There are multiple STL's available on the various archive sites. I've attached the 3 I have saved in my 3D printing folder. I also have the one vision posted, so I skipped that one.

Well... it's a heater, but it's a resistance heater. It's used for a nice hot cuppa

Isaac I don’t believe in your crazy flat moon conspiracy theory. :) I liked playing D3 with Bunyip except when he would try to compare and contrast our skill levels. I like friendly matches, not grudge matches like what people who hated me wanted…. I’m not saying Bunyip did this but other people did ...

That would require that flat earthers actually do math, which is something completely unreasonable to expect from them.

They'd just claim it was refraction anyway. LOL

You've said that you can do a lot of things "easily," so maybe it's time to put up or shut up. Neo keeps referencing debunked hypotheses. You know the drill... If your experiment proves you wrong, just disregard the results and try something different. Albert Einstein's definition of insanity ...

I've been looking at the GeForce RTX cards to upgrade my aging GTX 1080 ti SLI setup. Do you even Benchmark?

Sorry to hear that. Though we never became friends, despite our disagreements I respected him deeply and always enjoyed facing him in the mines. He was a part of the fabric of the Descent community and he will be missed. We are less without him. Condolences to you and the family. I wish you all the ...

I would really have liked to meet Neo in person at a LAN or other gathering but I doubt that was ever in the cards - especially after all of their shenanigans. It's sad really, they would have been accepted - this community was originally founded and sustained on in-person interaction as much as ...

I think I'm gonna dip out of this convo because it's so irrational. There's a LOT of convincing, even compelling empirical evidence that we do not live on a flat Earth. The opposite cannot be said to be true, instead we have faith-based claims and basic denials of the empirical evidence (and claims ...

Isn't climate change part of the natural evolution of a planet? Why are we so worried about it? Aren't we supposed to adapt? Just to be clear: There is a distinct difference between natural climate change and anthropogenic climate change. If we're driving the change faster than we can adapt, there ...

by my calculations, that'd exceed the speed limit (300,000 km/s). But only by a bit. Depends on where you how you derive your mach number, I suppose.

If the Earth is flat - where's the edge? I just told you. The earth isn't a planet, it's a world. It didn't form as a "celestial body," it was created by God. The edge is where the Antarctica ice wall meets the firmament. Not sure why you felt it necessary to "correct" my terminology but ok, I'll ...

It's amazing what one orbit around the planet would do to change some people's worldviews. Conversely, if you could just show others the edge of this flat planet, their worldview would change. If the Earth is flat - where's the edge? It seems a lot easier than to go there than to get into orbit ...

Studies have shown that there are strong correlations between suicides and mass shooters. Check out "The Violence Project", for example. They suggest mental health approaches based on specific data on mass killers. Not just some "oh mentally ill people are bad" diversion. Obviously the demonizing is ...

Disclaimer: I like guns. There are several in my house. I am uneasy with the thought of gun control, not so much because I disagree with the idea as that I understand and believe that the end game is gun seizure. I am honest enough to admit that I like the idea of me having a gun a whole lot more ...

I have an RC helicopter (Blade MCPX BL) I can hover around, technically its a full collective pitch chopper that can do all the crazy stuff you see them doing like hovering inverted. Basically a quad copter on steroids that is a bit harder to control but in exchange can do some pretty absurd ...

1. Quadcopters. Not sure why Descent players are so rare in this hobby. It's incredibly accessible if you just want to fly, and incredibly rewarding as well, even more so if you're also into building and customization. You can get into FPV flight for 300 bucks with an RTF Tiny Whoop kit. With a ...

The irony.

I think the reflexive reactions are kind of un-called for. Why not humor him and who knows? Maybe learn something. You never know.

I for one hope you DO crack gravity once and for all. I wouldn't mind flying an actual RL pyro and getting my space wings. Try to avoid the whole ai revolt thing tho.

The question is do the drones in this game fly like ships in Descent (completely ignoring gravity so they are able to fly or hover in any orientation), or are they more like a real life drone (can only hover upright) or collective pitch helicopter (can only hover upright or fully upside down ...

There's a demo on Steam which should answer your questions.. I didn't realize, gonna have to check it out myself.. a real life drone (can only hover upright) 3D quads have been a thing for a bit now... Not sure how it equates to CP helis, it's not nearly as terrifying, that's for sure. Building a 3D ...

Looks interesting, though I'm mostly disappointed with modern attempts at 6DOF

Out of curiosity though, why not just drone IRL...
