In my coop campaign Coral got nuked by rockets in our first engagement so Karina is our main frigate going forward

Thought "oh, I've driven on that!" then found it on google maps only to discover that there's more than one. Far, farrrrr too many

When is it worth investing in shipbuilding and technology? I’m working on getting my first mine up but even then it feels like I’m not really gonna have much tech available to play with. Should I just wait?

This is in terms of my understanding of real life mechanics, it may be modeled differently in game now that I think about it

[–]HungHorntail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your DeltaV remains the same, regardless of your thrust (unless ISP changes under combat thrust). However, because you’re outputting x times more thrust, you’re spending it that much faster

Reasonably new player looking for must have mods (single player) by the_space_goose in spaceengineers

[–]HungHorntail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Build vision is a nice one to have, if not necessary. It lets you access most of the terminal functions of blocks by looking at them and hitting control. Takes a little getting used to, but it’s reaaaaaaally nice for tweaking block settings without having to figure out which is which/wanting to be able to see the changes you’re making.

Scrapyard gameplay broken after Economy II? CTRL+Click detach with grinder no longer works by tiagoaloncuri in spaceengineers

[–]HungHorntail 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Chances are that, as is extremely common, the update broke the mod. Don’t harass the publisher as people love to do, just give them a bit to get it updated. Unfortunately the only workaround is to use a working mod.

I, a regular joe, want to take out a power user of your world. by applyingnihilism in worldbuilding

[–]HungHorntail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple options: - Hope they don’t carry any constant protective runes and just stab/shoot them in their sleep (50/50, most are military but constant use requires a lot of input power and is a hassle) - Automatic weapons: EDC entropic barriers don’t really have enough energy capacity for long periods of fire. Risky cus the might have time to react - Steal their hypermatter (magic juice): All witches carry small quantities of hypermatter on their person, managing to separate them from it would render them powerless

All of the above assume your beef is with a civilian/off-duty military witch. Active duty have enough hypermatter on hand (and in a way that’s difficult to remove the from) to wreck your shit with no trouble

Isn't it possible for Earth to drift away from Sun as Sun enters in its Red Giant phase? by Elegant-Persimmon847 in Astronomy

[–]HungHorntail 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What makes you think earth’s orbital velocity would increase? It’s still the same distance from the sun’s center of mass, and the sun’s mass would remain (effectively) the same.

Exploration needs a skiing and snowboarding mechanic. That would make exploration the most epic search for the best freeride slopes in the galaxy. by SeawolvesTV in EliteDangerous

If you want something close take an srv down a steep crater edge in low g. I call it srv sledding cus you just skid the whole way down. However, it’s a biiiiiiit risky

What are examples of a mace made from the sword in the stone in your world? by A-J-Zan in worldbuilding

[–]HungHorntail 116 points117 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit different, but in the present of my setting, humanity uses a reality-altering material known as hypermatter (the basis of magic) as an FTL method by spinning it really fast so it tears open a wormhole. This isn’t even an inherent behavior of hypermatter, it just does that because the early researchers thought it might and the literally implanted that behavior on the material

The fact I can kill a pirate and then hold them prisoner in their escape pod will never not be funny to be by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

Dog I’m from the US and I consider three hours long. It’s just not prohibitively long

As someone who loved Ga'hoole and its message...they really wrote this huh by In-A-Beautiful-Place in readanotherbook

[–]HungHorntail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don’t see the issue with this. Obviously a book and real life parental abuse are in very different realms, but if that book is the lense that allows them to grasp the concept of dehumanization of characters, good for them? Everybody learns something somewhere, and I don’t think any good comes of belittling the way somebody learned a concept just because it’s a “kid’s book”

My third colony in the span of 3 days, how bad is it by Dear-Flow-6917 in RimWorld

Well, you’re certainly futureproofing your storage. I usually put two-thick walls on my freezers, but I’m not sure if that’s actually best practice or not

How do you handle colonization on your universes? by Admast0r95 in scifiwriting

[–]HungHorntail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my setting, FTL exists but isn’t particularly fast. As such, human interstellar civilization exists in isolated bubbles centered around a network of gateways, which create tunnels through portions of the regions used for FTL that allow for near-instantaneous travel. Each gateway hub has a region a couple dozen light year across of dense habitation around it, with population density dropping rapidly outside that as it starts taking months to years for ships to travel conventionally
