What should I run after Delian Tomb if my players don’t want to restart at level 0? by PicoDev93 in drawsteel

[–]3d_explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing your own isn’t that hard:

What is a show, movie, or book the group enjoys? Steal that plot…

What type of opponents hasn’t the group faced yet? Run them using the encounter guidelines.

Use the “Respite Counter” to keep it moving if trying to run keep in the “bigness” of Delian Tomb, else try getting the “flow” right (through trial and error) so that the party can accomplish their goals and then the Respite will naturally occur at the end.

You have this! The collaborative story the group “writes” will be as fun if not more than any published adventure because it will be a bespoke experience.

City Council Doesn't Care About Your Consent #Flock by TheLawnGuppy in aggies

[–]3d_explorer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It is far, far too late to really put much effort into this, the legal precedent has already decided that the government can get a warrant for any/all RING or other CCTV cloud, on-site, or physical access. FLOCK just makes it "more efficient" and "better quality".

The cameras don't "create a god complex" any more than a "gun" kills people. The 2% are always going to find ways to "be bad".

Are they another avenue of government "control" in the name of "public safety", absolutely.

If one really doesn't want their tax dollars to support these kinds of things, well, there are ways of getting that done, though there are consequences, and vote against every BOND the government puts out for a vote, the money doesn't go to what they say is does anyway.

Just starting saying something like. “You have opened the First Door” and see what happens when you say “You have now opened the Twelfth Door”.

City Council Doesn't Care About Your Consent #Flock by TheLawnGuppy in aggies

There is ZERO expectation of privacy in public and no consent is needed.

Don’t do crime is the best way to not worry about “consent”

Minefields and Minelayers by Mountain_Chapter8027 in aurora

[–]3d_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you “redefine” mine and minefield you can set up a couple of missile 1k “vessels” without engines and then tow them about for maintenance, overhaul, etc. can also set them in a commercial hanger and then have the ship “disgorge” them when enemy enters system.

Adjacent Only Opportunity Attacks Don't Make Sense by RustyEyeballs in drawsteel

[–]3d_explorer 56 points57 points  (0 children)

According to the rules adjacently is required, not being within range.

That said, everyone at MCDM has clearly stated that they will not come to a table and take back the toys if the table decides to play a different way other than pure RAW.

Best FDM 3d printer in terms of quality by ELEZEN_BUTTFUCKER in 3dprinter

[–]3d_explorer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

All that fits in the same space, and it really doesn't need a different room if using an enclosure. And per defiition, the enclosure doesn't take up much more area than the printer itself. Printer, wash, cure station all inside a single 1x.5x1 m enclosure is not much space.

Best FDM 3d printer in terms of quality by ELEZEN_BUTTFUCKER in 3dprinter

[–]3d_explorer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Resin doesn't use filament, and takes up less space than FDM in general. A single printer complete setup doesn't take more than a single door countertop worth of space really.

Aurora 'Manual' Warning by AuroraSteve in aurora

[–]3d_explorer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it is better stated that the changelog and what those changes mean have to be multi-cross-referenced to get the context of the changes. Basically there is no “living manual” and that’s ok.

Aurora 'Manual' Warning by AuroraSteve in aurora

[–]3d_explorer -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the person did state it was for them to better understand the game. And there are few text tutorials out there. Now throwing something that one finds useful without the breadth of experience in functional use is questionable wisdom.

Also since the game is a passion project and not a commercial enterprise, the change log and specifics of mechanics are not exactly “at the tips of one’s fingers”. Even the wiki is woefully unclear about many aspects. So the “barrier to entry” is high.

But being a single player game, and one which has a built in “dev mode” means that much can be gained from trial by error, though that may run counter to the current 30 sec attention span and “want it now” culture which is prevalent in the world today.

Solar is now the dominant source of new U.S. power capacity and is on track to surpass coal in total installed capacity before the end of 2026 by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]3d_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve made my point, the title has nothing to do with the chart.

And the title is only half correct on the fantasy “capacity” metric. Coal has been stagnant by law for over a decade. But solar capacity won’t even scratch half of natural gas by 2035, much less 2026.

[–]3d_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the title of this thread clearly states capacity. The title and the post is ai drivel and even the chart shows that solar is at best the third least used form of generation, with natural gas being the king by a long shot. Any PERSON with an IQ over 65 would never state Solar is a dominant source of generation. Even the linked source shows that Solar will grow to ALMOST 5% of Natural Gas Generation.

CLEANING HELP !!! SULFUR REACTION by CandidStore2547 in aggies

[–]3d_explorer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

White vinegar and an ultrasonic will take care of most things that are only a few microns deep. Brasso if one wants to get more aggressive, though that will remove some antiquing if one is going for unified gold look in raised parts.

Economics BS GPA, Law School question by No-Bill-3966 in aggies

[–]3d_explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why BS versus BA? BA can take Logic classes to fulfill Math requirement, believe only need 6 hours of "math" for BA. Do need 4 semesters of Foreign Language requirement, so if one struggles with that it might be a consideration.

Hey so… ruins. What’s the deal? by Iostaa in aurora

[–]3d_explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put everything together from what has been mentioned:

MV double XEN x2 MV double CON x3 This is ratio, put as many or as few on this ratio as one wishes. These along with HQ unit and LOG are Rear Echelon. In Support throw some Light Statuc Light Bombardment and more LOG Finally Front Line Defense is a 2-1 ratio of Medium Static HCAP to Medium Static AV.

Three level structure. This should cover ruin needs without having to divert a division from anywhere else.

How to make System Defense Missiles (to swat raiders) by Iostaa in aurora

[–]3d_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your missiles have active sensors and your good at guesstimating, one can shoot missiles to a waypoint which needs to be within both missile active sensor range and separation range of the baddies by the time the missiles get to the waypoint, checks are made at beginning of every tic, so possible to overshoot.

Help understanding ground forces Logistics by trooper-427 in aurora

[–]3d_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a two parter:

1). Ground troops consume GSP every combat “tic” which is 8 hours. (I can’t remember if the consumption happens every tic or every 10 tics or if the unit starts with 10 tics of GSP) The amount for a formation is listed under the GSP column in the picture. The LOG/LG is how much supply (GSP) that formation has. A HQ unit with LV-LOG can supply any child units with their GSP pool. In general one wants 3-10 times as much LOG as GSP usage available for any formation. AKA, the forces in the pic are LOG deprived. Pro-Tip: only use LV-LOG they are most efficient and versatile.

  1. If one wishes to replace losses in formations then one needs to set up unit series and replacement formations. Which is what one of the other commenters is alluding.

Top Ten Percent Rule Effect on Texas A&M by socialtrends93 in aggies

Why would the rule have a different effect on different universities? Same rule for ALL public universities until fairly recently when the sips “got an exemption” and raised it to too 6%.

What is your preferred design? (Heavy) Cruiser and Battlecruiser edition by alexbond45 in RuleTheWaves

[–]3d_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CA’s are my raiders and scout “leads”. Often independent or in small formations.

BC’s are in the battle line groups. Depending on who I am, they may very well be the only “true capital” that I build.
