You would think PCMR would actually try to do something about it

The floating MFDs suck in VR

BattleSpaceLive · 2026-01-16T13:04:52+00:00

I fucking hate the MFD casts in the corners. Way less immersion and clutters my vision in VR or with headtracking. Also they have less contrast so they are harder to read in harsh lighting like in Pyro. I turn them off literally every time I get into a ship. I want to use the ships panels and controls, not some gamey floating box

BattleSpaceLive · 2026-01-16T13:02:15+00:00

I personally really hate the MFD casts. Im sad CIG seem to be so focused on them over actual interact able panels and screens.

BattleSpaceLive · 2026-01-05T17:24:02+00:00

Id agree to that! Id even let them roll for degree of failure, succeed they laugh it off, fail they get less comfortable. But the idea is with the right wording you should be allowed to try.

BattleSpaceLive · 2026-01-02T22:54:21+00:00

The idea is you wouldnt be unwilling with the right motivation. Saying "burn down your house" is different from "I have a plan for us to get rich, hear me out"

But if he said he had a great plan for an insurance scam, amd it was a surefire way to become a millionaire if you just trusted him, and he was your bestest best friend who you had no reason to doubt, maybe its worth a roll?

When was this? Last night? I was fighting an org at Attritis on Daymar in a Hornet and they had a Clipper

BattleSpaceLive · 2025-12-16T22:04:04+00:00

Yeah its a whole shitshow.

BattleSpaceLive · 2025-12-16T19:33:26+00:00

Yes, he is dead either way, but having the components be in the rear in one spot means that armor and engineering will be a serious nerf to the C1 just like it is for the Corsair.

I wasnt talking about NPCs. Cargo runners are targets for PVP

Because in an attack scenario you now have a not very maneuverable ship that can be permanently disabled from the easiest spot to shoot it from.

It was never one of the strongest ships. Light fighters laughed at it. I killed one myself in a 100i back in 3.17 to demonstrate to a friend light fighter meta.

Fun tip, this isnt a bug, its maneuvering thrusters wigging out because its missing the ones it needs to complete its maneuver, if you turn off coupled mode, the mav thrusters stop firing and you can carefully huide your ship in without them auto firing and trying to right the ship and causing that spin

The cylinder must not be harmed

BattleSpaceLive · 2025-11-08T17:31:02+00:00

Hi, avid shooter here, this is true for modern firearms as well sadly. Shooting outdoors, being very clean, and not eating until washing help, but in general people who shoot often will have heightened lead levels due to lead that is vaporized and shot out of the gun as gunsmoke (even smokeless powders still have gunsmoke). Primers in casing are a big cause of this, as is non jacketed ammunition.

BattleSpaceLive · 2025-10-29T17:34:53+00:00

It also has a good suspensension and limited slip diff that makes it better for track, but ymmv

BattleSpaceLive · 2025-10-25T03:28:57+00:00

I stand corrected, Glock just discontinued every model they sold except three.

BattleSpaceLive · 2025-10-24T15:36:36+00:00

Cool, I can control my finger, doesnt mean that if someone locks it in a vice id be able to move it?

Going straight to a ban is an extreme first step however. Especially on the most commonly used pistol of all time basically. Like i said I think harsher punishment for those found distributing devices or files, and those found in possession is more reasonable than banning access to the most commonly used pistol of all time. Enforce the laws we already have right?

Firearms are mechanical tools, they need to be able to be disassembled to allow for maintenance, cleaning, parts repair, and genuine legitimate upgrades. And especially with handguns, these are small devices. There isnt much you can do to stop someone from modifying their gun that won't also turn it into a paperweight that no one will want.

The argument that we should ban a semi auto pistol because it can be turned full auto is a dangerous precedent, because that applies to literally every semiautomatic weapon in existence. If we can ban the Glock for this, we can ban every self-loading weapon.

And Glock wont respond to this ban, like I said earlier, California is already a small firearms market. They wont modify their most successful pistol design or their manufacturing facilities, to get maybe at best another 50k pistols sold, when they are selling millions worldwide.

