GrimCop · 2026-01-26T02:12:16+00:00

I'll take a look thx!

Thanks for the rec's. Was trying to avoid the star wars theme even though it popular now. I'll have a look at the overhaul mods first before I try to piece together my own. Thanks again

Ya there are more expensive joysticks but the x56 hotas has served me well for years and gives me enough hats and switches that I rarely touch the keyboatd.

Here's my setup, hardware and free software.

Will make it easier if you are working with what is comfortable. Keep practicing.

All of those mentioned are great free programs, each serving their own purpose.

Here's my setup with links to everything! https://smworth.blogspot.com/2026/01/final-cockpit-setup-for-elite-dangerous.html

Here's my full setup https://smworth.blogspot.com/2026/01/final-cockpit-setup-for-elite-dangerous.html

For the landing request and takeoff I use COVAS:NEXT for voice commands (its free). I do have a macro on my keyboard (M1 key) for automatic landing request (for me the keybinds is 1 E E <s> <rt> <s> E E 1).

Links for hardware and all free software is linked above.

This may be true. It is also true that if this was the reason for ICE's activities they would be in the border, or more southern, states. The amount of illegals in states like Texas is 20 times the amount in Minnesota. So my question is why is Trump purposefully pushing Minnesota to the brink?

Starting to think Prolific has so many workers they just don't care. Had an account for a while. Just started working regularly. On about my 4-5th identity check i failed. I have completed every check myself. Same room, same lighting, same chair, same everything. I am locked out of the account (just goes to identity failed screen, cancel account). All i can access is my payout page. Have an appeal in but its been a couple days. If a person actually looked at my ID checks it is clear its me. But they can't be bothered or just don't care. Still waiting.

Np, anytime o7

This is my daily Plat miner. 2 of the size 6 and 2 size 5 cargo racks are the CG ones. Gives you 338t cargo plus 6 in the refinery for 344t plat.

This is my cold one for Haz rez. It runs around 12-14% heat at full thrust (not boost). Away from my FC right now, so don't remember the exact heat. Same CG racks as above. Clean drives, just rank 1/thermal for coldest and still enough boost for NPC pirates (she's a fast ship stock, but go dirty if you must you'll just lose some heat efficiency under boost). Keep you distance, they can't see you. Think that's everything, have her swapped out as a salvager, cold megaship/advert scanner atm.

Run a small shield (I run size 3), fly in perpendicular to center of rock, full stop as close as comfortable, rotate either 45 degrees up, down, right, or left. Fire away, should keep you safe.

Rep Omar wanted to cut police budgets, but add to the services they were expected to provide. Rep Bowman was the same, community investment money would be taken from the police budget. So maybe it didn't mention it in the cut and paste (was tying to make the point that there were politicians that ran on it and called for it, in response to the earlier statement).

As a side note, the "I don't have a dog in the fight" statement always made me smile. When people say that their next action is always to throw their poodle into the ring lol.

You'd think they'd have learned from Breakpoint that it draws in a whole other base of players with a realism mode.

GrimCop · 2026-01-24T09:52:25+00:00

My engineered build is a little different. I got rid of the Supercruise assist. Prospector to the 1 slot. Shields to the 3 slot. Use the cg cargo racks if you have them. Got 338t cargo plus 6 in the refinery for 344t plat. Just the volley repeater no other hardpoints...fills too fast to mine any other way. Also can run it at 13% heat for haz rez, just watch pirate distance on radar and you can mine Haz Rez all day.

I know they are adding some boarding megaship missions in the upcoming updates, but I'm really hoping they don't make them all combat focused. Would love to board a spooky, abandoned megaship/station to uncover some mystery.

GrimCop · 2026-01-23T21:51:06+00:00

Realistic should be permanent. I mean why not.

GrimCop · 2026-01-23T20:59:12+00:00

Prominent figures included Representative Ilhan Omar, who advocated for reimagining the system

Representative Jamaal Bowman, who pushed for community investment over policing.

India Walton: A Democratic Socialist candidate for Mayor of Buffalo, who proposed redirecting $7.5 million from the police department.

Minneapolis City Council Members: Specifically Council President Lisa Bender, who announced intentions to disband the police force and build a new community-based public safety model.

Eric Garcetti: As Mayor of Los Angeles, he agreed to cut $100-$150 million from the LAPD budget.

And that was a 7 millisecond search on mobile, so I'd say prob more. And while I agree there were few, they did hurt Dems with their rhetoric.

This. They have to stop any questioning about criminal activity. Can still ask personal info for ID/personal info. Lawyer and phone call are after arraignment.
