What is Magistracy Monthly?

A Thread

This is intended to help new and old readers alike learn about Magistracy Monthly, what it is, how it came to be, how you can submit content, and much more.

Magistracy Monthly was chosen as the name for two reasons.

For the longest time, I stopped caring about this game. It was just too big of a gap between 5 and 6. Little leaks here, teaser trailers there.

Now that it's finally almost here however... I have to admit. I'm getting excited again.

@Ganglosaxonnne I thought he was just mad because he ordered a cheeseburger with no pickles but they put extra pickles on it.

BattleMechs Through the Years #39: The LGB-0C Longbow

Amazed by the potential of the Terran Hegemony's Archer, engineers in the Free Worlds League decided to build their own fire support BattleMech to add to their blossoming forces. The result was the LGB-0C Longbow, an 85 ton assault-class missile boat.

House Marik hadn't gotten their hands on the Terran Hegemony's updated technology yet and so the original Longbow used primitive parts, including thirteen and a half tons of armor plating. It also suffered from a number of setbacks due to these outdated parts, including weak leg actuators and a cramped cockpit.

For a primitive design, the Longbow was effective at its role. Two LRM-20 launchers were fed by six tons of ammunition, allowing it to overwhelm most units from afar very quickly. Two medium lasers and a small laser were included to give the 'Mech an option to protect itself in the event that other units closed in.

Despite being designed by Marik engineers, StarCorps Industries decided to sell the Longbow to all buyers and over the next few decades, the Free Worlds League, Lyran Commonwealth, Capellan Confederation and Terran Hegemony were all using the design.

Though heavily used from its inception, by the start of the Star League era it had already been phased out for more modern designs, though the Longbow itself would not receive an upgrade for almost fifty years.

I finally made my first Corvette in #NoMansSky. A little blocky as expected but overall I don't think I did too bad. Now I just need to slot in some upgrades, work on the interior and upgrade the class and I should be all set.

@TheMechFrog Right in the green, where a frog should be.

"Everyone on my floor is coding" is a very different statement depending on if you're a software engineer or a doctor.

I had a bunch I found from industrial scrap on worlds. Some of the modules I had to buy with the proceeds from selling a couple sentinel ship repeats I found.

Although if you want to build one, you can always swap to creative mode just long enough to do so - it gives you all the parts for free. Then you can swap back to whatever mode you prefer when you're done building.

@JohnWolf117 The new NMS? You mean Light No Fire?

[Riley Centrella @MagestrixRiley]

@ByteRider_9 I know. But the thing the weird creature is riding on is pretty cute. 🤣

@Lutra_Gaming *Looks up from newspaper, sitting in the Rimward Periphery hundreds of light-years from any clanner in 3050.*

Who did what with the who now? Mysterious invaders from deep space? Pffft sounds fake. Now if you'll excuse me I need to head back to the pantsleas casino.

@RayReynoldsNMS Same.

All I want for Christmas is a Subaru CrossTrek. Kthx.

[Riley Centrella @MagestrixRiley]

@Tronchaser1972 Yep. It's in the options menu.

So travellers, what's the hottest planet you've found? Mine was this one. A nice, breezy 613.2 degrees!

@Ganglosaxonnne Okay but what if you try to break into the house with the tractors and army men but they have to battle with Transformers and stuffed animals?!

[Riley Centrella @MagestrixRiley]

@Lutra_Gaming Well everyone knows my Periphery choice. I was saying if I had to pick a Great House. 😋
