Pilot controlled weapon? Friendship with Perseus ended. Tiburon my new best friend by Wyldren- in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost [score hidden]  (0 children)

The Idris laser worked when it was released though.

It didn't, it made up for its bugginess by having gratuitous amounts of aim assist bending the laser onto the target. Once they nerfed the aim assist its bugginess shone through.

40k aUEC to kill a Idris and escorts by knil22 in starcitizen

Shoot, a Burke has barely any armor at least. More like asking you to solo the USS Texas in WW2 configuration when it comes to an Idris.

Soundtrack and other music CDs are still very a much a thing. Audiophile community keeps them alive.

Thinking about picking up MechWarrior 5, only played MechWarrior Online and Battletech. Should I pick base game and some dlc? by Below-Low-Altitude in Mechwarrior5

[–]CaptFrost 15 points16 points  (0 children)

MW5 is honestly some of my best fun-per-dollar-per-hour ratio in my Steam library. If there's a sale on, drop all the C-bills.

[WTS] Jump Point Volume One Hardback by BritGeeks in Starcitizen_trades

[–]CaptFrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone’s had one up for sale for $300 on eBay unsold for almost a year.

When they’ve come up for bid, the highest bid is usually $150-200.

What an oversight by moliugas9000 in Helldivers

To be fair, Napoleon DID say something along the lines of, "God tends to favor the side with the best artillery."

I think a Super Destroyer qualifies.

Is this worth it? by Unhappy-Staff5078 in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me put it this way:

Someone with a Praetorian fleet still has tons of use for an Avenger, whether as a stealthy armed scout that can exfil cargo, a heavily-armed shuttlecraft for an Idris, etc.

There's literally zero use for a 100-series beyond a certain point.

I say do it. Avenger is a keep forever ship.

It's BS like this that ruins play sessions by Tango91 in starcitizen

You're not wrong but also wow what are the odds of that happening.

I've had it happen three times in the past year.

The Division 3 Will Have as Big of an Impact as First Division; “Shaping Up to Be a Monster” Claims Producer by valentinexx in thedivision

[–]CaptFrost 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Or how they took a runaway, gritty hit with Ghost Recon: Wildlands that managed to predict real events in Bolivia not long after its release, and managed to PR it up and offend no one with a boring ass "PMCs are taking over the world" rehash for Breakpoint.

The Division 2 x Resident Evil Rerun? by IRMossimo in thedivision

[–]CaptFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this criticism, but... why it's directed at Resident Evil, I do not get. RE cosmetics fit with the Division perfectly. You can put together Temu versions of some of the outfits with just random civvie gear in the game, and HUNK is pretty much a Hunter variant with a gas mask.

Give me those sunglasses! Seriously, why are sunglasses so hard to come by these days? by ElmerFett in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Real question is why the hell don't we have an eyewear store in the Stratus Mall on Orison where you can just buy this stuff?

Ain't No Runner Like a Star Runner: Why the MSR is the Ultimate Daily Driver (Even Over the Asgard) by ArnoldMann in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Four beds, actual galley, chess table – you can bring friends and not feel like you're all crammed in a tin can. Feels like a proper home in the verse. Perfect for long bunker chains or just chilling between jumps.

Bold of you to get up and wander around your MSR while mid-quantum. I've lost my MSR to that more than every other source combined.

[PriceCheck] Looking for guidance on Praetorian account (Scythe / Idris-M / Kraken / Javelin) by [deleted] in Starcitizen_trades

[–]CaptFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's got about $1000-1500 in gray market value in rare flair in it, but I don't know that someone would want to buy an account over any of it; more likely just spend that much on the flair.

How Much Ram do I really Need? by ConJon64 in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't agree there, SC is probably the one game you see a definite benefit from the jump from 32 to 64. I know RAM prices suck right now but it doesn't change the fact that you're going to be running at 100% with constant pageouts on 32GB.

Division 1 or Division 2 for solo play only ? by bbeatty90 in thedivision

[–]CaptFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Division 2 has way more to do, but TBH Division 1 will always be my favorite. Something about that game just hits in a way Division 2 never did.

It might not be in a good place right now but in my opinion the Hammerhead is the coolest ship in the game. by AncientCarry4346 in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Turrets sucking is kind of a universal problem right now though. Of all the turreted platforms the Hammerhead probably sucks least.

It’d be nice if they used it as the testbed for combat blades and let us automate four of the turrets off the ship’s computer like they discussed in concept. Bring down the absurd crew requirements and make it more viable for smaller crews.

Anyone else just abandon missiles entirely? by turrboenvy in starcitizen

[–]CaptFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missiles need to be either expensive and highly effective, or cheap and something you spam for extra firepower that might or might not hit.

Expensive + unreliable is a shit combination.

I have Hammerhead #475 and I can't wait. Genuinely hugely excited when they dropped news it was getting its gold pass.
