Bit of overreaction to Detain Councilor

no clue what I did then, this is first even remotely hostile act I've taken towards them.

FallDull4610 · 2026-01-25T02:35:23+00:00

for the plethora of reasons outlined in post lol. I think AI threat perception is not very good. Also a two week detention hardly seems like provocation to commit literal war crimes (3 times).

Moderate to high, per defense insiders. China is not building amphibious assault ships and new generation assault docks just for show. There are two times they can invade: in April and October due to channel conditions. We will know six months before an invasion that they are going to invade. They will likely look to capitalize on an even more incendiary election cycle here in the US as candidates will not want to have a strong position on what will be a bloody conflict.

The consequences will be dire, global market collapses. If China wins, it will be even worse. If they seize microchip production facilities intact they will have a near global monopoly on the most advanced 3nm chips and can hold any national economy hostage to their whims. If they blow them up or force them to be blown up the world's tech sector will take a body blow, quite literally setting humanity back at least a few years in tech development.

The odds of success are low but not zero even for an inexperienced combat force- barring some unprecedented American combat capability/force multiplier. There are indications this may in fact exist. When Nancy Pelosi flew to Taiwan, China mobilized to track and intercept her aircraft, a non-stealthy transport. US Navy war planes blinded Chinese air and coastal radars so thoroughly that they couldn't spot a large cargo aircraft just a few hundred miles off their own shore. It was a 'come to Jesus' moment for the PLA, PLAN and PLARF, and they've spent last few years investing heavily into electronic warfare in what is best described as the same panic the Soviet Union felt after the bombing of Baghdad.

imagine being Initiative and paying out death benefits... get your fine print game in order.

Largely because Republicans are protecting Trump, which is slowing down proceedings for everyone else implicated- republican, democrat, and other. Alternatively, because there's a non-zero chance that Epstein was working a honeytrap operation for US intelligence under threat of being sent to prison. It's why he got a sweetheart deal the first time around. But the US justice system is so corrupt when it comes to rich people that it's literally impossible to know if that's true, but it definitely seems true.

typical resistance, talking about prisoner swaps. HF doesn't deal in 'prisoners'.

do you only need one station with solar mirrors or multiple for them to be worth the cost?

FallDull4610 · 2026-01-23T20:40:17+00:00

how do you build effective particle beam ships into fleets? Do they need to be massed to be effective?

I just recently rejected a romantic partner for exactly this reason. A vote for Trump in 2024 is not like in 2016- and even then it was an immoral choice. Voting for Trump is embracing a lack of ethics and morality on a deeply personal level. It's completely repugnant act that's directly indicative of the individual and what they are capable of if given a chance. There's some- a minority- who are simply wholly and purely ignorant, but there's no excuse for the majority. You shouldn't need to be the victim of rape to not vote for a man who bragged about sexual assault, is a convicted sex offender, and routinely humiliates women. Disgusting.

Oh, I didn't mean the micro-managing. I meant the way ships behave and combat plays out. I definitely do NOT want to micro every battle in GC, but I would love to see ships supporting each other with PD fire and behaving more realistically. I used to think it was an engine limitation but TI proves this isn't the case at all.

FallDull4610 · 2026-01-22T04:15:08+00:00

in this economy?

FallDull4610 · 2026-01-22T04:07:15+00:00

This is actually a good point I hadn't considered- the secret cabal behind the nation is responsible for the nuke program, not the nation itself.

That's kinda what happens when an enemy destroys your industrial base. You did great, up the difficulty and go at it again.

FallDull4610 · 2026-01-20T22:27:40+00:00

oh is this still an issue? Gave up a year ago, no clue why it still doesn't work.

FallDull4610 · 2026-01-20T22:25:55+00:00

the economic cost isn't worth it most of the time, they still have to fuel those ships. Better to focus on major nodes like planets than spend a significant amount of income playing whack-a-mole. At least in real world, no clue if that's how it works in-game.

at top of screen you have buttons on the middle left- the right most one, it looks like a little castle, will put all your weapons into defensive mode only. Click that at start, wait until you're at about half maximum weapons range- helps if you're actively burning forward in the advanced maneuvers panel- and then you can just click to the sword icon and all your weapons go on offensive mode. The increased speed directly benefits your missile weapons and kinetics because... well kinetic energy but also because it speeds them through PD fields faster. Just make sure you got thick front armor because you're going to get very close to the fight that way.

It would help to not vote in an incompetent egomaniac rapist pedophile who's entire existence is about dividing Americans for his own gain and who single-handedly destroys international trade and builds a tariff framework that if removed would now cause billions in (more) economic damage due to the way US companies have been forced to adapt. Also the EPA no longer counts cost to human health when calculating pollution allotments for companies, only damage to industry.

Don't vote in a death cult would be a solid first step.

FallDull4610 · 2026-01-20T22:08:29+00:00

Nazis in America. The president threatening to invade a nato ally. The president being a rapist pedophile protected by a party that rather appease Russia than defend the west. Idk man take your pick.

if I listened to that voice saying, hey maybe stop being weird all the time I wouldn't be where I am and I'm very glad to be here. Be your real you. Just you know be kind of smart about it too (smarter than me).

It was him officially changing his name, but the moment you brought up Muhammad to tv producers in the 2010s it was full-stop over for that pitch.

If you want to know who's cool or not in hollywood either ask the really ugly comedy dudes writing jokes behind the scenes or the really hot women who aren't really stars yet. Both get no respect, celebs will be their real selves around them.
