Started messing with it and built my first corvette. No name for it yet, and it's built fully from stock parts outside of a couple of reactors and a shield gen I salvaged. Not a big ship, but she's mine(3 habitation modules). Not sure what I want to call her yet. I do want to salvage some...

As much as I loath both of those sites, I hope they win as well

Can't wait to dig into this update. Really tempting me to leave work early.

Nah, the bulk of those was the other way around. The corporatists fleecing the population by claiming that they were too big to fail and the government being WAY to hands off after giving them tons of money to stay afloat. They should have been broken up into smaller units at the very least(if...

Fascists love getting their hands on the inner workings of corporations despite, on paper, being against nationalizing industries. There's a reason it's only a 10% stake. It's enough control to influence board decisions, but low enough to still claim they aren't taking over the industry. As...

I'm sure a few did, but a lot of others quit because they got tired of the general population harassing them constantly. When you have people constantly coming up to you asking for your badge number, asking you to take off your mask or calling you out as a two-bit thug, it will eventually wear...

They should have used paint, not chalk, IMHO. Resistance has to cause the powers that be some level of discomfort to be effective. They won't even have to lift a finger to remove the crosswalk. A good rainstorm will do it for them... I'm all for marching as sign of solidarity, but we really...

Rather ominous looking painting. Looks like it could be a spectral nexus of psychomagnotheric slime.

Well, you can see the windows on the saucer section and neck and get an idea of how many decks the thing has. The rim of the saucer is two decks high. There's no way to interpret that as having 70+ decks given the height of the saucer rim. Your right, they seem to have forgotten that deck...

I'd say it's exactly the same. You can LOOK at the shooting model of the Enterprise-A and see that there aren't over 70 decks on the thing. They used the constitution refit in 4 previous movies. Granted it's nowhere near as bad as the turbolift scene from Discovery. You'd think they were...

To be fair keeping a consistent scale has NEVER been one of Star Trek's strong points. The B'Rel alone has been shown to be anywhere from smaller than a Miranda class to just a bit smaller than the Enterprise D not to mention the turbolift issue in Star Trek 5. It does seem to have gotten...

Blue states will do what they can to keep their national guard from being deployed. Some will be successful. All this could have been avoided if the Republicans in the Senate had a moral compass and had convicted Trump back in 2021 or 2019. Thankfully, ICE is having some issues with employee...

4chan having a broken clock moment. Happens occasionally.

Not like the CIA and NSA hasn't been farming out hacking work to third party hacking groups forever anyway.

I'm just hoping the courts do their job and totally reject this nonsense of an EO this time.
