JQRandom thought of the day: offensive AMFU mod from engineers.

AMFU carries no ammunition for charges, instead pulling parts from disabled enemy ships to repair your own vessel while damaging the ship whose parts are being harvested in the process.

Probably not the most useful thing, but it sounds fun in my head.


Love it!

(Wettoast) Wanda FersegiSo the Pollux listening post transmission was a memorial, not any warning about an imminent thargoid attack or invasion.... I feel like I just got rick rolled ....

Yeah, no jump tonight. It's a little bit shame, but the invasion still may come...

I'll pass. I'm only back in the Core Systems long enough to engineer a bunch of modules and then I'm heading back to the Colonia bubble. Ain't nobody got time for that invasion stuff.

Anyone feel exchangerates in materialtraders are at its best for enjoying the game?

In the light of moore module storage space i wanted too have alternative modules stored too change "mod"on some ships instead of buying new ship
and some did need a improvement.

So what too doo?good oldfashion Grinding,materials this time.

So i grind allkinds,for 14 days or so,ending up having most of them exept Grade 5 on my ignore list(to keep my limpets focused).So the time came for balancing them out for a spesific module(s),I tell you,i now know how a dustball must feel batteling a vacumcleaner....all that focused work and time was reduced too 5min fun and even moore jumping since the Traders are not in one station

Is the game best for those who play 28 hrs a day,too be at a acceptable level,not too forget Guardian modules is not done in a day or 2 on top of it all

Holly macaroni,its like trying go through a black hole and survive

i must add that i had up to 3 grade 5 collector modules at a point in high conflict zones and in Hazzress,thats 9 limpets and 120 in storage space,at the cost of hull and module reinforcement,which is supprisingly fine on Npc battles

ps:it costs nearly 14 mill and 1hr and 20min  one way too trasfere a Corvette or a Cutter from CF 16001 too Maia as a bonus for time saving and use of the service

cheers

Yes, I think the materials exchange is fair and amazing.

A bit of advice. This game sucks if you're trying to "grind it out." Rather I take the lazy day approach to it. I gather materials as I go about my business. For example. I pull a mission to do XYZ at a planetary instillation. As I do that mission, I'll scan things that look interesting, or chase the wave scanner a bit. If I'm in a res site, I take some collection limpets with me to collect the dropped materials. If I do trading, I'll check out the odd USS. Over the course of months, I find that I have quite a few materials to work with, and it makes the game so much more enjoyable.

Hehe,advise taken,but its allso a experiece ive allready learned.But its also telling 100kplayers that they just bought a game that needs months even years of longtherm planning,playing to get THERE,like watching paint dry on a rainfull week. and the fact that there is a small % that really enjoys that kinda stuff.In the meantime deffending Yourself in open play and meet increasing demands on the Thargid story and high rebuys Forces you too look at impovements that can be done,and again rates and time use dont pay up when its a endless goal


The Game screams Grind me,from the first moment in your game

Too mee it sounds like dogshit wrappped in candypaper,and probably easy for you to say,since you allready THERE.
(sorry for that,i know your integrety is well above mine,and ur a great player asfar i know)

Indubitably.


As I told someone else here once, my writing style tends to draw influence from as follows:

-1 part David Weber (i.e. The Honorverse)
-1 part US Navy technical manuals
-1 part SCP Foundation (the parts that involve fictional bureaucratic bullshit, not the parts involving the eldritch horror)

That's nice, but I'm trying to prove the point that you don't need to invest long gaming sessions into the game to enjoy it and succeed at it.
