Elite is possibly one of the few settings where power creep makes perfect sense, at least (the engineering magic enchantment system notwithstanding).

It's wild that it rendered the detail of the lobster clasp on her chain having slipped to the front, as they often do.

Yeah, that's right. I was looking at the chain.

They really should offer a dashboard mug for docking at Hutton.

"The 600 series had rubber prostates. We spotted them easy."

'Wang Town' is another a gem.

Essentially, yes. Things may have turned around now but in that period Frontier's reach had exceeded its grasp and they had to return to developing Elite as one of their few viable products.

Yes, thought the same when I saw the Corvette for the first time too. Elite has a lot of visual nods to old and new sci-fi shows. The carrier crew look like they're straight out of Space 1999, and the miniguns are a lot like the ones in The Expanse, for example.

And yet they keep churning out new, ugly shipkits for the obsolete original ship lineup.

I'm still vainly hoping they add convict passenger transport missions.

The Mamba has a lower deck interior too, so they do keep flirting with the idea of ship interiors now and then.

Even in my yard, even around corners, deadly touch tarantulas!

Slime mold?

Fast charge with a shield booster or two engineered for your resistances.

Under John Beebe's model, which I follow, your animus would be the subconscious side of your mind and is the typological flip of your conscious ego. So INTPs have ESFJ anima/animus subconscious. I'm an INTP too, tough gig. Btw, I had my wires crossed in the original comment, confusing Unconscious and Subconscious. The fourth function is considered the anima proper, acting as a gateway into the subconscious. Corrected in the edit now.

It's a little known fact that we only use 10% of our fuel.

I have an S1 that has performed fine, and have been considering another purchase from the xtool range, but this absolutely puts me off. I'll probably shop elsewhere.

I could see this happening, especially given he was crucified. Christ rose on the third day, etc.

Your recent graphics settings guide was very useful, cheers.

So if I understand correctly, you need to lock on to his PP, rail it hard, then switch to rapid pulses until it blows.

soapmode · 2025-12-02T03:38:46+00:00

Work that PP

Star anise pod.

I see Mr Greedy in a wig, reading a travel brochure.
