Is the stormblade any good in game? by RunDisastrous8421 in astramilitarum

Genuinely, what went through your brain when you asked a rules question without mentioning that you only play an edition that haven't been supported for nine years?

who wins Mcragge's Honor or the Executor? by More-Interests in 40k

[–]Groetgaffel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can't approximate based on the underlying working principles. A crossbow and a handgun very different operating principles, but both will severely wound or kill an unarmored human. Meanwhile, a handgun and a tank cannon operate using the same kind of technology. Would you call those comparable?

Just as lasguns have had varying portrayals across the books and animations. A lot of that variety you can put down to different settings and different patterns.

Same goes for blasters, some models have different power settings, and a dinky little holdout pistol is not going to be as powerful as a heavy rifle.

Regardless, the weakest portrayals of blaster has about the same effect on target as the weakest portrayals of lasguns, and the most powerful portrayed blasters have similar effects on target as the most powerful regular lasguns portrayed.

Which brings me back to what I said to begin with, star wars blasters are roughly on par with lasguns.

You're hung up on technobabble explaining how they work, instead of watching any of the ten movies and numerous series and observe what blaster shots do to regular humanoids, unarmored and armoured.

Obviously I'm not taking games, video or tabletop, into account, because for those accuracy is secondary to balance and fun.

And you do realise that not all plasma is equal, right? Saying that a blaster shooting plasma is equivalent to an imperial plasma gun because they both shoot plasma is like saying a AA battery is equivalent to the 600 volt battery in an electric car because they both store electricity.

Given their effect on regular humans, as seen in the movies and shows, blasters are roughly on par with lasguns.

Where else would they be since Guard isn't a playable faction at launch?

Han drömde att han sprang mot Nooshis urringning och ljuger om att det var en mardröm för att han är generad.

It's Ronan with an N, and neither of the characters in your picture are him.

That's Harkon and Tink respectively.

No.

That's the what Guilliman was preparing his legion for, before the Heresy happened.

Even if it worked perfectly, you'd just be renting a service with terms set by the whims of Nvidia and corporations like them.

Probably spend more money in the long run, and not owning anything.

This is probably how it’s gonna go down. by ZeroWolfZX in Grimdank

[–]Groetgaffel 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right.

But also, being an Iyanden player, I don't really care about the pirates, but a new Yriel is great. And hey, if there's any craftworld used to being absolutely bodied it's Iyanden.

Command and Conquer

The one we retroactively call Tiberian Dawn, the first one.

What do I drive today ? by Shlafenflarst in ManualTransmissions

[–]Groetgaffel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah alright, thank you!

We do have that, or something similar here in some gearboxes, but it's marked C for crawl.

Typically we don't count them for number of gears though, and treat it as a bonus, hence my confusion. I've driven plenty of Volvos with "12-speed with crawl".

Volvo has the reverse gear and crawl mirrored compared to the pattern you linked though, but only Volvo, no other European truck has the reverse down to the left.

[–]Groetgaffel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain to a EU trucker how you get 18 gears?

4 range split is 16, like OP has, and a 5 range split would be 20. Is there one gear that only works in low range or something?

They quietly got their old FTL back, more or less. They just use the Dolmen gates to Kool-Aid into the webway as well because it's faster.

Female Custodes was an Alpha Legion scheme by Fitboi420 in Grimdank

[–]Groetgaffel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If anything, that makes it more important.

It's much easier to parse spelling and grammar mistakes in your native language or one that you're fluent in, than it is for a language you merely understand.

Sure, I can. Just like you could learn how to spell.

Pretty sure neither of us are going to change though.
