Not sure if this is a faithful backer or someone having making a joke. Its practically impossible sometimes to tell the difference.
Was looking for the inevitable post defending CIG from ChatJ3PT, but i guess even he isn't willing to touch that thread.
Ok, different topic, and this is weird... discussion about medical beds and how Tier 1 beds can (or the plan is) "print" a new body at any distance but Tier 2 bodies only within 20km.
Why would it matter how far away a corpse is? Either you need the physical DNA or whatever sample, or you don't, either way, you're either right next to the remains or the remains don't matter. Its all rather strange. Then they start going on about how capital ships won't have enough beds to ressurrect the whole crew in one go, and if you think about it, if the whole crew is dead (They're all dead Dave!) i very much doubt the ship is going to be in existence for much longer... and anyway, if everyone is dead, who's going to revive the crew anyway? Holly???
This is all coming from a discussion about the tractor beam, which is the hot topic at the moment. Now, for maximum fidelity, i think they should have them work based on Newton's law. So, you know, your commando uses their handheld tractor beam to lift a heavy box, but every force has an equal and opposite reaction, so the commando immeidately suffers a hernia and has to make their way to space hospital for treatment. They then have the pleasure of undergoing surgery and being laid up in hospital for a few days. This is surely the dream of your typical faithful SC backer!
A discussion about SC being a box stacking sim also leads people to start dunking on the survival mechanics....
I mean seriously? Do they expect us to spend an hour loading and unloading boxes manually? Please tell me there's going to be a move-all option or something...

Faithful to the rescue!
Like it or not, you're going to stack boxes!
Something something immurshun.
