I have to say I'm ridiculously impressed by the extent and glory on display in that article.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.

RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Guess, I need to fire up ED this weekend to grab this.

I go that free one a long time ago.

I booted this up today for the first time in about a year.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or feature.  When I engage the frame drive to go into supercruise, like when you're within maybe 30Ls away from a space station, my throttle stops responding.

I'm using a CH Fighterstick/Throttle HOTAS set up.  The throttle works when I'm not in frame drive, but when I go into frame drive it stops responding so I can't slow down to drop out of hyperdrive/supercruise. 

Also, the game will recognize the ministick "up" direction in the controls setup, but in game it won't recognize that direction no matter what I map it to; the other directions work fine.

I'm thinking this is a bug.  I can't figure it out.

That's a bug, for sure.  You should submit a ticket to FD.  My HOTAS does not operate in that way at all.

Gamescon hasn't even started and already there is new information on patch 2.2 being released.

PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

Its been a long time since I booted this up...probably since right after the Horizon's beta was released.

I've been thinking about logging in and picking up where I have left off, but I'm afraid of losing my expensive Python due to unfamiliarity with new game systems. I know some of you guys are still active with it...how has it changed over the last year or so? Anything in particular I would need to look out for? What are the best ways to earn credits these days?

Ok - I was going to stay out of this and let some other hard core Elitist reply - particularly as I wasn't very good at it...but as you've been starved of responses...

I haven't been in it a great deal...not in the last month or so at least. What I do know is when I did last play it for a few days (maybe a couple of months ago?), it was much more enjoyable.

Apart from Horizons and it being (seemingly) easier to trade, I can't say I found it that different or daunting to jump back in after my hiatus. You remember my complete inability to make any money, right? Well, I was able to increase my wealth considerably in those days. So if I was to hazard a guess, trade is either a)easier or b)more plentiful.

Either way - when I jumped in I was familiar with everything in short order and enjoyed it.

So jump in - I'm sure you'll find the water fine.  O0
