But the previous flight model seemed to work fine?
What were the issues you noticed with it?

Well, they’ve continued to churn out features and develop the game, so people keep supporting them.

There are definitely ups and downs, but overall they’ve made a lot of progress in the past few years.

A small group of players have been able to use jump gates to jump over to the Pyro system and back. That’s supposed to be released to everyone by the end of the year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was just a PTU release, with it finally going live a few months later.

Yeah, the way I’m thinking about it is like RabbitMQ, but customized to work with their server meshing and the replication layer.

And at this point, from any newcomers/outsiders looking in, I think there’s a relevant xkcd for Average Familiarity with this subject.

No problem it’s a very new term, they’ve only mentioned it in a few places. I just dug up a previous comment that I had posted about this a month ago:

For those wondering what RMQ (Replication Message Queue) is. They explained a bit more in a previous motd update:

This RMQ Test from the core tech group will replace the current NMQ system in preparation for Server Meshing and will be much more robust against networking bottlenecks. This test will not be with meshing enabled but will focus on single shards.

The last test with it was pretty brutal (lots of crashing, imagine groundhog day where you only get a few minutes before you wake up again) so it looks like they’re trying to iron those out before switching on server meshing with it. Hopefully we’ll see much smoother gameplay with this enabled once they work out those issues.

“Stealth” is a useful tool for visiting Reddit. It’s available on F-Droid. https://gitlab.com/cosmosapps/stealth

Otherwise using old.reddit with a browser has been a decent fallback.

Here’s a rough translation to english using Whisper. I’m assuming “rock-climbers” should be “excavators”:

[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000] Here they are, fortifications are being built all over the Kursk region.
[00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.000] The rock-climbers are working.
[00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.000] A huge, endless line of anti-tank weapons.
[00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000] There, further, is the Ukrainian.
[00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.000] Well, more precisely, the enemy.
[00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.000] Because not only the Ukrainian.
[00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.000] Here.

I ran the audio through Whisper to translate it. I’d appreciate if someone who understands better could double check it, or explain the reference/saying about hares if they know:

[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000] Who says that you can’t go abroad?
[00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.000] Guys, everyone is going to the army, they are letting us go abroad.
[00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.000] Two hares would have gone, but they didn’t.
[00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.000] But everything is fine.
[00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.000] Here it is, here it is.
[00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.000] Not at the border, but in the sky.
[00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.000] That’s it, guys, you are abroad.
[00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.000] No shit.
[00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.000] So if you want, go ahead.
[00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.000] - We don’t ask for anything. - We don’t ask for anything.
[00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.000] All the guys are happy.

Instead of using Imgur, I’ve been uploading images to posts on Lemmy and then linking to those on Reddit with my comment.

Haven’t had any issues doing that.
The downside to this is, if the instance shuts down, those images won’t be available.
