Power Play has a lot of nice stuff. I'm not sure how keen I will be to pledge for a power player, but the mission changes are very welcome.

Possibly the criminality system is getting some teeth finally, we'll see.

Powerplay launch trailer

Currently thinking about giving my support to Winters. I prefer the liberal party of the Federation. As much I want to smash some Imperial slaver heads, I'd like the Feds to be better than the ones they fight.

Down with Antal and his Federation puppet masters!

Ron Perlman: Pirate King will rule all of civilized space!

Just ordered an Empire key ring and the 30th Anniversary shirt on sale. I'm enjoying them.

So, as allegiance is really getting too quiet most of the time, I'm looking at this with interest, and wondering if

a: my connection is good enough? does anyone know what kind of bandwidth this takes, and is a high ping as much a problem as in alleg?

b: my computer, an i5-3450 @3.1 GHz, with a built in graphics processor, and 4G ram...not sure if the graphics on my chip can handle it? any thoughts?

How does the combat feel compared to alleg?

Combat is sub-par and easy as @#(! compared to alleg. RPS matchups and instancing issues. One day I just decided "$#@! it, PVP time". Took me a day to start stomping on people.
I'd rather fly an int than do dedicated PVP in this game.
I know guys with laptops that can run the game as long as they have the Ram for it.

Check and see if Sys Req lab have E:D in the list of games and see if your comp can run it.

"RPS"?

Ah well, I love exploring new things anyways.

Bought.

I love some of the vids on youtube, and like the complexity of managing the ship's systems, shutting down for low sig...

See you in-game!

C'mon, xix...

Let's form a wing and gang up on little kids

Btw, how's the West treating you, DR?

After what must be getting on for 15 years my SW FF2 has gone squiffy. Yaw no longer works. I've dismantled it and there's a wire come loose inside the handle so I need to buy a soldering iron to see if that'll fix it. And then get the handle back together which might be extremely fiddly.

If that doesn't work I don't know what I'll do. But a TM 16000M probably but it won't be the same.

Cobra MK V Defender.

I wants!
