Open letter to FD concerning fleet carriers...

[Stealthie]

Also, will I be able to use it to make my ship glow in the dark?

Whenever I hear "tritium", I always think of this.

 

[Vandaahl]

Yes.

(Bless Tothos)

Would be cool to see 2 of these after a boost =>

Btw, that was Tsar Bomba I believe...

 

[Rubbernuke]

From memory tritium gas is used in nuclear warheads, and like things such as petrol lose 'potency' over time.

 

[Noobilite]

We'll probably get a look into the reasoning behind this on the 2nd of April with the reveal. But it doesn't hurt to ask questions.

I still can't see why they didn't do april 1st... They would be covering both possible reactions that way when the actual news hits.

Space legs is going to be more like no mans sky than star citizen.

Heard it here first.

Not that hard since nms today is practically elite dangerous when there is overlap.

While I like (the idea of) SC much more than NMS, if NMS had ED's graphics and their ships had ED's flight model I'd sure as heck be playing NMS instead.

BTW, I still haven't seen it in the forum, but FD announced on Facebook that the beta for fleet carriers starts April 7th on PC.

I think it's Ivy Mike... first H-bomb test ever

 

[Vandaahl]

I think it's Ivy Mike... first H-bomb test ever

Yeah, you're right

Had this picture in my head and thought it looked like it:

 

[Fawkner]

I think it's Ivy Mike... first H-bomb test ever

Scary, but kind of beautiful!

 

[Inscydeus]

We all know FCs are powered by Lavian Brandy.

This would make Didi Vatermann the single most powerful person in the galaxy.

 

[antiriad]

Scary, but kind of beautiful!

I agree...

It's from the movie "Trinity and Beyond" which I believe is on YouTube - well worth a watch


Edit:

There you go

[antiriad]

Yeah, you're right

Had this picture in my head and thought it looked like it:

Scarily, that was 5 times the size of Ivy Mike!

 

[Vandaahl]

Scarily, that was 5 times the size of Ivy Mike!

And it was reduced to produce half of its designed yield

 

[Dagwit]

Also, will I be able to use it to make my ship glow in the dark?

Whenever I hear "tritium", I always think of this.

Is that a SUSAT? Are you suggesting that Fleet Carriers are going to work every bit as well as the L85 did when it was introduced?

A commander not a million Ly away is * twitching * but with delight like some Bromellite Smaug.....

Will the FC Beta be like the beta when the Mamba and Phantom were introduced? In other words, if we join the beta, and we have enough credits, will we be able to buy a FC and test fly it ? (and doesn't affect our real world account)

Tritium ... cool stuff. I think a friend has a tritium night sight. Since I can acquire Lithium(6) via refinery systems, can I use it in a "reactor" and make Tritium ?
(maybe a new piece of equipment I can buy to convert Lithium to Tritium) -- or has somebody else mentioned this before ?
