I want to go back to the good old days Jow Forums...
I remeber how much of a pain in the ass it was to park in that game and how the docking computer made everything easier. Surprise to say that I'm somehow a pro without it in the newer elite game series than i was back in the late 80s.

Am i the only one that wish to see a control system like that to be remade again? I like to see one be remade with the touch screens on both sides and have a large screen shaped in a canopy style and have a seat that has motion sensor systems so that way when you play elite dangerous you would feel as if you are literally in the game without the gay VR system.
I remember seeing that shit as a kid. Could never afford it. Wish there was a modern sequel now with the same kind of controller. Instead I just have to cry myself to sleep on expensive flight controllers

How is an FDL getting dad'd on by a cobra mkIII? That's what i want to know
I once laser beamed a FDL down pretty fast in my Krait mark ii ship since it is my favorite ship on the first elite game.

>I want to go back to the good old days Jow Forums... So do I user, kills me everyday...
May I ask how old you are? 33 here.
Brody Cox
24 but was raised in a home where i played on a console like the nintendo64 and xbox and the only vomputer we ever had was an old windows98 and we only had vhs tapes that filled up the entire ckoset since we could never afford dvd ourselves but i do remember enjoying the old films and my father showing me how to torrent and download old movies from online before he had to go into trucking job career to help us stay under the rooftop. I know I'm not exactly an oldfag but i remember that i enjoyed the older times and do not enjoy this "future" we are in right now.
Ayden Davis
Krait's got large weapon slots tho any FDL that's spent enough time engineering should have shields for days unless someone got some cheeky resonance cascade hits on it

I blame fucking glock for the sudden end to new future ideas on guns
Jose Watson
I see what you mean...Yeah what can I say? We must get through this and, somehow, rebuild everything afterwards. Rebuild optimism, rebuild our own phantasy and vision etc.
On a related note, what I found interesting though is the Synthwave phenomenon. I've been listening to Synthwave since 2011 or 2012 back when it was still pretty much an unknown fringe genre (still is but it's much much more popular and well known compared to then). The vast majority of Synthwave afficionados are people of my generation and that isn't a coincidence. Nor is it a coincidence that it has become the quasi official music genre of the far right. It all comes together in a sense. People who grew up with the glory that were the 80s and 90s, who were promised a certain future and ultimately got robbed of it and now want it back.
Liam Hall
This is not gonna sound related to Jow Forums but are laser continues beams the ultimate way to go about in elite dangerous abd is it worth it to have all of them gimballed and engineered to max? Only thing i see a plus in them is that they don't require ammo which is a big plus but are laser beams valuable as opposed to kinetic and pulse lasers?
Joseph Kelly
>we are still driving shitty gas vehicles You can get an electric car if you want, they are even more shitty though.
Luke Miller
If you expect to be away from stations for a long time and don't want to use your srv to grab mats to manufacture more ammo then just lasers should be fine. The downside is they eat up a lot of power and aren't that great against hull. If you're pvping and go up against someone with who knows what they're doing you'll be at a disadvantage.
Owen Thomas
But wouldn't fully engineered power plants, power pip and laser beams make it more effective?
Colton Peterson
Engineered kinetics will overtake engineered lasers in hull damage by a mile. Plus with all lasers you'll pretty much have to keep 3-4 pips in weapons the entire time.

I hate how people use nostalgia to sadden instead of motivating them. >we are still driving shitty gas vehicles Biodiesel and electric are here. >we are still using gay as fuck modern tech Define modern. >no more floppy disks, hard drives, fuck huge tv, xbox huge computers Did you grow up with any of this shit? Because it was a pain in the ass. SSD's and slim tech are much more manageable. >everything is dull and boring Only boring people say this. >everything is made out of polymer plastic WRONG >there are no future 80s style architecture of anything Future 80's style in Miami Vice was actually Art Deco which has been here since the 30's. >there are no sweet looking industrial metal style vehicles or dystopian style guns Are you fucking serious?

im 31 and i dont wanna get back to th year 2000, i got fast internet that delivers me anything i want at the tips of my fingers, from computer games within minutes to sextoys within 4 days from the other side of the globe via a developed chain of logistics. i can listen to streaming podcasts or any kind of narrowcasted entertainment while i work making my work much more enjoyable. solve tons of problems by searching the web or YT for a solution, and learning tons of stuff online either for free or a small sum. dont have to spend fuctons of money by going out when i can meet a girl that already answers some of my main criteria. and im able to write you this reply from the crabper so eve pooping is entertaining now.
what you need to do is leearn a bit of history or talk to your folks to realize you are living in a blessed timn of relative peace and amazing comfort you almost feel life is too easy. go find meaning dude, life in many ways the same it was 2000 years ago, you still livee a finite amount of years and ask yourself the same questions the greeks asked themselves millenia ago.
Nathaniel Diaz
con't from above what your problem is that you're born under the asymptotic into such a life of comfort you have no idea of how horrible life was right before you were born.
My mom lived in a wooden building until 1975 with an outdoor crapper and no plumbing and now we can drive for 3 sec to sit and eat whatever food we want for almost no price at a nice restaurant with air conditioning and then go back home with our bellies full.
Challenge yourself, since just surviving isn't much of a challenge for you - YOU now have the abiltiy the develop yourself in ways previously unimagined or only available to very few individuals.
tens of millions have died and fought for the world we have today just a few decades ago. use this opportunity to live life to the fullest, life might not always be this amazing.
Unless you're fighting for a really long time it doesn't matter. Top it off with the fact that you can make your own ammo now with minerals and metals you pick up on planets/asteroids you can rearm in the middle of a fight if it's that crazy.
Anthony Roberts
How do you do that?

Look up synthesis on google there's a big ol wiki page detailing it

>>music is not vaporwave or even coherent anymore Stop. Please.
Obviously it's not 100% guaranteed, but compared to hunting and gathering agriculture is exponentially more reliable and sustainable

>a boring generic brick aka glock >futuristic
KeltTec has more innovative ideas and motivations on coming up unique designs than glock could ever dream of having.
Dominic Butler
M8 you're just an annoying hipster that knows jack shit about engineering or machines in general. You only think it's "generic" because it's successful and popular and that makes your soiboy brain recoil cause successful popular things remind you of Chad fucking that girl you thought you had a chance with. that doesn't mean it isn't a technologically advanced design. Stfu brainlet
Christian Morales
but it's so gay and boring
Luke Hernandez

Josiah Hernandez
At least it has style unlike the soulless brick of a glock. A fucking xbox console has more uniqueness and style than a fucking glock but keep on using buzzwords though since that makes you feel better about your boring brand of a gun called glock.
