    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    You guys are getting wrapped up in some very specific corner cases. I know in my driver's ed the mitigation strategy to avoid nearly all collisions is to slam on your brakes. I imagine that's the planned directive for almost all crash-related scenarios. I've personally avoided some nasty...

    Pretty sure it's like those farmville friend requests you get from fat bitches you know on facebook. If you use the referral code Mist gets 5% off on some virtual space weed or something.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Nobody thought it would be simple. Google is trying to solve the whole shebang in one go, but most OEMs and tier1s are trying to just solve cruising on freeways. Tesla already rolled out their super-cruise system. Here's one preventing a really bad accident: For a human driver this is a...

    Sure, but the entire purpose of this venture is to reduce costs. If they find out that building a re-usable rocket and refurbishing it everytime is more expensive than building a one-shot rocket, well, that'll be disappointing. I don't think that's the case though. And I'm sure they've put a...

    That's one of the big questions I think everyone has. Now that they've landed it, what will it take to make it launch-worthy again? I have to imagine there are a lot of engineering decisions made to minimize weight based on the assumption a rocket is only used once. Having to reinforce...

    Speaking of which, is there a breakdown on how much this reduces cost of delivery?

    So cool. I'm super-pumped for this and hope this enables the kind of cost-savings for LEO delivery that Elon is hoping for.

    Thanks for the answer. I think the difference between us is A: I don't think a permanent, self-sustaining base on mars is feasible in the next 30 years. B: I don't really value a longitudinal study on the effects of low gravity or radiation on humans. C: I think whatever mars-base projects we...

    Does the game world in AO reset after some period of time (Like Crowfall)? Because that's the best way to stop us from dominating a server to eternity. There is a lot of other stuff you can try, but whatever it is won't matter. The cream will rise to the top!

    Oh. Well, I doubt it's going to be jedi knight. Or rather, I doubt it will make me FEEL like a Jedi Knight.

    Who do I have to pay for a new Jedi Knight game?

    Jedi's Uncharted Creed? As in Jedi Knight + Uncharted + Assassin's Creed? Sure. As long as the gameplay is similar to the previous games. As in, when I see high-level gameplay it better look like Qui Gon Jinn fighting Darth Maul or the TOR cinematics. Not some stilted, slow, target-based...

    There is no tipping point, just a comparison of value between asteroid mining and mars landing. Trying to grow space weed is cool, but is hydroponics really the limiting factor in space exploration here? Do we have the tech for self-sufficient mars/moon colonies? What about the moon/mars would...

    All those hours are fine as long as the gameplay you're doing to get it is fun. That's the core problem I have with Albion and the biggest fear I have for Crowfall.

    If helium3 ever becomes so valuable that a stable moon base would make sense, it seems like we should make a moon base then. Who knows if and when it'll happen, and it'll likely be a lot easier to do later.

    With our current technology, what would colonizing Mars do? What is the upside? Sure we'd learn a lot doing it, just like when we went to the moon, but what is the direct upside to Mars? The upside to asteroid missions is unmistakable and clear. We start corralling asteroids, we start...

    The power curve being long doesn't bother me as long as: 1. Items drop on death. 2. The game resets. 3. The power curve isn't too steep. I remember those being true before, have they changed.

    I am afraid of what will happen when my kid starts repeating my mannerisms and make everything I say seem old and/or childish. It's like, you've taken so much, child, do you really need to take that from me too?

    I get why the honda civic wouldn't (I love my honda accord btw), but the ferrari should. As should a racing or fighting ship. I'm just wondering if they've ever answered that question. Even if they had a compelling answer I wouldn't care. I think it makes for bad gameplay.

    Did CIG ever give an answer for why forces acting upon the player are a problem in a game where gravity controlling technology is a thing? I don't know what bullshit they made up to describe how they can have gravity on space ships, but I'm guessing they have tech that emits a gravity field...

    I think my initial hip shot of 2 minutes is still too long. UNLESS there is real gameplay involved. If you're doing a hot landing on a pirate planet with atmospheric threats you can avoid (giant mosquitos, pterodactyls, whatever) I don't mind having a prolonged landing time. Just like I...

    You're right. But the way he talked about his "qualified success" makes it sound more hopeful than it should be. I also never understood how it got the FEV anyway. Was it a lab accident? self injection?
