have you met glamor-rotanev yet

Like apart from the combat exp and loot from combat
unique drops, shrouded weapons

you'll get her contact details when you fly around tritach markets
twin bear
Might be the ai controlled ship
neon bramble
if you didn't press it out of elek
twin bear
you'll get her contact details when you fly around tritach markets
Where is the VIP I gotta meet
In tritach
twin bear
All I got was her name
And I should see them
That's it lol
It was a comms request while at tri markets
twin bear
They might have but there was so much to read I prolly forgot
Played it late last night while tired
neon bramble
I can see how you break games
twin bear
I can see how you break games
Literally all I did was explore rly far out early on
Is that so bad lmao
twin bear
At least for my next playthrough I understand enough to start designing a good fleet
Took a min to understand how building ships works
But ngl it got so much easier when I just sim'd each build a few times and learned their weaknesses and shit
neon bramble
its straightforward once you process what the stat sheets are telling you
and actually spend time in the simulator
neon bramble
win flux war > deal permanent damage
have the movement to gtfo / armor to outlast bad situations
maybe missiles to speed up engagements
neon bramble
<@&671452400221159444>

twin bear
No them
neon bramble
isnt that how we get the mshot
twin bear
isnt that how we get the mshot
I wanna know how the fuck the link worked
dapper dagger
Thanks
neon bramble
it was a button
twin bear
Like DMG types allat
Well fuck
Prolly some ugly ass alien faction
Or demons from hell
IDK why but space games keep making me fight demons
Cosmic ahh
Also next run I'll play on normal
I was rec to play on easy so I could learn how the game plays without being rage baited
twin bear
So any ships that barely survive I know won't on normal
neon bramble
oh no that's actually quite huge
if it's a -25% global damage modifier
your shields are just 25% better if it is
twin bear
I think it's just DMG to ships but I didn't rly look at what it does
Shields seem to be kind of meh sometimes
Armor rly does wonders
That and emp DMG reduction
neon bramble
you see that's because it's 25% reduction across the board
twin bear
Once I put on emp res the ships survival went up a ton
neon bramble
yeah, normally it's about only a -10% from elite system mastery
twin bear
And why threat no armor
twin bear
no the AI ships are horrible
Lions guard capitals flying into my onslaught duo to be deleted in seconds
twin bear
Maybe my ships got too much anti armor then
neon bramble
needs a bit of finesse
twin bear
They delete anything but the ship spamming threats
neon bramble
two large energies on a fairly tight flux budget
vital marten
You can never have enough holes in armor 
twin bear
Storm needler
Is a bit overkill
🥀 I tried two on the dominator for fun and
Well
Never again
neon bramble
torpedo spam alone through thick flak is not ideal
twin bear
I stopped using reapers so much
neon bramble
you need some energy or HE guns
neon bramble
they dont cost you flux
twin bear
you need some energy or HE guns
Btw the carrier u rec is rly good
neon bramble
and can be spammed
twin bear
It can fight by itself
neon bramble
which one
twin bear
Which is crazy
neon bramble
legion?
twin bear
I forgot the name the high tech one
neon bramble
oh nah that's only because you have easy I think
astral is somewhat fragile normally
twin bear
Why is it designed to strike and retreat if easy is the only way to do it lol
neon bramble
since you can't have a monstrous 50~ shield damage reduction before shield efficiency
twin bear
I feel like some ships are just not usable on normal
neon bramble
low tech kinda suffers in normal
neon bramble
w/ shield spec, elite systems mastery and easy mode that's a flat 50% reduction to shield damage before the 35% reduction from shield efficiency
twin bear
I will actually make better min maxed fleets on that model I feel
neon bramble
if we remove shield spec or elite sys spec that's only a mere 15 or 10% reduction to the 50%
twin bear
Some ships I know would just do good on normal considering they do too much dmg and run away before they get hit (looking at u omen swarm I made and forgot to save so now I have to rebuy them all again
The urge to watch build videos
And become the king of meta gaming
Well if I wanted to meta game
I'd buy two paragons
And spam furies and eagles
uncut epoch
twin bear
I like not knowing what the best stuff is
twin bear
My fleet isn't even that good on easy but with how I command and fly
They do well enough to officially be stronger than any human fleets
neon bramble
do it on normal
it's one hell of a rush lmao
wants strong PD so you don't get obliterated by torpedo volleys
twin bear
I might try high tech carrier spam before I make another save
Def gonna beat the story on this save first tho
twin bear
wants strong PD so you don't get obliterated by torpedo volleys
Vulcan cannons seem pretty good in groups
Ngl I hate pd lasers
They rly only seem to be good at pestering fighters and bombers
Making them stay back to keep alive
neon bramble
PD laser want to be used en masse
there's the burst PD but has the issue of limited magazines
however strongest PD so long as it has time to store charges
neon bramble
LRPD on something like the eagle is pretty funny once you have enough of it
twin bear
Then the tac lasers Destabilize the shields if they have them up
twin bear
LRPD on something like the eagle is pretty funny once you have enough of it
I have like
neon bramble
you're thinking of the graviton beams
neon bramble
taclasers are equivalent to a laser pointer
twin bear
taclasers are equivalent to a laser pointer
Why they do so much dmg to hull tho
neon bramble
havent had much luck with the funny nanite swarm stuff
twin bear
havent had much luck with the funny nanite swarm stuff
I am gonna put it on my onslaught duo
Hopefully
Saving some smod space for them
Also the 600k to fix the unique onslaught was totally worth it
Bro gets reduction to maint or wtv but doesn't have dmods
neon bramble
anything with decent residual armor is going to laugh at your taclaser
neon bramble
threat
neon bramble
think the remnants have decent armor
twin bear
Esp if threat was killed on first try with no commands or reinforcement used
neon bramble
I dont think the 25% damage reduction should apply to shields
twin bear
😭 I was so scared of them until I got the onslaughts for just outright rushing their main ships
twin bear
5 ordos in normal then lmao
I wouldn't even be able to collect all the loot from that
They drop so fucking much
neon bramble
wdym
twin bear
I am collecting for colony
For trade and markets
So my colonies can get rich off of the nearby mines in the next system
Alrdy scoped out a terra world
Low grav tho
neon bramble
oh nah dont bother bringing scrap yourself
neon bramble
yeah just keep up the hazard pay and you should be fine
twin bear
I need a few more million

