that's not a way you deal with pests.. would you handle people who kidnap children the same way? just find other people's children and leave them around your yard to keep kidnappers away from your children ?

that is absolutely true, and I mentioned it a couple of times - at least in space - flying the spacecraft as an aircraft above the landscape of planets though is very enjoyable, especially at a speed which is more like that of a sailplane. NMS is a game for planetary activities, space flight is not really what it is about.
Need some pests around to feed the hedgehogs.
Have you tried placing a number of golden rings around instead?
the new station unconfirmed :
Absolutely.
And I would infect those bait kids with some rare, deadly virus my whole familiy would be vaccinated against.
I think polishing your log is positively frowned upon these days.

Depends - is there a massive toad sitting on it?
no i only got frogs on my log 
Massive toad:
it probably does it in a different way than the frame shift drive in ED - let's say if it can fold spacetime over larger distances, then 1000 lys is just a step away, where both folds meet. so it would not move a warp bubble through spacetime, but fold spacetime to make a short jump where those folds meet. The warp energy isn't used to propel the warp bubble but to fold spacetime accordingly to be able to make that tiny move to end up 1000 lys from where you started (measured in unfolded spacetime distance, but in the folded form it is just a short distance away) - that is how I imagine it.
man...the drinking game one could have by taking a shot every time someone posts about uk consumer protection laws on the braben thread.
I haven't dared leave this thread for a while. How is it in the outside world.
That stuff is really gloopy, and gets everywhere

NMS ftl is like a weirdish warp drive. where you compress space in front of you and travel across this compressed space where it is expanded back behind you - multiplying your speed beyond that of light but locally you never travel faster than normal speeds.
nms also has wormhole travel.
elite has hyperspace and warp. warp being much like nms ftl and functioning during supercruise. However, above a certain energy threshhold, this opens a tear in our dimension into hyperspace. jump drives tech ...along with the size of the ship and thus energy needed to open the hyperspace corridor dictate the time it takes to traverse hyperspace. Current jump drives are very good at what they do (because we stole the tech from thargoids), and so ships can jump nearly instantly...spending very little time in hyperspace. Thargoids however can theoretically, spend as much time as they want in hyperspace. Older tech would have hyperspace travel measured in hours or days depending on distance.
high jumps are not about folding space in elite, but closer to something like creating an artificial wormhole between two points in space. Space hasn't moved, you've just punched a hole thru it to create a custom - temporary shortcut thru hyperspace.

i'm not sure why official fdev news posts like that even have comments turned on. it's not like any of the responses are going to be worth having or listened to.

for some reason, your youtube posts never have the url ...so all you get is the blank area since videos aren't embedded anymore (properly) in the forum.
other people's though, you usually get the hyperlink at the bottom ...if you wanted to actually see what was posted (hopefully not a bad music video from some garbage artist)
edit: though the embedded preview does show up in the quoted reply.
Guess they got the Odyssey devs to do some forum work.
"Realism" is a gradient, and on that gradient Elite doesn't fare too bad imho. It's no RogueSys, CoaDE or Kerbal, and the compromises forced in by multiplayer make it fare a lot worse than FE2/FFE, as cartoony as they were graphically, but it's pretty far from NMS on that same scale. Whether it's worth it after that is a question of personal taste. Personally, I enjoy the whole spectrum, so I appreciate having games settling for different compromises.
