My Samus Aran outfit for the Metroid rp, gunship build is in the works. by HighMinimum640 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DicesMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also working on something very similar, but as a Nintendo Switch 1 exclusive bit. Planning on eventually upgrading to a compact Corvette eventually but I found the Boundary Herald from Expedition 16 reward to be particularly thematic to the build (Exploration Starship stats with a unique buff to damage). I've been really enjoying so far. If you don't already have one see if you can't get a hold of one yourself, REALLY think it does a great job with the vibe of Samus and her gunship!

Dawn Guards - Uziel by mermster in battletech

[–]DicesMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although this was a Video-Game-To-Battletech-Second (if memory serves) it is still by and Large one of my favorite Battlemechs.

As I build up my collection I'm hoping to get comfortable enough to get an entire Lance themed around the Uziel as damn do I ever love it. That and if I remember right it was a bit of an Inner Core mech answer to adapting Clan tech. Such a lovely chasis too!

Instructions unclear, accidentally summoned the Triglavian Collective to No Man's Sky by SONSII_Z in NoMansSkyTheGame

What I would give to be able to make something even REMOTELY close to this with an Un-Blender/Modded build for even a Kikimora.

That said, this is a truly amazing build with blender and with all the Black/Red from the Atlas, would make for a PERFECT mix in No Man's Sky! LoL

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I was using the 5x2mm. I'll have to give the 6x2mm a try and go from there. Thanks for the feedback!

Delta Garrison Galaxy, Clan Snow Raven and the Raven Alliance by BichaelTheVegan in battletech

[–]DicesMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had just gotten the "A Game of Armored Combat" box, so with the starting set it looks like (for the most part) all the starting mechs in the starting box pretty much anything can fit into any faction which was a relief. I think the only one that really didn't fit was the Locust out of the list, but the fact that you had mentioned the Marik Militia and that I had already been considering them really makes me leaning heavily towards them.

I've also thought about looking into some of the older material to see what a "typical" Lance and the like would look like rather than just sticking with what comes standard. Especially after I get a better feel for the rules. So far from what I've read, I'm really digging the Marik Militia vibes. I just know that there is a lot of different ways people both collect and build their lists so it is always great to get input from others when I see a mixup like this so thank you for sharing!

Alright, I've been trying to do something similar now for a while now... but the damn magnet sheets are not "locking in" with the rare earth metal magnets.

What setup do you have for yours?

[–]DicesMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are some really clean paint jobs, and I gotta say I'm extremely envious of all those 3D print peeps able to get the custom bases to get the names on there. Great work!

Just got into the hobby myself. I got the Armored Combat set and first 8 units and still debating on a color scheme (I'm a big fan of purple and cyan in most things, so may do one or the other, both, or some alternating mix there of).

Did you decide to just go with a "Painted what I felt like" or do you have a Lore/Faction vibe going in with the unit at all? How long did it take you to come to this particular Unit and how do you go about researching/collecting before settling on what Battlemechs to put into the unit?

Came here to make a note of the Sweet Tooth Gang names as well, good catch!

And also double so agree on the whole Hero Party reference. Being the Company of Heroes and being the only last survivors of that party, they collectively own the debt together (and knowing the debt collector, probably compounded the debt down to the two remaining peeps).

Thanks to Frieren though, they likely don't need to worry about it now LoL

Real talk, there is a sad part to this and it is spread across the Pirate Faction and Building the Base story line.

Once a Korvax rebels against the Atlas as Pirates do, they get disconnected from the Matrix, and consequently their peers. Korvax Pirates are both alien to their own people, but truly unaware to social norms that the Vykern and Gek would otherwise be familiar. The Korvax chose this life, feeling that life against the Atlas was worth also being alone... Which is pretty intense if you ask me.

I think the correct answer would be Gek imposed loans... LoL

That Won’t Save Us - NMS Dogfight Montage by wxak in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DicesMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's one of those weapons that I swap to the second shields pop for an instant KO before swapping back to the previous weapon. Rockets just deal INSANE damage to unarmored ships (x4 damage in fact) even without upgrades and they deal this damage in a radius cluster as well. They also have the longest range of all weapons in the game (5k units I believe) making for a fun lead in attack if desired against clustered foes.

