How about combining Neutronium and antimatter. Crazy density and explosions without the volume! :twisted: Or anti-Neutronium...... :squirrel: Well pure neutronium doesn't exist (that we know of), but looking it up on Wikipedia, the neutron-degenerate matter in neutron stars has a density of up to 5...

So if antimatter has mass and gravity and similar characteristics to matter and you have an area of space that contains no ordinary matter, thus no boom, get enough of it together and you have the potential for antimatter planets and possibly antimatter stars, although I have no idea how that would...

I don't know if there's a way to keep notified about a thread except by commenting in it, so *bump*.

I'd be pretty fascinated to learn more about Josh and his mind as well.

Stick around ThymineC. I know Grumblesaur enjoys the company of erudite members such as yourself and I have to admit that these contributions are quite stimulating. I feel sure that a thread devoted to these histories, observations and general philosophical discussions would be a useful addition to...

AND.... down to earth with a bump. Good old Arthur, I bet he was the life and soul of all the wild parties he attended. ;) Haha. Well, according to Edgar Evertson Saltus' account in The Philosophy of Disenchantment, he was a pretty attractive man, with good connections and a fair amount of wealth. ...

That is ultimately just one of many philosophical views on happiness. I personally do not believe happiness and suffering exist in mutual exclusivity. You can be undergoing hardship and still have some sense of happiness regarding one thing or another, and you can be happy without ever having suffe...

True, but i'm sure a starving man would be inherently "happier" (how does one judge happiness anyway?) by having small morsels each day, to avoid starving alltogether! :D :wave: There's probably a balance that can be reached. I'd prefer to let myself get a little hungry before a meal so that I enjo...

Honestly, don't even care if there isn't much gameplay yet. I almost wish there was a sort of daily-updated dev build we could fool around with, seeing the improvements and changes as they happen. Or just a stripped down bare bones "graphics showcase only" where we literally can just fly around in ...

Congrats on getting one!

They've earned another $1,000,000. This means that the Aegis Surveyor (specialisation: salvaging) has been unlocked and the $34,000,000 goal will be a ship based around smuggling. Also, just a heads up for those that care, they'll be doing a livestream in about 40 minutes from the time of this post.

And that's another million they just raked in. Jesus. I'm voting for the information runner, just to what that's like and what the description for a ship oriented towards that would be.

Thanks, Josh. I'm definitely on board for a rich contracts system. I wrote a detailed Player Contracts design proposal for Star Wars Galaxies about ten years ago. I really enjoyed reading your article. EVE Online has a contract system that is vaguely similar to what you suggest, though as far as I ...

Star Citizen has just surpassed $30,000,000 in crowd-funding. Well done, Chris.

This said, I expect that there will be some more surprises along the way. Such as the NPCs being amoral little bastards that pirate each other (and the player) for a handful of credits, as soon as it looks opportune. I'm looking forward to a whole series of funny and dramatic dev logs, telling the ...

If you're sitting next to an asteroid w/ a half-full cargo hold and it would take 20 ticks to get back to the station, or 10 ticks to fill your hold and you have two choices, return now and sell or continue mining. The value/tick of continuing to mine until full and returning is 100/(10+20)=3.33. T...
