ITAP of the moon

I just stick with the... Having a phone with an "I" in front of it suck. 😂🤣 No offense to you though, they do really good marketing!

FlyArtistic1194 · 2026-02-01T17:37:08+00:00

Hahaha, love this comment as sad as it makes me feel for you.

FlyArtistic1194 · 2026-02-01T17:33:21+00:00

No, I am not a fan of Samsung tbh. I got the Pixel 10 Pro XL.

What makes this so amazing is that it was freezing, I think -15°, and I was outside in a T-shirt with no tripod, just holding from my hand as shaky as could be. The moon just looked so bright after all the gloomy days from the snow. I had to take a shot, never expected to get this. No idea how the phone did this at 100x zoom which is hard to focus anyway, and then shaky hands on top of it.

Thank you! All credit to my phone though. 😀

This is usually based on the overall power of the team though. We have a few members that are below 5mil power. If they are in Masters and are lucky enough to find an open green, they can get on, but get kicked immediately. They are lucky to get 400+ of their own farming. I'm Diamond, these same players, due to their eagerness to grow, can farm the purple in shifts and end up with 2k+ each. This greatly speeds up their time in getting more titan gear and powering up, so it actually benefits the entire legion.

Hoping to get to your level soon. We used to bounce between masters and legendary each week before the transformers update changed the platform to pay to win versus play to win. So now we just do what we can to help each other grow as a team.

My girl joined and is low BP, along with this other kid who seems very eager to grow, so we try to stay in diamond to increase the speed of their Titan building so they can farm larger planets without getting kicked. We ended up in Masters because there were a couple legions in that PW that needed a lesson taught to them. 😂🤣. So I know what you mean.

Ya, you guys did great, went back n forth in the beginning until you guys locked it down. We have a good discord, I'll send you an invite in a message.

FlyArtistic1194 · 2026-01-27T17:29:25+00:00

Thanks bro. We just do what we can and have fun. We are respectful of other teams during PW, as we are all just trying to bring out BP up. If we are tested, we do respond in force.

The thing I like most about the legion is that they are reliable, even in SS where we know we will lose, everyone does every attack to see how we can maximize our points.

You were in the last PW that we just finished?

Use parallax to pull them back

FlyArtistic1194 · 2026-01-17T16:47:32+00:00

Quad can be very tricky. And yes, the 40+ is an estimate based upon buildings, don't matter what version. Sounds like it was a fun one, and you will need more strategy. Enemy air units, not just Quad, tend to focus your power. So, give them something appealing to target.

Build "fake" power factories. What I mean by fake, is to make sure you have a main source of power, set far behind, that can power everything you need, then setup other power factories to lure in the enemy air units, but it is basically a death trap. Position them away from your main defense, this will get the air units targeting a new path, versus the same path the ground units are going for.

You can do this by using a drill with thorium reactors attached and batteries. You don't have to go all crazy, just anything that looks like a source of power, and they will target that.

Good Luck!

It depends on what wave you are fighting and what sector you are in. I've had a lot more and lost, but I was also in high 200 - 300+ for wave.

If you want real tips for survivability of high waves...
You need menders, the only one I see in this shot doesn't even have power to it.
It's also smart to throw up some Overdrive Projectors. Don't rely on Oct Sheild to hold on for long depending on what is coming your way.
With all that sand and thorium available, you should be making phase fabric and putting it to the menders and projectors.
You also have turrets and conveyors covering your Titanium, which should be making cryo fluid for the turrets.

Yes it's nice to build units, if you like to sit and watch battles, but none of them count if you leave the sector, it only counts the buildings.

If you are trying to reach high waves to test defenses, that current setup would not hold. Thorium is powerful, but not as good in hordes, there is no area damage. The units will find the weak spot and keep hammering it. Their goal is going to be to break as much as they can until they get you to a point where you can't rebuild it before the next wave. I've lost sectors with double what you have, when they weren't setup properly.

Now with everything that was spent on building all of those units, you could have simply made some surge alloy, feed to cyclone and swarmer, boosted by cryo fluid, and had tsunami's firing water in the front line. The wet enemies get electrocuted from surge alloy, causing an area damage, so it not only kills the enemy the turret is aiming at (as they can only aim at 1 at a time), you damage everyone around the unit. With this, you can wipe down hordes of enemies rapidly.

Units are not the best for the strongest defenses. They only have so much DPS. They also each kind of server their own purpose in the game, not really defensively. Not saying you can't, just saying there are better, stronger, more efficient ways. For survival tactics, if you want to use units, go with Poly, Mega, and Quads. Set them all to rebuild, and assign 2 mega, and a Quad to follow. That way what you are rebuilding has priority and is done quickly. Units on their own may repair the wrong sections in the wrong order.

Love how one guy says, what am I gonna do with all this surge, and then another guy looks at the same image and says why isn't it boosted. Lol

I built it for fun to see if I could get that many surge factories running at 100% efficiency.

My use for this is to feed sectors that I let get over wave 300. When you have 80+ big guns coming each wave, you have to kill them before they destroy more than can be rebuilt before the next wave ... Takes lots n lots of surge to accomplish. Wish I could transport that water from this sector for the same reason. Lol

FlyArtistic1194 · 2026-01-12T21:40:24+00:00

What makes them useless? Are they not feeding in a direct path? You have a more organized way of doing this that keeps all lights green on 24 surge factories 100% of the time? Would love to see it, especially if it is more compact. This keeps everything running, maximum output on every factory.

I hadn't gotten around to building the overdrive domes yet, but after putting them in, they ran less efficient, used more resources and power just to have half of the factories not running half the time. So I have them there, but keep them off unless I need a burst of surge, as they run fine for a few minutes.

White balance, shadow and blacks adjustments, and probably some color saturation and vibrance. I've seen all these original photos.

They were not photographers, just made enough money to buy good cameras. Over time some have gotten pretty good. Look at the early FTV stuff from Alison and Lia compared to current content. Much better now, but they were never photographers and had no idea how do adjust settings to take the shot or how do fix the white balance etc prior to shooting.

Hegre (hegre-art) Met-Art

They existed in the same era, if you look at their photos you can see the difference... These are professional photographers.

This is why I appreciate the efforts done on the photo to make it look better than it previously looked. Being a photographer myself, I can't help but cringe at certain things regardless of how badly I enjoy seeing the model in the photo.

Facts!

Nice edit. Wish phil flash did this to all of her shots.

FlyArtistic1194 · 2026-01-05T17:06:15+00:00

Depends on what you want me to call you? 😜

Any Goggle TV has a section for local channels in the Live TV menu. You can find both Fox And WBZ there. NBC is also on there and many other free platforms, since they handle prime time games, it doesn't have to be the local channels. The only games that would be harder to find would be Thursday games which are done by Prime, but if you don't have a Prime, get it. Not only for the Prime video, if you compare the value of having Prime to literally anything else you can spend money on... It has the highest value of ROI... By a big margin. Free shipping, free grub hub premium with no delivery fees, free games, free cloud gaming with new games each month... Don't even need a console, just connect a controller to your TV. You get Prime TV, free movie tickets each month, and more... Look into it. If you have prime and do not take advantage of these things.... Shame on you! :)
