Game changer for Test Squadron, and not in a good way :(

[Carlos Spicyweiner]

It's fine! We just launch from a space-station and crash into a system nearby! We have more power (beer) than NASA, so we can do it even if they can't :)

That sounds good, and yer a pfisics dude, right?

 

[Carlos Spicyweiner]

Stop speaking Latin. Both of you. These words you're using, they make no sense.
Ha.

What's the Latin word for beer?

q-drive with a little kentucky windage and we'll totally hit the sun. pish, nay-sayers.

To compensate for orbital spin, I'll be drifting my Aurora into the Sun, kinda like this:

 

[Gneissnoggin]

Orbital Spin? Is that what is affecting my walking when drinking beer? So to compensate I need to drink more beer to get rid of the effects of orbital spin before pointing towards the sun....

Well y'all can spend all your time trying to crash into the glowing orb of knowledge. Me? Well I am going to run extensive tests to see what happens when you piss out of an airlock. This project is entirely dependent upon the success of my new Glory-Hole airlock door that I've been designing. Its going to be a revolution in Aurora comfort (Not to mention a paradigm shift in picking up hitchhikers) Exciting times, frozen foreskin. FOR SCIENCE!

LOL love it. that reminds me of the first time I took my 4 year old into a public restroom, I walk up to the urinal and my son asks why I`m peeing in the sink. then hearing a chuckle from one of the stalls. lol I love this kid.

Yea, we are not doing this from a planet so we dont have to be traveling at 65k mph to escape the Earths movement, we would be in space so this doesnt apply to us.

 

[Stoutman]

I have a Starfarer so I can gas up anyone running low as they are maneuvering into position. No worries.

This method the solar probe is using is a efficient way to decrease speed the earth is travelling so it can slow down greatly and then change direction to the sun orbit.

To quote someone else though:



For star citizen our ships have much larger amounts of fuel at our disposal and we aren't trying to escape earths orbit either so full burn towards the sun wouldn't really be a challenge for us.

:p

Too much book science!

I've actually been using the dragonfly paired with a taco-only diet to create a new defensive technique. Smoke screens are nice and all, but they don't work too well in space. Go ahead and try to tell me that pirates would want to pursue you through a cloud of liquid shite....you can't, cuz they wouldn't. I call it the Tijuana Squid maneuver.

Now this is TEST science.

What's the Latin word for beer?

Bersabee, cervisia, fermentum

Orbital Spin? Is that what is affecting my walking when drinking beer? So to compensate I need to drink more beer to get rid of the effects of orbital spin before pointing towards the sun....

More TEST science!

One more time, because I love it!

Hopefully this is sensationalist nonsense, but if true it will seriously impact our planned style of play. The following article and associated Youtube video should only be read/viewed by those of stern constitution.

...or those fortified by beer. Lots and lots of beer.

That is daunting. But once the mass (gravitational pull) of the packed Auroras full of Testies and beer exceeds that of the earth, it becomes much easier!

Phew, and I initially thought you are planning to leave TEST. Anyone of you "core TESTies" leaving TEST - *that* would be a game changer. Anything else I can handle ... :)

 

[rogesh]

Well we just have to do it like they say in the video.... Go really far out fly the other direction of the planets orbit press that tab thing and fly directly at the sun. No?

 

[Thugari]

With our shit posts, and Montoya Physics, we will make it happen.

Amen brother.
Oh, and many beer farts. For extra propulsion.