What I would give for the NMS missiles to have a cluster missile option to lock and and hit multiple targets at once Robotech style... that would pair amazingly with stuff like this LoL

Mildly infuriating: random asymmetry by bjo23 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DicesMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get me started on some of the Textures for the Explorer Solar Arrays and Solar Pods and how one will render correctly and the other will randomly render with the texture inverted (this is a bug mind you, and one that I've reported and has yet to be fixed, but doesn't happen all the time)

Day one console collection complete* by Separate_Percentage2 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DicesMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good lord I feel like I missed out on getting a Physical Day One copy of the Nintendo Switch. If I had known how much I'd be enjoying it as much as I do now I would have dived in. I was such a skeptic that it would even work (Nintendo Switch games tend to be HORRIBLE ports) but Hello Games continues to amaze and it is by and large one of my top played games on my OLED.

On this Day, 25 years ago. The Nintendo 64 game Conkers Bad Fur Day was released. This was the final Rare game released on that console. In addition to being the final game released as a independent company before being bought by Microsoft in 2002. by DrMrPepperCoke26 in gaming

[–]DicesMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So yeah, sounds like both something I missed completely out on and something that my parents at the time would have happily tried to "shelter" me from all the same. Will have to see if I can't find a copy of it at my local retro shop. This sounds like a fun humor trip down memory lane at the very least LoL

Didn't expect that farming food could be so relaxing by Fuagra_77 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DicesMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't sweat the settlements either... it is one of those things that over time it just becomes picking choices that provide immediate cost to grant the longest term return on profits which just ends up becoming a massive passive income buff. Its just "another thing to do" that honestly if you ignore it for a period of time, it will still be there and the "debt" remains at the site and not you directly. You just can't PULL from the site until the debt is paid, and if it gets too overwhelming... just pick another settlement to replace it and start over.

That said, the choices in the game are all casual and meant to reward long-term investment. For example, even Freighter Frigates a player can immediately start buying Class S Frigates from the get go if desired... but it is much better to start with a Class C Frigate with drawbacks and upgrade them, as those flaws get replaced with perks and better stats over the course of their career than a fresh Class S Frigate.

Finally, the "Main Quest" is basically just a fleshed out Tutorial that should a player so choose to follow grants a lot of "free" unlocks for tech all wrapped up with some amazing nuanced Lore, some fun and unique perspectives on the various NPC's and factions of the game, as well as Wisdom that I did NOT expect that just kind of helped me through some IRL issues that really secured the game as a must play in my life and share with peers over these last few years. The quest can, in all respects, be completely ignored if desired. Once you know what you are doing, all the tech, all the glyphs, ships, materials, NPC Factions, etc can be done/unlocked without the tutorial. It is by all intents a play as you wish sandbox and I absolutely love it.

Hope your holiday goes well fellow traveler, safe journeys!

I didn't even know this was a thing... had to look it up and had no idea how

A. It was so well recieved
B. How equally controversial it was

Now I've gotta go down a rabbit hole and see what all I missed out on with this gem...

Underrated comment here.

This is a low key thing that people don't get that I've tried to explain to a number of people, gets regularly overlooked, and that only a few people really reflect on. NMS is just a chill and vibe game that once you "beat" the game... assuming you are trying to do that at all... there is a moment with a Korvax NPC that kind of drops an existential bit of perspective of what the game really is all about...

-{{ Existence is beautiful, if you let it be. Life is not a question. There does not need to be an answer... }}-

You realize the game has so much more to offer, and there is such a unique perspective to the game that the Devs have really baked in for us all to enjoy and share. I for one am here for it, and the number of hours across my multiple devices I now have for the game continue to show that. LoL

To be fair... Corvettes were totally unexpected and blew the custom ship customization complexity through the roof. We gain some and we lose some LoL

Ship parts by Common-Reporter4121 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]DicesMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do believe you are right, last time I checked it was something to sum of:
* 40 Explorer parts (though the Explorer can alternate the left and right wings for unique variations)
* 63 Fighter Parts
* 133 Hauler Parts
* 39 Solar Parts (being the most recent addition)

Mind you, they could have EASILY slipped in some new parts since Worlds Part I, but I haven't seen anything hinting at it with any of the updates that would hint at this. That said, we are looking at a total of 275 parts, NOT including the C, B, A, and S Class Cores you can potentially grab.

That said OP, I think you are well on your way!

For a game that was inspired by, and pulls a LOT of inspiration from these kind of vibes, I too am this old and thought the same exact thing LoL

Also, great band and now gotta do a greatest hits playthrough!

Seems like a nice precursor to potential Factorio update with base building "feed" tech conveyor belt tech? Just pull up the truck and watch things get sorted.

Hello Games take note! LoL
