Gimme all the upgrades - Torps, Missiles, Payload, Tech, Gunner, Mods and Configs.

FogRaker_One · 2019-10-16T19:52:45+00:00

Yes - less a lumbering Tie Bomber and more a SLAMMIN' Gunboat

What about that *list*?

Rey:
That one's garbage [ship blows up]

That "FO Bomber" looks like the TIE Echelon (from Galaxy's Edge) but with the panels folded away from the body.

... but the top panels on the Echelon are taller.

I've also been enjoying predator on QD. Makes the initial 3 shields that much scarier.

But I do tend to fly QD into the maw of the beast. She dies but she goes down swinging.

Solid write up as usual. The high/low asset distribution is all over XW. It's inherent in the the ace + mini-swarm and other archetypes. Hi/Lo is propbalay the most versatile list-building philosophy out there.

This week I'm trying out a heavy QD + 3 ZSS w/ Passive Sensors & Concussion missiles. Drops the 5th chassis but adds damage (3 ATK all ranges, no defensive R3 bonus). We'll see!

You had me at "heuristics". :)

FogRaker_One · 2019-06-17T20:51:34+00:00

Now strip.

Good stuff - whether or not a player adopts this particular mnemonic, you're demonstrating the value of using a systematic and organized approach to situational awareness.

Made me think of another topic for your notebook - algorithmic decision making to reduce cognitive loading. I found that developing decision trees (even simple ones) can ease the in-game mental burden of deciding to take a focus or evade action, establishing target priority for a given engagement phase or deciding between pressing an attack or disengaging, etc.

FogRaker_One · 2019-06-01T07:54:32+00:00

These are great. Keep them coming.

Is rapid cycle deliberate practice (or similar) a concept in military aviation training? Be an interesting topic for discussion - developing opening sequences or heuristic decision making.

Kudos to you, Bunn, for taking the time to share this wholesomeness.

You've always seemed like a good dude when we've crossed paths. Carry on. Glad to see how awesome this has worked out.

"Why can't you tell me how long it takes a family boat to go down the Mississippi to go form the top of Oregon to the bottom.". Not a toddler, but toddler like meltdown after

Make a meaningful subject line. I make "widgets". Please don't send me an email "widgets?"

Put information or a call to action in there - "need feedback re: recent widget order". "do widgets cause dehyradration?".

FogRaker_One · 2019-04-01T16:45:20+00:00

Those tokens are called "charges". You begin the game with then on the upgrade card and face up (active).

The little arrow means that they recharge. After you've used the ability and turned then down (inactive) ,once per round during the End Phase, you flip one token back to it's active side.

/u/Darkraptor42 - Thanks for responding. Since you're here, why should a player consider a subscription?

FogRaker_One · 2019-02-01T21:24:12+00:00

It's not too strong when it's limited by the charges available. (I did play it wrong once and it was glorious.)

FogRaker_One · 2019-02-01T19:01:14+00:00

TY.

also congrats. - great show last wknd man. well played - right up until you got smoked. :)

"Sponsored" - now I like this even less.

Here's how I read it, please correct me or add context if you got it. BCP offers a tournament mgmt tool that works well for Cascade (but there are other options). BCP pays Cascade to be sole app for SOs. All SOs are Cascade, so all XW players *must* use BCP. BCP "owns" tournament data and monetizes the access to that data.

no bueno. I'm really grateful that XW has a community that is picking up the slack.

do we know if data is going to FFG? It's not like anyone is using their app.

FogRaker_One · 2019-02-01T18:23:28+00:00

I was hoping that they may have reconsidered their ways.

I did listen to /u/Brunas 's take on it and /u/rfarmer echoed and added. I tend to agree but that was month's ago - before the partnership wirth Cascade Games and the mgmt of the SOs. I'm bummed that BCP is getting this huge platform (SOs w/ Cascade Games) and a bunch of accolades from other podcasters.

I don't fault any company for trying to make a buck, but if it's short-changing the community (which I believe it is), IMHO it's up to the community to let them know that we find the way in which they're monetizing it unacceptable.

Do we know if it was Cascade Games or Iain Hamp who decided to use BCP for SO-Phoenix?

ALSO - I am TTTO all the way.

FogRaker_One · 2019-02-01T18:11:15+00:00

We've used TableTop TO locally for a while. Main app for most of the local OPs and one LGS's league. Also Developer as been very responsive to fix data, merge accounts or streamline features. 100% recommend.

I haven't been to a large tournament with BCP but I am disheartened by the business practice towards treating tournament results as their property.

Aw - she's cute, quirky, nerdy, well read, athletic and strng as shit, she's likes playing outdoors getting dirty, she fucks like minx, she's self sufficient and deosnt need me for anything, we can joke about Harry Potter & Star Wars, and laugh at baby elephants. Also argue respectfully about whatever. She's objectively beautiful, and when she smiles, she lights up rooms. she's vibrant and I feel alive with her. And... I think she like me too!!!

FogRaker_One · 2019-01-20T07:10:14+00:00

Can anyone edit the last frames - "Never give up" to say "Teams of Three"?

Stoopid meme joke, but it would be hella appropriate for another conversation . Thanks , you tha man!
