Well, maybe the cost will go down when we open up the solar system for resource explotation and improve recycling methods.

... What does that have to do with ANYTHING?

Anyway, back to topic: are those cruisers hollow inside? By the size of the supports, I would assume yes, but then again that would make them rather fragile, no? You wouldn't expect models to be particularly durable would you? The cost savings by making them hollow is huge, as well. I'm sure if you...

Wow, just did a bit of reading on Graphene, it sounds a bit like one of those "dream materials" from science fiction where somebody discovers it and they start using it for everything.

Yes, they use it for support structures, etc. One of the examples my Prof likes to show off is 3 concentric lattice spheres, and a fully functional mini-wrench, both of which were formed in one piece, no assembly required. Which in an of itself can save companies thousands. I agree with Gary, I'm su...

Ah yes that's right. I remembered my Prof. showed us the raw material, but I couldn't remember if it was a block or not. Yes, I believe ours is a spool-fed as well. What is the advantage of a 2-material printer like I described vs yours? What kind of time does it take to print a full-size model with...

They are fed either solid bricks of material or perhaps a powder/liquid depending on the type. My college has a 36" cube one which melts bricks of 2 types of plastics. The whitish plastic is the product, and there is a blackish plastic that dissolves in a special solution which is used as a sort of ...

That's awesome! I'm not much of a freespace fan, but still... That looks awesome!

Wow, are 3D printers really coming down that far in price now? It might not be so unreasonable after all for them to start becoming commonplace. What's the per-model cost like?

The latest cash shop addition?

But if you aren't playing.. can I have your stuff? I need to fund my obsession somehow.

Sitting in station costs money now?

If sitting in the same station my last corp left me in training skills counts as playing, then yeah. I'd worship the very soil CCP walked on if they nerfed minmatar. It's one of the things that keeps me from playing it: Being so hopelessly outclassed by anybody simply because they fly winmatar. man...

I dunno about the whole game in general, but I still love the title theme of both original Descent games.

Wow you guys are way better at character customization than I am... Or Caldari characters just look better

That's too much work just to give you advice.
