  1. Just to confirm... The title says "XI'AN KHARTU-AL (LTI)" and the image says "Xi'An Khartu-al and 6 months insurance". Which is correct?
  2. Greetings fellow Aussie!
  3. Anonymity is in no way related to legality. That would be like saying a death threat isn't illegal because the person didn't sign their name at the bottom. Having said that, I've done some research into the electoral law and at this stage I can't find anywhere that states that casting an "informal vote" is illegal - I guess this is an urban myth in Australia. While researching I did however find a news article (not from a great news source, but an acceptable one) which mentioned that in our last federal election 20% of Australians either didn't show up or cast an informal vote. So even with compulsory voting, there's not necessarily a full voter turnout (if that makes sense). I think of this episode whenever I go to the polls (singing the song in my head: "Let's get out the vote! Let's make our voices heard! We've been given the right to choose between a douche and a turd!")
  4. We don't have that here. We just write numbers in the boxes next to the name. Someone could theoretically write nothing on the ballot paper and submit that ("donkey voting"), but I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
  5. Mandatory voting flies in the face of what democracy is all about - a free electoral system. It doesn't feel particularly free when you are forced by law to vote for at least one name on the ballot paper... what if they are all terrible?
  6. Welcome fellow Aussie! Oh yes, it's quite the money pit...
  7. Agreed! I do feel sorry for some of the people on the forums though. My approach with ship purchases is: buy the "feel" of the ship. Don't buy one for a single stat, but buy it because of what it's purpose will be and the general idea behind it. All stats can change, but very rarely has the entire purpose of a ship changed.
  8. You raise many good points... I don't own a Phoenix, so I'm not really bothered by this news (I opted for the Taurus), but I guess those people raging are just frustrated that the wrong info was posted in the release.
  9. Apparently an error was made with some of the new Connie stats - the Phoenix has just been updated and it's 4x TR7's have now been replaced with 4x TR5's (max). https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/166723/constellation-phoenix-engine-confirmation-please/p5
  10. When I get back in September I'll give it a good try and report back with my findings.
