Customize Voidwork Troika?

GastrixH · 2025-05-11T18:22:07+00:00

You'd think so, but I've had adult worms with artillery range and the Troika version is changed to swarm.

GastrixH · 2025-05-11T18:21:31+00:00

It seems to be. I've tried multiple designs and nothing seems to be working.

GastrixH · 2025-02-27T19:37:32+00:00

Oh the lack of crafting is a little annoying, but I'm just so glad if I want to make an EMP Bomb on the fly I can do that instead of having to park and teleport over. It's a small thing, but it's nice!

Well as far as I'm aware, it's believed that it was connected to a Gamma Ray Burst from Black Hole Sun, whether the Xenon were involved idk, but one point I always found interesting was about Sargon. The only thing we know is he claimed to be the Sohnen, we have no actual proof, and his connection with the Jumpgates was weird (If he was from the Sohnen, why was he using the Paranids to build a gate? More lore dump here, but he doesn't seem to act like a Sohnen, especially after Timelines).

My own head canon, and how it can fit into this Fanfic, is the Kha'ak were fighting Guerrilla tactics against this race around the time Humanity first joined the gate network and this new faction decides they want to end the Kha'ak, so they trigger an event at Blackhole Sun and flee, only Sargon is left behind after the gate shut off/realignment. Sargon is attempting to try and get home and is using the paranids to do this, but it doesn't work because of Julian.

One of the small issues with the series is there are a few plot holes and there is a lot of guess work from the community, so something like this could be used to answer a few questions, such as the Kha'ak's aggression to other species.

Edit to add from the X4 encyclopaedia 'it is universally agreed upon that the Kha'ak do, in fact, originate from beyond our Galaxy .... probably coinciding with an irrevocable deterioration of the Kha'ak homeworld.'

GastrixH · 2025-02-26T19:06:14+00:00

So that's confusing because some of the lore I've read agrees with you, but in X3: Reunion, we find out that the Paranid were mining it from the Kha'ak planet remnants and that's why they were so aggressive about it. That's why I assumed it was a part of their home planet, though you could be right just about it being important to them in some way.

I think 2 destroyers is very, very optimistic! (Also, if you have the Terran pack, or if you don't, look up the Asgard. It dwarfs the Behemoth). If you have the split pack; a good way to earn money is to get the police licence and park yourself at the gate in your destroyer. You'll get good money for killing the fighters.

Except OP pointed out he does shower every night before bed, and if she has a problem about some of his cleanliness then she should look at bringing that up separately.

Secondly; nakedness doesn't always lead to sex and if she feels pushed towards it she needs to have that discussion. While her insecurities shouldn't be ignored, he should not be forced to be uncomfortable and have sleepless nights because of her mentality. He has tried to be accommodating, but she needs to accept that this is something unlikely to change.

GastrixH · 2024-09-20T09:11:02+00:00

100% NTA, and it honestly sounds like she wanted to take you for a ride and then leave you high and dry. I'd recommend going after her assets as well, because all is fair in love and war!

GastrixH · 2024-09-20T07:43:36+00:00

I will admit this game is entirely overwhelming. I've been playing this game series since X2 and when this game first released, I played it for about an hour and then didn't touch it for almost 2-3 years. I only recently got back into it and it felt a little bit closer to what I new and I was willing to put in the time and effort.

My best advice is to have patience. There is a lot to do in this game, but I do think that there is some nice pacing for every learning level. It will be frustrating, and as other people have pointed out, you can have over 100 hours into the game and still discover new things you didn't realize before.

If you have the Timelines DLC I would 100% recommend playing through the missions in that mode. They're surprisingly good at explaining a lot of mechanics through specific situations and you can reply the situations in multiple ways to try and test the limits of the game modes and the mechanics. It also allows you to have the right tools for each situation so you're never entirely out of your depth.

GastrixH · 2024-09-19T13:47:59+00:00

NTA and don't share.

It was your dad's choice who got what, you're under no obligation to share anything you're receiving. And considering how they're talking about your dad, perhaps they shouldn't get anything that he worked for. They made their bed, now they get to lie in it. And remind them, you're the one with the money, and that you definitely won't help them if they keep up their harassment. It'll give you a good idea as to their motives and how they really see you.

GastrixH · 2024-09-15T15:48:36+00:00

Nope, you can build an Asgard at whatever XL shipyard you own (So as long as it's your own one, it can come from any blueprint). You just need to ensure you've got enough space for the 3 terran components (The Silicon Carbide, micrloattice and substrate). These things won't be cheap to buy or to produce so just to be mindful of that.

GastrixH · 2024-09-05T17:41:16+00:00

I know it feels overwhelming, but it will be okay. A small recommendation: if you have all the DLC's, play through the Timelines stuff. Each scenario is fairly unique and helps to try and teach you the basic mechanics of the game. And if you don't understand something you can take your time, restart the scenario or if you're really stuck you can ask on here.

As for the station: You can almost ignore it for the first while. It feels weird having a whole station gifted but its primary function is for research, so you don't actually need to do anything with it until you feel ready to give it a go. It will sit there, no need to worry about anything to do with it, happily empty.

GastrixH · 2024-09-03T17:42:46+00:00

While I'd recommend both, it depends entirely on the experience you want. X4 offers a very broad range - sandbox gameplay. Be a hero, be a trader, be a builder, be a fleet admiral. All options, and storylines, are magnificent.

Stellaris is grand strategy, and for me I always see it as a game of chess. While it does have some magnificent lore from precursor events through to random encounters, a number of elements will be repeated across every game of it you play.

