Strict Newtonian mechanics does not make for an entertaining game. Even Braben acknowledges this on the Kickstarter page. Neither do laser weapons in a dogfight. In both games the combat boiled down to two ships desperately trying not to crash into each other while jousting like two marbles on the end of a rubber band.
I beg to differ.
When I played IWar2, I modded the hell out of it. One of the tweaks was to make it even easier to ignore the "maximum" throttle position, meaning you got exactly what you described above. Coupled with some tweaks to the armoring systems - a single lucky shot could cripple you (every hull strike did damage to internals, so if you got unlucky that shot might (temporarily) offline your thrusters)... and I loved it.. Graphics and sound are very important for this though. Play it on mute with crap graphics and it quickly loses it's appeal. It's the missile proximity alarms, hull impacts etc...
Still, I don't think that's necessary for this kind of thing. Taking the whole system down is just heavy-handed for no reason other than laziness or malice.
It wouldn't be such a problem if they would stop shutting the whole damn thing down whenever someone does something wrong. They don't need to do that. I'm surprised they haven't figured out they could get by without a lot of whining/protesting if they just stop using a bulldozer when a hammer is appropriate.
Give them maybe a week to at least respond. Then go full public. Give them a chance (months is not just a "chance" so, you're still right on that count)

Having no faith in the system has nothing to do with being educated or not.
He pops early. So, less 'in' and more 'on.'
That's why you don't put political advertisements or statements on your car. It's like a psycho magnet.
It's not a joke if it's not funny.
That is not the demographic that drives all technology spending. Your premise is incorrect.
What planet you living on? Most people don't even make half that through their whole lives.
So enforce punitive measures, rather than policing prevention.
Eg, if you get caught buying, selling, or coercing votes, you're fucked. Spend time/money here, so we can actually have the benefits of auditing.
Congress doesn't elect the President.

X3 (and I think X2) you get the time accelerator from the start.
Customer reviews on the app store don't matter if the user doesn't go to the app store to get it.
Indeed. I remember when a 40gb disk was huge.
To... much... bloat...
What jobs? Oh, you mean those indentured workers over in China? You really think people are going to cry about that?
They can stop breaking guitars, too.
I've seen the gear that does it. Pretty fancy.

Then take an image, and bring it back up (with the suspect accounts suspended). There is no reason to take it all down for so long.
Are you omniscient? That's a pretty large claim to make.
Look, it's not hard.
If you don't want it to be readable by random schmucks, encrypt it before you stick it in the cloud. You should have been doing that anyway.

Which is retarded and needs to be fixed. It's not wiretapping.
I've heard beyond the horn, but only because I was too stunned by disbelief to hang up.
Oooh now that is dirty.
quick and dirty: cron jobs that wipe the history file every minute.
I thought of that in about 5 seconds.
He will if he values his job.
