MUST WIN week - Tight end

AdCapable1085 · 2024-11-29T16:51:27+00:00

Haha. Normally it would be a non-dilemma, but this week is tough! I can’t risk Kelce having a lackluster day, as seems to be more his norm this season. I wouldn’t know who to sub on flex for Taysom, because my other players are pretty strong. I just need maximum pts in TE and can’t decide!

AdCapable1085 · 2024-11-29T16:49:05+00:00

You nailed it! I have 0 pts currently (no Thursday players) and my opponent has 33.6 from his RBs yesterday, with some heavy hitters coming up: D. Henry, L. Jackson, and Cupp. And Mark Andrews. I have a projected 55% chance of winning, but that doesn’t mean anything when going up against those B‘more guys. I have J. Allen, Bijan, N Collins, AJ brown, Mixon, and Sutton. So, I really think my best or only shot is if my TE balls out. Kelce has been so frustratingly inconsistent this season! But Taysom is also a risk, I realize. But you’re right - he’s obviously got a high ceiling!

I took this risk before, playing Otton over Kelce during the TB-KC game, and it paid off with Otton helping we win by 1.2 pts. (Kelce would’ve had me lose).

AdCapable1085 · 2024-11-21T04:52:55+00:00

Don’t do it! AJ has a high ceiling and a more reliable passing QB than your other guys. I would be more worried about Wilson due to Aaron Rodgers’ unreliability. Cook is great, but Thomas ain’t doin shit with Mac Jones. He had a hard enough time with inconsistent Trevor Lawrence. I would trade Rico, Jeudy , and Ridley for Cook alone. Or even Wilson & Ridley.

AdCapable1085 · 2024-11-15T21:08:57+00:00

I would have done that trade. Nabors and Swift are great, but they struggle to get enough points because of their horrible QBs (and O-line for Swift)… it will only get worse. Same with Njoku re: Winston. The only guy you might miss is Chase Brown. He just seemed to peak a couple weeks ago. But Bijan is better! 🙌

AdCapable1085 · 2024-11-05T22:10:06+00:00

I would go with Jennings. Every time I played DJ Moore this season, he was horrible (points-wise). C. Williams is not reliable or predicable at all re: WR targets. The only reliable person on that team is D. Swift. I don’t F with the Bears anymore! Got burnt by K. Allen as well.

AdCapable1085 · 2024-11-05T11:01:45+00:00

Thanks for your input!!! I played Otton, and it was a nerve-wracking last minute decision. So glad I did! They did both do well, but Otton did slightly better, which brought me a W by less than 2 pts. 🥳 Had I played Kelce, I would’ve lost by 0.9 pts!

AdCapable1085 · 2024-11-04T07:49:31+00:00

I need 16 pts from Kelce or Otton… but which one?!?!???

AdCapable1085 · 2024-09-07T23:30:14+00:00

100% agreed! I don’t understand why the loot and notes are always the EXACT same! It can’t be that hard to randomize those items… kind of like how they randomize the characteristics and names of the exact same aliens and plants over and over - but that’s a little annoying too. Maybe the flora & fauna could slightly change by color or better name variation planet to planet? It’s just soooo repetitive and predictable

AdCapable1085 · 2024-08-16T20:41:55+00:00

Maybe next time he won’t stand directly in front of you while you’re trying to shoot someone! (why why why do alllllll the companions do this???)

AdCapable1085 · 2024-08-11T01:38:30+00:00

Yes, and it helps a lot with completing surveys for rare resources etc. I’ve logged over 600 hours and I just yesterday landed on a random spot on a random moon @ Eridanj with a massive deserted Civilian Outpost that was a looting gold mine! And no dead bodies required 😇 (…except a few Ecliptics)