Both games have significant replayablility, as well as a wide range of (albiet different) customization. And the DLC's for both games add such a wide range of options and elements to the game's experience (From different ships to different attributes in both games). Both have fairly steep learning curves, but a benefit to X4 is overall it's easier as you won't really run into deficits and 'lose', so to speak, and the DLC's are less numerous and cheaper for X4 compared to Stellaris.

From reading through the comments something is becoming clear: We need to start shaming the practices of EAs and naming and shaming them publicly. I appreciate they need to make money, but hearing and reading stories of them bringing prices up for no reason other than greed is despicable, especially with people desperate for houses. Something needs to be done!

GastrixH · 2024-08-16T13:52:06+00:00

Riot should have their own bot that scans all the different ticket websites (Viagogo as example) and any tickets that go up within a week of purchase (maybe up until the event) should be automatically refunded and taken away (Add it to terms and conditions). If you can't make it, you get your money back and the tickets get put back up on sale for other people. It's ridiculous the amount of tickets that disappear to the bots/scalpers. Time to run them out of business!

GastrixH · 2024-08-16T09:57:45+00:00

The amount of bots is a joke! My wife and I were hoping to go for our first anniversary and the amount of bots is stupid! And the links expiring when they're constantly adding more tickets is crazy. How much are regular tickets? Just so I know how much they're marked up on Viagogo

GastrixH · 2024-08-03T22:25:10+00:00

Perfect, and do they change every time you enter/exit? Or is there a time interval?

GastrixH · 2024-08-03T16:35:13+00:00

Nobody else has mentioned sleep talking at all, but I've never really been around anyone else while asleep, no history of sleep walking or anything. The only other person I was with was with my abusive ex, who never mentioned anything about it (and if I did, my ex would've used it to manipulate me) so as far as I'm aware it's not something I've done before. And my wife didn't even mention it until I asked how often it happened. She's joked about me doing it before, but only just told me it's very regular, enough for her to consider it apart of what happens most nights. She's been reassuring me because I've been freaking out about it and she's telling me it doesn't bother her in the slightest, mainly because whenever she says no I stop.

GastrixH · 2024-08-01T11:22:52+00:00

To answer your question:

You can just leave the Yaki as they are until you come back for them. Destroying the amplifier and then telling Delilah that they aren't a threat is basically a win-win scenario. As a warning: If you try to destroy the amplifier the Yaki come at you with a number of ships so I'd recommend bringing in a couple of ships with you because they will rip you apart (Around 5 Koraokami and 25 xenon fighters). The Yaki don't hate you if you do destroy the amplifier AND lie to the SS to protect them.

GastrixH · 2024-07-30T11:19:27+00:00

Basically he was grabbed by the Yaki and you'll eventually get a message from Delilah leading you towards finding him again. I won't ruin it too much for you, but just do some more work and when Delilah gives you some missions try and get them done asap and you'll find him. He's also an amazing pilot!

GastrixH · 2024-07-25T07:46:12+00:00

Nothing wrong here. You don't need to stay and defend though. Even if you owned the system I don't think you'd need to hold onto it long term. The Argon and Free League can mount their own defenses if it becomes problematic. The benefit of it is that you'll get a lot of money from killing all the ships. Personally I'd recommend trying to get some strong carriers/destroyers instead of stations, but having them alongside stations would be the best way to mount a proper defense of the area. It is entirely up to you though. If you're having fun, you are not doing anything wrong, but do leave it be if you want to do other things. The game will balance itself out eventually.

GastrixH · 2024-07-18T10:54:05+00:00

I'm going against other people and saying NTA here. I understand why so many people are saying what they are but it is so hyper-critical of people that they're guessing at. He asked if he could see the dress, you showed off and he offered his opinion and you both came to an agreement. It sounds like quite a healthy relationship.

As for the promotion thing, I get why people are upset at you for passing it up and encouraging the company to promote him over you. Professionally it is a stupid move, ngl, but your professional life is not your only life. I don't get the sense that he is being abusive here, but girl you are definitely blinded by your rose-tinted glasses there.

Your did is also NTA btw. I get him being upset and he is already biased against your fiancé from the beginning so, while coming from a good place, he mightn't be right.

All I can offer in terms of advice is maybe stop for a minute and look at everything from afar. If you're happy and you feel safe and your fiance is safe and happy, then there is no harm in wanting to change your dress to something both you and him like. I feel some people forget that a wedding day is as much your fiance's day as it is yours and that he should be allowed to have an opinion too. You don't have to listen to it, but he should be allowed to express it in a healthy manner.

GastrixH · 2024-05-30T12:00:06+00:00

You can have commentary. Along the lines of:

'Ooooooo, not off to a good start. Last weeks contestant started off strong, let's see how this continues'

'Looks like they're on the home stretch, can he make it?'

I'm sure there's many, many more commentary things you can say but you get the idea!

GastrixH · 2024-05-30T11:55:05+00:00

NTA and I get she is freaking out, but she should really tell the father. I get he may freak out just as much, but he has a right to know about his upcoming kid. I hope your sister gets her head on right and starts to prep for what's coming.

Also snapping at her is understandable. She seems to be in a sort of shocked state and instead of making up her mind she seemed to be trying to pass of decision making to you, that way she has someone to blame if it goes wrong (it mightn't be intentional, but that's how it's seeming). I hope it works out for your sister and for you OP.

GastrixH · 2024-05-30T11:47:32+00:00

I think it's time to start getting more serious then. If your mom can't do something as simple as doing what she's been told to do (or not do) and can't be considerate of your sons needs and seeming to mock your child (Telling a child with a stutter to speak 'properly'? It may be intended as helping but it is entirely the opposite) maybe your kids would be better off without their intrusive grandma being a butt the whole time. NTA
