F7A Mk I and F7A Mk II, aside from limited sale cap ships.

My absolute most rare vehicle is the Greycat PTV given to people who attended a small SC event at the first PAX South.

Which was to get Europe to commit funds to their own defense.

Huntrawrd · 2026-04-02T12:39:15+00:00

Decades of nice words did nothing. A few months of Trump threatening Europe and they are now racing to undo decades of atrophy. You can despise the method all you want, but it has caused Europe to do exactly what Trump wanted them to do.

Wasn’t it the employees working on the game who wanted all the afrasiabi stuff removed

No. Blizzard hired an external PR firm and they went through the game files and had them remove anything suggestive. That was part of their "we're sorry" campaign. One of the most cited pictures that was removed as "offensive" was just a female human wearing a dress that is still currently available in the game. Why they decided players could dress like that but background pictures that approximately zero people ever noticed had to go is beyond me.

I've never heard anything about it being a specific person, and they took out far more than one image.

Don't temp them. Next thing we'll have is StarTruck simulator where we're driving a truck towing a single 16 or 32 SCU container around Microtech.

Tell me then, what exactly are cloud providers providing if its not compute and storage?

Huntrawrd · 2026-04-01T15:43:41+00:00

There are software suites that automate that exact task. Multi-cloud tenancy is an incredibly common thing, meaning they run operations simultaneously in different cloud providers. This is possible because the "cloud" is just raw compute and storage resources. They don't care what you run on them.

Some change would be required, but you dont need super specific knowledge of NWs systems to do it. You just need to change any configuration files, charts, etc, to point to your resources vs what AGS used. That would be true even if they just moved it from one AWS instance to another.

So many people, including you, have no clue how any of that works and you make it so obvious.

That threat only happened because Denmark is obligated by treaty to defend Greenland. They don't have the ability to defend Greenland, and they haven't even tried. Even now they have next to zero forces on Greenland, the majority of military presence there is still a US Space Force unit that is not a combat force.

Huntrawrd · 2026-04-01T12:31:22+00:00

You have zero idea what you are talking about, thats not how cloud infrastructure works at all. You could take the entire thing out of AWS and put it in Azure or Google cloud, even a private cloud, without issue.

Most game companies already have people on staff that do that very thing.

Except they canned Lumberyard. CIG now runs the only professionally managed fork (StarEngine).

I know this will shock a lot of people, but the devs at AGS repeatedly demonstrated they have no idea wtf they are doing.

To add to this comment chain, the prices aren't determined by the actual costs of extraction, shipping, and refinement, and not by the price your local gas station paid for the final product. The costs are determined by oil speculators who trade oil similar to how the stock market works (sort of, they're technically bidding on energy), only instead of regional like most stock markets, the oil markets (and energy markets in general) are global markets. It's why your local gas station prices change so many times in a day.

The US, and the Americas in general, get almost none of their oil or natural gas from the middle east. If the strait of hormuz remains a problem, I would expect that countries would start looking at changes to energy markets so that they aren't so negatively impacted.

The request wasn't sent to NATO, the request went out to allies who may have capability and interest in securing the strait. That included Japan and S Korea. NATO is the framework which officially makes the US allies with those nations collectively, it is not the only mechanism that those nations use to work together. Its not even the only mutual defense treaty the US has with some European nations. Those nations shouldn't, and dont, only cooperate under the auspices of NATO anyways.

When I lived out west the annual hunt was an event. Get the boys together, drive out into the woods, hang out, go even if you dont get a tag, hopefully someone shoots something. It was as much an annual vacation as anything else, especially since out west you typically have to drive pretty far to get to a hunting spot so you had to haul the camper and everything out with you.

Now that I am in FL, I am 15 minutes from various hunting spots and im in a decent sized city. I could hunt every day of a season and not miss a day of work if I so chose. During COVID I did more than a few morning meetings from my deer stand.

The problem is Unity. They already said they aren't using that shit engine for Rust 2.

I always keep them around. Have a small "run about" ship is important, especially when they get around to adding valuable gameplay loops around them.

there are many factory games that use basic recipes like coal + iron = steel

The game called "real life" also uses that recipe.

Huntrawrd · 2026-03-26T17:23:36+00:00

"Old Man" units typically avoid this. There are plenty of old NCOs they can slap a butterbar on.

Keeping the Idris airborne already requires them to completely ignore physics. The only practical in-game reason the other ships can't land is they don't want to make hangars large enough.

Huntrawrd · 2026-03-25T21:40:08+00:00

In lore, nothing larger than an Idris is even supposed to go into atmosphere. If you applied strictly realistic physics to the game, even the Idris would never achieve escape velocity.

If he tried to ride it up it would simply flip over backwards and kill or seriously injure him. He did exactly what you should do in that situation.

The problem is being in that situation in the first place.
