They got it for 90% off and they are review bombing it for the cessation of console support, for being an expansion, for selling new ships for arx, for not having VR, for not having ship interiors, for not understanding gameplay and lying throught heir teeth. No they are not fair and accurate.

I have even more nitpicks, like no supporting geo at LOD 0 for these huge normal map decals, Inside cockpit right above you details are low-quality on low res textures, which are uneven on the different assets. So I think their pipeline is working best for medium and small ships but not large ones.

Maybe they are just reusing the asset - could be a Faulcon deLacy too. Btw I don't think they have the resources for developing more than one large ship / year. They need lots of surface details and frankly the Panther has lots of
problems with its geometry already. The lack of resources show

Haha That was a fantastic event! I will never forget that day of defeat and fight for survival. I was outside at Bright Sentinel: before the server downtime -with happy CMDRs waving, and right after the servers came back online:

Leto was the executive producer of Tron Ares, It was him who pushed this whole project and I think we can blame his myopic vision for the story as well as casting himself as the lead. Btw it's funny to build a franchise of Tron's name, while Boxleitner's character is nowhere in the sequels :D

So true! The game art and intros which were forever etched into my mind (and I could keep on listing Bitmap Brothers, Lemmings Populus etc)

That is the problem! I don't know. I know it was on the Eastern flank of the galactic core - At first I thought this one on the left but I checked the pictures' metadata and one hour passed between the making of this and later the pictures I shared above. Right: my view on the system today:

Back in late 2021 (Odyssey), I found an interesting ELW which had only one side frozen over. Interestingly the frozen part had a visible ocean in its middle:

Have you read Eric Knight's Sam Small Flies Again (The Flying Yorkshireman)? There is the chapter called 'Never Come Monday' in which a knocker-up decides he doesn't want to wake up folks on a Monday morning. The idea spreads and the whole country finds itself in an eternal Sunday. :)
