| Just saw another tidbit that it has supposedly been "confirmed" that decimals were misplaced... 42 million in weekly fees was supposed to be 4.2 million.. as I said, it is a beta.. time will tell. |

LOL -- was just watching a stream with someone in the Beta... the upkeep costs currently max out at 44 million a week, which is almost 3 billion a year in costs. I have to think that will be reduced, because if it isn't they are wasting their time putting it in the game. And that's from someone who mined up 8 billion in a few weeks. First, again -- it is a beta so far from being set in stone. But apparently the maximum weekly upkeep is currently 147m. The 44 million is a pro-rated figure from today (Tuesday) to the weekly reset "tick" on Thursday. So, 7.644 billion per year in upkeep for a fully equipped Fleet Carrier as it stands currently. Frankly, if those figures aren't reduced by 90% or more.. you won't see many of these things in the game.... |

Do you still have to go to a station to see prices on things? To see the current commodity price at that station? Yes. Or use third party tools -- which do work well.
Do you still only jump into a system at the sun and have to travel across the system to get to places? Yes. The only time I've really heard anyone complain about that is when the location they want to go to is 10s of thousands of ls (or longer) away from the main star. If you don't like that, you might as well not play the game. Still have to play that game of when to not overshoot stuff? Uh, technically yes. But 1) there is an automated super-cruise module you can buy if you want 2) if you can't deal with this manually after a dozen hours (or far less) of playing this game, you either don't understand something or are really terrible at video games.
All that needlessly grindy crap is what keeps me from playing.
The grindy stuff is mostly optionally. Yes, to get some cash you are going to have to grind some. But it isn't hundreds of hours or anything. I'd say in 20-30 hours (less if you learn quickly) you can be buying/building a significantly upgraded ship to go do whatever you want. Explore, trade, combat, whatever. |

| The game definitely has some grinds. That said, I still think it is a great game. It is a nice contrast to NMS, I play both, like both. |

| A lot of the people in the community are not happy about the upkeep charges. It will be interesting to see if FDev sticks to their guns on it. I'll be interested to see what Tritium costs at stations which have it and how common it is for mining. The spool up time is the biggest con that I have seen so far. I don't want to have to wait an hour after telling my ship to jump. If they need two hours, do it all on the back end. |

| Finally saw something on it. Apparently at first the GOP tried to move the election of the justice to a separate date. Presumably because if it was on the same date as an active Democratic primary, too many Ds would show up. But they weren't able to do that. Milwaukee has reduced polling places from 180 to 5 due to volunteers saying they wouldn't show up to run them. And since urban areas are more affected by the virus and tend to be more Democratic, this is the next best thing for the GOP. Hooray for politics! |

Although I would like someone to explain to me what the Wisconsin GOP thinks they are accomplishing by forcing the primary election to go forward...
They have a state supreme court seat in play. Old people are eligible for mail-in absentee ballots, and are a Republican voting bloc. In Wisconsin, other people have to prove they deserve one. So making sure old people are over-represented while urban voters aren't counted helps Republicans get that state court seat. Thanks for the information. |

Humanity is in a race to the bottom. Ignorance and pride are favored over critical thinking and logic, and cruelty is viewed as strength. Religious nutjobs control entirely too much political power, money, and land. Pretty sure that's been the case for many centuries. The only thing unique to the current situation is the level of it demonstrated by the US president.

Forgot to consider he had stopped playing, but even if I had I didn't know what the waiting period was and if he had been out long enough. |

| Is it standard for the waiting period to be elected to the HOF to be waived in the case of death, or did they make an exception for Kobe? Not that he doesn't deserve it, I was just curious if they actually had an exception written into the rules. |
