Hi Josh! So glad to see another Joshpost after such a long time. I'm glad to hear you've "decoded" yourself a bit, there's nothing like doing something completely different after juggling heaps of code and data structures in your head for such a long time as you did. I have to say this project was o...

Just found this on PcGamer: https://www.pcgamer.com/after-6-years-s ... velopment/

... really sorry to see LT go ...

Thank you for an absolutely amazing ride, Josh! I wish you all the best for the future.

The wait has an End:

Isinona has uploaded another one of his excellent FA-off videos!

Watch some nerve-racking flying while our pilot steals cargo from miners while pirates are standing by:

.... Shouldn't players always orient as if the nearest planet is down? Idk where I read that once in a scifi novel , but you take the largest orbital body nearby and treat it as "down", without respect to the equator or the planets rotation. Anywhere you are around the planet, the closest point on ...

That E:D video was kind of neat.

Thanks Talv, I was wondering if somebody noticed

I really like Isinonas videos, he has been my absolute favourite and sadly makes far too few of them.

Notorious Flight Assist Off Ace Isinona has release a long awaited new video a few days ago. Check it out a youtube. Check out his amazing flying and navigation skills

Also, the Thargoids are back and ready to blast anyone who dares (I don't ): ED Forum Link

Yep, thats what happened when I tried to hail you. Well, I was grinding 2,5kly to get back to Maia anyhow, now finally getting access to his elusive professorness Palin.

I'm online right now (seeing IronDuke), but on a train (hype, hype ) and really far out exploring. not sure if I will make it back to Maia by tonight (CET), but anyone online is welcome to ping me (IGN: Plofre).

Good to hear the WSR are back in the black again. Some nice stories you guys are writing up, I have no idea how to make the stuff I do ingame sound half as interesting. I am currently returning from a longer exploration stint to get the 5k LY distance needed for Prof. Palin and currenty on my way ba...

How about a neutral territory? Maybe an economically depressed third-world country that could benefit from some tourist income?

Scotland, maybe.

Nawh - you surely must mean Switzerland. They are really neutral and toatally depressed since the CHF exchange rate is going through the ceiling.

... BTW, CSE: seems like I'm really close to you now (sitting in a Hotel in Basel :) ) Nice! Hope you enjoy the city! We may have crossed path when you came (enjoyed perhaps the same busses due to the broken train line in Baden-Baden?), i was in germany the whole week ;) Lol, no, the messed up trai...

Tally's up to 40 now.
Really nice idea.

I like the idea of being able to see star systems (for instance in the vincinity of your starting system), that you currently can't travel to (hyperspace/wormhole drive not researched yet or link of worm holes not yet known), but eventually you should be able to find a way to go there (no use of gen...

When I lived in Virginia, my license plate was "10 GOTO 10".

I like to think that earned me a little geek cred.

lol, full credit given!

... Well, you could save the position of already scanned, stationary objects, like stations. And guess, that this must be the same station when you get back to that location later. And that this station is there until proven otherwise. That would make some interesting situations like "What the-? We...
