  1. Because there are social, legal and other timing factors required to take into consideration for the spreading of accurate information?

    Settle down, they will tell us what we need to know when they have a cogent statement to make.

    There is no factor to take into consideration when you tell people whether you work for a company or not.

    You could ask me the second after I got fired from my last job whether I was still working with that company or not - I could give you the answer "No, I do not".

    What factors are there to take into account?

  2. That is not even remotely what's happening. You'll get information when there's information to be given, I apologize but that's all that can be stated at the moment. -DR

    We just ask a simple question that has a yes/no answer that you can answer easily: Are you still with Squad?

    How can you not have information on that?

    One thing never get's old, shooting for the stars just for the sake of going there. -DR

    What's with the pics and vids with these captions?

    If you're no longer with Squad, say so

    If you're still with Squad, say so

  4. Whatisthisidonteven, I have to disagree there. Compassion and altruism can naturally occur in people, just like it's opposites.

    Saying someone is going to hell for something bad they've done, doesn't really change their morals/ethics, it just scares them.

    And doing something good to get into heaven is doing good for the wrong reasons. It's still selfish in a certain way.

    Doing good for no other reason than to please/help other people is true altruism.

    But indeed, I like the fact that there's been no full on flamewar, this just goes to show that this really is the best internetcommunity I've seen.

    We'll just ignore the bad apples.

    Compassion does not naturally occur in people anywhere near as much as it does when there is a reason for it. It seems barbaric, but we are still the same species we were thousands of years ago - We just use computers and wear clothes now.

  5. Religion in a nutshell = People arguing over who has the best imaginary friend.

    What a constructive post.

    I don't want be picky, but someone here bring an touchy subject: ethics vs belief in god... why someone with other beliefs (or not believing in god at all) should be less moral than religious people ?

    Peoples ethics are matter of choice, not belief or (worst case) being scared about eternal consequences.

    Most morals in society today come from religious texts. Laws are also based on teachings from religious texts.

    You can't really say if ethics only come from religion, because we don't know what would have happened if there was no religion. But think of it like this, a human a couple of thousand years ago says to another human

    "Don't steal"

    Why should he listen? There's no police/law, so he can do it and get away with it.

    But say it changes to this

    "Don't steal or you will be condemned to Hell for eternity"

    Suddenly this guy doesn't want to steal anymore. This is how morals were held up in society before laws and organised government. To know that you are going to be judged for doing something bad is the reason we don't do bad things. You don't break the law today because you don't want to get sent to jail. And for religious people, we also believe that we'll get sent to Hell, so we try to be good people. Those without religion don't care as long as they get over the fact that they could go to jail. Religious people don't do it because we know our punishment is not only in this life, but the next too - Which is eternal.

    Eternal suffering or eternal joy, I know which one I pick.

  6. Hate? I don't see that, as I just pointed out. In fact, I'm seeing the most civil statements I've ever seen on any internet discussion on the subject. Don't confuse disagreement with hate, much less an attack on your beliefs. You might be a minority according to the poll on this forum, but I at least am perfectly happy to let you believe what you want, if you will just return the favour. As long as we can both agree to that, I think we can keep at it, perhaps we will both learn something.

    See

    No. Religion is hilarious to me.

    This is the sort of thing I'm talking about.

    My post wasn't aimed at you, by the way.

  7. Yes, I'm an Anglican. Quite disappointed to read through the thread and see so much hate towards religion. These militant atheists are just as annoying as any fundamentalist religious person.

  8. Hmm for some reason, whenever I have the GUI open and I eject, or release or do anything with a winch with a grapple on it, the GUI just goes blank and then none of the buttons or controls for the winch work.

    Yeah, I'm having this issue too. It also slows the game down a lot by flooding the debug console with an error

    Just use a connector port under the connector, like this : winch > connector > connector port > rovers parts

    Here is an example from the documentation :

    PS : Did you see the correct documentation ? Space port one are wrong, It's the old one, and I can't find a way to update it (bug ? Refresh time ?)

    Please look at the third post on this thread.

    That doesn't let me pick it back up, the rover and skycrane are unmanned so I can't swap out the part connector for an electromagnet. (Unless I'm missing something)

  9. Nice, been waiting for the 0.19 release so I can get my skycrane working

    EDIT: I don't understand how I'm supposed to make my skycrane now, it's all changed and the documentation doesn't make much sense to me.

    I put the winch and then the electromagnet, but then I can't attach the rover to it. I have no idea where the connector goes. If I put the connector on and then the magnet, I can't attach the rover. If I put the magnet on first then I can't attach the connector. I know about the part connector but it's not really just a skycrane, I want it to be able to retrieve the rover and carry it around too.
