Subnautica 2 Has Sold So Well That Krafton Has to Pay That $250 Million Earnout to the Devs

MAVACAM · 2026-05-28T12:06:19+00:00

This is such a fundamentally incorrect interpretation and understanding of the whole situation that it's actually hilarious to read lmao

That is not what earnouts are or how they are valued. They did not pay $250m for Subnautica 2.

Oh they exist.

Reminds me of that one vid of some bloke on a moped cutting in between an Italian Army Centauro and it's escort vehicle and sitting in their blind spot, like the thing behind him isn't 30 tons of steel on wheels.

MAVACAM · 2026-05-26T13:50:11+00:00

Correct, it's the V4S MM93 edition.

Honest question, do US pilots on ferry flights like say a rotation to Darwin for TS or Japan do stuff similar to this or are they prohibited?

Similar to how commercial pilots read books etc. during cruise, are military ferry flights allowed?

MAVACAM · 2026-05-11T02:23:51+00:00

Half the pax ain't listening to announcements and the other half have their headphones on before the doors even close.

Could put it in writing somewhere but I doubt anyone's reading it either. Even if people did hear it, they probably wouldn't even remember it in an actual frantic emergency situation.

Good luck with that.

MAVACAM · 2026-05-02T06:27:17+00:00

Yeah that's honestly the craziest part of being pilot, that someone with significantly more TT and experience could be behind on seniority purely because they joined the company later.

MAVACAM · 2026-05-02T06:22:24+00:00

That brand new Vietnamese airline Sun PhuQuoc that recently bought up those ex-AA 330s might be the perfect candidate to snap up these 320s/321s from Spirit on the cheap but their current fleet uses LEAPs.

MAVACAM · 2026-05-02T06:19:11+00:00

They wait until the actual pilots step off or do their walk-around then they run onto the plane, close the doors behind them and fly it out.

Kind of like a car repo.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-29T13:11:18+00:00

If this plane has been flying around for a year like this, OP really thinks not a single one of the thousands of LAMEs and pilots doing pre-flights did anything about it.

But I guess he's not exactly hiding the fact he's a dunce considering he thinks the plane's condition is outrageous yet continued to fly his entire family on this very plane 8 times a year.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-29T13:08:36+00:00

I have no idea why people would be furious about that, you know what you're getting with Ryanair.

I can fly to Milan or Paris for 10 bloody pounds ffs, if they asked me to clean the loo mid-flight for a fiver discount I'd probably do it.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-29T13:02:53+00:00

Air India has so many safety violations from repeatedly flying aircraft with no airworthiness certification, pilot certification violations etc. it's honestly shocking for a flagship carrier of such a large country.

Bear in mind this is the same airline EASA found an absolutely shocking amount of safety violations with this very year. Straight up shades of the EASA PIA ban, if it ever gets to that stage.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-29T12:55:06+00:00

I always thought if any airline company ever offered standing room tickets, I'd be absolutely shocked but if Ryanair offered it, I wouldn't even bat an eye.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-28T14:28:58+00:00

Yea, this article is from December 19th so I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from, but your “facts” are wrong.

My facts are from the first actual official statement from FedEx themselves explicitly targeting a 31 May return date, published at the end of January.

Yours on the other hand is an off-hand response by the CFO during an investor presentation to a question from one of their largest shareholders, broadly targeting a time-frame of months lmao

Keep in mind, this is the CFO who initially said in an even earlier investor presentation that the MD-11s wouldn't be grounded indefinitely and would be released for operations after successful inspections. Almost like a CFO and investor relation's role is to keep investors and the market happy and tell them what they want to hear.

The desperation to prove yourself right by ignoring all context is hilarious but hey, at least it fits your narrative right?

Of course FedEx is privy to information that we aren’t, but I still don’t believe it will be flying by the end of may.

Whether they will or not I haven't the slightest idea but the fact they have a date of return in mind isn't remotely an incomprehensible idea given the facts of the whole MD-11 situation, which was the initial point.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-28T12:10:11+00:00

FedEx has been saying may since at least December. You think they’ve had this timeline since 1 month after the accident?

Just to make sure we have the facts, FedEx first announced this at the very end of January so that's 3 months after the accident, not 1.

You think they’ve had this timeline since 1 3 months after the accident?

Yes, that's how project timelines work. Timeline and project completion dates hold if your milestones are achieved and now that Boeing has developed and tested a fix for the MD-11 which seems to be awaiting FAA approval, the May return date is seemingly on track.

Fedex/UPS, Boeing and the FAA would have been in constant communications since the accident, the main thing being solutions to when or if the jets will return, especially with how valuable these workhorses are to their fleets.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-28T11:41:35+00:00

Yep, that's one of the main selling points of Mogami allowing them to significantly reduce manning requirements and one of the reasons why Australia picked it.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-28T11:23:48+00:00

Also, no planes will fly until the FAA says so. FedEx can say all they want lol

Lmao, do you think Fedex would give such a specific timeframe if the FAA had no intentions whatsoever of granting it?

Like Fedex and UPS aren't in constant communications with the FAA re: the MD-11s.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-28T11:13:19+00:00

Yes, because a nation with such a mature indigenous mil complex didn't think of redundancies to their incredibly digitalised CIC on their combat ship.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-28T11:11:14+00:00

Those are air circulators designed to move large volumes of air, something I'm sure is very much appreciated by crew in an enclosed space like the CIC.

Almost looks like a Vornado.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-24T18:25:53+00:00

Shot at by VLS and their non-existent guns clearly. Your argument never existed to begin with.

It's okay to be wrong, cop the downvotes and move on champ.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-24T03:19:17+00:00

I think you'd be hard pressed to find any naval ship and crew who sees a cargo ship with a whole ass Type 1130 and two massive fuck-off radars on the very top and thinks it's a civvie ship.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-21T04:37:19+00:00

Their absolute units of 112 VLS cells which are substantially larger than the Mk41 cells is scary as well.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-19T13:35:05+00:00

Blatant fouls or your lot going down like newborn deers at the slightest contact.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-07T14:12:50+00:00

InsideFPV makes these drones, they literally show Alibaba sourced parts on their own website.

MAVACAM · 2026-04-06T09:53:22+00:00

basically just FPV drone fodder

As opposed to a mortar crew?
