Have you seen the trailer yet? Anime eyes in live action looks weird. I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time. I just hope it comes out better on the big screen than it does on my phone.

The bombers have their own gravity field. The bombs accelerated due to the gravity inside the ship. They just kept going after that. Also, if anything from the old books still applies, gravity fields on large ships can extend a bit beyond the hull, so the bombs would start accelerating again...

I'm pretty sure he did the voice for the ship's robot in the movie.

Ok, so I finally got myself a new computer after 7 years of working with my old one. I'm running Win 7 Pro 64-bit with a UEFI bios. In reading about UEFI, I came across a new method of storing boot records to hard drives, GPT, as opposed to the more traditional MBR (master boot record). From...

So, I was at a certain anime convention last weekend, and I stumbled upon this: (Sorry for the blurry image. Cell phones don't always make for the steadiest shots.)

Right, I knew I forgot to mention something. Game wise, I was thinking FSX, maybe some of the DCS games, Old Republic, Starcraft 2, Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite, and of course Orbiter. I did a quick search, and managed to come up with this for $1109 from cyberpower. Case: Apevia X-Sniper...

So, the motherboard on my old desktop died on me a while back and I've been using an older system just to get by in the meantime. I'm finally able to start looking into getting a new machine. It's been long enough since I've looked at hardware components that I'm a little out of date as to...

Well, we got the furnace hooked in to the generator. Managed to not blow ourselves up in the process. Power company has restored service to more than half my town. Unfortunately, I'm not in that group. From what I've been able to determine, they have restored enough to drop the town down on...

Just spent 3 hours on line to get gas for the generator. Temperature is down to the low 40s. In the morning we're going to try splicing in an extension cable into to line for the furnace so we can power the furnace.

I'm in East Brunswick, Middlesex County. Just checked the forcasts. Supposed to be approaching freezing Saturday and Sunday nights. Days should be ok, if a bit on the cold side.

Ok, so we seemed to have faired decently well near my house. The generator has kept the sump pump working, so we didn't flood. Tree fell in the opposite direction of the house. We have enough gas for the generator for now, so our major concern now is the temperature. During the day it isn't...

Thanks for the info. We managed to find a group of open stations. And worst case scenario, we can pull the fuel filter. Gas will just start pouring out until you reconnect it.

Well, according to the power company, we won't be getting power back until 11/5. Right now I'm running off a generator. But, there aren't any gas stations around to fill up. Going to have to figure out how to siphon from a gas tank. We've got 5 cars with full tanks. Just need to get the gas...

Found eludium and lumenite. Turns out it was on another moon orbiting the same gas giant that my starting planet was. It was just hiding on the other side. Finally got my first ship. It's pretty much a dinky litty shuttle, but it carries far more cargo than I can take by myself in a rocket...

I should have some time to check again tonight. If I don't find any, I'll post a bug report. Or, I could always try asking in game. Maybe I'll get lucky and not get another bounty on my head :P

I thought I had it backwards too. Until I went and picked some of it up by hand and it said Lumenite in the inventory.

I've found truckloads of lumenite. I just haven't seen any eludium. It's possible that i've missed it, or just had the bad luck to choose poor landing sites. I think i saw it once on the other planet orbiting the same gas giant as my starting planet, but it was under water. And it was also...

It seems I started in a really bad system. I've been to 2 moons and another planet so far, and no eludium. Any tips on how to find some?

I've been playing around with the spaceship designer. I was wondering if it was possible to make ramps out of external hull components somehow. I put a vehicle bay on the upper level of the ship, and I wanted to have a ramp for ground vehicles to drive in and out. Is there any way to do that?

:jawdrops: Sound Cones. Absolutely amazing. When this is released, I'm hijacking the home theater system for my orbiter flights. 5.1 surround sound on 42" HD Screen? It's gonna be epic!
