In other news, I met another family who escaped both Donbass and Russia. Their stories are pretty grim. Guess "nice stories" in that context / from that area are pretty rare / non-existant these days. A few days ago I read about this situation (russian family tried to escape mobilisation) https://t...

Ich habe eine Reihe Schiffe mit Zähigkeits-Mod, denen passiert nichts. Und wie es irgendwann angezeigt wurde, sind die roten Bereiche sicher. Was genau meinst du mit "die roten Kreise"? Die Gefahrenzonen sind durch große rote Kugel (="Kreise") sichtbar wenn man weit genug rauszoomt bzw. den Sektor ...

Big ships (L, XL). I'm in this game to see my turrets firing and watch attacking ships exploding.

I hate the S ship phase (only use them as shuttles and for the very early phase) and the M ship class in this game is the worst ship class in the whole series. (pity, used to fly them a lot in X² / X³)

Did some missions in Necromunda: Hired Gun after all these years. Still a very beautiful game

Kurz gesagt - ja. Eine sichere Route musst du ja im Zuge des Boronen-Plots finden, und nach dem Plot bewegen sich [alle] Schiffe auch nur dort bzw. in den sicheren Routen durch den Sektor. Der Sektor ist definitiv tabu für Mining und "freie" Schiffsbewegung. (du willst auch nicht in einem Mako mal ...

Das hört sich ja furchtbar an.... Hab die Beta noch nicht probiert aber wenn alte Hasen wie chew-ie das Spiel ins Archiv legen.... :( Ich würde das erst mal nicht überbewerten - die Crisis in ihrer aktuellen Form sind absolut inkomaptibel mit meinem Spielstil. Und da sie der erste Content "für mich...

I wouldn't read too much into that. The english VO was always computer generated (at least to my ear and / or when comparing it with the German VO) - might be just the need to label that nowadays accordingly. Betty is voiced just like any other character, its just pre-recorded lines that are arrang...

As it stands it’s just a nuisance to the player So is the Tide, although one can choose to play a playthrough without ToA. PHQ in Heretics sounds like a nuisance, but again, one can choose to start a playthrough without KE. There are two topics: Is "crisis" part of what the X Universe is, or a trea...

To me, Russia "bombed" itself back to the stone age when invading Ukraine. And it is working hard to convince the rest of the world that it became a savage and has no interest in playing nice with anyone. Even "allies" are only a means to an end. If the russian people aren't standing up soon they ha...

I don't get it, either. They could really use some UI changes to deal with the huge list of paint jobs you can potentially own (sort by name, brightness, reflectivity, predominant color's wavelength, ...) but anything is better than having all those nice paintjobs locked off. Getting those paint jo...

Been playing Freespace 2 again, not played it in ages. Using the Knossos.NET mod manager, and the game plays smoothly. (You do need a retail version of the game, steam or gog or the disks if you got them) plenty of mods for the game, and a few total conversions. Been playing the FS1 port with media...

What options do the Ukrainians have?

As long as Ukraine decides to stay in the fight there will be options. As it stands right now Russia keeps attacking everyone, Ukraine is just the visible part.

That was quick - yet another "make it optional" for CBJ

Don't use mods with the beta. This is the number 1 reason for this behaviour.

Custom start exports can be edited to grant any paintjob in any number without getting a modified game. I usually use those to give me all of the 190+ skins with an amount of 10.000. (details in my signature, the "Feature request" link).

Obviously, this needs a fresh start though.

Over the years i have wasted lots of time trying to advocate for certain changes. Writing walls of text was fun but rarely ever successful, even when it was only about minor suggestions. People sometimes want to rationalize and ignore your valid argument and there is nothing you can do. All that ti...
