Looks like the Distant Stars mod has some lag optimization in it. Pretty much the same as the other one I used for Diplomacy, cuts down on Fighters/Mines/Trade ships. Looks like the Sins Optimization project that was available for the older versions (then dropped when the devs implemented the community fixes in a patch) is making a comeback for Rebellion too but I don't think it's ready yet.

Cool thanks man.

You might have some seriously strong incoming t-storms there Blue. We got them last night, knocked out the power here in southern ontario in a few spots. But they're still arguing whether or not if it'll turn into a full blow derecho.

People defending Windows ME, I've truly seen everything now.

Further proof that WinME users had their brains dipped in chocolate.

But Win7? Yeah, great OS. Probably the best since Win2000. I'm still running my original install from release, and it's been through a full mobo, cpu, gpu upgrade as well.

I honestly forget which one I used, and I uninstalled Diplomacy to make room for Rebellion so I don't have it anymore. If I recall it made all fighters auto-dock when no enemies were in the gravity well so the system isn't constantly processing those. It also reduced the mine limit and made each one stronger to compensate, again to track less objects. I think those two were pretty big FPS killers when the quantities are high end-game.

If you happen to remember which it was, post it I'd be interested. I haven't had time to play, but always nice to know what mods to look at for the future.

People like dungeon crawling(ie sewer crawling). Which FO3 had a lot of, NV didn't have much of that. I admit I liked that too, but there wasn't a lot of it in NV. Though as Chris Avellone said on the topic, there's alot of places in the US southwest for the next installment, and even more that people haven't considered. I'd really love to see them do something in the Boneyard(LA), or heck even New Reno. Or both, there's really no shortage of material.

Im the opposite, I enjoyed Bethesda's Fallout 3 a lot more then Obsidian's Fallout NV.

Therefore im excited Bethesda is currently working on Fallout 4 and not Obsidian.

Blasphemy. Let me guess, you enjoyed the TV miniseries of Dune over the actual books too?

Easier to make money there anyway. Easier to get drops there with a high %MF, and it'll be even easier once they put MF back on chests.

Don't worry Blue. The forecast for across the lakes and across from you is to be back up into the high 80's and low 90's by late saturday, or early sunday. So I'm sure you'll be getting it soon enough. The humidex around here is supposed to push it back into the mid 90's to the low 100's too.

The the midsouth might get that from June 1st to September. But the last time I looked from November to March they didn't get 24-80" snowfalls and assnumbingly(-25 to -30F) cold weather either.

Though sometimes, if you're lucky, you do get freezing rain. But we get the snow, then freezing rain. Or sometimes the other way around, or sometimes we get the rain,then snow, then freezing rain, or a combination of any of those in any order. Making sure that chaos is beheld by all!

You're also welcome to trade that any time you want. We also get "wet winters" unlike those guys out in the US plains. Which means that cold, yeah. The cold chills you to the core, and bites at your soul.

Today is the first time in nearly a month where the temperature is under 80. I know where you're coming from Blue, a nice toasty 75F with rain here. Yesterday was 96F with the humidex in the 119F range.

Christian countries are white countries and white people are less likely to commit serious crimes than non-whites. This has less to do with religion and more to do with racial differences.

Ahaha yeah. I think it's about time for you to travel outside of that 60 mile limit of your house, and go travel the world a bit. There are plenty of countries that some form of christianity as the actual state religion(roman catholic for example, and a few that are protestant), that are actually non-white. I'll just point that out.

Funny you say that. In other news, in socities which have a strong belief in "hell" like "christianity" there is a lower crime rate. Well now, isn't that a problem, or is it? The actual study in itself is very interesting if you're into psychology at all, though it's behind a paywall which is why I'm not linking it.

Now, I can keep going if I really wanted but which way. Should we go the Muslim, or the Jewish path? Shinto, or Hindu? Choices, choices. Though the muslim one is reallllly fun with their crime stats. Especially once you get into the number of sexual assaults in muslim countries, and you correct them to western values.
