    Did anyone watch Formula E today? If you didn't type Prost crash Formula E. Absolutely disgusting from Prost junior, so easily could've killed Nick Heidfeld!

    What's that got to do with anything bud? I don't post in other parts of the forum as it's full of crying kids. I only asked if anyone watched it, and this is the stuff thread so we can talk about anything. ;)
    Yeah but if there is a thread for the topic you want to talk about you will post it there ;)
    Next thing you know is that the Singapore race thread will be created here ;) haha

    We were told though that it's a massive game by Bungie but it's clearly not. They must've cut content to sell later imo. It's still a great game but for instance, two planets were included in the trailers that aren't even in the game. I can only think they were cut, so people could buy them later.

    How do you do Raid missions? As I can't see them anywhere.
    Gets unlocked at 25 and it comes out next week.

    Uh is that it? They've been making this game for years  and if it's that small it's disappointing. They did sell their souls to  Activision so there's probably going to be millions of paid dlc. How do you even get past level 20 if there's only 4 planets? I thought this was meant to be a huge game :( 

    The people saying Destiny is a small game were right then, even though Bungie said it's a massive game...
    I think a lot of content was cut to be released as dlc, as there's no way it could've taken 5+ years to make such a small game.
    To get past lvl 20 most people do crucible and strikes all day.

    Sure bud :) The one on Earth would be good for me, haven't tried a Strike or even the Crucible yet :p And I'm level 10 now ;) Really don't get how some people have enough time to be over level 20's already!
    They probably don't go to work or sleep lol I'm level 12 I think at the moment. Strike missions are fun although I've only done one.
    @couger1981 I've already unlocked Venus, it's a lovely looking place. Do you know how many planets there are at the moment?
    I heard people say four planets.

    Just did my first Strike mission where you team up with two other people and it was great fun! We all worked together and had each other's backs without using mics. This game just gets better and better. I think there were two big bosses that took a while to kill, but it was so fun. I much prefer online gaming like this where you work together to kill ai. Would love to do a strike mission with you at some point @RevolvingPrawn‌ 
    How many assisted kills did you have, i did a strike mission about two days ago and had about 43 just shows that team mates steal your kills.
    I had 64 kills and 12 assisted  :p We all had similar amount of kills, maybe I just got a good group.
    @sjsharp2010 In some ways it feels like Mass Effect but is a lot less story driven. Visiting the different planets is great fun, I'll be heading to Venus next :)

    Alot of people say play strike missions with people from your friends list, so i guess thats why.

  6. I echo the thoughts of GoldenClot and AMS. I think this is going to end up in a similar way the banning of team orders did, with teams giving their drivers secret codes, or differently worded messages, and in the end the rule will end up being over turned.

    With the new generation of cars being so complex with all the various systems running on it, such as brake by wire, fuel management, ERS, MGU-K, MGU-H, etc, as well as tyre wear, burnouts to the grid, gearboxes, brakes, etc, I feel the engineer's advice and comments are essential to the cars running smoothly.

    Lets take the scenario Mercedes saw in Canada. Both cars suddenly lost power and in the end I think the team ended up knowing it would effect braking, which ultimately led to Hamilton's retirement. Before the ban the radio would have been something like this, I guess:

    LH: 'The car's lost power, do you know what's wrong?'
    Enginner: 'Yeah Lewis, there's a problem with 'x' and that means it will probably effect your braking so change the brake bias to the rear to help conserve that and change the fuel setting to yellow G2.'

    Now what would the conversation be like?

    LH: 'The car's lost power, do you know what's up?'
    Enginner: 'Yeah Lewis, but we can't tell you as it'll break the rules.'

    That will be stupid, and obviously the team want to get the car to run as best as possible, so they will want to somehow get a message across to him telling him to change the brake bias and fuel setting.

    I am sure this rule will be overturned. Seems stupid.
    It will make the drivers rely on there instinct and get a feel of the car to know whats wrong just like the drivers from the 70s - 90s did.
    But we will see if FOM keeps this rule after the next race.

    Edit: Also Code words will be banned aswell For example: "Hammer time" or "Mix 5". And the team are not allowed to give their drivers information regarding other drivers with the exception about drivers who they are coming up behind to lap.
    Would think Hamilton would know when Hammer time would be anyway he wouldn't need his crew to tell him that. as they usually employ it for the last couple of laps of each stint.  So he'll know his pit stop times he'll just make the charge for the last couple of laps before coming in. As for the other stuff I get the feeling the rule won't last long.
    That was the excitement about F1 in the 80s and 90s not much radio communications and we had more retirements, nowadays there are lot of dull races with the engineers telling the drivers that the car is about to brake down and telling them what to press on the steering wheel to continue racing.

  9. I've been trying to figure out how to turn the fan on, the one on top of the postmasters office yea? :p And I got 1 dead Ghost at the tower, is there more?

    @KRTheIceman Rumours I've been hearing is the PC version will come in about 7 months.
    Ive found two dead ghosts at the tower so far and the fan is on the walkway above the soccer ball, now that i think about it the fan switch on the walkway may turn on the fan on the building?

    Formula One considering banning team radio during races in 2015

    It will certainly make drivers learn about their cars without the assistance from their engineers.

    F1 times
    Now to wait for tons of code words. Or possible loophole?

    Team talking to Rosberg: "Nico, Hamilton's tires look good, his engine is at optimal performance." The intention is to talk about HAM's car, to Nico, but the tire and car performance is actually related to Nico's tires and car perf.

    Or is ALL communication to BOTH drivers, regardless of whom they are talking about, banned?
    Only messages that talk about the car is banned according to the article.
