    Someone told me that he discovered weekends are way longer now that they also have mornings, because he is sober instead of having a hangover until the afternoon.

    I really liked his point of view about wasted time.

    Good job on your decision, if you need help we are all here. Personally I had great help from the book “the simple method” by Allen Carr and now I don’t even have cravings or think about drinking. It’s easier to not think about the first drink than the 15 following.






  • Yep, I don’t know what happened with the reviews lately. I know they did something with the servers, maybe with the PVP server so that might have made all those players angry.

    I don’t have any DLC ships, except maybe for some gifted ones and I only play solo pirate/merchant on the PVE server and don’t engage too much with the community.

    It is a very slow game, combats takes ages as well as trade runs. But that is what I like in those games, I just relax sailing and trying to demast some merchants. Maybe if I was participating with the community (port raiding for your nation etc) I would be angry too.


  • It is, but you have to progress a little in the AC story (or download a save somewhere) and then only play the naval gameplay.

    Although it is nice to be able to walk on a small patch of sand looking for a treasure or going to a city. It is an AC after all so foot and parkour gameplay is good. It offers a nice change of pace from being on your ship. Unlike the – Ahem – quadruple A Skull & Bones…




  • Here you go: KLGA/04 N0452F380 DCT GAYEL Q818 WOZEE LINNG3 CYYZ/15L

    And OP is wrong, the flight is too short to use great circles (376nm gnd dist).

    But if you like nice routes, this is a (not flown) polar route between Tokyo and Paris

    Not flown because of the Russian Airspace ban so few airlines fly them (I think only Emirates, Qatar and JAL can still fly them).

    Others do the long “FIR avoidance route” like this Paris Hong-Kong

    Edit: Hell, I found an old PHNL-LGAV that is totally not flown IRL but it creates a nice straight north line that is indeed a great circle around the pole (7300nm)






  • It’s like religion or something.

    Well yeah, people putting money to buy several ships (instead of only 45$ for the basic game package) are buying into a dream. The dream of the perfect space sim, a sim where you can be anything you want. That dream has been growing since Elite in 84 and the X-wing games in the 90. So yeah, kinda religion for the space sim nerds.

    Im certain they will deliver, no idea when, but they will achieve it so that’s cool for future gamers. If earth still exists that will be awesome as I will probably be near retirement and will have a shit ton of time to play.

    PS: I only own a medium ship that I bought from the kickstarter funding back in 2010-ish ? I wanted it to be my flying space home.



  • a lot of savings

    Savings for who? If nothing is changed and manufacturers (and retailers) doesn’t make any kind of commercial gesture, the only ones paying more are the American consumers.

    So moving the manufacture would be a saving for every Joe and Jane in the US, not Nintendo nor the ROTW.

    Not moving the manufacture might be a loss of % in their US consumer base as prices will be too high there, but is it big enough to justify the enormous costs needed to move an entire industry workflow?

    I don’t think so, specially when there is so many instability in the US politic, if you move to an other country at great cost and 2 weeks later a new tariff is declared (because why not), you moved everything for no reason but still lost your investment.

    My belief is that no industry nor country will adapt, they will just increase the US market prices and keep on living like before with the ROTW. The only ones to suffer will be the American citizens and I’m sorry for them, but there is an all planet to trade with.
