The only real issue I have with using Discord text chat over the forum is that we don't own the platform, and are at the mercy of Discord. While we can't guarantee the Deadmen Forum ( as was shwon when the old forum got so outdated it stopped working) we do own the software (as in it's free and open source) and it sits on our own hardware. Discord can change things, close things and hide stuff behind paywalls and there's nothing we can do about it.

We're not paying anything for a fairly comprehensive set of chat and text channels. Discord need to make money somehow, so as long as someone else is buying thier crap we don't have to.

Discord suits us fine right now and it's great the whole thing is free, but I wonder how long it's c going to stay that way?

In response to some chats on Discord here's some more info. All of this can be found on the Web but I've condensed it down for easy reference.

Using codes in Starfield is trivially easy. It's worth considering the following.

Using codes breaks Xbox achievements, something I really couldn't care less about.

The game has fixed levels for specific star systems so you will be OP early in the game and some missions will be trivialised.

You can play with ship building and then start a game without codes and play normally

To access the console type @

In order to be able to play freely with the ship builder you need money 

player.additem f 500000 or however much you want

You need level four piloting 

player.addperk 002CFCAC add this four times, once for each level

You need Ship Design level four 

player.addperk 002C59DC  add this four times, once for each level

and you need to be high level to access the Type C components, specifically engines, reactors and grav drives to be able to push you behemoth ship about.

player.setlevel 80  add this four times, once for each level 

To enter free fly mode so you can get better photo angles than you can in 'Photo mode' (can be a bit buggy)

To turn off the hud for cleaner images

The web is full of sites that show every console command, just Google it

I'm not sure if this is the exact model but I have something almost the same as this.

It worked well for me. A little firmer than gel and has a material finish rather than plastic. For seven quid I thought it was worth a punt and did the job.

I didn't join the Discord Channel, so I think i missed out. But as Whitey says some addictions cannot be resisted!

For £20 it is well worth it.

WHAT! I only paid £19.97! You were mugged mate. Still it's worth twenty quid easily.

Ready for more shennanigans whenever

I have 147 pages of PM's stored and it did take about ten seconds for them to appear the first time.

The changes to content etc are being worked onby others now the new forum is up and running.

Hopefully once you have reset your password you'll be able to see into the forums and post.

A few

 "yes it's working ok"

posts here will let us know the cogs are going around more or less as intended. If not we have a bit more tweaking with the email confirmations to get sorted.

Cheers

Fixed it

Happy Birthday Have a great Day

I killed them.

You may be screaming on the outside, but on the inside I know you are laughing...... eh.

When is the next LAN?

What steak did I order?

They're certainly worth money. Personally I'd watch everyone of them again.

Ursula got shot of a load of CD's and some DVD's from https://www.musicmagpie.co.uk/entertainment/sell-dvds/

She didn't get much from each one but all together it paid for a slap up dinner for two. Entering each one took some time, but they have an app which reads the bar code straight off the box, so it's not as painful as it could be.

Failing that bring them to the LAN and I'll give them all to Ursula, she volunteers at Oxfam and would take the lot off your hands for £0.00 :wink:

I'm in for this Friday. Happy to play anything,
