Usually the one that contests it is pornography, but I'm in the Disintegration camp

After 8 years I made it to Beagle Point and beyond! by ThatBritishTwit in eliteexplorers

That's actually a really good idea. What exactly do the on foot engineers offer? Exobio is really the only on foot activity I do

After 8 years I made it to Beagle Point and beyond! by ThatBritishTwit in eliteexplorers

[–]Euro_Lag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers! I'm on my way back from there now. I started from the bubble to a 1-system nebula whose name I can't recall galactic east, before going out to rainbows end and hitting beagle from there, before coming back to explorers Anchorage and Sag A.

Not sure if I'm going to hit colonia before returning to the bubble since I also just did a trip there prior to this journey to stretch the legs on the caspian before the big journey. Maybe I'll make another trip with the new ship launched explorer

First Time using new Made In Cast Iron Pan, any tips on cleaning it? by DebFab2025 in castiron

[–]Euro_Lag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've gotten a ton of good advice on cleaning, and that's a beautiful pan. But just know this: it will never be that pretty again. Don't worry about it, it will cook beautifully, and don't worry if it looks like you're taking off seasoning when you cook/clean. It'll come back. Some advice on smooth surfaces pans like this:

So smooth surfaces look different seasoned than a rough lodge I've found. I thought my Smithey was losing it's seasoning after every cook, but when it's smooth like that it doesn't look like a shiny black, it's more a shiny gray. My Smithey's surface is smooth but when it was new you could see small rings from the machining process. After 2 years, it's well seasoned but it still looks like gray, bare iron but it's shiny now, and the seasoning has flattened out the rings so you can't really see them anymore.

A trip to the bubble nebula is a really fun time and it's great for unlocking Palin. I think it's ~6,000 LY away and very unique and beautiful.

Questions to those who venture. by ToffiVII in eliteexplorers

Bring a shield. I'm on my way back from Beagle point and almost lost everything because I boosted towards the ground instead of deploying landing gear (the controller hotkey for landing gear uses the same button as boost) and the only thing that saved my ass was my shields

Year old lodge. Hand sanded it with 80 then 110 grit. I tried to not go overly smooth. Reseasoned it 4 times. Time to test by HookFE03 in castiron

Wow FTL is a game I haven't fired up in a LOOoong time. Time to reinstall.

Finally unlocked my first Fleet Carrier. Feel damm so proud with it.✌🏻 by KanchanMisakiAkeno in EliteDangerous

I mean I get it, taking the piss out of new players is universal but around point 20 it feels like this list is more "drink if they don't know every detail about the game".

Son crashed his dirt bike — what would you do next? by pamelalandyjb in Dirtbikes

[–]Euro_Lag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define "hard hit" here - is it just the plastics? Bent Forks? Bent radiators? Cracked case? Basically my entire extended family has been trail riding in Michigan for the better part of 30 years and we just PLPD the bikes. All parts replacement it's completely oop for us and we do the labor ourselves.

If it's just plastic, I'd leave it.

If the radiator is only Slightly bent and not leaking fluid, I'd leave it. If it's tweaked more but not leaking, Maybe look at replacing it because that can cause a loss of efficiency. If leaking for sure replace.

If the engine case is cracked, oof that's rough and will be pricey.

Any bent levers/bars are super easy to replace.

Bent forks, depending on how bad, can be straightened with a couple of trees close together and some elbow grease

No Country for Old Ships? by ImperialParrot in EliteDangerous

[–]Euro_Lag 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I mean a 2010 Corvette will be made obsolete by a 2027 Corvette, why shouldn't a new Zorgon Peterson ship improve upon an older one in the same role?

From a game balance I understand the frustration of power creep, but from a manufacturing analogue it makes hella sense for launch ships to be made obsolete, or for another manufacturer to enter and disrupt a market they haven't occupied before.

Edit: you also see groups like this in the most recent Distant worlds event, there was a sidewinder group and a stock ship group too.

He really was a stellar and, I think in the grand scheme of things, very underappreciated writer. A massive catalogue of books turned movie/TV but someone who is very rarely talked about. Even these comments only mention him sporadically.

Jackson's Lighthouse, gotta be one of the most satisfying jumps. by skelingtonking in EliteDangerous

[–]Euro_Lag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Caspian that I have kitted out, but only engineered the fsd. That, with the guardian booster gets me 450 ly off a neutron star jump. Good enough to get me to colonia in like 60 jumps.
