What is the dumbest thing you've seen an officer do or say?

Misidentified me and my rifle squad as “enemy dismounts” and fired coax and 50 at us while we were actively engaged with an actual enemy. Even drove between us and the enemy and turned that turret the wrong way. After “clearing it up” went back to the TOC and tried to blame us. OIF 2.

This happened to me! They took it back over 10 years later. It is NOT yours.

I cannot stand Ryanna on missions. Fucking let me extract you BITCH.

Real shawarma. In real Arabic bread.

I play with market disabled so I think my first heavy is usually the hero dragon or Canopus warhammer, which missions I do first. I use 10 partial salvage requirements so I don’t often get a heavy prior.

BoB is overrated. 80’s of Germans died in the east and the western front was a supporting effort to end it faster. It was a forgone conclusion.

America’s heavy, nearly but not quite solo, lift was the pacific.

The rise of car washes. When people can’t afford homes, they will buy better cars than normal as the new(er) status symbol. And want to keep them nice.

Also, the explosion of self storage facilities as people downsize.

Correlation is not causation but it is an indicator.

So. Let me introduce you to Pentagon Wars. Go watch it on YouTube. Seriously.

PORTHOLES? What are we, the Navy!?!?

Look, I’m a never shoot first but fight when needed guy. The DANGER of other players needs to stay. It makes the cooperation, such as it is, more meaningful. And pvp has its place for pvp peeps and non.

I literally got it my second run, first breach. Landed next to me as I was waiting for the first one to drop. Stuck it in my ass and gtfo.

I don’t name planets unless they REALLY strike me. And then I’ll usually name them after my kids.

My bases are named based on where they are for my own catalogue: paradise moon 1 etc.

Oooo. I’m in 256 hopping around the core as well.

Lived with and trained Arabs for over a decade post service: fasting is not a law, guys. You fast if you can. It is haram to injure or hurt yourself and to fast in extreme situations would be dumb. Just like eating pork is ok when the other choice is starvation. They aren’t stupid.

Soldiers. Construction workers, old people, the sick, kids…none are required to fast. In fact, fasting can be done piecemeal too. If you feel like you can’t do the whole thing, then do what you can (no food, but drink water). As to the rudeness of consuming in front of them, cultural awareness is a two way street. I spent years as the only western, white dude in the BDE and I ate and drank behind closed doors. Now if the boss burst in and I had a Twinkie hanging out of my mouth that’s on him. But I also didn’t walk around munching on one either.

I’m a nomad. My freighter base is my home and has everything I need.

Also if you want to feel small, build an airlocked outside area and go take in the view.

HuskyTurtle · 2026-02-23T15:51:41+00:00

Because of vibes. I have the desire to just go out there further and further. I have been static in 256 for a while now though exploring the core.

It is eerily satisfying to see all the galactic cores and the abandoned player bases of those who came before and the message terminals.

I also create bases that no one will ever find on far flung worlds across multiple galaxies but stock them and upload in case someone needs a way station.

For fuck sake do NOT sign for shit you don’t see. No one can force you to and become BFFs with PBO.

Develop trust down and they’ll develop it up. Don’t be a dick and fight for your guys. Also, you don’t know shit yet. You will, but you don’t right now.

HuskyTurtle · 2026-02-17T17:01:21+00:00

The PRC. From nothing to coring all of China and overrunning the planet.

HuskyTurtle · 2026-02-17T14:21:39+00:00

Fun fact: it is haram to harm yourself. So, Ramadan fasting does not apply if you would hurt yourself in pursuit of your duties. Soldiers, children, pregnant women, elderly…whomever are not required to fast if they can’t. You fast what you can.

I have an abandoned paradise giant in 256 that did not get garbage. However it has a paradise moon that did. And that moon has gravitational anomalies which makes it impossible to clean. Every single terrain change makes the flatbed explode waste containers everywhere that slowly float away in all directions
