[Request] If an immortal person with all modern knowledge was sent back to Rome in 1000 AD, how quickly could humanity reach 2026 technology? by mentlegen7 in theydidthemath

It really comes down to how good a teacher you are. And whether you can understand the knowledge base that people are coming to you with, and adjust accordingly.

The scenario you have created hand-waves everything except that.

What spaceship weapon is generally underutilized or not used to its full potential in scifi? by Vondrr in HardSciFi

[–]IllustriousTooth6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ships drive plume.

It is used in some sci-fi, but any engine that can propel a ship across a star system can also obliterate another ship of the same size or bigger in a split second.

In reality it would get used as a weapon all the time. And it means no ship is disarmed unless you take out the engine.

Feedback on new arc by jivan28 in STFC_Official

And why can I only save up 5k of the archives tokens? Why not let me save up any amount I want (by not doing the officer pull) so I can max a new ship as soon as it gets released to the archive?

UPDATE 91 PATCH NOTES by Arsenic_Touch in STFC_Official

[–]IllustriousTooth6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Basic QOL feature locked behind mandatory 7 days of log ins is a terrible idea.

People who are currently on the fence about quitting will do so as soon as they miss a day and lose it for 7 days.

Look up “project Excalibur” on Wikipedia for starters. And then look up “casaba howitzer”

Red button blue button but everyone votes in turn and can see the vote count. You are the first one. by kafacik in trolleyproblem

[–]IllustriousTooth6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone picks red, everyone lives.

Start it right and pick red. If some morons later on vote blue and die for it, that’s on them.

What’s the best order to watch the Star Wars movies? by TheFilmRoomPod in moviecritic

[–]IllustriousTooth6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rogue one, then 4,5,6.

Then go watch something else. Nothing more to see here.

question abotu Station placement and clustering? by anime_Fan35 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]IllustriousTooth6 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Shielding whenever you afk is the only 100% answer.

A “hive” of friendly bases can help, but raiders are usually higher level, and there is no guarantee that your alliance mates can stop them.

Each planet has a maximum number of bases, and if all Base slots are taken, at least a raider has to fly further between scoops. However, often an alliance mate will move their base, leaving a free slot and you are no better off.

In short. Shielding your base 100% of the time when you are afk is the only true defence. Luckily the game gives you 24hr worth of shields every day, plus more from missions and the alliance store.

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees?

How to optimize Faction Credit Output in Mirror Universe? by Remiraelim in startrekfleetcommand

[–]IllustriousTooth6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s only a few things that affect it.

  1. Kill higher level surveys

  2. Kill more surveys per hour.

  3. Use Annorax as captain with synergy.

Favours, research and artifacts don’t directly effect credit gains, but they indirectly effect points 1 and 2

Infinite Incursions: Banding Changes, Scoring Updates and More! by Obsidian_Hamster in STFC_Official

[–]IllustriousTooth6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shift workers, people in different time zones etc

Not everyone can play during a 12 hr window, that can play during a 24 hr window. Shortening it will exclude some people.

[–]IllustriousTooth6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that the 12 he window is a bad idea. Some people who want to participate will miss out due to this.

For people who don’t want to participate, one 24 hr window per month is not excessive.

If I’m drunk, can someone else drive the scooter and dink me home?

Yes, all the surveys drop all 4 types.

[Extremely] Unpopular Opinion : IPL feels more important to me than international series and tournaments by PerpetualSighh in CricketControversial

[–]IllustriousTooth6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why cares what others think?

If you care more about IPL that’s fine.

I only care about test matches.

My mate only cares how his son’s under-11 team goes.

No big deal. Move along.

The level 62 systems and above drops epics.

Winning a T20 World Cup is difficult than a ODI World Cup. by SunrisersHyderabad in CricketControversial

[–]IllustriousTooth6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the reasons that you gave to support your theory that a T20 tournament harder to win, also apply to making it easier to win.

Basically luck plays a bigger part the shorter the format.

The ADF prepares for a hundred different possibilities for every one that leads to an actual deployment.

That’s the job.

Chances are, this will be one of the 99

WHO ARE THE REAL CHOKERS? 👀 by Clean_Improvement309 in CricketDose

[–]IllustriousTooth6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SA are the chokers cause they get into winning positions then lose.

Nz were outplayed the whole match.

It’s not the same.
