This post gives me Destiny 2 flashbacks. I'll likely pass if that's the kind of thing we are getting.

People blame Bethesda's game engine for all kinds of crap but that's not what hurts Starfield the most. A lot of what people attribute to the game engine isn't engine related. They are deliberate design decisions. We know this because modders are able to remove a significant amount of these...

The ship building is fairly shallow, but this is primarily due to the extreme limitations of the system out of the box and the limitations it puts on how many weapons you can have and the difficulty, or lack thereof of the space combat. When you mod the crap out of the game, you can do a lot...

I would have preferred a less "realistic" approach to the game world complete with aliens and a less NASA looking aesthetic. But I think that level of creativity is probably far beyond Bethesda and Todd Howard at this point. They make choices that rarely if ever make sense. Partly because their...

With auto-negotiation, the switch port and NIC should run at the highest speed the slower of the two is capable of.

Actually, it does model flight. With mods to speed up the flight speed of the ships, you can actually fly around within a star system. The limitation is that you can't actually approach a planet and fly through its atmosphere, land etc. The problem is that they scaled it for realistic flight...

Ship building has me over 600 hours in the game. Sure, I've played through the entire game a couple times but the rest is all in the ship builder.

Not really. The resolution is going to be more demanding. That's going to drop your frame rates unless you put your games in potato mode. It's 5120x1440 versus 2560x1440 and that's a pretty significant difference. Secondly, not all games support a 32:9 ratio all that well. If gaming is your...

Yeah, I encountered him randomly in one playthrough.

I typically use 60mm radiators. As for the fans, I've found no real improvement going with a push/pull setup over a single fan. It just increases your cost, noise, case vibration, etc. As I said, you really only need push/pull for super thick radiators where you flat out need more air flow to...

I actually have one of these cases. That's what my last build was in. The answer would be "no". I don't think it can. I have standard thickness radiators with a basic fan setup. Looking at the increased depth of 20mm more thickness and double the fan thickness, I think the top radiator will run...

Same. My GTX 1080 Ti's were the very last ones I bought and I had been doing them since the GeForce 6800 Ultra days. I also had the Voodoo 2 SLI 12MB SLI setup back in the day. When the RTX 2080 Ti came out, it wasn't as fast as my GTX 1080 Ti setup in all cases but it provided an overall...

I very much doubt the findings. There is a slant here for the type of users that end up with MACs. Trust me, if its a mixed environment they aren't happy. Apple also has a cult-like following devoid of objectivity in its users. Beyond that, Apple is heavily entrenched in certain niche industries...

I don't know. I don't have anything. It's a new game and I don't have crew yet and I don't loot bullshit that is of no use to me.

Tons of fixes. The big thing is now we have empty habs and you can decorate the interior of the ship just like you can decorate the outposts. The benefit is also that having nothing in the habs allows them to open more than one way into the hab. Lots of cool menu options for tuning your gameplay...
