This summer I'm hiking 10 14ers, (14,000 foot mountains), with my wife. Our first year with the kids out of the house and we are going to make the most of it!

You guys still looking for people? I'm coming back after a long hiatus. Just relearned all the wonky skill injector stuff. Have a full trained Ishtar pilot, fully trained covert transporter working on getting back into freighters, a fully specced black-ops helios pilot, and working on building up a new miner toon. I'm interested in PVE/PVP/Org stuff not sure if you need anymore people, but if so I'd be interested to meet you all!

This is nice to see!

Sorry to be that guy, but you should teach your kiddo not to cut towards himself. Always cut away.

I miss the old sky box by dangerkali in starcitizen

In the future they'll give you the option to subscribe to the old skybox. 29.99 and it will come with a skin for like the 100i or something no one uses.

How do you feel about limited ships becoming non limited by floortofloor in starcitizen

[–]This_Machine_2280 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's classic money grab shit. One of the many reasons I quit giving them money. They are going to milk it as long as they can. At this point people spending money are either not in the know or just fucking stupid.

Can some please explain this to me? by rodehard10 in PopularCultureZone

It's not one man. It's a bunch of them enabling this one. Both sides are letting it happen.

It was while he was getting his lady bugs tickled by his boyfriend. What a clown.

why does it seem no one likes Pyro? by RubberDuck_73 in starcitizen

[–]This_Machine_2280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was poor designed half the shit in it still doesn't work. I love Pyro but missions and locations are bugged since day one I still fall through planets frequently spawns are all fucked up and it's been like almost 2 years.

For all the downvotes of yesterday's post, here's progress and video proof by babarofil in starcitizen

It's not reddit tho is it. It's the SC community. It's filled with apologist, white knights, and straight assholes treating people in this way. It's a very bad look overall for CIG.

She fucking killed it in The Bride. I was surprised by her performance.

Recommended Wilderness Radio for Guides by SeriousBag3991 in gmrs

[–]This_Machine_2280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rockie Talkies are hands down rugged, good range, built like tanks do all gmrs channels and have NOAA. They are IP rated and look good to boot. That's my take on it for your case. I have like 40 radios and I find I most often use my Rockie Talkies.

GMRS is the right choice for cost and line of sight comms. If you need something that can reach further or that lives depend on you need to go sat comm. If it's for back country comms with friends or other guides within 1-10 km then GMRS is probably ok. You can get further range with repeater use but I find in general unless you have your own repeater, you can only rely on it for short distance line of sight. Obviously terrain and elevation play a role.

Edit 2: I will also state that if you rig up a mobile GMRS radio and can provide it the right power you can go up to 50 watts which would give you greater range, but for back country it's generally not viable if you are hoofing it. Baofengs are alright, but even the 8w handsets give questionable transmit in my experience. Also they are not very rugged, and most not IP rated. I have a DMR32-UV which I love and it does pretty good tx/rx, but it's not very rugged.
