I never got far into it. There were some technical issues, such as vsync messing up the mouse sensitivity, and I gave it up almost immediately.
Now that I have a 144Hz monitor, which makes screen tearing much less noticeable, I might give it another try with vsync disabled.
Hi ya @Straatford87
As I keep getting XP from one thread or another, I've found my self back on the forums reading away.
Lots of good ideas here
I've attached my 2 favourite pictures since the last time we talked, for your interest.
The first is a close up of Saturns rings, and how dense they are. They're semi viscous if anything. Perhaps if they where oxygenated you could put fish in them. I wouldn't be surprised if water bears where already happily living there
Such a beautiful natural process. They rings are also quite thick, the picture is only showing you the surface..
The second picture, is of the moon Prometheus. I'd never actually seen it before the beginning of this month, and I'm a Saturn fanatic, so I'd thought it best to share.
Its out in Saturns F ring all serene.
And the last picture is over the English Channel on the night of May 28th. They're referred to as Red Spirtes. They're basically a giant electronic organism/mechanism in the upper atmosphere.
Magestic and timeless, and yet very alien looking
Yet again any of these real scientific scenes would fit a Dead Space 4 perfectly.
Hope all is well.
And if your after a good film, may I recommend an English Zombie Film called "The Girl with all the Gifts" it's a great watch. You can also have a laugh about our silly accents...
Hello @Straatford87
i deleted my account with ea around 4 months ago, due to an abusive mod over on the Star Wars Forums. But I still get emails asking me to do betas and an email this morning about this here thread.
I spoke to the EA.com help this morning. They can’t recover my Origin Account, so I’ve least around a thousand pounds worth of games. I’m not too fussed though.
Theyve allowed me to just create another account using the same email etc, so
I’m expecting it to go wrong shortly.
Anyways hows you?
Weve been busy over here. The UK government has just given us 48.9 million to start making our own space port here at Goon Hilly. It’s a good start.
Weve been fighting internally at ESA and NASA for a while now.
Our main project at present is to make a space submarine that is to got to Titan, Saturn’s moon. To explore Kracken Mare. Titan is the only other planetary body that has rivers, lakes and tributaries.
Even though it is a sea of hydrocarbons, which is around minus 300 on the surface and even colder inside. The submarine can have no moving part, rudders or propellor as any movement with in the sea would cause it to catch fire indefinitely.
I was also finally proven right by Juno this month also. I’ve always maintained Jupiter does indeed have a surface. And Juno’s X-Ray imageries have proven this. So I feel vindicated amongst the scientific community. That made me feel happy.
We also have been designing new weapons and engines too.
We currently have a new ESA engine that we can put on our satellites now that will remove the need for Argon as a fuel, thus allowing them to stay up for 20-40 years instead of the normal 4 years.
Weve also been tracking Ti-Gong 1 a lot this week as it seems to be heading to America to crash at Minisota. So if your near Minasota when it crashes Tom, don’t touch anything. The 8 ton module will be highly poisonous so don’t touch, or even go near any left over hydrazine.
I remade my EA account Tom just to talk to you. Thanks for all the pleasant art before. If only they’re where mods like you.
Here I will show you a few of our newest finds...
Saturn is my favourite place. But Jupiter, which is older than the sun and our entire solar system really doesn’t care about physics. Those storms shouldn’t be doing that
oh and the last picture is of EARTH! It’s from Kepler...
Look how much light we are giving off now....
Ive been messing around with sticky photons and chemical weapons. Im hopping to use a reticulating chemical laser to restive matter from space next. There’s a crater that’s been hit twice on mars recently by asteroids. In the Newley disturbed crater is a sapphire that’s approximately 8 million years old. You could use this Safire here on earth to cut through diamond like butter.
The reticulating chemical laser will dissolve it upon contact and allow for the sapphire to be brought back to earth via chemical reaction in the laser itself. Then here on earth we have to make a magnetic field to siphon off the actually chunks of the sapphire we bring here.
Its the same sort of tech that we use to shoot down Russia nukes etc.
So instead of going all the way there to get it, we can use light and chemical reactions with in it to bring it too us.
