    Broke apart a floopy disc and used the strip from the inside, worked really well so will need to remember that if another one happens in my life time.

    As for Star Citizen I may pick it up next week.

    We used the polarised lenses from a pair of 3D glasses, with one reversed, worked really well, especially as the clouds cleared minutes before

    Star Citizen uninstalled.
    New launcher downloaded. 1.1 downloading... Says 40m download estimate.

    I'm feeling the faster download. This is quite pleasant and I might be on before midnight :)

    Ben's posted saying the Vanguard is expected to go on sale next week, assuming they're happy with it, and... it's expected to be $250!?!

    Thats $300/£200 basically, after tax, bit less using Euros but still, for a 'deep space fighter' at concept price, thats crazy. IMO it should have been about $175, maybe $200 if it was a 2-maner, but its described as single... which is what most people will be if they buy one.

    They are getting greedy. Dangerous game when you have promised so much but delivered so little.

    I do think some of the prices are getting silly.

    That's the key thing, if you have a package and you have the ships you want to start with, anything else you can earn in the PU.
    Looking forward to owning ALL the ships in the PU one day xD

    As it's been a while since I've used a HOTAS, I'm having to look at mounting solutions from scratch.
    Out of curiosity, how high off the ground do you all have your HOTAS systems... or what have your attached yours to?


    One idea I had was to try something like this:
    http://www.littlewoods.com/home-collection-compact-rectangular-laptop-unit/666567553.prd

    Though it might be too low at 58cm compared to my desk which is 72cm from the floor.
    58cm is roughly the height of my knees when sat at my desk.

    The alternative would be to go for something like this one for the frame and then mod it with a custom top:

    I started downloading about 11 minutes after they announced it, started it downloading as was going to take around 10 hours, went to bed, woke up this morning and found http error!

    Had to restart it again this morning and now about 9 minutes left. Cant wait to see some of the new features!

    That's my view as well, personally I'm done spending. However, CIG really should release cheaper ships and not have every new one over $250!

    what do you guys think the impact of having Lifetime Insurance or not is going to have, what is Lifetime Insurance?

    It means you can go and get your star ship blown up go back to base and there is a brand new one ready to go straight away?
