any sciencey people know why the ice is so clear? My catering experience says boil water before you freeze it to remove dissolved air, but it doesn't seem likely this lake has been boiled...

This is a normal post Went to the ice hotel in Norway
On the tour they told us that they can only use ice from the local river because flowing water freezes super clear. I admit I can't remember quite why this is, but I reckon the above video is a frozen river. SCIENCE AND SORT OF LOGICAL DEDUCTION.

Think its something to do with the speed it freezes? Lack of tiny air bubbles is why its so clear though...?
(, Thu 11 Dec 2014, 16:08, Reply)
This is a normal post SCIENCES!
Ice cubes have bubbles in because the outside freezes first and traps liquid inside. When the liquid freezes it releases the absorbed air and, since the air has nowhere to go, it creates bubbles.
Ice makers that make clear ice cubes have super cooled rods and flowing water runs over them. The ice is built up in small enough layers for the unfrozen water to carry away the bubbles of air that are released.
This probably froze over time where water hit rocks that were less than 0C, and the ice permeated out from the edge. In the middle, it is probably less clear.

This is a normal post It's more that a community has been built up around E:D, game development carefully nurtured with feedback and suggestions from early adopters.
That community has invested a lot of time and money in helping bring this game to release.

It's a beautiful game, with moments of serenity as well as nail biting action.
Full of beautiful imagery with no need for pre-rendered animations. A game to be playing with patience, careful building and development.
Trading, exploration, as well as combat.

A whole universe to explore ticking away like clockwork.

And this trailer comes in like a brash adolescent shouting and screaming, giving completely the wrong impression about what E:D is like to play. It's specifically designed to appeal to twitch gamers which this is completely the wrong sort of game for and those people will just spoil it for others.

And worse still if those players become the majority voice then the development team might start taking direction from them instead of sensible people with a proper HOTAS, gaming chair and advanced display unit of choice.

[edit]

Frontier have refused at all stages to allow a 3rd person camera, it's a design decision that I think works to keep immersion. In game music is subtle and never overpowers the in game environmental sounds.
So when they release a trailer all in the 3rd person and overlay it heavily with generic rock in kind of jars.
(, Thu 11 Dec 2014, 8:37, Reply)
This is a normal post it brings in new customers which means continued funding for the company
they'll either like the actual style of gameplay and stick around or not and leave. I can't see how it would force Frontier to overlay a rock soundtrack to the game or whatever else you are scared of ;)

But most importantly, for the short term at least you have some easy pickings in noob space explorers no doubt laden with precious metals and no fight skills
