    The russian engines on the deltas have been closed cycle engines. They're still under sanctions and ULA has been scrambling to source alternative engines for a few years now. Word is they've finally settled on Blue Origin's closed/full flow engines.

    preburner exhaust from the turbopump maybe? As far as I know the new raptor engines (for the starship) are the only closed/full flow engines spacex has made so far so all the old merlin and vulcan engines must still have some kinda preburner exhaust somewhere.

    Prolly more a QoL thing. There are situations where both power and transport junctions would need to be built next to each other. Kinda weird they haven't made a bridge for transport tubes actually.

    Babylon 5

    My perception of reality is fine. You're just a fucking retard. EVEN OLDER shows than B5 have aged more gracefully...this runs the gamut from the Tom Baker Doctor to ST:TNG. A generation from now BSG will still be smart and thoughtful compared to contemporary scifi shows except for maybe The...

    Yeah it's not actually connected to the rest of the tube network. Replace one of the junction tiles with a regular tube.

    Well even if you were to reduce both shows to religious parable (which you shouldn't), BSG till comes out way ahead as the better show. From the very first scene of the series, from the very first line delivered by the very first cylon showed in BSG, it states the whole theme and motivation of...

    Falstaff was the unsung load-bearing role in this movie though, as he was in the shakespeare arc. Prolly the best rendition of Falstaff short of Chimes at Midnight.

    Yeah you'll need the oxygen for oxylite and eventually liquid oxidizer for rockets. You'll need to build oxidizers just to electrolyze oxygen out of water exclusively for that purpose. Really no such thing as waste oxygen. Again just sequester it somewhere till you need it. Because you...

    Babylon 5

    My point was that Babylon 5 had as much if not more religious mythology in it than BSG. And you just went and summarized all the mythological strains that ran through the backstory---because the MAIN story specifically involves Sinclair being the reincarnated Minbari hero Valen, who was...

    Irritated by religion in scifi? Makes sense. Guess you'll just have to stick the Minbari cancelling their genocide of humans because of their religious belief in reincarnation and an ancient prophecy about a resurrected hero to fend off the return of Z'hadum.

    You DO NOT ever want to lose any resources into space. There's a way to convert every resource on the map into something the dupes will need. Even sour gas. For managing unbreathable gases, you can sequester it in a volume with a door pump since high pressure vents will stop working at fairly...

    You can sequester them in a waterlocked space up to a fairly high pressure. Even heavy tile starts getting pressure damage though... to prevent any pressure damage you want the enclosure to be at least 4 tiles thick. Then it becomes a pump issue... I make a pump that uses a series of...

    You have no idea of what you're talking about, dumbfuck. You're just embarassing yourself with that puerile view of project "management" LMFAO. It's got nothing to do with what the job entails and even LESS to do with what happened to D3's RMAH. Jay Wilson has gone on at length about how...

    LMAO You're a fucking retard. The game directors (equivalent of project managers) for Diablo 3 was Jay Wilson and then Josh Mosqueira, and both have been gone from Blizzard even before D4's development reportedly began. And sure enough, while they were there, they ___DID___ shut down the RMAH...

    Nope, I was just a "real world project manager" for some of the largest capital projects in the world; but thanks for asking. As far your analogy goes, a good project lead would be keeping talent and resources along the critical path according to a formal scope, not micromanaging minutiae like...

    They're gonna have trading but no Auction House at all. It'll be a race to make the first meta-trading app/site. I like some of the trading ideas they have, including having even the most powerful items bind-on-equip or even resellable up to a few times.

    The pick-a-side thing was literally the ending of Diablo3's last expansion. It's exactly where Diablo's story ended. It can only go towards a conflict amongst and between nephalem, since even Imperius and Tyrael knew nothing in heaven or hell could stop the Nephalem. If the pale summoner...

    Slicksters aren't really worth it, unfortunately. They nerfed their petroleum conversion long ago so using them to convert CO2 to petroleum isn't worth the dupe labor and setup if you want them for that. They WILL eat all the CO2 in their volume relatively quickly though. I still use a ranch...

    Have they confirmed that's supposed to be Rathma? I never read the novels but he fits the description from the wiki. Would make sense since Rathma was one of the very first Nephalem, along with Bul-Kathos, Alaric and the druid guy. If that IS Rathma then maybe he just needs her to bring...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    One of the coolest uses of the anthropic principle as a resolution to the Fermi Paradox is that since the universe seems so perfect for us means that we're the first, the last and the only species to rise to intelligence and are destined to colonize the whole universe. Basically, the only way...
