I'm not much into strongly hopped stuff and can't distinguish between different varieties of hops so those types of things are completely lost on me. Also, today I whip up a new mead must. Perhaps I will name it AEGIS.

Propagandist posted:Can someone explain to me why they need to launch ships from a carrier as if they need to pick up speed and create lift? Rule of cool? You could maybe argue that tossing ships out of the carrier fast helps prevent the fighters from being a sitting duck by an attacking enemy. But the next logical thought is "Why the gently caress do they have fighters in the first place?"

War of the Worlds posted:As I wish to defeat detestable fascism and its army quickly, I recommend my invention, KARAR: an armoured light jumping vehicle. The design, tactical, and combat capabilities are as follows.  Design posted:Design: a steel ball-shaped turret, placed on six legs. The legs are the suspension, put in motion by an engine in the turret. The Karar moves by jumping between 5 and 20 meters. The jump is powered by the engine. Its power is transmitted to the legs by clutch A and rocker B. The rocker, pushing against the top of the leg, throws the body of the Karar in the desired direction. Two rockers push on two neighbouring legs, at the time of the jump the other legs are retracted. Before jumping, the turret is turned with the motor. There are six positions for the turret.

Everyone seeking a refund should be refunded for the value of everything in their account, with the only exception being evidence of some kind of money laundering or other monetary fraud.

Any complications about refund value involving ship gifting is a complication CIG presented onto itself by allowing those transactions to occur. Get the full value of your account, or contact the various government agencies if they refuse. California Attorney General, the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, the Federal Trade Commission, and any applicable authorities local to you. https://oag.ca.gov/consumers https://iddweb.isd.lacounty.gov/dca_ecomplaint/ https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

Tippis posted:Quite, and that clip is why I'm not just limiting it to space but extend it to all physics. The problem he's having isn't just one of not grasping zero gravity, but of not understanding the very basics of conservation of momentum. Now, I don't know if the UK educational system was particularly horrible in the '70s, but around here, we learn about that core principle in 7th grade (±confusion over what counts as, and the exact order of, a “grade” in various countries). It was funny watching the vid of them talking about Sataball. Garriott started talking about the interesting ways the physics could work while Chris nodded along and then said they will travel by firing a grappling hook. Garriott explained that firing a grappling hook forward would push you backwards so then Chris explained that it is a LASER GRAPPLING HOOK and Garriott just let it go at that point.

Nope, but if you were mainly dicking around with computers in the 1980s, you were loving around with 'entertainment' systems. I often taunt my parents with their advice to leave the computers alone, as it's now paid for multiple houses. Conservation of momentum and Newton's laws are touched on in Primary school, and expanded out by the time you hit high school. My physics teacher of the time demonstrated such things by using bricks on strings. Roberts is a thicky that managed to get in the ground floor in games when physics simulation was reserved for the BBC B educational physics package.

You realize launching SQ42 alone will make as much as all ship sales thus far, right? And then launching SQ42 2 And SQ42 3 Assuming 2 million sales each. And if it's not good enough to warrant 2 million sales, then it's not worth $150 million and six years. There will be no issues maintaining development and servers if SQ42 and SC are good. They need endlessly more money because CR let the budget run away. CR expects just the single player games they're releasing before the MMO (SQ42 1-3) to cost $150 million. And who know how much more the much larger MMO will add to that.

A long time ago I used to moderate the science section of the UFO Forum on Compuserve. I also moderated the Skeptic section before anyone gets to wild. We'd have people coming in all the time with flying machines and over-unity devices ~ as an aside I got to knock around with some of the guys loving with cold fusion, which was interesting. They'd usually forget something really fundamental, like the effect of acceleration on something squishy with internal organs, or the power density required to do what they wanted to do with local space. I mean, like _really obvious stuff_ after fifteen pages of the most elegant and often wrong math you'd ever seen. Start with Newton and work up to your fusion reactor designs, guys.

Sounds like the QA they've been doing is for a non-LAN Star Marine demonstration. No mention of Squadron 42. Also they updated their schedule report  PTU window is now set to somewhere between today and next Wednesday. Live release is still scheduled for next Friday.

They are running out of regular sci-fi "concepts" and they cant easily sell another ship with the same role without having a part of the community screaming "power creep" before its even released. What will it be ? Another single seater for quick cash or a new "ship as a job/class" big multicrew for the dreamers ? Hospital ship ? Taco truck ? Garbage scow ? Tugboat ?