What fun quests lines can a luddic path hating fleet commander do in the pers sector
neon bramble

the sindrian one is really funny too
mentally bullying the shrewdest man in the sector

mentally bullying the shrewdest man in the sector
Why do I hate them so much
And why is heg so based sometimes
neon bramble
who the ludds?
twin bear
Sindirans try not to purge the population because of a minor indiscretion
But I can't say bomb pirates
neon bramble
And why is heg so based sometimes
you're going to love meeting ||daud|| in the main quest then
twin bear
Smh
twin bear
I wanna rizz up the high commander
She's a contact and always knows what to say "kill this guy for monies"
What a woman
When will someone add a mod that lets u marry and form a kingdom
That would be fun
twin bear
I tried to change some dialogue to silly stuff for fun
Gave up after looking at dialogue trees
neon bramble
john starsector rizzing up the leaders
twin bear
john starsector rizzing up the leaders
Whats the deal with the path cells
And why are they always being shot down by local security
Supporting them is how I made so much bread
Even tho the path HATES me
neon bramble
the path hates all high tech
and you're running around with an exotic AI core battleship
which is from their perspective robotic satan
you are p much the antichrist from their perspective
twin bear
you are p much the antichrist from their perspective
Maybe I am considering I kill them purely for making me pay a tithe
40k is too much when I have a few million
neon bramble
should be the other way around tbh
pirates trying to fleece you while the path just wants you dead
twin bear
Pirates funny
Now even the ones who are supposed to jump me
Run once I come into range
neon bramble
mods will fix that
twin bear
Laying in wait my ass u just gonna run with ur tail between yo legs
neon bramble
more pirate and pirate adjacent factions
turning tankers into IEDs for the path
boss factions for days
twin bear
I want to add some faction mods later
Too many anime ones (not that I don't like it I just love the games og art style
twin bear
I also have don't like having all women who look in their early ass 20s with big boobs in my fleet
Esp when some lore wise are supposed to be rad riddled and half dead
twin bear
Might use this
Anything to make factions behave lore accurate
Is the nex mod good
Let's u have custom starts I hear
neon bramble
it's what people consider the bare minimum
also allows worlds to change hands
I recommend enabling prism freeport
neutral station that sells everyone's best stuff at a crazy markup
stable lintel
eh i honestly couldn't get into nex personally
twin bear
neutral station that sells everyone's best stuff at a crazy markup
Doesn't free port
Lower stability
Also why does heg let me fly an ai ship
In their space
They also seem to not care if I have my transponder off? Of that because of my max rep or
Is it because I just haven't been scanned
neon bramble
plothole kinda I think but the oldslaught is a domain ship
and heg claims to be a successor to the domain of man
twin bear
Is the lore basically ai backfires
And we lose our halo fast travel
So over time ppl desperately form colonies to survive
And factions form
stable lintel
we don't actually know why the gates shut down exactly
neon bramble
AI's involvement in the collapse is unknown I think
stable lintel
yeah
twin bear
I think they just hate my little ai buddies
neon bramble
specifically AI wars happened post collapse with tritach and heg mostly
hidden spruce
Zomboid Burgler start :
stable lintel
AI was a massively restricted thing even before the gates collapsed
twin bear
Zomboid Burgler start :
Portland ID ahh
hidden spruce
twin bear
Wasn't AI mostly used in collecting data over long distances
stable lintel
and since the hegemony declares itself as the remaining successor to the domain they also try to upkeep that same policy
twin bear
Heg seems to have some weird ass mercy for pirates
Why they get mad
If I sat bomb the pirates tying to blow up jangala
stable lintel
"why is the world mad because i nuked a country?"
twin bear
😔 I just want to kill everyone sometimes bro
neon bramble
well how would you feel if one of your patrols started dropping unstable fuel on random worlds
twin bear
"why is the world mad because i nuked a country?"
Pirates
quasi slate
twin bear
Keyword pirates fr
quasi slate
antimatter transportation is real
twin bear
well how would you feel if one of your patrols started dropping unstable fuel on...
Bros getting a raise
stable lintel
yeah they control entire planets
twin bear
Remember my fleet is a horde based fleet
I just wish I could become a dictator of smaller planets on systems controlled by pirates
Tell them join or die
Maybe heg
neon bramble
you can just invade them
twin bear
Wasn't the best choice for this build
twin bear
you can just invade them
Not enough bodies
I wish I could send raids into populated zones for pop control on a smaller scale
Would be cool
My commanders personality is
If u aren't heg
U need to die or join heg
Humanity is heg, heg is humanity
neon bramble
you're not a heg officer
twin bear
Anything not of heg domain is subhuman and must be purged to ensure the sectors complete and utter control
neon bramble
just daud's strongest auxiliary
twin bear
I'm what heg officers wish they were
Considering I could
Kill them all
🥀 the one heg fleet who caught me with ai found out
neon bramble
part of why they turn on you when you glass worlds
twin bear
Ah I see
Scared of me
Cuz I'm just so friendly
I'd never bomb jangala I totally don't have fuel to constantly do it late game
twin bear
I picture my commander is just some rly sickly deranged heg simp
He read the holo propaganda
Also uses space reddit
Ofc
I might make a killzone hellghast type faction
Like thru my colonies
Just overwhelming and overtaking nearby systems
Ofc slapping AI on it all
Maximum profts
twin bear
I'm so proud
Where can I let the luddic idiots who got stranded on the fringe go
I could let them off on a luddic planet
But I presume they'll be executed
Rightfully so after all I may hate ludd but I hate heretics and hypocrisy more

