Nice. :)

Don't know about it being terrestrial, as far as I know hanse/hansa basically just meant a trading guild, so I thought it would be appropriate. Oh, well, doesn't matter much.

I agree with this, in any case. 'Subsim' doesn't sound terribly appropriate to any space organization I can think of, in any case, so it's a bit hard to justify on the in-universe side as well.

That is correct.

I like the sound of this, works well on all accounts. :yep:

I second that motion.
A non-trading specific name gives us more room when it comes to activities

Yup sign me up.

My mind just instantly goes to the established example. Terrestrial thinking I guess.


Righto, didn't really mean to force anything but I do want to move it along, so: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/SSBN

I'd appreciate any comments and thoughts. I tried giving it some flavor in the history, manifesto and charter bits but obviously it's a first draft.


PM or post your player handle (prolly best PM) and I'll send invites, or just send in an application.

Love the name :)

I'll send my aplication as soon as I have exhausted all terrestrial options.
Hard to grow my tomatoes in space :)

The only thing that can not be changed later is the UID, so the name, the type etc can be ammended later...we dont have to agree on all the bits and pieces now.

The UID can be SUBSIM and then later be named "SUBSIM Merchants" :)

Some great skins for the ships are turning up:

what's the point of wings if they don't provide lift? what's the point of lift in space?

their ship designs are so unbelievably stupid, i don't know how they could have just went with it.

"lets make a deep, sophisticated space sim...and put cliched wings everywhere!!"

*sound of a piece of **** slapping on the side of a wall*

*facepalm*

Heat radiators.

There isn't, but since these ships are supposed to be capable of entering the atmosphere and landing on planets, I really don't see the problem...

Weapons platforms and less force is requiered for manuevering the further the thrusters are from the center mass point.
And we are not the borg :O:

Are you quite sure of that?

Twitter, facebook, entire sections of people knowing exactly what we're doing, a shared collective consciousness.
Sounds Swedish... :yep:

Yup! They are supposed to land as well...
