    Need input on a new desk!

    Fo sho! Fortunately, the kegerator is just around the corner, so was refilled promptly after the picture was taken!

    Need input on a new desk!

    Well still waiting on the new Monstertech slider in order to mount my HOTAS, but other than that and a bit more cable-tidy-ing it's in!

    Query on flight modes

    Naw, HOTAS absolutely has its place/advantages. All things being equal, I slightly prefer HOSAS when in a small, nimble fighter and HOTAS in larger ships, but honestly if I could only chose one, I'd keep the throttle for sure, for several reasons. Primarily, I find it MUCH more immersive with...

    IAE 2954 schedule

    Not from me! But only because I already have my Polaris, Phoenix, and Zeus MR, and plenty of credit to revive my Galaxy whenever it's ready to make its debut! Oh, and sign me up for Torp duty when get the the Polarii out! I think we should have a Polaris vs. Polaris shootout where we loose all...

    Need input on a new desk!

    @Raven_King : While I love it, this one's not going in corner this time! @Cugino83 : For perspective, is that the 74" or 98" length top? Thanks again all!

    Upgrade time!

    I'm not really sure, more just interested to see what new pops up and/or goes on sale during IAE!

    Zeus vs. Cutlass

    Based on my experience with the Zeus ES *so far,* it fits the general CIG progress where it's a much NICER ship (being newer) and perhaps a slightly more capable ship too, but you'll NEVER get that Drake 'bang-for-your-buck' that you do on the Cutlass. . . Not sure if that helps or not.

    Need input on a new desk!

    I may indeed go that route, but first step will indeed be to find a good local source!

    Upgrade time!

    So I did a thing; with IAE coming up I decided I was sitting on way too many CCUs cluttering up my hangar, so I finally decided to pull the trigger and apply some of them. I'm now committed to keeping the Phoenix and F7A - now with LTI! - in my fleet for good! P-72 and Cyclone may needed to be...

    Need input on a new desk!

    Oooh, OK thanks for all the feedback guys I think I've really narrowed things down now! Unfortuantely: This is quite true, I'm probably only 'flying' a few hours a week, and maybe only about 1/3 of my overall in-front-of-computer time, so I'm leaning heavily towards the table. And I think I'm...

    Need input on a new desk!

    I'm about to move my computer to a different room, and that pretty much means I'm going to pop for a new desk in the process, and I'm having trouble deciding on what to look for. I kinda want to go in the simpit-ish direction, but I absolutely still do a bunch of other more 'normal' stuff on my...

    CCU Chain questions

    This is my plan; go for a good cheap CCU chain to the base ship with LTI, and then grind through the game the way it's meant to obtain the various modules. And since you can't really use EVERYTHING all at once, that makes me feel it's OK to only go for the few I intend to use in the near...

    Argo CSV

    . . .Does it fit IN a Nomad?

    MISC Starlancer

    Though I full expect to be excited about this ship from now until IAE, then go sit down in it for the first time when it drops, take one look out the pillbox slit windshield, and then promptly melt it. . . :/

    MISC Starlancer

    Melted the 10yr F8 to grab a 10yr TAC. Will probably melt it too to grab whatever fun new ~$300 ship comes at IAE, then everything can wait in buyback until it's time to try any of them out! In the meantime, gotta go buy back that Zeus since it IS now in try-out phase!

    SpaceX Catches Returning Superheavy Launch Booster

    Well and the other part of it is because, with SS being so heavy, the booster is jettisoned at point in the flight path in which it CAN still fly back to the launchpad. This is similar to how the two boosters on Falcon Heavy come back and land at the pads at the Cape, but in contrast to a...

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    Based on your previous comments I'd say *probably.* With one person, Corsair is much more versatile for sure. Scorp has two big things going for it, in case either matter to you: 1.) It's probably the best 2-person dogfighter in the game. If you and a buddy want to go get scrappy, that's...

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    Wait, where's your Carrack?!? :D

    3.24

    We need to wait and see where they go with it. Right now it looks like and added time-sync without any VALUE added to the game, which is obviously frustrating. But if this is just one stepping-stone piece to the larger overall phyisicallized inventory structure, then that might be more OK...

    Polaris is in Erkul

    I like this, quite a fun idea!
