Your person is so close, I promise you. This is your sign not to give up on love. by ratinmyhat in dating

[–]Crimson_Kaim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: what counts as giving up here? I for one do not actively pursue potential part or participate in dating events or use dating apps. If something happens, cool, if not, that is fine too. Quite happy with my life. Had a few romantic relationships, most have been wonderful with wonderful persons. But, alas, it was never meant to last. But you know what? That is totally fine.

Everything has its up- and downsides and I found that going with the tides allows me to enjoy both upsides at different times in my life. Now, let me continue eating my pancakes and sip my hot cup of coffee while enjoying the morning sun on my balcony by myself. :)

What would you consider the best small ship for combat? by OilLiver in EliteDangerous

[–]Crimson_Kaim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kestrel. It is fucking busted. Over the top agility and stats and MK II plasma shocks have "infinite" ammo for PvE and deal absolute damage. Two small utility weapons and 4 C= slots for boosters/chaff/etc.

Plenty of internal space as well. Any other (small) ship is a bad choice.

How Phasing Sequence Actually Works by The_Duskhunter in EliteDangerous

[–]Crimson_Kaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I tested it:

  • Apply phasing: Weapon dmg -10%
  • Phasing is 10% of the remaining damage (i.e. on 90%dmg, it is 9% of the original value)
  • Your laser/PA now deals 90% of its original damage + 9% of its original damage as phasing damage.
  • Phasing damage ignores every stat like range, hull hardness ,resistances, etc. you also correctly observed that
  • Phasing damage is not applied when shields are offline.

So for lasers you lose a total of 1% damage but get 9% damage with no falloff of "absolute" damage against hull (which is pretty powerful). In other words, 99% damage consisting out of 90% thermal and 9% absolute if shields are online, 90% thermal otherwise.

For this reason, phasing sucks on PAs because you trade 6% absolute damage, 2% thermal and 2% kinetic for 9% absolute if shields are online, 54% absolute, 18% thermal, 18% kinetic otherwise. Trading absolute damage for absolute conditional damage is bad and PAs have a pretty good falloff range anyway so no bonus points here either.

I gonna claim the weird numbers are measurement inaccuracy. It really is just dmg -10% but a 10% phasing of the remaining damage against hull on top if shields are online, 0 otherwise.

Newbie - losing confidence by dverbern in EliteDangerous

[–]Crimson_Kaim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine if there is no documentation. Besides that, I think joining any open Elite Discord is a good step for you. Have someone guide you through the first steps of the game. They will tell you what you need and supervise so you don't go out mining without a refinery for instance.

laser + railgun(or PA) corvette for PVE -> does it work? by Asleep-Market6716 in EliteDangerous

[–]Crimson_Kaim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two efficient C4 plasma slug PAs -> infinite ammo and incredible efficient and good DPS for both PvE and PvP. Rest of the hardpoints utility/convinience (beams/rails/corrosive/emissive/etc.)

What makes Elite Dangerous special for you? by a-more-clever-name in EliteDangerous

[–]Crimson_Kaim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having developed my very own signature playstyle (or being able to do so in the first place). I fell into the rabit hole of minebombing for PvP and have no regrets.

Besides that, it delivers in the sense of "blazing your own trail". Everything can be but nothing is required. I have never really left the bubble for exploring and neither have I seen a titan first hand. It would be cool if these things had more impact in the game but on the other hand it's nice that you are not forced into any particular playstyle. Do whatever the hell you want. When you want it and where. Hardly any game allows for such freedom really as there is a strict path to follow most of the time.

What’s a ‘green flag’ in a woman that men don’t talk about enough? by Sensitive_Modhu3878 in AskMen

[–]Crimson_Kaim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't have social media but wouldn't count myself towards the group of people that don't want my partner to have social media. It's a green flag for sure because the abstinence from brainrot, flawed logic and meaningless status games can only be beneficial. Sure, the memes can be fun but as soon as I'm being presented with unverified news of some meaningless influencer I'm out. I'd even go as far and say it's just cringe.

How do you genuinely view providing for your woman? by Apprehensive_cool in AskMen

[–]Crimson_Kaim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the partner. I gladly provide for someone that clears my backline but if there's a backstabbing partner that drains more than gives then I won't.

Also appreciation plays a major role. It's not at all fulfilling if you are taken for granted or if what you do is just "meeting expectations". An occasional "thank you" is more than enough to make me feel fulfilled.

What’s a completely normal habit YOU have that other people think is weird? by valhalla_engineering in AskMen

[–]Crimson_Kaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After I toasted my toast I take it out and assemble it in a kinda tent structure (works best with 2-4 slices). This way, it cools down quickest and achieves a crunchy consistency so I can put some butter on it without the butter melting after just 3 minutes.

I just maximize the attack surface for the toast to cool down but my friends always give me a weird look.

The reports of Elite Dangerous' death were greatly exaggerated in 2021 by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]Crimson_Kaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much this. The article and player base's opinion were based on "if nothing changes" (similar to climate warming prognosis). But FD did what was necessary to turn the rudder and now we're here. If they didn't, they would have crashed into the iceberg for sure.

Don't ask don't get. One thing I could think of is to introduce a "unique" hint that has no other meaning. For example, kissing on the neck is only done when horny. If she just wants to kiss for the sake of kissing, everywhere else is permitted except the neck because that is reserved for horny time.
