See? This is why I don't post often. Everything worth saying has already been said.

Astronomy generates false-color images because various radiative frequencies are being filtered out. Photons collected at the relatively narrow bands passed are mapped to some color. Often several frequency bands are obtained for the same region of space. When their images are composited, that's wh...

I'm going to start reporting Cornflakes for posting offensive content. My eyes... It is every type offensive content ever created by god. Also I know what cornflakes is now: a horse dumped into mercury, with a communist brain implented in it's scull, and a lead bar glued to it's forhead. Also the m...

sooo... non physics guy here... if iron is the heaviest element a star can produce before burning out.... how did we get the heavier elements at the bottom of the periodic table? Magic, duh. Okay, but in all seriousness, here's a wiki that might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova_nucleosy...

I was curious to find out what they were talking about when they said "trains," and now I know. Ah ignorance, how I miss thee.

I'm fine with ideas, but there hasn't really been any. I'm not fine with things that don't belong on the developer's official forum. I'm not locking things because I've ran out of ideas. I'm wanting to lock things that don't have anything useful, i.e. about 90% of the posts in the past month. I can...

he made some "under the radar" contact with at least one member here, i reckon hes fine Logically speaking, I guess there's no reason he wouldn't be fine. We'd probably know he was dead from the news; If he were in a coma or having a medical emergency, someone would have posted it; If there was a d...

I agree that Josh is more informative than most indie developers and that we may be spoiled because it, but that's mostly why the community is worried. Regular updates are hard enough, even with a designated PR team. Josh is doing almost everything solo. If anything, it might be a good thing we have...

You might be right, although I'm not sure I share your near-certainty given that none of us have actually played LT yet." I'm just basing it off the development updates in which he frequently disables collision to improve performance. The later ones have less of it, which is very encouraging. You m...

Can't we just leave it at "all star systems are procedurally generated"? Having black holes, iron stars and supernovas in visitable systems may sound cool on paper, but are unlikely to show up anytime soon because they wouldn't be very fun. Say you were in a system where the sun was going supernova....

I'm sure this has already been answered, but what happens to destroyed ships and wasted munitions? Does their mass go back to the asteroids from which they came? That might explain how asteroids slowly regenerate, but could also be rather difficult to implement. Imagine attempting to track the use o...

I would gladly contribute. Not sure how much I can do with school and all, but hey, every little bit counts.

Still, is there any way for us to know if Josh is okay? (without breaking any laws, of course) I can't help but feel like something isn't right. It seems to me that Josh put far too much work into the project to have simply abandoned it. If something catastrophic happened, someone here should alread...