I just got my main rig back from the local pc repair shop I cut my teeth on IT work and computer repair in back in 2007, I had to ship it out here and both it and my server were jostled enough to require work on so I'm especially glad there was nothing seriously wrong with this system
my plex and game server is still in the shop as the case I literally just got it recased in back in march got dropped or something. rivets got knocked out but thankfully just my old gpu and the case needed replacing
chalk it up to bad luck I guess
viral echo
I thought the motherboard on this system was dead when I first put it together because it would not power on
press power button, nothing type dead.
oak gazelle
viral echo
it would only power on if i unplugged the system and left it unplugged for 40 seconds then plug it back in
i have no clue why it does that
oak gazelle
what was up with it? corrupted bios or dying cmos battery would be my guesses
viral echo
it was like that for years, if I ever power it off it wont power back on
oak gazelle
freaking weird, but computers man. as long as they do what we want them to do ultimately we'll put up with a lot of variance in system quirks
viral echo
i put some more ram in it (i got another pair of matching ram sticks) and now it works fine
viral echo
my reaction
sacred schooner
all you had to do was download more ram
viral echo
i dont understand at all
oak gazelle
oak gazelle
I'd look through the bios revision notes on the motherboard support site and see if it was a known issue that got patched just for fun
viral echo
i updated the bios and everything, nothing fixed it
i took the computer apart multiple times, taking everything out
i just gave up on it and figured oh well just deal with it
oak gazelle
built a lot of APU systems in my career and saw a significantly higher than typical configurations for a few years before it got a lot better
viral echo
i think it might be because the RAM i have is single rank rams
oak gazelle
I get it, we've gotten well past the "ONLY USE RAM ON OUR SUPPORT LIST" ddr1 and ddr2 days
viral echo
because not only did using all 4 sticks fix it, it also gets double the throughput and better latency for the exact same ram clock speed.
oak gazelle
my media server has four 8gb ddr4 3200 sticks but not a damn one is matched nor do I care if I'm losing out on single or dual channel as it doesn't need that small boost to do what it does already well enough
viral echo
i was expecting a slighy uplift in speed, but it was more than double
oak gazelle
my next computer related purchase will be another 8gb stick of ram for my brother's laptop. he's been using a system that's got a single 8gb stick of ram but since his system has a gpu and igpu windows has been running on under 6gb of ram for years
viral echo
This is DDR4 3600 8GB single rank sticks
oak gazelle
I get it, I'm running the same speed ddr4 on my gaming pc, such good performance I don't mind it's not latest gen
viral echo
i was always told Ryzen CPUs were better off only using 2 stick of ram
wrong
if it's single rank ram you need all 4 sticks, you live and learn
oak gazelle
yeah... that's an odd one. I've never heard that but I've been out of work a few years
viral echo
i didn't even know the ram was single rank until i wanted to put more ram in and looked it up
oak gazelle
I think single rank ram is just dumb for most usecases
viral echo
😭
viral echo
single rank ram is a bit rare, dunno why i accidentally got it
at least now I know if you want to use a ryzen system with 4 sticks, single rank, 2 sticks dual rank
i hope they fixed that shit on DDR5
oak gazelle
yeah at least that weird startup issue got worked out, nice when you stop trying to fix things and they just resolve themselves in due course
viral echo
but why would it stop the PC from turning on though, what i can figure out
it makes zero sense to me
I even asked grok and it didn't know
oak gazelle
yeah my guess would be a bios revision issue
viral echo
but it would not even get to the posting part in the bios
oak gazelle
or a ram stick possession
oak gazelle
sounds like it's the hardware is possessed option lol
viral echo
also sometimes when i reboot my computer the Ethernet wont reconnect and I have to unplug the cable and plug it back in, even though the led is on, most annoying shit ever
