Galnet This Week - Eagle Eye Offline, Billionaire Wins Lottery, 2 New PC Companies

[@noblezachary3758]

And I just asked the question what would happen if eagle eye went out. The timing I tell you.

[@DblDg1252]

Guys, food for thought; wouldn't a wrist mounted hologram computer or a tablet both be great ways to bring up a UI while *walking* around?

[@eveng6491]

DblDg1252 My thoughts exactly!

[@T1Jafo]

A computer interface that coils around a user’s wrist is one thing. Coiling it around the user’s neck is completely different. Am I the only one who thinks of the prison escape scene in the Arnold Swarzenegger movie “The Running Man” or the Rutger Hauer movie: “Deadlock, (aka Wedlock)”?

[@SentorisVR]

The anti Xeno Community has still managed to find Out The targeted systems.

[@Exigeous]

Yeah, those guys are seriously dedicated.

[@theduke7539]

Wait, you're not gonna mention the scandal about princess duval and her supposed former lover who admitted to being intimate with the princess despite her engagement with ambassador Rothchester??

[@Exigeous]

Seems my sources didn't share that with me - source please??

[@vincentvalashu]

...I wanna win the lottery, can I trade Slaves for tickets?

[@OmarTorres]

I can't tell if you're flying with shields turned off, or completely shield-less.

[@Exigeous]

In this build I was flying shieldless which works quiet well in the DBS. I didn't suggest that build as it is a bit more advanced as most pilots are used to having shields.

[@OmarTorres]

@@Exigeous Cool, I fly my Python shieldless for Robigo Mines passenger missions. Thought about doing that for DW2 but landing in planets in the wrong way could cost me:)

[@Exigeous]

Yeah, it's *never* a good idea to fly shieldless, unless it's a hull reinforced combat build. It's just not worth the added risk and doesn't really "cost" you all that much to do so.

[@natsashikata8208]

google! where is Microsoft?

[@Exigeous]

Oh, they didn't make it much past 2037 when Google bought them.

[@xyzzy3000]

Aegis is pronounced ee-gis, isn't it?

[@Exigeous]

Ah damn it, probably - did I say Aa-gis?

[@xyzzy3000]

CMDR Exigeous Yes just near the start. Old English and classical phonology does trip a lot of people up though! The US 'encyclopedia' and British 'encyclopaedia' are both pronounced the same, and that's how I remember ae whenever I encounter it. It's a bit archaic for the 34th century though, isn't it?

[@xyzzy3000]

Roober the Stroober CMDR Exægious :)

[@cmdrwraithe1857]

To-may-to.....To-mah-to....it's still the same thing.

[@ChiyoBebe.]

CMDR Wraithe People have pet peeves dude.
