    ** The Official Space Flight Thread - The Space Station and Beyond **

    Will be very interesting to see what sort of data it starts sending back, Crazy when you think a bunch of evolved apes on a rock, managed to make a machine that flew 510 million kilometers, and landed itself onto the surface of a comet... it boggles the mind when you look at what we can...

    Oh god, you reminded me - I did spend quite a bit of time traipsing all over the place trying to find them... It was a week or two ago, but I *think* it might have been Aulin enterprise.. Aside from that I can't remember, Aulin does tend to have a lot of good stuff though,

    Why Rekt?

    I went from playing CS:GO comp with a proper team, to playing comp with randoms, with voice turned on, and I never literally never experienced such terrible behaviour. Screaming kids, griefing that wrecks the entire round, general abuse, cheating.. Losing a 3 v 1 by the skin of your teeth...

    My mind was just blown - Quantum Physicists in here please

    Nobody can explain it, and there's a chance nobody will ever be able to explain it, because it's a different ballgame to what we're used to doing. Trying to understand quantum mechanics from youtube videos with no background in physics is going to destroy you :p I've read a lot of physics...

    Mining is fun! My mining setup is; Cobra Class-2 mining laser (medium hard point) 5 bin refinery 2x 16 capacity cargo racks 1x 4x capacity cargo rack (36 cargo capacity) Basically, the idea is to look through the galaxy map at different systems and find rings/clusters with...

    In a type 6 - if you strip everything out you can get around 112 (that's with no shields) so you're talking around 60-80k profit on average per run, bearing in mind I can get around 500k for 90 minutes mining - I prefer mining :p I heard that before beta 2 people were making 300-500k profit...

    Ta, I had a good go at trading in a type 6, (but mostly in beta 2 when I started out and trading was nerfed) the most I was making was only about 500-600 profit per ton on crop harvesters and stuff, I'll have to swing by Canum and haul some warez, :)

    Nice, I doubt i'll have a chance to upgrade mine very much, considering we'll all get wiped next week ahead of gamma, but it does look like the ASP can pack some serious firepower,

    *** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

    Any ASP owners here? bought one last night for 6.6 Million after hammering the mining laser, loving it so far - nice big cockpit like a glass bubble (similar to the type-6) but with double the cargo capacity and plenty of firepower!

    I think under the current system, if you have anything other than a sidewinder (say an eagle/cobra/viper) if you die and you don't have any cash the game gives you a loan to cover the insurance (max 200k), I think it's then repaid by taking 10% of anything you make in the game (selling...

    Man refused entry to a falconry display, because he had no children with him.

    Damn, I was looking forward to going to watch the birds whilst wearing my trust-me-trousers

    UBi pull Christmas launch games from Steam in UK..

    You just end up with all these god-damned game programs, my taskbar has steam, origin and uplay in it - how many more do I need? all my friends are on steam - because the steam community seems ok, we can all jump in and play all manner of different titles together, when you throw in uplay and...

    ** TRUE 4K IS HERE & LOW LOW PRE-ORDER ONLY PRICE!

    Got mine this morning - thanks OCUK! First impressions of 4096x2160 are phenomenal, it's basically a 31" retina display, haven't calibrated it yet - but it's a seriously nice bit of kit, Also I tried a few games with it at lunch (BF4, Elite dangerous beta, Farcry 3 and Borderlads pre-sequel)...

    Job relocation to London. Compensation?

    I moved to London a few years ago, started off in Old Street in a house share, I just did not want any form of long commute so I moved within walking distance, cost me £1kpm and it was a hellhole, before I moved in there - I must have looked at well over 15 properties before I simply had to move...

    I had an interesting experience last night, I've spent the last few nights flying all over the place looking for decent material to mine, but it's just been endless gallite/bauxite/rubbish - to the point where I was about to sell my mining kit, Then last night I found a cluster of 4...
