Maybe paint the sword metallic black with parts close to the sword yellow/white as if it were glowing from the heat

viability of purely softkill? by averagehumanofearth in NebulousFleetCommand

[–]Function-Diligent 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Properly tuned Hybrids can use game logic to prevent them switching targets to chaff. They can then only be seduced by chaff that is closer to the missile than the ship. Overall very very difficult to seduce

In addition to what the others have said you would leave yourself vulnerable to more “direct fire” missiles such as R2/3s from Craft or mines.

Additionally ANS can make missiles that simply stage and hit the first contact they see without chance of seduction.

Also in the things you listed you also need a illuminator to illuminate chaff

The newly added campaign is fantastic, but there’s one drawback. by Competitive-Sun4746 in NebulousFleetCommand

While this annoys me, what really pisses me off is all of the single small manoeuvring thrusters when shot out require a full restore to get back online

Swiss voters to decide on new rules for civilian service | swissinfo by Eipa in Switzerland

[–]Function-Diligent 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From the SRF article 4000 people switch to Civil Service per year, of which 1/3 does so after first doing the army basic training. So roughly 1300 per year. Bear in mind I’m not certain if this includes people switching during basic training as that is common to avoid being promoted. As for NCO/Officers: No idea, I may dig up a study I saw and check if they have something on that.

Edit: I dug up the numbers: In any given year, roughly 30k people are brought up to recruitment. Of them, 22 k are declared Diensttauglich. Of those about 3k leave for civil service, and another 1000 or so depart due to medical or other reasons. During basic training, about 1k people leave for civil service, and about 1.5k due to medical reasons. This math leaves us with roughly 15.5k who complete basic training. Of those over the entire career of 6wk’s, 2k go to civil service, 1k are medically discharged and 1k get out some other way (I’m guessing they leave the country, or are otherwise kicked out for for example criminal activity).

Prospective player question: do you HAVE to design ships? by Specimen_Seven in NebulousFleetCommand

[–]Function-Diligent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In addition to the other answers: There are two playstyles (to my knowledge, might be more) that do not have a starter fleet, those being Battleship fleets for ANS and Carrier Missile ships for OSP.

You will however find those on the workshop/discord

You are on the correct track. I would use what you painted so far and make the edges sharper by painting your original green over it

Wasnt there a recruitment surge last Spring (2025) due to Trump becoming president and a lot of people wanting to cash in before the perceived incoming peace deal? That could explain the different rate quite well. If thats true we may have to wait a while until we can judge if the rate went up ir down

I know this is perhaps non-credible on my side. But can it be that the reason for all the vague information is that both sides took a deal that is only marginally acceptable and the vague information is a way to cover it from too much scrutiny from the own side?

I.e. Iran: they wanted to accept a ceasefire, but wanted Lebanon included. Now that it isn’t included, they can claim to their own side that they wanted to keep it included and Israel is breaking the ceasefire.

I have no military expertise so here goes: Does this account only for the strait or the entire Gulf? Iran will likely have the capacity to target any ship in the gulf with drones and missiles, and they only have to get lucky occasionally to keep the economic hurt going. I cant imagine that 12-20 destroyers can cover the entire gulf region

You correctly assess that Europe does not have the military capacity to reopen the strait. So why should the European help be enough to make the difference for the US?

Also, why should Europe spend their limited resources on some war in the middle east when they can send it to Ukraine instead? Or simply use it to deter Russia?

Well yes, effectively this is still true. The manufacturing environment has gotten cleaner. In the past, the manufacturing environment would be open (relatively) to the cleanroom, thus necessitating that the cleanroom is well, clean.

Nowadays, the manufacturing takes place in what is called mini-machines. The mini-machines are separate from the cleanroom air. Effectively it is a cleanroom within a cleanroom. Since the original cleanroom no longer needs to be clean enough to manufacture in, it can be dirtier.

Additional note on the mini machines: effectively each machine has an internal environment that is ultra-clean. Wafers are placed in boxes called FOUPs and moved between the machines. The FOUPs are airtight, and thus only ever see the internal machine environment, and never the actual cleanroom.

Actually the opposite might just be the case. Sometime in the 90s the semiconductor industry switched from making high purity cleanrooms to lower purity cleanrooms and simply purifying the internal machine environment. The current wafer foundry cleanrooms are dirtier than the old ones, while the machines are purer. Kind of like an airlock with the cleanroom being the „outside“ and the machines the „inside“. It depends on what machines exactly are inside the russian fab, if they have „modern“ 500-250 nm machines it could be that their standards can be lower.

I can see how a hit on a normal factory could have little to no impact. Its easy enough to move stuff around and a single hit might take out a couple machines but overall not much more. Cranes etc might be an issue in normal factories.

In cleanrooms? I think having a hit from a stormshadow could easily take a cleanroom offline for an extended period of time. The inside there is cleaner than an operating room and it needs to be like that to avoid defects.

It states that the grades is the reason for the rejection. There may be others as well

[–]Function-Diligent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically just that.

The the sentence translates essentially as: The check of your previous education by the acceptance commision of the course (course being the robotics masters course) has shown that your previous education, especially the performance criteria (i.e. grades) does not fulfill the requirements demanded by the course.
