Be sure to join the Ramming Club once your in game.

We have been experimenting a lot and we have found a method that give a roughly 90% success chance to put a Constellation in a physics glitch "Deathspin" by clipping it correctly with most single seaters (including the Aurora).

More fun than just going Kamikaze as a one shot.

To OP, I think it is indeed a problem, that game-devs are scared to make a move where they actually give females the disadvantages that they physiologically should have; like not being able to sprint nearly as fast for instance, or hit nearly as hard in hand to hand combat. In this case, it would not even have to be done to a large extent, just enough to make people consider whether it's worth getting a female character solely to the smaller hitbox - after all this way, there are a few drawbacks.

Well, to answer that question...

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:

Beer! Bootcha!

I know that I'm just a random white noise poster, but I've been following these threads since the refund one that you posted anyhow.

I hope that my question isn't too personal and my apologies if so. I was wondering if before you were exiled by CIG, would you have counted Lesnick among your friends? Lately I notice you trouncing on him quickly (and deservedly) so I'm assuming there is no love lost between y'all now.

It just has me wondering how possibly Lesnick is losing friends and relationships, and if he even cares because there are a hundred sycophants to fill the void. Like LOL at this game because from the outside looking in, this game has done absolutely done nothing but ruin lives.

Just some thoughts I had last night when the power was out...~

I honestly don't know at his point.

He was a likable man, and a fellow Wing Commander nerd. We treated each other with mutual respect. I checked up on him and Alexis to make sure they were doing fine, giving him an excuse to look away from the computer and take a breather. He invited me to his wedding which I sadly could not make.

I have no goddamned idea as to the company he keeps other than his brother out in LA, and/or how often the CIC guys check in with him in person. I don't know if fans count. I have no idea as I've never been in that kind of situation. I mean I've had people come up to me and say "Thank you for your service/Thank you for serving" off my old Army stickers on my truck. But he has actual fans, and I can only assume that fan praise, just as "Thank you vet" praise, is fleeting and passes quickly. Hecklers on the other hand stick with you for a long goddamned time.

As I mentioned long ago, while I was going through the process of extracting myself from CIG, Ben was in town and said he owed me a dinner at least for moving that giant WC4 prop to the office. I had to decline because that was a conflict of interest. It hurt me to do that, because I do like Ben, but as fuzzknot and many of you would agree, that meetup would have been a BAD thing for me and for him. Hell I can't allow myself to go to Bar Citizen in Austin, because I'd rather not put myself at risk of a heavily invested fan taking out his persecution on a known inconsequential face and me having to show who's both an active hockey player and former paratrooper.

At the end of this project, would I consider Ben a friend?

I have no loving clue.

I doubt he has one either.

Funny, in an earlier post I was going to mention my experiences with the Army. Not regarding "thank you for your service" poo poo, but the feeling of sticking with a job even though you hate it to the core of your being and all, and how I can sort of empathize with Ben (in a vacuum, his actions negate a lot of my empathy)

It's basically an excuse to go get drunk at a bar and sperg about spaceships with other spergs.

It used to be fun. This was, of course, before anything was released, so we discussed/debated/argued about space sim mechanics and social poo poo based off other existing games.

These days all discussions are based off the dream that's been promised by CR with everything before being "inferior".

Ultimately, :lesnick:'s future as to him and CIG and this whole cult is not yet written with an ending. Like I said, if one day he just decides to leave it all behind with his wife, get a different job (even if it's a lower-placed one or paying one, if it can make ends meet it should work which is what matters most), and just blow the doors wide open on what was going on from the inside...

...like, that would be a huge recompense for the legit stuff he has done, that has promoted very unhealthy and lovely behavior on the part of thousands of the cultists.

But I know that's not likely to happen so...put it another way, right now I can't see him with that much sympathy. I just can't and usually that's my first reaction with most people, even the lovely ones. As Hillary Clintons Thong said, in a vacuum I could, but put into context I have little sympathy for anyone who drowns in poo poo that they themselves have massively helped to form and fester. However, were those actions of his to change...that dynamic would no doubt also change.

Well, why would they want to let anything from the outside in, when they are sustained by true believers to the tune of 100+ million dollars?

I also think that you are giving Ben too much credit, he seems to handle everything pretty lovely and I don't have much sympathy for him. I don't get the point of being all "Well, he spit on my face but he's probably under a lot of stress..."

As I said I'm not a fan of the way he treated me. I suspect a massive part of my tolerance for his attitude was a result of believing in the project and genuinely wanting to see it succeed. I just kind of accepted who he was and how he acted in spite of all the condescension he directed my way. Maybe my brain is coated in Teflon or something because stuff like that rarely bothers me.
