TheAgent posted:like there was zero loving shown of the actual, real RTS poo poo gameplay It seemed quite cool from what I've seen of Bobbin Threadbare's LP of it, albeit short. Speaking of other games that are not Star Citizen but are actual games: The trailer for the new Stellaris DLC (which is coinciding with the free 2.0 update that's overhauling a bunch of game mechanics) dropped earlier today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW3YB2ptGws It tells a more compelling story than anything we've seen of Star Citizen/Squadron 42 so far, and without a bunch of A-List actors to boot!

Don't feel that bad, I own both of those, and all three games I mentioned earlier. No Man's Sky is turning out pretty well, but the launch was garbage. The Tech was impressive, but the gameplay loop was fairly shallow and you could actually pretty much do everything within 10 hours. There's a bit more of a campaign, you can build bases and vehicles and generally it ticks boxes for the more stoned sofa player. So I hear.

Benford numbers are the phenomenon of any series of natural numbers _beginning with_ a particular digit occur within a very specific probability, so they use it to find out if number sequences are bs or not.  I was hoping someone would make this comparison for us.

Of course Star Citizen would just induce immediate vomiting due to the framerate so I can understand why it's not been added. EDIT: I just had an image of my head of shitizens on streams just vomiting whenever they play Star Citizen. It'd be fitting.

Legal posted:I mean he is correct. The door itself is not the expensive part of an automatic, security controlled, sliding door installation. What this idiot from the village of extra chromosomes does not realize is that that sliding door unit has a base cost of close to $9-12k. That is just for the hardware. Now you have to pay to have those installed too. Think that's cheap? Tack on another $5k. Oh, we are doing custom fabricated doors and surrounds? That's going to be another $10k. As a professional custom fabricator, I can tell you with absolute honesty that a set of basic custom entry doors are going to start at $3-5k. BASIC doors too. These are not just painted plywood slabs. Not by a long shot. The relief patterns in those doors are milled with CNC precision and are more than likely made of MDF for weight tolerances and flatness with an acrylic 3 stage paint job with vinyl graphics. CNC design time on Autocad and then porting it over to the CNC for test runs will throw about $200 per hr plus materials. There is no backer than donated those as that would have been the first answer CIG would have given when asked about them rather than Ben's fat rear end telling everyone they were made from a garage door opener and some painted plywood. None of these spergs understands door fabrication development.

The really damming number would be whatever their base subscription costs a month. Is it 20 some dollars or is it in the teens? That is where they are getting their most revenue during the often lean times.

Unless you want an annoyingly loud experience every time someone enters or exits you would not use it, not even taking into account the property owners would laugh your rear end out of the building if you did attempt to use electricals not rated for office usage. Garage door opener motors are rated for 10% duty cycle or less, they are not rated for opening and closing all day for 8-10 hours. Nothing better than having the motor catch on fire.

Milling MDF sounds fun, but personally I wouldn't do it; goes hella fluffy, even with a surface treatment. Plywood is a nonstarter for something like this due to tolerances in the track as it is susceptible to movement from climate. You wouldn't hit up a master craftsman but a good custom fabrication shop with a skilled CNC operations unit will do just fine. Milling MDF is actually done all the time as it is not affected by movement and is dead flat and stays that way. The only time MDF gets fluffy is when its milled at the 4th axis and done with HSS tooling rather than Carbide due to speed differentials. Glad to see a fellow goon that knows his fabrication though. Also a laser cutter can't cut the chamfered reliefs in the door like that. More than likely a plunge bit.

Hav posted:The trick was to turn your engines off and use the thrusters to engage once you both met at the same relative frame; or you could buy an imperial courier, load up 50 shield generators and decorate your hull with the finely ground bodies of your victims. You don't have to wait, you're already in the same relative frame. The reason people gently caress up combat in Frontier is because the way their velocity indicator is pointing is relative to Jupiter or whatever and they think they have to get rid of all that velocity in order to move toward the enemy. Hence, jousting fights where they accelerate far too much. Really all you have to do is pay attention to your speed relative to the enemy (ignoring everything on your HUD that indicates your velocity relative to whatever local body), and you can have perfectly reasonable dogfights which involve no jousting at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UMIbdN0UFE This is much easier in versions of Frontier that have been hacked to run on modern Windows (JJFFE, FFED3D, &c), as they allow you to manually control your lateral thrusters. Pioneer does all that and also allows you to ctrl-click on a target to set it as your velocity reference. Newtonian combat itself works just fine; the problem was that Frontier didn't do a very good job of communicating with the player, and actively presented irrelevant information (velocity indicator and space dust relative to the nearest local body instead of the enemy)

As long as the amounts earned extend over multiple magnitudes it should work. And their daily tracker goes all the way from 20k to almost 2 million. As a matter of fact, since they have never gotten more than 2 million per day, you should expect the probability of the numbers starting with one to be slightly above 31%.
