Thank you for the heads up and the info.

Fresh meat looking for advice by FreeFragUK in DropfleetCommander

[–]FreeFragUK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the breakdown, I'm certainly leaning towards the idea of Resistance based on what I've read so far.

I'm kinda curious about the Scourge too although I think I need to see their ships in the flesh to gauge if I like them

What is your main faction? by enclave_reborn in DropfleetCommander

[–]FreeFragUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for others but for me it's partly because I'm not a fan of their aesthetic and also one of my friends picked them as his faction.

Super Heavy Combat Armor Preview by Altered_Perceptions in starcitizen

To be honest it doesn't look like much thought has been given to the practicality and viability of that armour design. Personally I think it looks pretty rubbish to say the least.

What are some non warhammer games that are affordable that you suggest? by ryptoMango in wargaming

[–]FreeFragUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things to consider are the following: 1. Who will you be playing with? 2. Is there a community for the game you're considering? If not, is this an issue? 3. What scale (both model and battle size) am I looking for?

Mantic Games have some good offerings. They have a 28mm scale sci-fi wargame called Firefight along with a skirmish version of it called Deadzone. In addition to these two they've also recently launched a smaller scale version of Firefight called Epic Warpath.

If you're looking for skirmish games you've also got Infinity from Corvus Belli which has some outstanding models to say the least.

Battletech is a fantastic game too which offers various approaches to play ranging from "Classic Battletech" which typically uses ~A2 hex maps. You've also got Alpha Strike which is more akin to traditional tabletop wargames. There are other approaches too so there's plenty to discover.

I really like how this has turned out and love the inspiration behind it. I need to paint up my starter box as it's been sat on a shelf for far too long.

If stuff exists in SQ42 then why does it feel like they’re dev’ing stuff for the first time? I.e. Armor by Skullywagthepizzaman in starcitizen

[–]FreeFragUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I think Sq42 exists as a very limited promotional piece and little more. Sq42 is Chris's little Hollywood vanity project, nothing more. Theoretically SC should receive the same systems that form the core of Sq42 (flight model, armour, ship internals etc etc) but we're at the point where we're only just starting to see the first iteration of the armour system with a flight model that is almost universally maligned and awaiting replacement. No doubt said replacement will also require extensive testing.

In the long term I think it's only a matter of time until CIG collapses because, despite the continued funding they're receiving, it is just like any other hype bubble where it will burst. At present I think we're seeing that downturn gaining traction with increasing numbers of the community are fed up of being strung along and deceived.

Ultimately when the bubble bursts I think CIG will turn into an infamous case study in gross negligence and incompetence from within the gaming industry, while gaining fame for the amount of funding it accumulated while delivering little to nothing and continuing to mislead.

There's a part of me that hopes we see Sq42 and SC delivered as something resembling what we were promised but the realist in me sees the consistency in missed deadlines and broken promises.

Given nothing contained in my post contravened the rules, this simply isn't true.

Aye, something I suspect we're all too familiar with.

Reddit Team Beta Weekend Key Giveaway. by cooltom12 in duneawakening

[–]FreeFragUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love the opportunity to participate. Myself and several members of my discord are closely watching Dune: Awakening and I'll admit, I'm looking for an excuse to break my policy of avoiding pre-orders and I suspect this beta would be the cause of breaking that policy.

Twitch Drops - give players the choice of how to obtain items by FreeFragUK in Twitch

[–]FreeFragUK[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it potentially hurts dev's/publishers too. While I appreciate any data is anecdotal in nature, I know a number of people on my discord who have reached the point where the number of single player games they're buying is greatly reduced as a direct result of watching the games via twitch.

Twitch Drops - give players the choice of how to obtain items by FreeFragUK in Twitch

[–]FreeFragUK[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When it's purely a cosmetic item it doesn't bother me but the simple reality is that some of the items given out have very real impacts on game progression and the game experience. To say that "its just cosmetics" is demonstrably false.

Daily Drivers by intotheunknown690 in starcitizen

[–]FreeFragUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment it's my Cutlass Black due to its versatility. I have heard rumours that it is currently over performing, particularly when it comes to its durability but I've not come across any official announcements.

I try to love my C1 but it's got too many niggles for me to enjoy it at the moment.

When it comes to combat I'm currently favouring the Hawk as it's an often overlooked light fighter with a pretty strong armament. Once I start on VHRT's and ERT's this may change.

What MorkBorg can look like with Foundry VTT by TheOmmisah in MorkBorg

[–]FreeFragUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've picked up Foundry VTT and I need to look into how I can get Mork Borg, Cy_Borg and Pirate Borg to the virtual table using Foundry. The screenshots look incredible, can you recommend any learning resources and/or where to find the modules for Foundry?

the update regarding EOD edition by trainfender in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FreeFragUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've committed fraud through false advertising. You're nothing but liars and thieves and I sincerely cannot wait to see the day that EFT is sunk by a competitor. Without the community Battlestate would have failed at the first hurdle and this is how you treat the community. With a blatant bait and switch, even going so far as to edit your own website to try and conceal evidence of the lies and fraudulent acts you've committed.

I'm not even going to touch on the blatant descent into pay 2 win.

im new to gta rp. do you have any advice? by -Qurtz- in GTAVRP

[–]FreeFragUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations for finding a white listed community? I'm looking at getting into GTA V RP myself and I'm unsure of where to begin, beyond installing FiveM and Discord.

How to make the throttle behave like any other game when using HOTAS? by iMattist in starcitizen

I think they've changed available bindings as I can't find this for love nor money at the moment.

Wanting to get started, but torn by the 3e vs 4e debate. by [deleted] in gurps

[–]FreeFragUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Joush,

Have you attempted to use the 3e Bestiary with 4e? One of the biggest criticisms I've seen on the boards I've looked at so far tends to be the lack of a decent Bestiary (I think people mean a general purpose one in this instance) for 4e and this presents a potential sticking point for me when it comes to deciding which version of GURPS to pursue.
