You don't fish. You're a liar. I don't remember exactly what you said back in the golden thread, but I do remember it clearly sounded like bullshit. I do believe that you eat ketchup sandwiches, but I don't believe you fish.

Pic related. What did you catch over the holiday?

hehe yeah. and through it all, they were busy yelling at me for spreading FUD back when I wrote that neither Star Citizen nor SQ42 was going to see a 2016 release.

Fun times indeed.

No you see WW2 combat is perfectly feasible without gravity and drag, but we're going to have to introduce slurm to balance out thrust, and binko to cancel out lift.

You're welcome. A million dollars please.

Edit:


The thing is that it's not technically difficult to produce something that does this, but WoT also handles armor angle and thickness; I'm under the impression that Elite does a stripped down version of this, or did.

here's the war thunder x-ray view of a war jalopy;



Again, I'm a scale guy, so consider that tank 2.8km long with the same size contents. You want the crew to be hit while they're walking around the ship? Problem. Caterpillers....how many internal systems does it have? How much can it survive with? Problem.

They dump these systems when they realize that they're operating on completely different scales to tanks and planes, which don't actually vary that much. This is the kind of thing that you can brainstorm out IF your visionary isn't intent on producing the Red Baron in spaaaaaace.

You bow to the fish before you destroy them with your mastery of the blade.

Maybe Chris should license the Cobra engine and just use it to build his dumb bad game instead of torturing StarYard

That'd at least net us a pretty good reddit meltdown thread