oak gazelle
you got a fucking lemon of a motherboard wow
viral echo
yeah ,it's not software either, no amount of reboots fixes it
viral echo
when it's working it's stable as fuck, it just likes to troll me
oak gazelle
you just wonder if a disgruntled worker decided to sabotage some stuff on the production line
viral echo
gremlins
oak gazelle
the cat technician would say it's greebles
viral echo
why can't things either work or be broken, why is there something in between?
oak gazelle
one could blame all computer anomalies on Florida Man and it would make about as much sense as some of the things we've considered to blame
viral echo
wasted hours of my life trying to fix shit that can't be fixed
oak gazelle
ah well, at least you have a workaround. as long as the power and it stay on you're golden
viral echo
to be fair, I should have tried different ram, I didn't think to do that
I've just never heard of ram not allowing a PC to turn on
oak gazelle
I used to have it happen to me all the time with incompatible motherboards and ram kits back when I started building computers for friends, guess it's nice those issues are mostly a thing of the past
viral echo
i don't even know how the motherboard overrides the power switch
oak gazelle
yeah usually you at least get lights and fans
viral echo
no leds no fans the psu doesn't even spin up the fan
oak gazelle
its just like 'I sleep'
viral echo
it's like you haven't press the button
viral echo
technically you can power on a motherboard with no ram and no CPU
oak gazelle
it's going out of its way to fuck with you
viral echo
in fact this motherboard allows you to flash the bios without either
oak gazelle
"this time I'll make him touch my LAN port"
viral echo
one of those motherboards where you put the usb stick into the right port and press the bios flash button
oak gazelle
and when it finally does post instead of a beep it goes 'uWu' but menacingly
viral echo
computers are fun
oak gazelle
yeah I got addicted to the problems so I started distro hopping in 2008
viral echo
you get a puzzle to play before you even get to use it
oak gazelle
stable, typical system configuration? GETTHATOUTTAMAHFACE!
viral echo
i distro hopped until i got to Arch
oak gazelle
I get it, and I like arch in theory but cachyos a lot more in practice
so I get the goodies of arch without the membership jacket and extra ironic trilby hat
viral echo
The last few installs on other computer I just installed cachyos
oak gazelle
it's just a great implementation of linux
haven't felt as at home with an OS since I found Kubuntu
viral echo
pretty much is Arch anyways, but you get a nice live environment
young vigil
hello?
oak gazelle
and it just does the performance optimization in a more windows like way, but yeah
oak gazelle
Does anyone know Joelana4peeps?
never heard of them
viral echo
optimised packages for your CPU + handy tools that install crap for you
young vigil
ok
oak gazelle
and support for whatever installation method you want, it's just easy as pie and the fact that it makes the arch foundation so accessible is fantastic
I'm still going to try a linux from scratch install and an outright arch install one day but that's because I like filling in blind spots in my tech experience even when I have settled on a daily driver flavor for the foreseeable future you know? just not on my main rig
viral echo
the only thing that pisses me off with arch you you have to periodically reinstall the keyring package
young vigil
nothing
glass wigeon
oak gazelle
the only thing that pisses me off with arch you you have to periodically reinsta...
yeah there's a few nitpicky things about some distros that have kept me away from them even though I want to learn them
oak gazelle
like for example avoiding the reason I left windows with needing to reinstall the OS so often just to stay current or avoid winrot (not just staying bleeding edge performance) so when I see that reinstallation schedule for other reasons in other operating systems I'm like oh well
hazy monolith
@glass wigeon where you the one who called the stormcloaks "stormcucks"
cause i kinda see it now
viral echo
dunno why the package manager isn;t written to just fix itself when that happens
glass wigeon
<@807019234789556314> where you the one who called the stormcloaks "stormcucks"
yes

