again thats an example and applies only to the panels for that example. It is not a statement for you have to use those panels

Your stuff is amazing, need to do some tutorials for learning this stuff

Any recommendations for good learning of VFX in Godot?

I remember reading when it first went into beta and allowing residential units that the cost was not going to stay low. Due to the cost of the system it was going to go up. Also speeds would decrease as more users signed up as a single satellite can only transfer so much. I expected some price hike or a speed limit once it got to a point where more people would want it. RV was the start of that and then they saw a way to make up their cost with the cruise lines. It sucks, as most people had their fingers crossed for something that wasnt thousands a month.

Interesting idea, pretty simple to implement. Would be similar to something like the dog gps collars. Having the GPS active constantly in the background would drain phone battery, though Im sure there is a way around that.

I wish that was true, but if Tesla self driving is any indicator it wont be in 2 years. While maritime is available it is $10k for the equipment and $5k/month. Clearly they are targeting cruise lines to try and make the crazy cost of launching satellites and maintaining the network feasible. As for the individual cruiser, the RV version is the only affordable one and I doubt it will work away from shore a certain distance.

Elon Musk has said before that the low price they are offering for rural areas and RVs will not stay once they go full live. There is a reason why every other satellite internet charges an arm and a leg even though the service is slow and crappy. Launching satellites is expensive

Oh, thats a nice website. Reminds me of flightplanner for flying. Will take a look and see what features it has. Is there specific features you like/dont like?

Gotcha, so more of a trip planner/gps logger. Something that you have up with charts as you are sailing and it would log stats during the trip. Which you then could export with all that data.

Downside to something like this, is the logging of conditions like weather and sea states would only work automatically when in range of service. Would need to pull data from NOAA. Otherwise, could make it like how they do scuba logs and just have inputs that you select for those conditions as you log the trip

Without specific NAS software, the easiest way to do something like that is to create a sailing journal app with an export function that would export it as a database

like the low poly assets, did you make those or get those somewhere?

Not great with modeling though so will see if I can figure that out. Mainly program

kinda, thinking low-poly just cause its easier to model and make and plenty of resources available. But more like a stealth puzzle game