I shouldn’t probably say too much, we are really coming on here in our space exploration.
we have also got much further with eMdrives, to the point they are becoming quite viabale, especially for that submarine we are sending to Titan. As so far that’s the only thrust we have that won’t cause that moon to blow up when we get their.
my projects finish in 2024 when the curiosity finally makes it to mars to start exploring the ancient volcanic lava flows under the surface. As that’s where I expect us to find life.
My professor has projects to 2015 as he’s involved in the new telescope that goes up then which will make a full 3D 360 degree map of space
At NASA we are only allowed to push for one project out of six at a time, but thankfully the ESA has no restrictions.
Heres also a reason we are doing our own space port. I shouldn’t say as not many know.
Around a month ago a spaceX vertical take off rocket launched from Cape Canaveral to land at the take off platform in the middle of the Atlantic. Upon landing on the take off platform, it missed, the landing pad, and a 300 million SpaceX rocket ended up At the bottom of the Atlantic with crew etc onboard.
As we are a major investor in SpaceX and I have friends on the board, we are withdrawing simply because of that. It it purposed that the Rocket will be recovered and repurposed later. But it was still 300 million plus wasted. Doing our own space port will remove this from happening.
Oh and the other thing I must say is about Hydrogen 7. Have you seen that big old diamond they found with Ice IIV in. The Hydrogen 7 is worth 1000 times that of the diamond.
It sort of proves that under the tech tonic plates and under the lava flow, there is indeed another ocean waiting to also be explored.
Well I hope I haven’t bored you, or gotten myself into trouble disclosing private contracts, but hey, if I have there’s nothing they can do about it.
Isnt Science Great.
Any idea what that update to Dead Space this week was about?
i was quite surprised to see one after10 years?...
Oh, and even though I’ve only opene an account today, I’ve just got my two year anniversary badge. Lol
Did you hear about the big punch up as well at Houston? Another reason we are leaving SpaceX is because it put many observatories back by over a year or more, when they launched they’re stupid Tranquillity Star. It blocked every telescope on eart pretty much, so when the unauthorised astronaughts returns they where promptly beaten up by a rather large group of astronomers.
since this occurred, we are also to set up relays above alerts and mars with the purposed function of having a space force/police to stop it from happening again.
Heres a few more finds from the last couple of months too.
In the picture of Jupiter, those are ice burgs floating in the upper atmosphere, but if that’s wasn’t strange enough, since we crashed Cassini into it with its nucular payload the floating ice burgs are all turning pink. We think it’s from a change in PH or some other form of planetary wide reaction.
And what the hell happened to the Crab Nebula, it was one of my favourite nebulas going. Now look at it, it’s gone and that vortex that’s had it away is now seeming to be spewing matter into the solar system like it’s a black hole having a burp
And the last picture is Titan - you can see the reflection of the surface.
Unfortunately every planet and moon we have searched so far only has ionic water, so it’s of no use to us here on Earth. Earths water is totally unique and doesn’t exist anywhere else we found at present.
The banks also did a report for us that states fresh water on Earth will run out by 2030 if not before, so we really need to find more non ionic water soon.
The other issue with Titan, is we know the sea of hydrocarbons occasional release bubbles from the sea bed, like here on earth, but unlike here on earth, those bubbles would cut through titanium with ease.
But hey, how doesn’t like a design challenge...
The stipulation is that under Titans hydrocarbon lakes etc, they’re might be another ocean of water, which we need to check. If it’s ionic water again, we will have to start designing another sumpbmarine to land on Enceladus, and to super heat it’s frame until it melts through to the ocean below. Most in the community wanted to do this first, but due to contamination issues, if there is life inside it, it’s been put back.
Who would have thought the search for drinkable water would take us so far.
But then there’s that adage - necessity is the mother of invention.
Either way, I know I wouldn’t want to go anywhere near the crab nebular at present. That just isn’t right.
Hope I haven’t bored you or dumped to much on you. One day these things that most thought was science fiction will become scientific fact.
Perhaps we will see these new technologies and practices, let alone these new locations one day in another game in the fabled Dead Space series.
Kind regards Tom
Richard
