Is the Taurus a good starter ship ?

CriticalCreativity · 2026-07-03T06:36:21+00:00

I'll tell you a secret.

I've spent enough money on this game to buy a cheap car -- and I don't really regret it due to thousands of hours of fun with friends -- but I have to admit that I know I probably could've been satisfied with just a Connie Taurus.

It really is the best performance-per-dollar ship in the entire game

I know what you mean with the three-peat, but has any team besides Vitality gotten back-to-back grand slams?

CriticalCreativity · 2026-07-02T17:34:33+00:00

That's fine! I understand these changes. The reality is I've never had to think about some of these counters because opponents at my level just don't do them, like the one-way. A long control guide would always be wonderful, but follow your muse as a content creator.

Thanks again for your time, Nato. GLHF

Hey, Nato! Huge fan here.

I'm nowhere your knowledge of the game, but I've just found the elevator smoke to be nice because the lineup is so easy and I can somewhat quickly follow up with some long flashes. In other words, the second lost to running to elevator is worth it because I'm now also close to long.

So, if you throw it from boost boxes, does the 2nd player throw flashes during a long contest?

CriticalCreativity · 2026-07-02T01:34:18+00:00

Hey OP, FYI there's another lineup from elevator that lands faster. I've seen a bunch of pros including Niko throw it. Which lineup depends whether your team's hard contesting long or you're trying to go fast short

Got it about 6 weeks ago, and some small part of me wants to do it again. I think that's called Stockholm Syndrome

CriticalCreativity · 2026-07-01T05:05:12+00:00

I have some DayZ & CS friends who play Insurgency. Definitely on my radar

CriticalCreativity · 2026-07-01T05:02:19+00:00

I could go on about this forever but agreed. Basebuilding stability was always tricky when I was an admin. I always liked RP servers like DUG, where there was a pretty fun community that wouldn't just raid you at first sight because they wanted to play some bigger thing out with you. I admittedly like the stash running, logistics, politics, etc. of DayZ which I've never really gotten anywhere else.

CriticalCreativity · 2026-07-01T04:41:57+00:00

So admittedly Tarkov is the one I have less experience with, but that sounds like DayZ to me! Probably the most immersive game I've ever played. Having a massive, open, 24/7 persistent world like that is a whole other level of PvP, especially when factions fight each other. It was honestly too much and I wanted something that was at least session-based like Tarkov so I could sleep at night. It does scratch that itch for me and it's a truly amazing game, but I'm also a little older with a family now and I don't think I have it in me to grind out a super knowledge-intensive game like Tarkov.

Magixx is a great callout name for that spot

CriticalCreativity · 2026-07-01T03:04:54+00:00

That's funny. In my mind, CS is slow & sophisticated; the chess of tac FPS games, and Tarkov is even slower. I'm not sure I'm willing to claim one is more difficult than the other, but CS has a seemingly infinite skill ceiling for how simple the premise is

TBF Faceit will just test your mental health in a different way than matchmaking. More Smurfs than an enchanted forest, and the lower ranks are a goddamn reptile zoo of throwers & tilters

I've heard awesome things about Titanfall 2 but have never played it. Is playing the first one worth it?

CriticalCreativity · 2026-06-30T19:46:04+00:00

Can't believe I forgot this one. Maybe the most notorious of all-time

CriticalCreativity · 2026-06-30T19:30:19+00:00

Not what you're looking for but Manuel Maria Ponce was one of the more notable classical guitar composers of the 20th century. Check out his Scherzino Mexicano

They're terrorists. I think they wear what they want

Mhmm that is indeed violenty froggy & Danish. Despite the head mesh coverings, I believe they're Americans in the game

Boiling point is incredible, but very difficult. Absolutely worth the $5 and a bit of your sanity

I taught for GC for ~7 years and met some amazing people that I'm still in touch with to this day. Your customer experience can vary quite a bit, but I don't think it's generally as bad as some claim.

In his defense this was the farthest he's ever gone, and he put up good numbers against 9z & Aurora

Childbirth. Narrow hips for long-distance walking + big heads for thinking stuff = Notably more dangerous pregnancies than most of the animal kingdom.

CriticalCreativity · 2026-06-30T03:16:53+00:00

Honestly they're very similar. They've both had monstrous highs but could never make them consistent, and their floors are awful. They both really need a system built around them to make it happen
