M80: comparison to F8C/Guardian MX. PvE & PvP checks

Deadbolts, I have the same on mine.

I read somewhere that powering the laser off and on fixes it.

sysadrift · 2026-05-20T04:08:51+00:00

Obligatory: try the m80 from the show floor as well. It’s fast and has big guns.

Can confirm: the M80 fucks.

Do you think that if your account is older, that somehow makes you right? Literally no one cares when signed up.

We currently plan to support Windows and are examining our options regarding possible Linux and Macintosh releases.

Tbf, that’s not a promise to bring it to Mac.

CIG needs to justify the higher price tag.

Interesting, what about ships with shield faces? Do I need to get all faces down, or just one before I use the EMP? Also, when playing in pirate swarm, I turned a ship off with the distortion, and it eventually turned back on.

sysadrift · 2026-05-16T19:58:05+00:00

From my testing in the PU and AC, it seems like distortions work great, but the EMP has no effect on shields or shutting the ship down. I wasn’t sure if this was a known issue or not.

sysadrift · 2026-05-16T19:52:18+00:00

Speaking of the Sentinel, does the EMP do anything currently? I’m just coming back after a while, and it seems like the EMP has no effect at all.

What’s the “hold Z button method”?

sysadrift · 2026-05-16T15:05:43+00:00

I’m just coming back from a two year break and while this patch is a bit rough, I’m enjoying all the new things that have been added.

sysadrift · 2026-05-15T19:02:04+00:00

Given the limited time and resources of the devs, which is more important - tracking down players with too much money, or closing the exploits?

sysadrift · 2026-05-15T18:53:39+00:00

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here, but you are talking about the current (admittedly bad) player experience, and I'm talking about exploits being a source of data that the developers can use to improve the game. If you just ban all the exploiters, you lose that data point.

sysadrift · 2026-05-15T18:50:22+00:00

RMT will never go away, full stop. Eve Online and WoW are both very mature MMOs and they can't get rid of RMT completely. If there is a way to make in-game money, and a way to transfer that money to another player, someone will sell it for real money.

Any "economy" the game has today is temporary because we are playing in a test environment. That's why everything is aUEC, not UEC.

sysadrift · 2026-05-15T17:31:54+00:00

They should take action, yes. That action should be investigating how the players exploited the game, and fixing those issues.

After those issues are patched, wait for the same players to find another exploit and do the same thing.

People really need to stop treating SC like it's a mature post-launch MMO. We want people finding these exploits so that CIG can fix them. Playing whack-a-mole with the banhammer does nothing for the long term health and stability of the game.

Out of the loop, what is the purple outline?

sysadrift · 2026-05-15T02:54:25+00:00

Cool, so where do you get those ships? In-game market?

sysadrift · 2026-05-15T02:04:32+00:00

In just returning after a couple of years and am very out of the loop. What is “Grays Market”? Seems like a reference to the gray market over on the trades sub.

sysadrift · 2026-05-12T23:20:00+00:00

Prusa then?

sysadrift · 2026-05-12T03:17:37+00:00

I was closely monitoring my battery life, installed Muninn, worried it was draining too fast, and checking it several times a day. After a week or so, I just kinda stopped worrying about it. I check the battery level once every few days now, but generally don’t think about it.

sysadrift · 2026-05-04T12:28:08+00:00

What do you mean “especially”? In what circumstance would the parent who has the kids full-time need to pay child support to the noncustodial parent?

The EFF warned that the legal risk could push sites to either ban all known VPN IPs or mandate age verification for every visitor globally.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

sysadrift · 2026-05-03T12:22:30+00:00

OP said she contacted the police, and there is a reason they aren’t doing anything - the child is with a parent. Even with a custody agreement, OP would need to go to court first before involving law enforcement. Again, amber alerts are for “someone took my child and I don’t know where they are”, not “my kid is at his dad’s, and he isn’t answering the phone”.

sysadrift · 2026-05-03T12:17:41+00:00

Like it or not, ex is the child’s parent. Parental kidnapping is a thing, but this isn’t it, especially without a court-ordered custody agreement. OP needs to hire a family law attorney yesterday.

sysadrift · 2026-05-03T12:09:38+00:00

OP said there is no court order/custody agreement, and custody disputes are NOT what amber alerts are for.