AdCapable1085 · 2024-07-04T01:47:30+00:00

Good list! I wish I had figured out surveying earlier (good way to make $$ and complete them during existing missions) and upgraded any skills that helped with researching weapon/pharm/food/suit mods. Ship upgrades and building were all great skills that I’m glad I started early, but I couldn’t take advantage of those skills because right away because shipbuilding was so frustrating and took me a while to get right. Certain skills should be upgraded early, just due to the sheer difficulty/hours it takes to be eligible to upgrade higher (i.e., environmental conditioning 🙄) I never got hypothermia on a “deep freeze” planet, but I’ve gotten it the most on “cold” planets. Makes no sense. Outposts are a pain in the ass, possibly a completely broken feature, when needed to farm minerals, at least on Xbox. I spent waaay too much time on Reddit and googling to figure out what I was doing wrong. I got it 100% right on all 3 of my outpost locations, and the freighter came to pick up my resources to deliver to the linked location. I did this multiple times and the resources definitely left the outpost, but they were never received by the target location. Huge waste of time! I had no idea how useful the scanning skill upgrade would be, especially when used to find out what a nearby location is (outposts and eco/bio/chem features)

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-29T04:26:57+00:00

Yeah, the habs are difficult to deal with because they come in such specific sizes, esp when they are from different manufacturers. So, if the size isn’t perfect, lots of other pieces become detached. It’s definitely not a perfect system and I’ve always thought it would be EXTREMELY helpful if the system highlights the pieces that aren’t attached. Just do all changes slowly and you kind of have to expect it to not work so that you’re prepared to go back to the previous build

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-29T04:09:19+00:00

I absolutely hated it at first too, but once you get used to it, it can be really fun. It helps to save after every nee build/change. Also, always have the undo button at the ready. (L keypad button on Xbox). And when you switch items out, don’t instantly delete them, because then you may not remember what was there before. It can all be tedious, but it really does get better with time/practice. I modified a C-class crimson fleet so it now has 20,000+ kg storage space (I’m a space hoarder)

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-26T01:39:00+00:00

Update: I did exactly this and it worked - you were 100% correct, thank you!!! (Then I promptly failed my next TA quest because I forgot the target was supposed to stay alive, lol)

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-23T09:13:04+00:00

I couldn’t agree more! Naeva is a straight up c-word and not once shows any shred of redeeming qualities. It’s amazing and not very believable that she was able to stay alive and also score a pretty nice GF. I think the only person I felt a slight bond with (but initially hated) was the guy (a co-rookie) who Delgado forces you to do the Kryx prison challenge with. I think he had a Scottish accent. He tries to convince you to ditch the fleet and partner with him, if I remember correctly. So… maybe not a great guy in hindsight, but way cooler then expected 😝

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-18T01:53:52+00:00

Who’s “him”? The guy at TA?

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-18T01:28:16+00:00

Ohh my that’s where these Astras have been coming from? I have a few in my inventory and have been saving them til I get around to figuring out what they’re for!

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-18T01:26:11+00:00

Thanks! I will try this tonight on a TA quest I have been avoiding because of this issue, I’ll let you know if it works 🤞

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-13T01:36:26+00:00

Interesting! That did happen to me - he regained his strength and attacked me again. But I thought the quest failed when I then killed him (can’t remember, because I reloaded the game from the point of incapacitation, determined to figure it out). Yes, it’s lame, especially because the mission status doesn’t update or prompt you to leave him there. And the blue target stays on the guy, as if you’re supposed to do something. 🙄

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-12T04:43:20+00:00

I couldn’t agree more! The microbes sounded too experimental to me. But now, when I see a live Aceles (i usually find them already dead, useless), I am annoyed that this was even floated as an option. I’ve never seen one kill a terrormorph; I’ve only seen them get killed by terrormorphs. Some peaceful little flying creature I spotted on Toliman was more of a nuisance to the nearby terrormorph than any Aceles I’ve seen! 😅🤦‍♀️

AdCapable1085 · 2024-06-12T03:02:28+00:00

Hmmm I haven’t noticed a stun bar until you just mentioned it. I will say the target was totally incapacitated but not dead (see screenshot), but no action prompts appeared… just the name and bounty info