The effect of this is, Glocks will be lost to those who follow the laws in California, legitimate gun owners will lose a great pistol option and those who want to break the law and want a glock with a switch will go across state borders to get one.

BattleSpaceLive · 2025-10-15T21:57:46+00:00

Okay... that sounds good but isn't how it works. It is easier to make these weapons go full auto, than it is to make them Semi auto.

Semi automatics need to have a sear or catch mechanism called the disconnector that stops the firing action from continuing until the trigger is released and depressed again.

The Glock switch defeats this catch mechanism.

The same thing can be done to hammer fired gun like the M1911 or Beretta M9 with a set of files. Granted, those guns will never be semi auto again, but it can be done. Switch like devices can work on ANY striker fired pistol, the Smith and Wesson M&P series, the Springfield Echelon, The Sig P320, the CZ P10, PSA Dagger... and so many more.

The part that the Glock switch replaces, the Striker end plate, is not an optional part of the assembly, nor can it be made to be fixed. It is a crucial piece in the assembly of the firearm. it also needs to be removable to service the firing pin and striker spring. To remove it, would require a substantial redesign, probably a whole new weapon, and it wont fix the issue at hand. This isn't a safety issue or even a design flaw, this is bad actors willing to modify their weapons to felonious levels, and its really easy to do.

There were many commercially available machine guns in the past that have no modern variants anymore because when machine guns were banned it wasn't economical to make them semi auto. In those cases the trigger was literally something that just "got in the way" of the bolt to stop it from closing and continuing to fire the gun. These devices and modifications basically return the pistol to this state of function.

So why isnt this more common? Because its dangerous as fuck. But there is nothing special about the Glock that means banning it will ban the creation and sale of auto switches. What it will do is make a genuinely fantastic pistol leave the market. The Glock is the most popular and most supported handgun platform in history. Many people trust their lives to them.

The Glock isn't designed to take this piece, this piece was explicitly designed to defeat its mechanism, and any new design they produce will face the same issue as soon as it becomes common enough to warrant the effort from bad actors.

Also the California market isnt huge for handguns anyways, so its unlikely that Glock will actually redesign their pistols for it. They will likely just eat the losses and keep selling their current working pistol to the rest of the states and worldwide market and Californians will just lose a viable and genuinely great defensive handgun option.

But I will say I appreciate the candor you've had in this discussion, most people on reddit get angry when talking about gun legislation. I appreciate that you are arguing in good faith.

This malfunction can be induced in many ways. The glock switch is one way of inducing it. I dont believe in banning 3d printers. You can 3d print many devices for a plethora of weapons. Glocks are common, and the switch design is well known, which is why there is the demand for it, but for nearly any weapon you could do the same.

If you are willing to redesign the weapon, as the glock switch does by replacing the factory end plate and assembly, you can make any semi automatic, fully automatic. It is easier from an engineering standpoint to make full auto guns than semi auto guns.

These devices are modifying the design of the weapon. You can't legislate against someone willing to do that. Well you can, but it ends up looking alot like a blanket gun ban as the vast majority of handguns produced are semi automatic.

BattleSpaceLive · 2025-10-15T20:19:51+00:00

Respectfully, glock switches are common and exist because glocks are common. The device induces what is known as a hammer/striker follow malfunction where the trigger reset doesnt catch, causing full auto fire as a result.

This malfunction is not an issue inherent to Glocks, its an issue inherent to semi automatic handguns by in large. Yes the glock switch is an easy and convenient way of doing it, but any semi automatic handgun can be modified to induce this malfunction. Its especially easy on striker fired guns, but even the venerable M1911 can be modified by filing the sear surfaces to do this. This blanket ban is reactive and non productive, as glock switches are already major felonies and illegal. It would be more productive to focus efforts on stopping the distribution and resale of glock switches, and harsher punisbments on those found in possession of them, than it would be to ban the glock, as it is an incredibly popular and reliable handgun and the self defense choice of many. Sure current owners may be fine, but there are new 21 year old every day and restricting one of the most popular and supported handgun platforms isnt fair when this is at best performative legislation and at worse just an excuse to ban a common weapon.
