Ive used 1.0 for many years and have become accustomed to the workflow. I tried using the Canva version and found a couple things:

The toolbar is always grayscale with no color option? I think the icons look too similar to get used to where everything is.

Some things were just NOT working. My normal workflow would be: select layer. Select clone brush. Define origin, start cloning.

Multiple times I couldnt figure out in the Canva version why it wouldnt do normal tasks like Clone brush. Checked layer type, checked layer was indeed selected - nothing. Ended up re-downloading 1.0 on the new PC and continue using that instead.

Any ideas for these things I came across? Im not sure if it is a technical issue but I couldnt find answers to these.

A few months ago we asked Stiles to help us figure out our old/obsolete material with the data from their Intellistore log. They were able to tell us what percentage of our board stock was older than 1 year but no specific details with their existing info.

I built a system using batch script / python / javascript that updates a Google sheet once per hour and tells us low stock / current allocations / most recent date for each board in stock. It can also email someone when stock gets below a certain amount.

The best part of Google Sheets is everyone can open it read-only at the same time to forecast purchasing and production needs. Blanked out material details for privacy but this is a fully automated system with no upkeep - just open it and use normal excel searching/filtering to gather info or download a copy and do further studies. Many more features than TLF Reporting tool and even walking to the Intellistore interface doesn't give you this much info.

Yeah, ok. Even on easy, the NPC pilots all of a sudden know what they are doing and zipping sideways in Kestrels and knocking my shields down within 20 seconds of engagement. Im not complaining about having to get better at the game but it's almost like high rez npcs are at level 3 skill and operations npcs are at an 8. No in between even on easy mode ?

You can spend hours in High Rez basically until you run out of ammo but approach an operations station and your skills are at noob level compared to the npcs.

As a side note - I pulled one NPC Python2 15-20km away from the station and he just... gave up shooting me? He stayed red but stopped flying and shooting and floated. I turned around and shot him about 10-20 times as well as crashing into him. He finally woke up and returned fire. Could be a bug.

Could be a way to solo an entire hard mission with spending time doing this to aggro one ship at a time and engage 1v1 instead of a swarm.

I ended up too close to a neutron star in my Caspian. It seemed like it would take forever to get far away enough to turn on my Friendship drive and get away. Every time I tried, I started overheating and I had to cancel.

So I deployed my Nomad which can fly about twice as fast. I dismissed my Caspian and it disappeared. I boosted a bunch away from the Neutron Star in the Nomad and then recalled the Caspian when I was away far enough. No more overheating, went right into supercruise no problem.

Edit: Does that mean you can jump into your Nomad and dismiss your ship while under attack? Almost like an escape pod that can fly faster to get away?

So you buy the box set but have to either look up or print out an episode list. Super annoying!
