Project D - Are you handy with tools and plastic molding?

[Montoya]

The "D" is for divorce because if your wife finds out you are building this to put it in the master bedroom, there will likely be a divorce.

Can we take this?

Then build a pod around it?

There you have your own little Star Citizen gaming pod, so you can attend fleet operations and emergency Bengal defense duty at 4am without waking your sleeping spouse!

You know somebody is going to build this, it might as well be a TESTie!

 

[maynard]

why would I want a pod?

blocking out reality is what the Oculus Rift is for, amirite?

 

[Huegpaynis]

I just have an office that's not in the bedroom. Close enough, right?

 

[Wafflez]

Just cut out the middle man and turn your shed into a scale replica of an aurora....I would but I don't trust myself to build anything whilst drunk....so I never build anything.

There's only one man for this job. That man is BadNewsBaron.

 

[Snowianth]

Divorced few months ago so no problem anymore....

 

[Overlord]

Bah, I have an old Japanese Zero fuselage in my living room instead of a game chair. It really gets my motivation up for crashing into things.

 

[CaptainRichard]

Is it sad that I have one of these collecting dust in the corner of my living room right now?

 

[Hitsugan]

That would require quite some time to make. If a TESTie makes it by himself it should take quite a few months to finish.

Cool!

Would you be able to mount a HOTAS on that?

 

[CaptainRichard]

Would you be able to mount a HOTAS on that?

Yeah, it's adjustable to varying degrees, but the actual stand where the steering wheel currently is would probably be a tad high for a HOTAS.

I'd have to do some cutting and welding to make it spaceship sim chair appropriate. Can I borrow someone's fire extinguisher?

 

[CaptainRichard]

Something like this yoke would probably work better for that style of chair versus a joystick. It's what the Origin 300-series has style-wise.

I've been interested in one of the yoke-style controllers, but I feel like it would be less-than-optimal for dogfighting. Great for space trucking though.

This is actually the issue that birthed the Ugly Yoke.

I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

 

[Sethious]

I volunteer for this adventure. May it be fun and filled with adventure.

@Snowianth sry to hear.

I imagine an old tattoo/barber/dentist chair would make for a good base to build from. They are all adjustable and have heavy bases.

As for the pod section you could make a frame and bend thin acyrillic/aluminium around it. Otherwise a circular plastic rainwater tank of the appropriate diameter with the middle cut out.

I found one of these at an antique shop a couple weeks ago... It was so tempting

 

[ThomSirveaux]

I would totally do this, if I had the space and time. Getting a Master's while working full time sucks.
