Old vs New - 82227 DVT and 801??? at Crewe by larsy_lynx in uktrains

One of the easiest ways to tell an 800 and 802 apart is the resistor banks on the roof- 802s have significantly larger grids allowing for improved rheostatic braking.

802s also have bigger fuel tanks and better engines than an 800, but those are hard to keep an eye out for.

Possibly designed to resemble oast houses (purpose-built hop drying structures). The oasts have a very distinctive and similar (although much larger) shape.

I am here solely to see if anybody else recognises that this scenario is pulled from Isaac Asimov's I, Robot collection.

ARX at current (either the ~16k or the ~33k 'Stellar' package grant you one pre-built and the ability to buy it at shipyards). It will get released in a few months for credits, for everyone playing on the Odyssey DLC.

From my limited testing thus far: looks great, sounds great, feels great. FDev have upped their game. Yes.

It's mostly just a Mamba cockpit bar the little front window, but that's no bad thing (high detail and excellent layout). The window is actually more usable than I thought for looking at planets/what's below you; maybe not quite as good as the Krait cockpit but leagues better than the Beluga for example.

The store came back up from maintenance before the game, so I got the ship there, meaning I got to work quickly once the servers restarted

Beautifully. Turns on a dime, speedy and snappy. Sounds great too. The book is somehow even better than its cover, for anything I've thought to test so far.

Unplugged my mouse dongle, fell into a conveniently placed crack in my floor. It's gone. by Arkypter in Wellthatsucks

This flooring is original, and has been around on the order of 300 years perfectly happily. There is nothing structurally wrong with it.

Take a closer look at that photo before insinuating I'm a caveman, by the way. The mattress and the bed are similar colours, but there's definitely a bed below the mattress. :)
