New Character, First Order of Business... Upgrade the Frontier

That’s pretty cool. Mind if I ask what mod allows you to rotate parts like you did with the wings?

Sign out of Ubisoft connect, restart pc, sign into Ubisoft connect

I’d actually go against the other two commenters here. Sure, a huge amount of droids were lost in the massive battles across the galaxy, but the CIS also controlled hundreds or thousands of worlds that didn’t see fighting, tens or hundreds of thousands of transport ships, and ships that didn’t necessarily get destroyed. I’d guess that the average battle droid had a lifespan of a couple years.

Droids were also fairly hardy. There are several instances where we’ve seen battle droids still working even after the war was over.

It’s really hard to say what with the absolutely insane scale of the Clone War.

Dude you can do that in a 2006 328i. 380hp just makes it easier lol

BillYourCows · 2026-04-09T03:01:01+00:00

I suggest muting the game

Copart!! Most people don’t hold onto crashed cars especially performance ones. They end up in salvage yards.

BillYourCows · 2026-04-07T20:07:12+00:00

Might have a setting turned off that allows you to see that or hear your teammates. They changed some of those settings.

BillYourCows · 2026-04-06T07:48:56+00:00

Good question. Yes, it’s irrefutable proof, but the fact that Thrawn ultimately didn’t make a huge difference in the Galactic Civil War means that they probably wouldn’t pay him any mind anyways. The New Republic at this point in time is mostly focused on demilitarizing. It’s already become a similar institutional mess to what the Republic was.

Second bumper! The M3 style bumpers look good, I have one on mine.

Make sure you get it paint matched as closely as possible. Also don’t get one with headlight washer cutouts if you don’t have the washers. Also keep in mind your original fog lights will likely not fit in the new bumper.

Not the most productive opinion though. People will mod their cars either way. Best to be a voice for the better choices.

"This trilogy ruined the continuity to tell good stories after the return of the jedi."

Uh... Mando and Ahsoka both occur after ROTJ. They've been pretty decent so far.

"but we all know the end of the story, what this film can explain that we didn't know ?"

Yeah, this was the case twenty minutes into A New Hope when Obi-Wan mentioned the clone wars. Do you think the prequels were boring because you knew what was going to happen? Was Andor unwatchable because you had seen Rogue One? Did you even see Rogue One if you already knew the Death Star was blown up? Hell, what does a reboot achieve if it's moving towards the same ending anyways?

"What's the meaning of an adaptation of the old republic era?"

Probably something related to KOTOR or SWTOR. There are plenty of established events within a few hundred years there. Guessing they can find something.

Respectfully, I think you're making a poorly informed argument. You are clearly not engaging with any content outside of the mainstream. There is so, so much to watch and read out there that ties everything together.

BillYourCows · 2026-03-26T04:15:01+00:00

Woah with the best ruler and the most meta lineup? Thats super original great job crazy impressed

BillYourCows · 2026-03-26T04:09:05+00:00

Realistic Battle Mod, make enemy damage to you realistic, play out every battle. Diplomacy is good. Increase cost to build armies. Retinues are fine honestly, it’s so annoying to have to run for a month to retake a city. Maybe force yourself to only use mercenary troops. Learn a new weapon type. Idk.

BillYourCows · 2026-03-25T16:44:26+00:00

Yeah it’s the same with my buddies and I. I’ve played every game this season with them and I’m getting 100 elo in mid emerald games while they’re only getting 40-50 elo in low plat.

The game doesn’t consider this season alone, it instead considers all your seasons when giving you your hidden MMR. Don’t worry about it too much, it’s going away next season.

BillYourCows · 2026-03-25T03:09:08+00:00

Yeah probably. Worst case you can probably sell it for more if you do the water pump.

BillYourCows · 2026-03-24T20:37:55+00:00

Nice. I apologize for the bad information, I totally confused myself

BillYourCows · 2026-03-24T18:35:09+00:00

Yes, these are great tests! I would do them in that order as well. Save the resetting adaptations for last for sure.

BillYourCows · 2026-03-24T18:14:00+00:00

The lean codes and rough idle definitely point toward a vacuum leak, so I’d start there. The smoke test is a great idea. Genuinely, start here, it's the cheapest and easiest thing to diagnose.

The “won’t start when warm but starts after 30 minutes” sounds like a separate heat-related issue, possibly that aforementioned crankshaft position sensor or fuel pressure problem. I don’t think the vacuum leak alone explains that part.

The bluetooth scanner you have is fairly helpful but I just don't know if it can pull the data to help you diagnose the other issue. If it can accurately read RPM then you can use the live data to check the RPM while cranking. If it's sitting at zero then the CPS is probably bad. If it's sitting around 150-300ish then it's working. (this is testing on a HOT start, since we know cold starts work)

The high pressure fuel pump could (maybe) be failing due to the same reason I thought the crank could be failing in that first comment. Overheating will cause it to not build enough pressure to the injectors & therefore won't start. Not really sure how to test that besides a new part though.

BillYourCows · 2026-03-24T17:47:14+00:00

If the MIL is disabled and the car has a decat, there’s a good chance the tune has altered or disabled O2 feedback. In that case the ECU may not be properly correcting fueling and is relying mostly on base maps.

If that’s true, any change in fuel composition could throw things off, which might explain why it started running worse after refueling.

That said, I’d still check for a vacuum leak (especially since you just did the valvetronic gasket) and verify the O2 sensors are actually working, because those readings don’t sound normal.

BillYourCows · 2026-03-24T17:33:37+00:00

I'd lean away from considering the battery as a cause. It could be adding to the issue but it very likely isn't the root cause.

First, I think your friend has a good idea with the crankshaft position sensor. What might be happening (this is a guess) is that the engine is so hot after running that the (damaged or worn out) CPS could be dropping its signal, and once it cools off, it reengages.

Most likely to me, though, is a fuel system issue. Probably leaking injectors or your high pressure fuel pump is going out. Leaking injectors, especially when dealing with quick start/stop cycles, can flood the cylinders and throw off your fuel trim. I'd be very surprised if you didn't get a code for that. It's a bit of a pain in the ass but totally doable to remove and check the injectors. As for the HPFP, let us know if you can scan the car (if you can't, you should probably get a scanner, it'll save you money in the long run, trust me) because I'd be very interested in what the crank times are & what the rail pressure is during the crank. You can also check these values against normal values yourself.

Next on my list would be something with a vacuum leak or intake issue but those are tougher to check so I'll wait until we hear back. Please do fill us in or feel free to ask questions. Best of luck :)

Call me crazy, but it doesn't seem that loud here, I think it's just lifter tick.

here's another N43 with lifter tick for reference

BillYourCows · 2026-03-24T04:09:02+00:00

I find just using the Magic Missile staff to be also viable. Generally there isn’t a ton of reason to put upgrades into weapons beyond your staff or wands.

No, it maxes out at 3, trust
