I love how Spiff remarks on Celsius being so British...considering we adopted Farenheit as a measure of temperature. Britain didn't move over to celsius until 1971 when the country adopted decimalisation...I spent my young life at school learning the old £.s.d currency as well as weights and measures in Imperial...not to mention temperatures in Farenheit. I was a very confused teenager who had to mentally calculate everything back into 'old money' to make any sense of decimalisation for quite a few years :D

Me in the 1970's: "What do you mean there are only 100 new pennies in a quid?...There were 240 of the old ones!.." :cautious:

Before Decimal Day hit the UK (15th of February 1971) twelve pennies made a shilling, twenty shillings made a pound, hence 240 pennies in one pound...as simple as the twelve times multiplication table we all had to learn back then :D

I recall learning metric.
Then it never happened over here.
Craptastic.
Base 10 just much easier.

idk the way they say traveling between systems within jump range from station on feet seemed strange.
they said you could do that to play outside the port. That i dont understand what they mean. why not hop on your ship and jump.

The point is new players may start on foot and not even have a ship. They need a way to get around. Existing players can choose this as well. You are buying a ticket on a ship to drop you off somewhere, roundtrip? This is if you find yourself without a ship or just want to avoid the wasted time travelling (I hope), to get to a planet station you want to be or near mission location.

You could still get into your own ship and go if you want, and spend 20 minutes jumping there. Or hopefully use Apex travel to get a brief cutscene and just arrive there in a sensible time, like 30 seconds.

And there's this: https://www.theguardian.com/science...rch-humanbehaviour?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
So perhaps we simultaneously lose and don't lose most of our body heat through our heads?
Click to expand...

My understanding is
Most of the time, especially out in the field, people are dressed.

So if you are well kitted up but lack a head dress the place where the heat will likely leave your body is the uninsulated head.

Putting a head covering on fixed this gap in insulation.

It is like a bucket, most of the water comes out the hole in the top

Don't be a bucket , put a lid on.

To Stay on topic
Just as in any space game, the best space suit is useless if you take the helmet off in a vacuum.

Looks like CIG is at it again. Trying to get game devs to unionize and screw over gamers.

I feel for them...I really do...

...but to perhaps inject some objectivity into their overworked 40+ hours per 5 or 6 day week lives sitting at a monitor, they should all spend a mandatory 7 day week with me on the farm where I can introduce them to 14-18 hour days and crippling physical labour for a third or less of their current wages...and no, that's not overtime (doesn't exist in subsistence farming) and the boss (me) does the same or longer hours and has the same workload ;)

The mandatory crunch in my line of work is where you're so physically tired, you accidentally reverse the tractor over one of the minions who's collapsed with exhaustion on the floor of the byre...
