I've been playing Elite: Dangerous for years now and ignoring everything else, it's been great.
Yeah, the gameplay consists of long stretches of boredom punctuated by moments of terror, but you get to be bored in SPACE!!! (seriously, it's the best thing going in VR, not that that's saying a lot at this point).

2018 was the darkest year so far, but the same was true for 2017 and 2016. First, selling games piecewise als DLC instead of a complete game and one or two complete addons. Then "micro"-transactions (seriously, 17 bucks isn't "micro" by any standard). The loot boxes and general P2W elements may be the the worst the gaming industry has on offer yet, but the emphasis is on "yet". Wait what 2019 will bring.

I just found out that the AF is moving to Qlikview for use as their training system analysis tool. It's looking like the software I'm working on right now is going to be migrated to Qlikview...
Here's a funny coincidence - The words "Camaro" and "Qlikview" both show up as misspelled words in web browsers and MS word. That's appropriate....

And AF stands for April Fool ?

Unfortunately not...

It's because they heard you had experience with Qlikview.

I had a co-worker who wrote the module to connect Qlikview and our system...

first time I read it I saw Quickview (small acct system) 2 thoughts came to mind: "Huh?" and "Well that's brave."
Then I re-read and saw Qlikview (what a terrible name, Kwi-lick???), reduced it to 1 thought: "That's really brave."

I was a programmer for the USAF and stationed in Germany. I never heard that one but there was a street near one of the neighboring Army bases nicknamed 40 Marks Strasse because that was what the ladies charged.

Could be true for germany - Should've specified that I'm talking about the SAF[^]. I'm still serving as a captain-ranked specialist officer (OF-2) within command support, so there's a bit of self-mockery involved in what I said.

Does it have an API? I'd like to mount it to my roof, get a raspberry pi, and let my new AI code have fun.

I doubt it.
OTOH, that looks like a nice weekend project. You'd need a para-axial camera (for taking shots of your kills), and some good high-torque stepping motors (for the slewing), but it's nothing that a serious hobbyist couldn't handle.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
