You commanders and your fancy doodads that you tack on to your gear...like LED lighting on a PC...real commanders do it with purely pre-upgraded gear...😁

I don't need no stinking upgraded gear, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night! 🤷‍♂️

Well, you ain't wrong. But it's not stopping me from doing anything. And I do particularly enjoy taking out my G1 control suit for a dose of reality and affirmation!

That was a play on Blazing Saddles IIRC, "Badges? Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!" Never, ever take me serious, I'm like Joker in Full Metal Jacket.;)

Edit: Remember when John Wayne said "Well, your awfully pretty when your angry". That's my favorite line I use on the wife all the time.

I keep reading about that, does it have something to do with the way the Steller Forge renders things?

Yeah, it is due to the distribution of mass by stellar forge, it calculates star systems in "boxels" (cubes of space) - so you get boxels of similar-density systems and then also groups of boxels that are themselves of similar density (a sector is a large cube made up of lots of boxels).

Unfortunately this has resulted in very defined cubes of stars near the galaxy's centre.

[Frontier calls these subsectors, by the way: the boxel is just a fan term that stuck somehow. Probably because it's shorter.] - to quote @marx

There was is a very detailed (and actually interesting) discovery scanner on the youtube but it seems not to want to play, the link is:

EDIT: Seems it will play for me now (imbedded at least).

In lieu of the video I found a thread created by @marx that covers some of this (and a whole lot more):

Marx's guide to boxels / subsectors

This topic seems to come up more and more often lately, so I thought I'd write another guide. Note that this will follow a more practical approach, mostly focused on explorers who heard about boxels and boxels surveys, and it won't go into detail about how sectors and boxel positions are...

If it was in Blazing Saddles it was a copy, the original we don’t need no stinking badges line is from Treasure of the Sierra Madre back in 1948.

I usually don't watch movies that old, never was a big fan of method acting and I'm sure your right.

It depends how good they are and if I like the subject and cast.


Not sure that I have heard that Humphrey Bogart was a method actor.


Well of course I am with the help of google

I guess that's my point, didn't pay much attention. I do remember when the first spaghetti western came out, pretty sure it was a Clint Eastwood movie, I was just a toddler but my mother said I would sit quietly through the entire movie. It made her happy. I liked the sound of the .45 Colt made in those movies, that whistling noise, also the camera angles behind the Clints pistol fan firing, pretty cool stuff.
