Hahaha Aleaf.

Remember to be sure that your desired cooling system can handle an overclock. The 650 is crap. In all reality most things that are a x50 are crap when you compare the bang for the buck of a x60 version. Grab a 660, 670 (if you can find one) or a 760 if you're going geforce and are trying to stay cheap. 780 or better if you can blow some more cash. If you are wanting to future-proof for SC, you'll want something a bit beefier than a x60 or x70. R290 is supposedly best teraflop per $$ but I haven't looked at the pricing for awhile and some things may have dropped from nvidia, so maybe the 780 is a good bet?

Goons are out. I already am planning on outsourcing my Casino enforcement and debt collection to them. Shouldn't have a potential conflict of interest, should we?

Even if there were a tax on Imperium members, this is not an unprecedented move in games. EvE online has a very robust taxation system that is utilized by literally every fleet I have ever interacted with there, and serves to help maintain assets related to fleets in general. I am honestly baffled by this taxation fascination that people have with this game...It's not like this is a new concept.

What other games are Imperium members playing?
Chimaera replied to Doyzer's topic in General Discussion
Depends on the day. Players also like to coordinate and communicate via the steam group, I've gotten some games through that way. Also have a fair bit of SC2 that people play. -
Going to echo what has been said up above, but add one other thought. Constellation is, by far, the best bang for the buck regarding size and customization, but it actually requires more than one crew. Whether it's NPC crew or friends, if you're wanting to be able to do what you want solo, the Connie will do what you want, but you need to be sure you're adequately crewed. My second choice for what you've said would be the Freelancer and possibly the rumored Missile variant of the Freelancer. You can fairly effectively handle Freelancers as a solo pilot with an AI crewman and you don't suffer too much as opposed to trying to do the Connie with a full AI crew (possibly). If you're looking for an overall mini-fleet, I would buy an Aurora LN package to start, then wait for the FL variants to come out and grab the one you like best. After that, wait for the Connie variants to come out, then do the same, and then wait til you see something else you KNOW clicks for you. The Merc gunship could be exactly what you want, but it's not been developed yet, and if you don't grab an Alpha slot package soon, they may dry up, so at least get an Aurora LN package.

I'll be on it, thanks to a buddy. -
Go Vote on whether you want the Mustang now!
Chimaera replied to flashbolts's topic in General Discussion
I think what Ostia is probably saying is that if they "give in to the demand" for the Mustang right now, there will be that added pressure (possibly even from pledgers sending in another wave of support tickets) to get the Mustang into the hangar and get working on the flight mechanics of it so it can be in the DFM as one of the starter ships to fly. If that were to happen, it would most certainly push back the DFM. I'm not saying that IS what he means, but that's how I interpreted his comment. -
Go Vote on whether you want the Mustang now!
Chimaera replied to flashbolts's topic in General Discussion
One thing to remember, we all may have different opinions and reasons, but we're just a group of the pollsters. Whether or not they do release early for a limited release doesn't matter, since it will be available as a starter ship anyway-this isn't like the Vanduul. -
Go Vote on whether you want the Mustang now!
Chimaera replied to flashbolts's topic in General Discussion
Like I said, I didn't vote "no" for selfish reasons, @Kellso, I did it because I prefer to use my opinion to not set what I think is a precedent for them to show concept art, be bombarded with demands for a sale "Just like you did with the Mustang!" Like @Strawberry Milk said, they have been inundated with support tickets about this (from their article), and as someone who's worked a support ticket system before, the LAST thing you want to see is a bunch of tickets unrelated to actually needing support. I can see how this could easily spiral into a cycle of inundating their system with support tickets every time people want something to be on sale, hence my '"no". Nothing selfish about it, as I would actually BUY this one, most likely, to gift to a buddy. -
Go Vote on whether you want the Mustang now!
Chimaera replied to flashbolts's topic in General Discussion
I voted no for the specific reason that, if they do this right now, the community could effectively take this as carte blanche to demand that other concept art ships like the new Destroyer they showed be put up for sale. That's my personal reason, though. There are arguments that can go both ways that are valid, and I know many disagree with me, but that's my opinion. -
I agree to an extent, but I don't think it would be fair to any of our guys to find a jump point, map it, and not let them have the ability to name it because we "want to keep it secret", so...maybe? But in general I don't think we're planning on restricting any information.

Someone who wants to haul more cargo or use missiles? Generally I see the Aurora as the PvE/Hauler player's ship, while the Mustang looks more like the PvP/Merc style starting ship. Depending on if they release a package that grandfathers in LTI, I may grab one just to have it, but I have too many other better ships to get an Aurora.

Chimaera replied to Roy Urquhart's topic in Imperium Embassy
That is awesome, Roy! It doesn't, however, preclude us from arranging even more robust relations. If you're interested let me know when you're on TS on average, or PM me if you all have an idea of what kind of arrangement you're looking for with Imperium.- 44 replies

I'm not in Oz, but I'm in Hong Kong, so I am sure I'll be seeing you online.

I'm torn. It really looks sweet, and in the video, CR was talking about how the idea was that the Mustang would have less native cargo capacity, so I think it'll depend on what you want. Do you want a cheap, almost throw-away dogfighter with a gimballed chin gun (basically an Avenger-Lite), or do you want something more flexible, utilitarian, tougher, and with missiles (Freelancer Lite)? Since I don't have an Aurora anymore, and I didn't like some of the basic design elements of the Aurora, I may snag a Mustang when they bring it into the hangar so I can see what the cockpit view and structure of the overall ship is like. If I like it, I'll keep it. If I don't, I'll melt for something else later.

Worthy Kickstarter for Wing Commander fans
Chimaera replied to Chimaera's topic in General Discussion
@KlasseTYP the 9.5 minutes is if he only gets $35,000. Honestly, no idea why he's not in on it. Maybe copyright issues or personal issues with CR? -
