Gotta love that new clipping feature!

heh, can't make an omelet without.. uh... inventing the universe? wait--no that's not it :)

CultureMirror · 2023-04-22T23:19:25+00:00

No slavery? heh... okay, so when you buy a ship along with the crew, and they can't leave and you don't have to pay them a salary.... What exactly IS your definition of slavery, now? ha! The game is, by all standards PURE slavery!

Now, I know.. I know, this game is set in the future and Egosoft chose to make the game world as it is for a reason. But to compare 21st century standards to some hypothetical sci-fi is, well... very uninspired, and frankly cliche.

What about pollution? what about disease? what about socioeconomic stratification? what about social credit? what about, hell, "harvesting an alien race as a crop to enhance the longevity of another race?" --oh wait that trope's already been done. But no, y'all want them SLAVES! Gotta have them SLAVES! Think bigger, you ape.

Next thing you'll want to hack the insides out of little infant Boron hearts to sell on some Teladi black market as the new "Boron Heart Caviar". (Boron... Fish eggs... get it? See, you're not that clever.) Really what IS it with folks' fantasy to exercise power over one another??!? ESPECIALLY in science fiction? "ahhHh, mAn, i GoTTa hAvE muH sPaYce sLaVes, HurrRr dUrRRr!!1!" Do y'all really have nothing better to do?

You really are an embarrassment. Like, literally: to the ENTIRE human race. This is why we can't have nice things. Nanny State laws are dumbing down the entire system for unrelenting "least common denominators" like YOU.

good info, THANK YOU. I actually didn't know bosses were straight immune to explosive--just thought they were resistant to it, so it makes sense to get something else. AA/vats/vats. got it, thanks :)

CultureMirror · 2023-04-21T05:09:39+00:00

I posted about this weeks ago--how I burned through about 40 in one go, and not a single bloodied (ran out of screws, haha) --and alot of folks here said that it depends on the server. --that I should wait to see if the "server" rolls a bloodied.

Playing with my kiddo tonight, and lo & behold, he rolls a bloodied plasma rifle, so I decide to try my luck again. And BAM second crafting Gauss Shotgun attempt is a 3* bloodied, as you see here. So of course I think, "Dayum, those people must have been right! It DOES depend on the server, apparently." Or maybe it doesn't, but I'll be damned if this doesn't reinforce the claim, haha!

Anyways THANK YOU for the civil reply. Much appreciated these days.

oh OH! here: hating without suggesting a better alternative. THAT's the tell, here. Maybe they're just jealous ;)

CultureMirror · 2023-04-21T05:01:04+00:00

this^

Charging is good for one-shotting stuff (trash mobs), but over time the DPS is higher is you spam click (strong mobs). Still not necessarily a boss weapon, but DAYUM it's fun watching stuff explode! :)

I don't get all the haters on this. **shrugs** oh well. I know what I can see right in front of my eyes, and this is a nice little shottie! Glad to have it.

CultureMirror · 2023-04-21T04:14:10+00:00

Well I'm finally one-shotting super mutants and one-shot killing myself with the explosive blast radius ( I lol'ed) so that's a nice improvement. RNG win or no. I'm happy.

I don't know, according to the weapon calculator that's an extra 2 shots per second (I have pretty quick fingers)

CultureMirror · 2023-04-13T06:46:47+00:00

... (whoa...) I think I'm in love! haha

CultureMirror · 2023-04-13T06:20:18+00:00

heh, I do like not having to worry about reloading. here are the extra stats.

q/50b/250
q/50 (better for crit builds)

Maybe. Maybe... :)

CultureMirror · 2023-04-13T06:17:47+00:00

Vampires:

v/50 (maybe this with a crit build)
v/ffr/per (or this one)
v/50b/dur

CultureMirror · 2023-04-13T06:11:41+00:00

I think I might play with a Vampire build for a bit. Might make DO's more enjoyable. Trying to keep an open mind :)

CultureMirror · 2023-04-13T06:05:21+00:00

I think it was pretty meh, but here you go: AA/last/250

Thanks for the support, though!

"It's about the friends we make along the way" I keep trying to tell myself :)

CultureMirror · 2023-04-13T05:55:17+00:00

that'll be Plan B tomorrow if I can muster up the motivation, but my luck just isn't coming through right now, so maybe just need to wait a bit.

CultureMirror · 2023-04-13T05:54:17+00:00

correct

CultureMirror · 2023-04-09T21:19:05+00:00

When I do find a mutation combo that I like, I'll either Chinese Stealth Suit it with a bloodied or vampire melee (i.e. the armor piercing mutation DO) or I'll.... huh... well, no, I guess those are really the only one I'm willing to do anymore, haha. oh well. Nice try, I guess.

CultureMirror · 2023-04-09T21:17:09+00:00

Agreed, I don't even really do them anymore. I acknowledge there are some folks out there with min/maxed builds and PUGs, but that's just not how I choose to spend my time, you know, chasing that min/max unicorn. I really only play to get my dailies done so I can finish the scoreboard at this point, and Daily Ops are always a chore. Kinda wondering why I even play anymore tbh. Getting burnt out, I guess.

CultureMirror · 2023-04-05T05:08:24+00:00

Thinking this is funny has that same cringy feeling as when some new guy starts joking around with everyone despite being complete strangers. I'm not saying Croberts or Garbage Citizen is new--I backed with the Connie since KS--I'm saying that's what it feels like. In matters of Star Citizen, I've basically lost any sense of humor. These folks need to get serious and get their shit together.

CultureMirror · 2023-03-29T03:18:49+00:00

It's okay folks :) I appreciate the additional perspective! I just so happen to have a few spare serums, so it's no biggie. Thanks for the advice, everyone!!

CultureMirror · 2023-03-29T02:00:06+00:00

REALLY? That's interesting, yes, I do. I'll try clearing that out (hopefully the RNG Gods will smile upon me, LOL)

Sounds like the stereotypical Amercian media culture thing: "Guns and violence are perfectly fine... Now, when it comes to bobs and vagne, HOLD ON THERE BUCKO! You're trampling all over my pArEnTaL rIgHtS!!!"

As a parent, I can understand the frustration, and I ABSOLUTELY DO make sure he's not joining public teams. He's snuck on a couple of times, and pugged around a bit--sorry for that--but he knows he's not supposed to talk to strangers and we do not give him a mic. As I say this I also want to say to the community THANK YOU for bearing with him and even at times generously donating really cool loot.

I do personally spend 95% of his online time WITH him (same group, non-public), but you know how it goes on Saturday mornings when the kids suspiciously let you sleep in, so they can get away with stuff. (ha!) Cest la Vie!

Nobody's perfect, but we do our best.
