  - player built structure to live out of. middle sized. the ones my group lives out of are of the medium variety -- nm - oblique Jun 12, 07:26 7
    - that's what I figured. Probably hold a lot more stuff than just a ship -- nm - decline Jun 12, 07:27 6
      - lots. these sized structures can even hold capital ships like carriers, etc. (ours cannot) -- nm - oblique Jun 12, 07:28 5
        
        It's talk like this that tickles my interest button. - Mel Profit Jun 12, 08:00
        
        I hope it's not a trojan horse and that when you attack it, you instigate an intergalactic war that destroys millions of innocent Eve lives -- nm - decline Jun 12, 07:35 1

        could you just steal it rather than blow it up? -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 07:31 1
        
        nope. no capture mechanism for these structures. -- nm - oblique Jun 12, 07:34
- so are they just players stuff who have gone inactive? -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 06:57 1
  - yes. 5 man corporation, no "killboard" activity since February. I'm actually surprised they have such a large structure - oblique Jun 12, 07:23

- Reince should resign now and Declare his Independence earlier than July 4th. -- (edited) - Diva Jun 12, 07:04 2
  - These people don't seem to understand what kind of book deals are out there. The publisher would even provide a lawyer, if needed. -- nm - mara Jun 12, 07:05 1
    - Set. For. Life. and best of all, would never have to deal w/that sleazy, lying, know-nothing a-hole again. Priceless. -- nm - Diva Jun 12, 07:06

- the Umpires have a Union as well I think don't they? I'd imagine they will have some issues with this too -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 05:19 7
  - Yes they do and they'll be fighting for their lives to keep calling balls and strikes. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 12, 05:51 6
    - The discussion I heard over the weekend - Strongbad Jun 12, 05:52 5
      - That sounds rather crappy for the umpire and I'm guessing they'll eventually make those calls electronic as well. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:01 4
        
        No more crappy than what they already do the other 3 out of every 4 days. -- nm - Ender Jun 12, 06:33 3
        
        Some people enjoy the work they do and I'm guessing the umps are included. I don't think they want to stand around waiting to make check swing calls. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:39 2
        
        Every day right now there are 3 other umpires standing at another base waiting to make tag calls and check swing calls. -- nm - Ender Jun 12, 06:59 1
        
        Ahh, I missed your point there. My bad and you're right. Three out of four games they do very little. -- nm* - Krusty Jun 12, 07:02

NYC Subway Breaking Down, A Lot -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 12, 04:56 4

- Right now - ty97 Jun 12, 05:01 2
  - And that's actually a decent Monday morning for lately :/ -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 05:02 1
    - It actually is. The radio said there are train problems this morning but it wasn't so much our trains as it was the commuter trains from LI and NJ. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 05:48

  - it does - I thought for sure Okla city would be in the largest - their bar scene and pride parades were excellent - Epiphany Jun 12, 06:22
Bethesda is like, no we really want you to pay for mods. Announces Creation Club for Fallout 4 / Skyrim SE -- (link) - Qale Jun 11, 21:33 [youtube] 16
- Though I knew neither was likely, no new Elder Scrolls and no new Fallout being announced = meh. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 12, 05:09 5
  - Didn't Fallout 4 just come out last year? They won't drop another until at least 2020 but likely longer. I think it was like 6-7 years since - Krusty Jun 12, 06:00 4
    - two and a half years ago. Wasn't expecting a F5 but maybe something along the lines of Fallout Vegas. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 12, 06:20 1
      - Really? Time is moving too fast for me. My guess is they hope the mods bring added gameplay. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 12, 06:25
    - They also released Fallout 4 like 6 months after first news dropped, which was awesome. -- (edited) - Strongbad Jun 12, 06:07 1
      - I agree completely. It was awesome that they held back the news until it was about done and ready to be in the players hands. I'm dying for KH3 and - Krusty Jun 12, 06:22
- i'm trying to listen to the press conference now. Have they explained the weird jumps in the show? - tRuMaN Jun 12, 05:01 2
  - No. It was just that stupid. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 08:26
  - also, they delayed that press conference 2 hours to show 40 mins of clips - tRuMaN Jun 12, 05:29
- I wonder what effect this will have on mods that are already in use. -- nm - IrishStephen Jun 12, 00:17
- This is an interesting blog post from the first time Bethesda tried to do paid mods. - Qale Jun 11, 22:27 1
  - That cut is absurd. 25% for the modder and 45% for Bethesda, who has done nothing? - Mop Jun 11, 23:04
- I look forward to the fights this will cause with my son. -- nm - Mop Jun 11, 21:48
