Anyone have the skinny on how badly the DLC is going to break all our most complicated blue prints?

So, I was trying to parse through all the various info on decay rates vs orbit and I stumbled on something that should have been obvious. Mass has a sizeable effect on decay times. Duh...right?

Here's what I found (assuming circular orbit at 550km and 30 m2 drag area):

V1 260kg: 1450 days 3.9 years

V1.5 306kg: 1648 days 4.5 years

V2M 800kg: 3211 days 8.8 years

V2 1250kg: 4144 days 11.3 years

These numbers are sort of the best case scenario time wise/worst case scenario drag wise. I'm guessing in reality that once a satellite no longer maintains its orientation, the heavy part will swing out front (velocity wise) and the solar panel will trail behind. To the extent that is the case,

Occasionally the "Top Communities" list on the front page starts auto refreshing literally as fast as it possibly can.

This would not be that huge of a deal but it causes the entire page to reload so you get sent back to the top every time it happens.

Makes the front page completely unusable.

It's been going on for some time (sporadically...it seems to magically fix itself after some time...until it comes back). I posted to an older topic a week or so ago that didn't have any traffic and the latest search was 17 days old so i just created a new one.

PLEASE FIX (or just remove that silly tab that I've never actually used)

THANKS YOU!

Allows you to inform Steam that the Dev has broken the game as an April Fools prank and seemingly taken a long weekend to enjoy all the lulz he's generated for himself.

So do yourself a favor and report the game to Steam as broken so that maybe the Dev will start paying a tiny bit of attention to the calamity he's created.

Are we looking at the full weekend or next patch cycle or what?

Since you can't stop Steam from updating the game, it would be nice if you could select the version of the game you want to play in the "betas" list.

This is a good thing for everyone. Please consider adding it.

In particular, "I'm Not Like Everybody Else".

So, I just recently found the live version from 1996 that's featured in Cold Cuts (and had it on repeat for most of the weekend)...

...I guess it's finally sinking in how many layers there are to that song.

The 1996 version is almost as much a lament as it is an anthem of rebellion. Or maybe it speaks to the cost of being a "rebel" or selfish or what have you. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

But the great thing about the song is that you can shout along to it with gusto and not even have a second thought about some of the potentially deeper

Just finished a build somewhat related to the game and got er all installed and was getting ready fire it up and ......

How long did it take to download for you? I'm looking at about 30 hours!

Just got into FAF and downloaded the client but when I search for a specific replay ID, the "loading replays" message just keeps spinning.

Anyone else seen this before?

Looking for something to add a few thousand item slots. Will settle for a few hundred or even 5. Anything.

Help a brother out? Would also be willing to dive into files and whatnot if it's just a value change in there. TYVMIA
