[quote who="Skidia" reply="1801" id="3117277"]That's what I said, honestly, if you hate me, doesn't mean let it die! D:[/quote] I have never indicated hatred for you, merely distaste, and a preference for others. Also, Shiro can stick around too, since I suppose Morph would be down with it.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="1" id="3115889"]Since FTL technology would essentially require something on the order of antimatter to produce the necessary energy levels, we are better off testing it once we have a colony on Pluto. We don't want to blow ourselves up![/quote] I apologize for the double-post, by I do want to address this. Since current theoretical methods are more or less varying between energy requirements of "no idea" to "more than is contained by the universe", with

What I think? What I think is that you are incredibly naive. "Trillions" of a currency doesn't even begin to cover the cost of a hypothetical superluminal propulsion method. Mostly because current scientific thought is along the lines of "FTL=impossible". Einstein's a spoilsport, news at 11. You're also being naive in assuming that we need to find some other Earth-like planet, and the idea that we would need to start doing this *now* when Earth is goi

Nilles can stick around too. /grumbles [quote who="Skidia" reply="1794" id="3115352"]Hey I'm nice, and peaceful. I'm just here to see people that I actually did consider friends.[/quote] Alright, alright, who let crazy back on the Internet?

*facepalm* It looks like we got crazy up in here. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO RETURN?!

[quote who="CmdrNilles" reply="1789" id="3114690"]Is it really true about the cross game bombardment?[/quote] Yes. I even said so. Even so, here's a delicious linky to the clip: http://www.evenews24.com/2012/03/23/watch-ccp-games-dust-514-keynote-in-hd/ It's the first video (both clips are the same, top one's slightly better quality IMO). At about 21:00 minutes in

Been...........playing.........Mass Effect 2/3. Might get a hold of 1 just to do a run through the entire series with the same guy. I've read quite a bit about the ending and its......failings.....and I rather commiserate with them. Also, BIOWARE WHY DID YOU MAKE SAMANTHA TRAYNOR ONLY ROMANCE-ABLE BY FEMSHEP?! WHY NO M-SHEP FOR SAMANTHA TRAYNOR?! We put a man on the moon, and in ME, they freakin' brought Shep back from the dead . M-Shep should be able to romance Trayno

[quote who="Carbon016" reply="388" id="3112459"]its ingame, we turned sins into a flight simulator[/quote] Considering what you guys are doing with this mod, I find this to be a believable comment. Which is AWESOME.

I'm surprised no one has realized that the solar representations are depicted "as shown", so to speak, from the reference frame of phase space. You know, that FTL method which requires Phase Lanes and a Phase Drive? Yeah, that. I'd say that the maps are laid out the way they are because that's how it looks when viewed from the reference frame of Phase Space- which will be more important than a "normal" reference frame- at least as considered from the perspective of interst

Expected subtly sarcastic pseudo-trollpost. Was surprised with PURE AWESOME. +1.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="7" id="3103509"]As if our naval superiority wasn't superior enough. I bet we could fit a few hundred of those on a battleship. Wonder what their bombardment capacity is for land targets. Hope they have a few prototypes ready for our upcoming incursions. [/quote] 1. We probably would only be able to fit no more than ten of these beasts- keep in mind that even though we could fit a lot more physically onto a battleship-size

[quote who="sareth01" reply="2" id="3102588"]Good points all, yet the point of this thread is to really help Brad Wardell flesh out where corvettes should stand in the scheme of things(based upon his recent interview). [/quote] Just pointing this out, but Brad isn't part of Ironclad, and thus, to my knowledge, has no input in Sins development. Brad is a part of Stardock- since he's the CEO- but he's not a part of Ironclad. I'd h

[quote who="CmdrNilles" reply="1781" id="3100965"]Sucker, now just joking. Does anybody know if they are going to have a hard copy? Or will only be on Steam?[/quote] It would appear that Brad, CEO of Stardock, decided to cut off all retail plans- and thus, Rebellion will be Steam-only- for MP at least. I rather wish it would be on Impulse only, but I certainly understand the perspective Stardock has on going with Steam.

[quote who="Xer07" reply="1778" id="3100865"]So, what's this I hear about SoaSE becoming immensely interesting again?[/quote] New Expansion! Titans ships! New capital ships! Corvettes! Each faction split into "Loyalist" and "Rebel"! New game modes! New victory conditions! Overhauled AI! Streamlined tech trees! Capital ship abilities have additional levels (thus allowing the generalized builds of before, or mor

[quote who="CmdrNilles" reply="1772" id="3099515"]Ok, thanks for clearing the infrastructure matter up, now I see what your saying. Its not letting me quote, but about your comment on that we won't ever be able to build fully sentient AI I must disagree. You use that we don't understand the human brain, I believe that over time we will figure out how the brain works. And then, probably at a much later date, we might figure out how to create the AI. Now don't get m

[quote who="CmdrNilles" reply="1770" id="3098756"]But wouldn't the designers want the weapon to be sentient? That the Robot/weapon could analyze and adapt to the situation without outside help. And if left alone long enough, if it had started to ponder around its place in the universe couldn't it lead to becoming renegade?[/quote] The ability to operate without outside input, and sentience, are two very very different things.

[quote who="CmdrNilles" reply="1768" id="3098519"]I recently saw this, and it made wonder if robots will ever gain sentience and oppose us. Needless to say I would be terrified if I ever ran into Big O. Without further ado...[/quote] It's more-or-less impossible to say whether or not AI would be even remotely understandable by humans, let alone an entity which could/would eventually develop goals that were detrimental to humanity.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="3083716"]To be fair Yarlen has dropped several hints that the Vasari loyalists will be able to render planets unusable, perhaps even implied that they will actually be destroyed.[/quote] I was unaware of Yarlen hinting at that. Though I did mention that the implication is that the Vasari Loyalists will render planets unusable.

Time for some quote-fu.
