Wings_SWMud posted:Yeah, I loved being in EG and getting that sort of thing delivered to me too. I can't, in the end, really feel anything but contempt for jumping ship to go chase that high, though - it just feels so completely selfish. You know, "ok, I've used up this host, better go toss this whole community, structure, thing, whatever I spent half a decade building up aside just like that". I dunno, maybe I'm weird for feeling invested enough not to do that; obviously a lot of people in EG didn't, considering the endless frothing rage about subhuman pubbies etc there was towards the end. To put it succinctly, you joined for the content, but stayed for the people. (I'm much the same way; it's why I tend to hang out with the reavers crew despite having not actually deployed with them in a long time.) But, honestly, there are tons of players out there who will join a group for the people, but stay for the content. I've heard a lot of PL oldies refer derisively to the current state of PL as "j4ping" -- but honestly, it's not an awful thing for line members. It's bad for alliance leadership, though, because it means it's up to you to keep the ping creators happy and active. If a major FC decides to take a break from the game for a few months to play Overwatch, that can turn into a failcascade scenario as soon as the J4P-type players start looking for more content. Look at what happened to TISHU.

From a generic linemember #236 perspective i cant really muster any beef about the alliance, directorate or direction. Anything i ever wanted to do ingame there was a ton of resources, tools and things available. Flying with EG was great and i was sad when i got flushed in a random Dominionix purge but what really killed the game for me was Phoebe and Fozziesov. I spent years making my way through the universe shaking and baking and building up my net worth to aquire capital pilots and capitals, got a carrier and a dread and a super. I got to make like 2-3 drops, had 2-3 good fights with them then Phoebe hit and it was hyper accels and slowboating through gates.

It would be equidistant from its central star at all points but something spinning at 3 million miles per hour cant remain gravitationally stable for long before an outside force like a meteor or comet acts upon it loving up the whole works.

What is this a ringworld pulsar? I thought it was 2-3 thousand mph. Also did I miss a post somewhere what's the avatarwin post in reference to? Edit: I haven't read Ringworld in decades but I think they had guys with thrusters to correct the spin and stuff (that may have been the Ringworld Engineers from one of the books). 2nd edit yes, pulsars go way faster than that.

That would require a god damned poo poo ton of meteor impacts to offset something the mass of a ringworld. We get hit with meteors and comets and poo poo all the time.

That would also assume the impacts were all on one side. But if they're scattered about the radius of the ring, then the overall energy would be distributed equally.

Endie posted:3 million miles an hour? What is this a ringworld pulsar? I thought it was 2-3 thousand mph. Bussard ramjets on the wall edges scooping free hydrogen atoms, the major plot point of one of the books is one of the idiot sub civilizations cannibalized the vast majority of the ramjets to do them some space travel on the cheap and it threatened the ringworld. CainFortea posted:That would require a god damned poo poo ton of meteor impacts to offset something the mass of a ringworld. We get hit with meteors and comets and poo poo all the time. Also this. Even with the unobtanium used in construction the ringworld masses a fuckton. The kind of meteor impact that would end civilization on earth probably wouldn't have an appreciable impact on the ringworld orbit.

so in eve related news stunt had been in FCON's space killing their ratters and demanding ransom, as is his predilection, but FCON was screaming especially loudly because of it and even told their guys not to rat at all last weekend then he and dbrb dropped an asshouse in their space FCON formed 350 guys, batphoned another 350, and dropped 40 dreads on it when it finished anchoring today i don't think i've seen someone freak out that much in a long time

It was a refreshing break from the usual Elsa white noise reddit prose must blot out any and all discussion about things, and we avoided Talladars weekly "Oh dear racists on the internet" bullshit for a while, because yeah that's not the most tired gimmick ever.
