Yeah I just decided to mine my way to T2, but I’m gonna try a few of those other missions when I get a chance because they seem neat and I’d like to encourage the devs to do more of those sort of things

My next guess was gonna be Air Canada, but I don’t think those elevators are gonna be working soon either

Reply with the following number: 1) Acknowledge 2) No longer in DCNG

NEW — I’ve learned members of the DC National Guard were told they were being activated via a mass text message sent with no warning this evening, less than 24 hours before they were expected to show up.

Here is the full text of the message, shared with me by a DCNG source:

I think Speaker means air conditioned freight elevators, unless he’s doing cargo runs in arena commander

Why can’t you salvage weapons? Is there no additional storage? I thought there was kind of a back area/elevator for that. But yeah Vulture def has more room to play with.

Now that the Fortune will be obtainable in-game I will give that a try, but I suspect I’ll still prefer the Vulture just because it has a bit more utility. I tend to think I’m a MISC/Aegis guy, but I like and have stuff from all the manufacturers too.

Funny enough I’m not a big Drake design fan, but I like the concept of Drake itself. I liked the Cat, while I had it as a loaner it worked well enough, and I do like my Vulture. Maybe I haven’t flown enough of them, but the Cutlass didn’t really do it for me.

Funny enough I’m not a big fan of the design of those (P-52/72) so I didn’t think of it as an extension of the aesthetic, but now I kinda see it. This is much better though imo, I can’t get past the weird midsection donuts on those ships.

I love that they went off the board for a design like this. I’d like to see a couple more “sports cars” and a few more utilitarian Cutter-type designs that are more function than form, too. Always love the “bucket of bolts” sort of vibe, maybe even more than these ones that make me swoon.

Maybe it won’t matter when they come out with an MX version in a few months lol

I’d be super intrigued if it’s just standard mounts behind the fancy mechanisms, or if you could at least swap between ballistics and lasers. Obviously you wouldn’t gimbal anything but it would be much more interesting to me.

I’ll do laser gatlings but we seem to be starting to see a lot of bespoke stuff.

Beautiful lines on this, though, and I love all that glass. Something that makes head tracking really worthwhile.

Fascism before your eyes, and the media won't report it as such.

“Despite crime being at a 30 year low, Trump is pretending otherwise and spending millions a day to have soldiers lounge around DC, doing nothing. He is paying for it with cuts to Medicaid.”.

Thats the headline we should be seeing.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Good job, everyone.

There are now many ideal subjects on the right.
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.” - Hannah Arendt

Tobacco companies paid for those cigarettes to appear.

Fascinating to me that this story has finally shifted in a more realistic direction - that insurance companies are likely to stop insuring - versus the past two decades of constant predictions that insurance would be what finally drove climate action.

i think we underestimate how the combination of engagement-bait social media and cheap sensationalist tv (ancient aliens, etc.) has caused a significant swath of the public to see almost everything as a conspiracy and that’s going to need to be tackled if we’re to have any hope of a better world

CDC employees told me the shooting at CDC was much worse than initial police reports suggested. More than 40 bullets hit buildings. “It’s a miracle more people weren’t hit,” said one staffer who was locked down in a building for hours last evening.

This is where the experience shines!

For me, I have chosen Orison since it first became available, and generally operate from stations, but my first ever experience began in New Babbage, and whenever I visit there I kind of feel like I’m visiting “back home”.

We are not “olds”!!! The words you are looking for are “more experienced”! 😂😂😂

Thank you!

Idk if #StarCitizen folks missed this today but these are gorgeous renderings.

I have to go to a funeral today and I’m the absolute worst at funerals, they bring out every social anxious and awkward instinct in me, and they’re not really the place to deal with all that through humour … especially when it’s a lot of people that don’t know me well.
