The latest patch buffed its damage to more than twice what was originally. Still probably sucks compared to the rail gun and the pvp rep flak shot

I don't think its in question we could build the blast shield without testing though if it was just allowed to be very heavy, we aren't really talking about structural requirements higher then face hardened battleship armor crossed with a forged nuclear pressure vessel lid. If you can forge it all ...

Alpha strike torp boats are kind of ludicrous. I've seen some vids with HY/torp spreads hitting for 100 to 200k. Grab the sci ultimate and stack as much crtd as possible and you can pretty much one shot most everything. I am trying to build a pure torp boat/no energy weapons and even on my AOY toon ...

What I'm really trying to do now is have as many omnidirectional beam arrays on my ship as possible. A pure omnidirectional beam boat with fighters would be wonderful. Sadly, you can only equip up to 3 omnidirectional beam arrays: Kinetic cutting beam, crafted omnibeam array of your favorite flavor...

Anyways, any of you have a good build for a vulcan 23c. Science captain in the APU? Hate reddit. Even if you hate reddit, they still have some good advice: https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/44shye/poor_mans_apu_cruiser_build_thoughts/ As promised here's my setup: http://imgur.com/a/u0BMG ...

The admiralty system is a great way to get more specialization xp for specialization points plus it gives dil, ec, and other stuff. Each ship you own has an associated admiralty card, which you can use to complete various tasks for the various factions. Its like the doff assignments but for your ships

If you haven't already and can afford it, buy a ship upgrade token so you get a beefier hull, shields and an extra console slot. If you're going with a pure budget beam boat build, here's some free decent gear: -Sphere of Influence mission for Ancient Obelisk Warp Core and Ancient Omnidirectional An...

The Na'kuhl personal shield has a really nifty 10 sec invulnerability mode that kicks in every minute when shields are 10% or below. Armor and weapon aren't anything to write home about, but the set bonuses include crit chance and severity and a clicky power. I know its not exactly the greatest at t...

I pity the newbie who has to do all those reputation quests to max out their character. On another note, anyone thinks the gear from the temporal operative set is good? The wikia doesn't have any stats so all I can go on is with the description. I finally finished hitting T5 in all the reps except ...

That's just it though. I've been cycling through to the least populated instances on Risa this past weekend and it didn't seem to help too much with the frequent disconnects and server not responding messages. So I've given up and am just popping in for a couple minutes to get my prize vouchers. Thi...

Well with Risa lagging, I might as well give the higher rated ones a try. Any that you guys recommend?

How are the Foundry missions? I've only played for about a couple weeks, but is there any reason to play them?

I guess we'll see in 10 years if their effort is legitimate.

Only half of Latin America?

Its probably an RTG for perhaps an ion engine. I doubt it will be a nuclear thermal rocket, but if it is then maybe it'll kick off another space race?

Now that I'm back home from college, I show my brother what Skyrim is all about ME: Skyrim is a sword and fantasy action RPG BROTHER: So its like Grand Theft Auto? ME: :wtf: A bit later... ME: You can also download mods to change everything from weapons and armor to UI and enemy AI. BROTHER: Is ther...

My three phases of modding Bethesda open-world games: Phase One: Improvement. GUI tweaks, inventory tweaks. "Unofficial patches", texture packs. Phase Two: Expansion. Custom, but lore-friendly new areas, buildings, characters. Weapon and armour packs. Phase Three: Degeneration. Unrealisti...

Mind posting a formula for computing the lifting and drag coefficients as functions of aircraft geometry, airspeed, air density, Reynold's Number and Mach Number as well as a formula for computing viscosity of an arbitrary gas mixture (which would be needed for computing the Reynold's Number) that ...

If thats the case, then you can still have nuclear powered steam engines/radioisotope generators for locomotion. Or is nuclear energy out as well?

... tanks will be immune to all possible small arms even with very thin armor, and far more resistant to artillery fire... basically rolling death wagons on par with the first deployment on the Somme, if rather worse armed. Invest in landmines and anti tank ditches! So WH40k tanks then? :) With ine...

Anyone else enjoying the design aesthetic of Knowhere from the new trailer?

IIRC photons have zero rest/invariant mass, but they have momentum, which can be related to energy. The following links should help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%E2%80%93momentum_relation http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1qwtsc/if_photons_have_no_mass_how_do_they_have_momentum/ htt...

Pretty interesting, I wonder what percentage of binder is needed and for that matter what type of binder it uses.

So is the Hound still on Arya's list?
