If we kicked the crap out of each other in our arguments more often, we'd be better off. Congress would never have passed those bloated budgets if there was a good chance one of their constituents was going to kill them for it. Our selfish need to feel good and avoid hurting each others feelings is what got us into this crapfest. I'm sitting here arguing with a bald faced liar that claims the postal service is efficient because it loses billions to offer com

What? Giving you specific combinations of zip codes doesn't cut it? Ok, internet for dummies, er utter fucking retards, I be insulting dummies. Go to www.usps.com. Click calculate postage. With the left mouse button. Click go under calculate domestic postage. Pick your package and weight of choice, and for zip codes, pick anything you want to and 74743, you know, besides another zip code right next to it.&nbsp

Guys, he's playing the AI. A long game against them without cornering their fleet gets you one hell of a siege frigate mass. 90 is not an unreasonable number for him to be running into. Kole, you didn't list command cruisers. They are quite useful, get them in equivalent numbers to the repair cruisers. Cataclysm, TEC can play the AI with just capital ships easy, Advent too. The ai is too braindead to get past the Dunov shie

Ok Jonnan, since your brain is obviously dribbling out your ass, this is my last try. Since you claim to be capable of using the page to create a shipment, how are you incapable of seeing the 1-2 day shipping time, and the estimated arrival that is more than next day for anyone not on a hub? I've even given you examples of locations, like the entire state of Alaska, where you cannot get a next day delivery out of USPS. Compare Express Mail t

Ok, I just have to know if I'm brilliant. Show of hands, how many people here are too stupid to calculate shipping and see the delivery estimate using this link ? Remember kids, if you don't set a morning drop off time you'll end up with another day added on.

Someone call the circus, this protozoa has evolved fingers! You're a really dumb shit if you can't find a delivery estimate on a cross country shipment that isn't from one hub to another. Here, try 99517 and 74743, since you're incompetent and can't repeat it.. Go make a shipment, two days fucktard. Yeah, USPS Express mail is next day delivery from one hub to another. Forget it if you're outside those hubs. The entire state of Alaska can't

Ok, potentially fair statement there. I guess I didn't spell out the process. Go back to your USPS link, click on find the guaranteed delivery time, and try putting in some zip codes. I tried quite a few, and that's all I got. "No results can be found based on your search criteria" I tried same city shipments to see if I could get a one day guarantee. I even hit up a couple zip codes in LA to see if maybe t

Large hanger compliments with a small defense fleet set to engage locally inside a mass of repair platforms and turrets will do a number on those siege frigate fleets. Siege frigates get weighted very small in the firepower matchup, so it's easy to present the ai with a losing situation they will run from, even when they can kill the planet.

Reply to Stock Market in Everything Else Sins Forums

No, the bailout is to keep the mortgage market from collapsing. Individual banks are in trouble, the banking system as a whole would just get to make more money buying up the bad assets for cents on the dollar from the failures. What wouldn't be good is housing prices returning to reasonable, and credit only being available for people that aren't sucidal loans. That would end the social engineering projects they have going that have built this bubble to start with.

MRDred, selling short. Which, by the way, the commies want to make illegal... While there is motivation to balloon stock values, there is equal motivation to deflate them among the investors. It is lopsided only within the company, where people get paid for making the stock go up, and generally get paid in stock as well. Blaming investors for the woes of the economy is unfair regardless. The stock market could drop to zero and it would be irrelev

Reply to [General balance suggestion] The capital ships need to be much tougher as level increases. in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

If mitigation levels were changed, advent shield increases would need reworked anyway. Upping the max from 65 to 85 would also make a 1 point change as effective as a 3 point change used to be. Capship level bonuses could be halved, leaving them with level 10 mitigation of 90% before upgrades. As long as it was a nice, smooth scale that took a decent amount of damage to max out, that would discourage the hell out of focus fire. Just a few points up from culture would b

You suck at debating a losing argument, when cherry picking aspects to make yourself look good, they can't show the opposite. You mistake optimal delivery for guaranteed delivery. UPS next day air is guaranteed by the end of the next business day. USPS Express mail is "guaranteed" inside three. Comparing Express to Second day air seems fair, maybe it arrives a day earlier, maybe a day later. Unless they lose it and ship it to you a week later.&nb

That's a flawed argument anyway. Budgets increase with sales. Successful and diverse modding communities have been proven to significantly increase those sales. These guys easily sold a couple hundred thousand copies of BTS by themselves. The FFH2 mod is badass topped with more badass. If it weren't a Stardock product, I'd have trouble justifying the purchase to myself if the Star Trek and Star Wa

I'd have thought it was obvious based on the context of the post, but that 1% mitigation is a goof. It was 5am. I was intending to say 1% damage left over after mitigation. As in one ship firing on one ship is just as good as 100 ships firing on one ship. Obviously somewhere closer to 5% would likely be sufficient. It just needs to scale in a reasonable manner so that this idiocy of force firing on single ships with hundreds, which would be impos

OH GOD THE AGONY! Ok, done ragging on the font goof. So commercial and consumer laws are set up entirely different, but you keep using commercial rulings to justify consumer scenarios because you feel they're applicable despite the vast differences? I like the color blue, therefor EULA's are invalid.

Focus fire is the enemy, their durability is irrelevant. Focus fire blows in RTS games, always has, always will. Mitigation could have fixed it, but when you remove focus fire as a tactical requirement, the tards that have convinced themselves it's a fun aspect of the game go bonkers. To make capital ships live, move the mitigation cap up to 1% or so and make it a much smoother incremental increase. This starts at 20 and goes to 60 wit

Jonnan, you're a moron. I mean that in the best way possible. This is, by far, your dumbest attempt at an argument that I've seen. Comparing the post office total operations to pure package shipping operations... Wow, the post office is more efficient by item! Maybe that's because nearly every item is... junk mail? In 2007, they lost 5 billion dollars! Everybody cheer for the efficiency of your tax dollars! If t
