Congrats all! This game is going to shift boundaries. Alpha 2.0 is amaaaaaazing...

Which would make DOS the most successful. Are we still using it? Of course not. Times have moved on. I don't want to sidetrack this thread, and since you are clearly set in your ways we'll leave it be.

There you are then. XP may feel comfortable but it's holding you back, badly. It simply wasn't designed to make use of modern hardware. At some point security risks, poor hardware support and lack of new drivers will outweigh any familiarity benefits. My 2c.

I chuckle every time I see people commenting about how Sq42 was the goal of the crowdfunding campaign, and the persistent universe plan only resulted as more money came in. This video makes it clear that the idea of Star Citizen's persistent universe has been floating about in CR's head for two...

WC as a Star Citizen mod, using Klav's models as a base. A man can dream, can't he?

Straight from one of Data's less successful stand-up routines. "So a Klingon, a Romulan, and a human walk into a bar..."

I'll join the cautious camp as well. Been watching Trek for decades, and I have mixed feelings about a new show. We'll have to see how it turns out...

Ouuuuuuch... Yes, that hurts. My sympathies. But as you said, better now than with the real thing. Was this regular cold glue that you use on wood as well?

Interesting, I can see how a mockup could be useful. Excalibur's front fuselage is tricky to get right. It's actually curved along the side profile as opposed to angular. The only way I could get the shape right was to build the nose tip out of very thick balsa slabs and then trim it down...

Don't know how many you'll end up with, but I'll tell you this much: Once you start building, odds are you'll go back and measure some more, especially when adding surface detail and fittings. Either way, looking good so far!

My, that looks familiar...

Dang, it happened while I was sleeping... Woooot!

Glad to hear! Have tons of fun.

Final Unity is a brilliant, wonderful, fantastic game. I would snap it up immediately if they ever released it on GOG.

Never met the person, don't know them, yet believe gossip about them. Because, you know, I get bad vibes from looking at them. You could make a career as a gaming journalist, by the looks of it. I'm constantly flabbergasted by how easy it is to pronounce yourself judge and jury of the lives of...

I bought AoA. It's quite a fun game. Which Wargame title would you recommend to an long time C&C fan?

I miss C&C desperately... There have been so few opportunities lately to blow stuff up with tanks. The original is probably my all time favourite game.

If you had to put 10 games on your bucket list, Strike would surely be one of them. Finish it if you ever get the opportunity.

Hang on, didn't you ever play Strike? I spent hours in the object viewer. It definitely predates Armada's.

This something I would most certainly be interested in! Please keep us up to speed.
