At this week's sim meetup we had a preview of the new torpedo system... so we made this video walkthrough of firing solutions, which maximise the chance of a torpedo hitting its target before even being launched.
This Saturday's sim meetup will feature a preview of the torpedo system, which is expected to be available in the simulator in the next couple of weeks.
At this Sim Meetup we were doing some tuning work on tactical sensors, so it seemed like a good time to walk through how EMDAR is used to detect and target other vessels in space.
Meet Master Chief Molly who leads the ISDC's elite beagle unit. Molly frequently joins us at the simulator, but we realise not everyone is comfortable with dogs...
At this week's meetup we'll be re-filming the training video for the 'Martian Star' navigation evolution, which crew use to practise key impulse maneuvering techniques. Drop by to see how it's done or take the helm and give it a go yourself!
Every Saturday from 1-4pm has been designated as a "meetup" at the simulator, when it will be open to visitors and crew will be available to answer their questions and show them around.
Take a look at the nearly completed training simulator expansion, which packs twice as many touchscreen panels for greater system coverage and (perhaps controversially) a forward viewscreen.
The phase one simlator recently completed is already in for an upgrade, but following crew feedback our plans have changed from a two-sim facility to a single, larger simulator.
