar to set for "good". That means a AAA game is only good if it breaks 50-100 hours? Yikes. Then again, people all have different amounts of time and thus different standards for things like this. I am happy to see some...

    What makes a game successful to you?

    How is play time not a measure of enjoyment? Do people really spend dozens of hours playing games they don't like?

    What makes a game successful to you?

    I want to know. I see a surprising amount of posts (Anthem is the game du jour) that are negative about the game, but then state play times in the 40-80 hour range. I understand this might be to counteract comments like "you never gave it a chance", but that is downright silly. 4 hours is "a...

    [Video] Atlas is proving to be extremely popular here at TEST

    This is the truth of most game reviews these days.

    Highlander Fleet time

    890 Jump. No problem can't be solved with hob-nobbing.

    Hammerhead owners, its time for a group picture!

    Can't wait for the TEST 890 regatta.

    890 Jump Medical Bay Confirmed!

    They have previously stated that the 890J is the closest thing the game has to the original Idris concept, just fancier.

    "Create your own loaner" - Question about melting/buyback.

    Thanks for your help, TEST! Also, my understanding is that it might be available on Boxing Day? It was 2 years ago on Boxing day. We'll see though. The whole "buyback is subject to change" warning did give me pause. I think the Mercury is more important to me than the Glaive. Maybe if I...

    "Create your own loaner" - Question about melting/buyback.

    I'm confused. There appear to be conflicting answers here, and several truly random posts. Also, people seem pretty confident that the Mercury AND the San'tok.yai will release in the next three months? I don't follow development that closely but doesn't that seem incredibly unlikely? I think...

    "Create your own loaner" - Question about melting/buyback.

    Risk aside (I appreciate the warning though).... When you say "the upgrade" do you mean the Hull B -> Mercury upgrade would be permanently lost? Or the Glaive upgrade? I'm okay if the Glaive upgrade is lost (since I'll have a sweet alien medium fighter).

    Kinda bummed about 3.3.7

    Lots of people are probably bummed about losing all the drug running money they made when the Expo loaned them a Cutlass Black.

    "Create your own loaner" - Question about melting/buyback.

    I bought a San'tok.yai. I am not interested in the Khartu-Al loaner so I have come up with a scheme based on store credit I have. I am not comfortable with the melting/buyback system yet, so I want to check if the following will work. I currently have a San'tok.yai warbond and a HullB->Mercury...

    SALE HYPE! What are your fleet plans?

    Rebuilt my Origin fleet, along with some friends. The 315P is probably actually a 325A (I have the CCU, but haven't applied it since 325A is a loaner for the 890), and I have a Hull-B -> Mercury CCU which is just waiting to see which ship releases first. That is an X1 between the cyclone-rn and...

    Anniversary Sale Megathread - See First Post for Links - Ends Dec 4

    Even if this does happen, I suspect old ships won't be sold but new concepts will still be offered. This follows the same reasoning as LTI, which was supposed to never be available again, but is available for any new concept ships.

    SALE HYPE! What are your fleet plans?

    Why did you want an Ursa, especially when you have a Nox and Cyclone already, and seemingly no ships to pack the Ursa into? Seems to me by the time you are buying something that will let you move your Ursa around, buying the Ursa wouldn't be much of a problem.

    SALE HYPE! What are your fleet plans?

    I'm not sure if there are any other changes I should make. I probably don't need the Ursa or the Cyclone, since I should get rovers with both the 600i and the Carrack. I also don't want the Aquila, but it was better than free. I'm considering replacing something with a Prowler perhaps, or...

    The One Ship Manufactuer you just can't stand

    They moved it to 3.5, so the goal is to have it for March-ish? We knew that all along.

    The interior of the new Origin 300 series.

    This is now my favorite ship. Wow. So nice.
