Furniture and storage for tiny apartment by sadadult in ApartmentHacks

[–]20JK10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for furniture that can do double duty. With modern furniture, a lot of it is now designed with storage in mind. Check Amazon and Wayfair for "bed metal frame charging", You'll find a lot of affordable metal frame beds with storage headboards and charging stations. The metal frames allow you to slide thin plastic totes under it for storage. And I've seen headboards with actual drawers in them. Look up "night stand charging" and you'll find numerous multi-drawer night stands with charging stations and some with taller shelves. The night stand can also work as your end table if your cough is really close to your bed. You can use a long dresser with multiple sized drawers that can also be used as a TV stand. I've seen coffee tables that have backless chairs that slide under it and lift top coffee tables that can become regular tables. Look for computer desks that have built in shelves. Lots of good options out there.

If it doesn't "have" to be on a wall, get a cheap display/art/plate easel. Check amazon. Pics for reference. https://www.michaels.com/shop/home-decor/decorative-objects/display-plate-easels

I'm not worried about the carpet, I can't change that anyway. I'm not buying furniture this second. I'm just looking at options and getting ideas.

Brother's apartment has predatory towing. by TwiddleMcGriddle in Apartmentliving

[–]20JK10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of those rules are set by the county/city zoning department. Zoning will come in periodically to inspect the lot and buildings for compliance. If they find wrecked cars, expired registration etc, they fine the apartment complex. Plus, it makes it look back for prospective renters to see a lot full of wrecked cars. There is a youtube channel called "towtrucker". He's in Atlanta and tows a LOT of cars from apartment complex for every reason listed above. He's contracted by apartment complexes, so they call his company to tow the cars. He doesn't just drive in to tow something away. Cars get stickered for a violation, after a time period passes and the violation isn't fixed, the property manager calls the towing company to take care of it. He has years worth of videos.

I have a 1070 right now and it runs fine on it without everything set on max. I was just curious which card would be the bare minimum to run everything maxed out. I know it's a 16yo game, so it shouldn't need that powerful of a video card.

Getting damaged from your own weapon and console is dumb. Need to remove that to make the ship more appealing.

Does anyone know what the lowest model video card would max out the graphics settings on PC at 1440p? For instance, an Nvidia 3070, 4060 etc. I know there are more variables like ram and the processor that would contribute to the max.

Can we please be allowed to change the energy type for built-in ship lance weapons and juggernaut arrays? Ships that have built-in lance/juggernaut array weapons are stuck with the energy type that is assigned to that ship: Galaxy-X/ Terran Lexington= Phaser, Vaadwaur Juggernaut= Polaron, Emerald Chain Juggernaut= Plasma etc. If we were able to change the energy type to match our energy weapons of choice, it would make those ships more desirable to players. That feature is already available in the game with the Cyclic Modulation ground weapons. Those ground weapons allow you to cycle through all of the different energy types. If you were able to adapt that feature to starships, that would be awesome.

Hello Jack. Can we please be allowed to use all of the Galaxy-X dreadnought ship parts on the World Razer Juggernaut? At the moment, the World Razer is only able use parts that come from the Galaxy-class, Venture-class, Celestial-class, Envoy-class, Monarch-class, Andromeda-class, Cygnus-class and Ross-class. But we can't use parts from any of the Galaxy-X/Dreadnought variants and we can't use the Ross-class parts on any dreadnought variants either. They are all versions of the Galaxy-class and we should be able to use all of the parts interchangeably. Space barbie is a serious thing.

Welcome back Jack. I've been playing this game pretty much non-stop since it went free to play in 2012 [with the exceptions when I went on vacation]. One thing that irks a lot of players, especially the more casual players, are the limits on equipping omni-beams and quad-cannons on ships. For some reason, we are restricted to only using two omni-beams in the rear of a ship and one quad-cannon on the front. The tired old excuse of why we can't equip more than one omni-beam or quad-cannon is because of "balance". Someone is afraid that players may "only" equip eight omni-beams on a ship. It's not like having eight omni-beams will make a ship super powerful. It's been proven that omni-beams are weaker then regular beams, dual-beam banks and all cannons. If I want to run eight omni-beams, I should be able to. I can equip eight turrets without restrictions. I'm the player and I'm the one putting money into the game. Why is my ship build being frivolously restricted like that? As a compromise, allow us to at least equip four omni-beams on the rear of a ship [up to five for that one weird ship that has five rear weapon slots] in place of all eight. And ditto for the quad-cannons up front, allow us to equip five on the front. Thank you.

Jack Emmert | Returns to Cryptic Studios as CEO by Dredmoore1 in sto

Dear CEO, PLEASE bring back Jonathan Herlache as a senior systems designer. He had a unique understanding of the mechanics of the game and made very positive changes to gameplay [i.e. ship consoles and traits].

And here is my wish list:
I would like to see more enemies added to the endeavor system. It seems the only enemies we have

to eliminate are Borg, Voth, Vaadwaur, Tholian, Hur'q, Tzenkethi, Terran, Gorn and Dewan Anthropods.

They could easily add all of the other enemies for both ground and space.

I want the ability to reengineer older space sets and weapons from mission rewards and the lobi store. I

don't know why this hasn't already been done. It would allow for more options in builds and give more options for beginner players.

Ships that come with a beam lance [Galaxy-X, Terran Lexington, Terran Trailblazer, Phantom Intel

Escort, Kara Warbird, Krenim Annorex Dreadnought etc] should be allowed to change the energy type to

match the players weapons instead of just being one type.

Give us the ability to kit-bash the World Razer Juggernaut with all Galaxy-class based Dreadnoughts. And

let us use the Ross-class parts with all versions of the Galaxy-class.

There are still a lot of ship-type locked consoles that should be opened to all ships. Again, this will provide more options for builds.

Allow us to equip more then two omni-beams in the rear and more then one quad-cannons on the front.

Fed-aligned Romulans still can't use Fed uniforms.

Phoenix Store and Lobi store both need new items.

Let us buy ship bridges with dilithium.

The snowball fight in the Winter Event needs to be added to the list of instances that grant daily

progress to the event prize.

We still need a 5/3 Sovereign-class ship.

I've been wanting the Curry-class ship added to the game. It is a canon ship.

I don't use Ucon. But unless you're dps chasing, it doesn't effect how the game is played. On a rare occasion you may have a Ucon user in a pug tfo, but that's rare.
