I wonder how British scientists in the European Space Agency will be affected. Also British astronauts.

Well... I may have deleted the local storage data for the site to see if that fixes it and I may have now rendered myself unable to actually log in from my phone. Huh.

I've thought about becoming a teacher before. Either for science or computing. It seems like it would be pretty cool until I remember all the marking you have to do.

I'd say my opinion but I'd just be repeating what Flee said but nowhere near as concise.

So I'll just say OP and this thread in general is retarded.

For reals though, the fact this was made by a team of 11 developers is nothing short of amazing. Props to HG for that.

So.... I'm looking at universities for 2017 entry, and they have a certain fee listed on their websites. (Can't remember what it was). Because people will be applying to these come September, is it likely these prices will change?

Why go all the way to Britain when What's-Her-Name in Germany wants them to flood in by the millions?

Well unfortunately leaving the EU won't change that. Because they'll keep flooding in. Illegally, now.

We have a national health service. They come over, have a kid (who is technically british) then use that as a reason to move the entire extended family over.

As a follow on to the OP, private company Deep Space Industries has announced they intend to make the first commerical landing on an asteroid sometime this decade. They arecompany that is interested in asteroid mining.

Deep Space Industries announced today its plans to fly the world’s first commercial interplanetary mining mission. Prospector-1™ will fly to and rendezvous with a near-Earth asteroid, and investigate the object to determine its value as a source of space resources. This mission is an important step in the company’s overall plans to harvest and supply in-space resources to support the growing space economy.
“Deep Space Industries has worked diligently to get to this point, and now we can say with confidence that we have the right technology, the right team and the right plan to execute this historic mission,” said Rick Tumlinson, chairman of the board and co-founder of Deep Space Industries. “Building on our Prospector-X mission, Prospector-1 will be the next step on our way to harvesting asteroid resources.”
Recently, Deep Space Industries and its partner, the government of Luxembourg, announced plans to build and fly Prospector-X™, an experimental mission to low-Earth orbit that will test key technologies needed for low-cost exploration spacecraft. This precursor mission is scheduled to launch in 2017. Then, before the end of this decade, Prospector-1 will travel beyond Earth’s orbit to begin the first space mining exploration mission.

“DSI’s Prospector missions will usher in a new era of low cost space exploration” said Grant Bonin, chief engineer at Deep Space Industries. “DSI is developing Prospector-1 both for its own asteroid mining ambitions, as well as to bring an extremely low-cost, yet high-performance exploration capability to the market. We hope to enable both existing and new public and private organizations to explore the inner solar system using this affordable platform.”
Prospector-1 is a small spacecraft (50 kg when fueled) that strikes the ideal balance between cost and performance. In addition to the radiation-tolerant payloads and avionics, all DSI spacecraft use the Comet™ water propulsion system, which expels superheated water vapor to generate thrust. Water will be the first asteroid mining product, so the ability to use water as propellant will provide future DSI spacecraft with the ability to refuel in space.
“During the next decade, we will begin the harvest of space resources from asteroids,” said Daniel Faber, CEO at Deep Space Industries. “We are changing the paradigm of business operations in space, from one where our customers carry everything with them, to one in which the supplies they need are waiting for them when they get there.”
The destination asteroid will be chosen from a group of top candidates selected by the world renowned team of asteroid experts at Deep Space Industries. When it arrives at the target, the Prospector-1 spacecraft will map the surface and subsurface of the asteroid, taking visual and infrared imagery and mapping overall water content, down to approximately meter-level depth. When this initial science campaign is complete, Prospector-1 will use its water thrusters to attempt touchdown on the asteroid, measuring the target’s geophysical and geotechnical characteristics.
“The ability to locate, travel to, and analyze potentially rich supplies of space resources is critical to our plans,” continued Faber. “This means not just looking at the target, but actually making contact.”
Along with customer missions already in progress, such as the cluster of small satellites being built by DSI for HawkEye 360, the Prospector missions will demonstrate the company’s simple, low-cost, but high-performance approach to space exploration. The Prospector platform will soon be available to government and commercial explorers interested in developing sophisticated, yet low-cost missions of their own.
“Prospector-1 is not only the first commercial interplanetary mission, it is also an important milestone in our quest to open the frontier,” said Tumlinson. “By learning to ‘live off the land’ in space, Deep Space Industries is ushering in a new era of unlimited economic expansion.”
More detailed information about the Prospector program, including the Prospector-X (eXperimental) and Prospector-1 missions, and the DSI technologies that are making these missions possible, can be found on the company’s website:

TL:DR, the probe is intended to survey an asteroid for stuff to mine. Most likely water ice.

So what I gathered by skimming the OP is that people whose smaller communities are directly effected by mass immigration tend to not like their hometown changing while those unaffected or in major metropolitan areas call them racists and tell them to get over it, and they both vote on reforms according to these beliefs.

Basically.

Up north (where a lot of people voted leave) there's loads of small towns that have been essentially taken over by immigrants and gradually the towns have turned shit with businesses closing down and the areas turning rough. Regardless if that's the actual cause it is percieved as being the root proboem and many people don't like it.

It's if you want the collector's content but are getting a digital copy or something.

There's a version that does come with the game.

Playing through Alien Isolation, I can't help but be amazed at the stuff the developers did with the graphics. I mean, I absolutely adore the aesthetic of Alien and the Sevastopol Station, as imagined in-game, is beautiful.



This screenshot doesn't do it justice but, in-game, with the shadows stretching on the walls and floor and the light flickering with the fire and electricity arcing, it is really amazing.
