What kind of 3D printers do they have available? Cura's a pretty good program for prepping up 3D prints; I've used it myself for a few things. Has the virtues of being free and largely platform-agnostic (or at least well supported anyway).

Been playing a lot of Stellaris myself lately; recognized the music instantly. Some definite improvements over the first model.

Back in the day before the carpal tunnel set in and I could hold a joystick for more than half an hour, I used to fly under the callsign 'Microchip'. I don't know why; one of those things your thirteen year-old self thinks of one day and it just kinda sticks. Nowaways, I'd probably fly under my...

Not the first time the comparison between the two has been done - Mark Minasi made it in Secrets of the Wing Commander Universe, IIRC. Was probably a deliberate choice. Looking at the two pictures side-by-side, I'm even more sure it was deliberate...

Ouch, man...

For a modicum of positivity on this thread, I'll say that I still have faith that Star Citizen and Squadron 42 will ultimately be everything I was expecting. Since what I was expecting was the need to seriously upgrade my home gaming desktop, and I still haven't been able to upgrade my box...

Eh, the rank insignia in WC2 is on the epaulets and the pic's cropped enough that you can't really tell. If Blair had been wearing the uniform he was wearing in Tolwyn's office at the beginning of the game (what I assume is a dress uniform), then you'd probably see his rank insignia - it's on...

Looks like a pretty awesome build so far. Engine units are going to have to be relatively heavy to move the center of mass back far enough to give it pitch stability. Yaw stability might also be tricky. EDIT: Never mind; the mass needs to be forward, not aft. Must've been asleep when I wrote that.

G Aw damn, my finger slipped!!! F! F! F!

Man, Thrakhath sounds way more evil in French...

Just now watching this my own self. Was going to report it but I've been beaten to it... @Howard Day, your Bengal-class model got props. Nice to see you get some attribution for once.

Kiranka is at least the name of the royal family, though; that one comes from Secret Missions 2, IIRC. One or the other.

Yep. I'd have to go back to find the sources (pretty sure Fleet Action is the main one) but I was able to find all eight to include in WCRPG. You've got nar Caxki, nar Qarg, nar Ki'ra, nar Kur'u'tak, nar Kiranka, nar Ragitagha, nar Sutaghi and nar Sihkag.

Not really. I found one once but it's been long enough ago that I don't remember exactly where, and I haven't tried since then.

Three boys here. I'm treated to the sounds of ritual sacrifice in the morning Sivar-Eshrad ceremony every day. At least, that's how it would sound if it involved finding matching pairs of shoes...

Bit early for those maneuverability ratings - certainly hope those weren't actual numbers from field testing before she rolled off the line... I'd also be exceptionally concerned about "unlimited afterburner fuel", though my personal experience is with boys instead of girls; I don't really know...

September 1990...eighth grade. Ugh. Smack in the middle of my "life sucks" period from 6th-10th grades. Wing Commander was a bright spot in the midst of all that for sure...

Good morning, y'all. Er...whatever time of day is appropriate. How about I just go with 'howdy' and be done with it... Those of you who are older might remember a game called Starflight, and maybe its sequel Starflight II: Secrets of the Cloud Nebula. I know I've mentioned them a time or two on...

My thought when Carter said that line was an unequivocal "Why the hell not?". RL be damned...

Let's just hope it's not the exact same copy...I imagine it would be quite messy after Joey was done with it.....
