    Well, another community goal, another ~16M credits (top 10%). Life is good. Blasting off: HIP 6237 through the VERY tinted bridge window:

    Happy to be of service. :tiphat: Yes, perhaps it's not that bad; it's not like I was vomiting in the theatre. Could have been worse. They could have exhumed him for a reprise.

    Star Wars Rogue One [spoiler thread]

    I quite enjoyed it - much more so than Force Awakens. Vader's dad-tier pun was pretty much the crowning moment of 2016 for me. There's no need to list every niggle here, but what comes to mind: - The psychic tentacle demon scene added pretty much nothing to the film. It served no purpose other...

    Station approach during the current community event: Unfortunately, I missed the holiday one at Santa Muerte and the chrome Eagle skin reward. Wow! That managed to elude me for two whole years of playing. I also recently learned from some guy in local comms that scanning a nav beacon...

    Engine system power doesn't affect supercruise speed, only throttle. Not even ship type has any effect on speed, only manoeuvrability. Funny how that works. Physically smaller than Clipper but with more fuel and internal space. Clipper probably has a hot tub and bar, though.

    The Ewoks Are Dead. All of them.

    This is the best news I've heard all month.

    Gaming Elite: Dangerous

    Players have CMDR next to their name, and their sensor pips are hollow. And it's depressingly common to be attacked while flying a Sidewinder, especially around LHS 3447 or Eravate, because newbie-killing is a popular sport among the aristocracy. Some people will just hang around in a...

    Grinding all those Imperial ranks was very worth it. Hail the Emperor. Bask in Her glory. But the real workhorse here is the Python (and its 280 tonne cargo hold): As you can see, it has been through a lot. The gains compound as you progress. With a bigger ship it becomes almost...

    Nice! How goes this race against the sun, by the way?

    High-res planet textures in archive (tree) format

    I've had the torrents for both Earth and Moon running for twelve days now, and have only managed to get 21MB of Earth and 898MB of the Moon. I can see dozens of seeds on both, but can't seem to download from any of them most of the time.

    There's some falling right now. Hurry up and grab it before it gets gross! Presumably the first image was referring to some other song. Still, not a bad point...

    Gaming The Kerbal Space Program - Version 1.2.x

    Can anyone tell me what's going on here? I can't figure out why this engine is outlined, and can't get rid of it. It's been there for most of this circumnavigation trip and is rather annoying.

    I don't have pictures because I had to go to work, but I discovered several new planets out by the Veil Nebula last night! :)

    Star Wars Force Awakens [Spoiler thread]

    I've just returned from the theatres. My feelings are... mixed. I'll say neutral for now, leaning on positive. A lot of things I liked a lot, and a couple things I really hated. My biggest gripe can be summed up thusly: Han should have worn a :censored:ing condom. Without having it spoiled...

    Gaming Space Engineers (now in BETA)

    That won't help if the system doesn't support DX11, as in MaverickSawyer's case. The game simply will not do planets without DX11, regardless of settings.

    Still at Lambda Crucis. There are a whole slew of brown dwarfs out here. Here's a binary pair of them. Honestly, I'm not sure about influence/reputation. I've barely touched combat, instead trading until I could afford a decent survey ship (Cobra, in this case) and left for unknown space.

    Now bathing in the light of Lambda Crucis. By default it's ctrl+alt+space. If that doesn't work for you, it's somewhere in the options menu as "classified camera".
