It is kind of vague. They have some aspects that are more police force oriented, but they also have significant numbers and sphere of influence.

Ultimately their ORIGINAL purpose is irrelevant. These were reploids who had the current purpose of defending humanity and fighting back. Call it a job if you like, but that’s still their current purpose...to fulfil the requirements of their job, whatever that may be.

Except, as Raging Hadron below states, the mavericks in X1 and most of them throughout the series actually, have military backgrounds. They were not using those abilities to operate a power plant or to maintain a furnace. They were using those abilities as soldiers.

Storm Eagle was a part of the Maverick Hunter’s 7th Air Cavalry unit.

Agreed. I don’t want to detract from the artist’s skills. I just want to state that I don’t necessarily agree with his vision. From a technical standpoint, they’re all great...just not to my taste.

X is the only one that works for me (Zero excluded of course). They all just look too slender and fragile. These are battling robots...they need some heft to them.

Volume vs Area is irrelevant to OPs math. He’s treating two distances as a single area without doing the required math to calculate the true area. He is also simply converting distance in km to miles, again without considering that the values are squared.

Agreed. I know people will complain since it’s a shared universe, but I really wish there was a difficulty slider or resource balance slider so that systems generated for YOU are generated in a manner you would prefer (i.e. not giants atoms with a plutonium nucleus and thamium electrons). Yes, that will affect others…

I feel a number of things I personally dislike about the game (resources literally sticking out of the ground, static star systems, asteroids freakin’ everywhere) were concessions made to appeal to a wider audience. I mean, they specifically mention planetary rotation in the day 1 patch notes:

Oh, agreed. It’s not even close in terms of the actual comparison, but it’s still much closer than the OP figured on his own.

Already there. Bought a Moto Z a few weeks ago and it’s not been an issue for me. I primarily listen to music in the car which does not have Bluetooth, so I was using the 3.5mm jack for that. Thing is, I already had a Bluetooth receiving in the center console for when I had a car dock on the windshield (thing wore out…

Yeah, but 1 square meter is still a meter long (assuming an actual square shape of course). That’s not the case for say 4 square meters or 9 square meters or 60 million square meters...again, assuming that the area is truly square. You could have 60 million square meters arranged in a straight line and it would be 60…

Is reading comprehension that bad these days?

...60 million meters BY 60 million meters...not 60 million meters squared. It’s actually 3.6 quadrillion meters or 3.6 billion square kilometers.

Wait...what? Could you show your work, please?

To be fair, it’s not always about cost. Sometimes you just can’t get the service based on your location.

You could even come up with some lore about weakened barriers between dimensions or something to give it a sci-fi explanation.

Glad I could help. The situation is obviously difficult to get all the info since the DMCA. Have to be careful not to cause too much noise.

No, it was incorrect in the article initially, so it’s not your fault. Just wanted to spread the correct information until the article was corrected.

It was not a C&D. Development continues, though hosting the file is currently a problem, so distribution of updates will be handled differently in the future.
