I have yet to get ahold of a Crossfield class vessel, I love that design. Sigh, one day. But I hear ya, I'm the same way, I'm not gonna drop that much just because I want one ship in the bundle.
Pvp is a mystery to me, why is the Freedom frigate liked by pvpers?
Mudd's MEGA Awesome Mix Bundle is a one stop purchase to obtain all eight items in the pack at once! The pack contains all seven items, no choices needed. It will also launch on 10/26, for 60000 Zen
For Avis's sake! That's six hundred fuckin dollars. I know, I know, it's not the first 60,000 Zen item in the store, it's just blowing my mind, man. Like, I have whale tendencies, I've dropped cash into the Zen Store many a time. But six hundo? And for these ships? Who buys stuff like this? Who are the mega whales buying the mega bundles?
It’s just the kids reading her books 20 years ago didn’t recognize all the problematic shit she wrote till they grew up.
Adult here who was an adult when the books came out and recognized all the awful racist and sexist imagery. I have nothing new to add to the conversation, I'm just gonna vent. There were quite a few of us here and there who spoke up when the books were published, but we were significantly outnumbered and immediately drowned out by the "shut up and stop complaining" crowd. Yes, all this talk of "problematic" issues in the Potter books are old observations we've been rehashing for two decades...the goblins who run the banks are a horrifyingly obvious Jewish caricature, Chinese character Cho Chang's first name is actually a Korean last name, the one black guy in the whole fuckin series is named "Shacklebolt" (seriously wtf), the one Irish character goes by "Seamus Finnegan," the main female character Hermione is constantly referred to as "bossy"...just to name a few. JFC, what a shitshow.
Ok, one more example that got a lot of attention years back but sort of faded away from public consciousness: in the first movie there's a bigass six-pointed star on the fuckin floor of Gringotts, of all places. You know, Gringotts. The bank......where the undeniably Jew-like goblins work. No fuckin shit, it's right there, plain as day. That one still boggles my mind. I mean, what the fuck, man. https://i.postimg.cc/Jzx2hr31/happry-potter-1-star-of-david-gringotts.png
EDIT: Hey everyone, it's been abuot an hour now and I just want to apologize for all this negativity. I've given this a lot of thought, and I've come to realize all the anti-this and anti-that complaints are really unfair and show only one side of JK Rowling. So I feel compelled to balance this out and remind everyone that she is also pro-slavery. Especially the kind of slavery that forces its slaves to work completely naked, and no one in the book has a problem with it except for the bossy lib girl that everyone hates.
This is a great list, but the repo has not been maintained since July and it's starting to look outdated. There's a few projects here and there that are now defunct, e.g. Reddit clients :(
Bandcamp's U.S. employees, who launched a union that went public earlier this year, announced early in October that they had sent a letter to Songtradr outlining a list of demands around the sale of the company
There are a lot of really good guides out there about ship building in STO. None of that is actually in STO, which is another problem entirely, but that's beside the point. But if you could really boil down the build advice to the barest essentials, for a new player with no resources, what would it be?...
I don't think RCS, neutronium and EPS are that useful unless they're the disco rep Bellum drops.
Perrin's post is about build advice for new players with no resources, so these players need to know what to equip right now to get their ships in decent shape. This is short term, the fleet and rep gear you suggested are excellent long-term goals. Plus yeah mk xv weapons for sure, it does make a huge difference.
Huh, I think this might be one of those unique Kbin things. We have an image upload feature that treats it sorta like an attachment; it doesn't embed the image in the comment, rather it appends the image at the end of the comment.

It does, indeed! I haven't flown a Miranda in ages, probably since the T1 starter ship lol. It's a shame, I like that old design, but none of the Miranda-type ships really jump out at me.

It's not a question of "Can you read the book?" It is a question of, "Did you extract information from the book? Can you connect the dots asked in the question based on the information that you read?" Lots of people who identify themselves as literate have a lot of difficulty doing these kinds of things.
I'm really sorry if this comes across as a TL;DR, but there's a name for that. I'm positive you already know, but for the benefit of those interested, it's called "functional illiteracy." And it's wild, still blows my mind to this day. Like, if you're functionally illiterate, that doesn't mean you don't know how to read...it means you can read but can't understand language written beyond the basic level. There are a lot of variables involved and I'm oversimplying a lot, but that's it in a nutshell. It's fucking terrifying, to be honest, especially because it's so widespread.
Read to your kids, folks! And talk to them about it afterwards!