glass wigeon
i play as anord
but i do not associate with stormcucks

viral echo
like they put it as an option, but I don't think anyone ever plays as one
hazy monolith
glass wigeon
ive also played a dragon girl before with mods
glass wigeon

he taught me it after giving him his family sword
vital marten

hazy monolith
what modpack are you using
oak gazelle
minor skooma rant. of course the day I go refill my rolling papers I was almost out of the cheap ass grinder I got from the local headshop has fully jammed. it's bad enough it was super expensive, has a kief catch tray but it's not connected to anything, has a random usb charged led light and instead of a chamber with a screen it has a weird built in jar with a sliding door/hole on it but I needed something quick so it was an impulse buy. now I get to break up my smoke with these shitty hands of mine again and hope they'll give me some store credit at least because this sucks
vital marten
grey manes v battle borns was it?
glass wigeon
hazy monolith
is it either of these
glass wigeon
what modpack are you using
one sec
hazy monolith
viral echo
running around blocking people hitting you with a hammer for 20 minutes to increase your block skill
glass wigeon
top one
glass wigeon
yes
vital marten
I think it's a good idea to run from sir crabalot
glass wigeon
I think it's a good idea to run from sir crabalot
now i beat him to death
no
he didnt do much damage
despite being level 80
vital marten
just tanky?
viral echo
15GB!!!
glass wigeon
theres modpacks out there that are 100gb
hazy monolith
still weights less than modern games
hazy monolith
theres modpacks out there that are 100gb
holy moly
vital marten
modders go crazy
viral echo
I remember when skyrim first came out and you had to mod the game without the modding tools
fun times
glass wigeon
viral echo
what happened to the UI?
hazy monolith
no u cant use it mid game
FUCK
vital marten
🤣
hazy monolith
:(
glass wigeon
what happened to the UI?
wdym
viral echo
i dont remember skyrim having that UI
glass wigeon
a story in 2 images
viral echo
LOL
glass wigeon
hazy monolith
theres probably a mod out there that adds the lusty argonian
viral echo
big tiddy mods
hazy monolith
I WAS ABOUT TO MENTION THAT
viral echo
is there any hope for the next elder scrolls game?
hazy monolith
no
viral echo
is it over?
vital marten
so more unique now
its got that harry potter look idk
hazy monolith
there has to be mod out there that adds the lusty argonian maid as a housecarl
vital marten
reminds me of a harry potter game I played on some old console
atleast the color gradient
vital marten
dual dragon
hazy monolith
ik
glass wigeon
if u own a house
hazy monolith
oh
viral echo
i want a elder scrolls game where you are not the chosen one, and you get eaten by those dragons
glass wigeon
the modpack i have can do that
can choose alternate start
i wasnt gonna do main quest but decided to do it
starting at level 20
vital marten
i want a elder scrolls game where you are not the chosen one, and you get eaten ...
I swear some at the top of these companies say "there's no way someone wouldn't want to be the chosen one, you play games to have fun and win!"
hazy monolith
I swear some at the top of these companies say "there's no way someone wouldn't ...
there are probably a good few games where youre pretty much a background character
viral echo
one of the dumbest things in recent elder scrolls games is bandits level scaling and getting daedric armor
hazy monolith
