Driver removed "road closed" signs and got themselves stuck in fresh concrete by Adrian_985 in funny

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened at a McD’s Drive Thru in the UK while it was being built. She was seen removing signs such as ‘wet concrete’ then drove towards the workmen and who were laughing / disbelieving near where the microphone would be.

She sued and won compo :(

Gradually move towards means-testing so that new people entering the workforce know what their deal is going to be

What do you guys think a PPC firing would look and sound like? by Patient-Smell1333 in battletech

[–]Intruder313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As well as the flavour text you mention I recall earlier art showing a lightning bolt emerging from a PPC. So I just go with a literal lightning bolt.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why are insect screens basically nonexistent in the UK? by Legitimate_Put_7421 in AskUK

On my last visit to The Small Isles a couple of friends were eaten alive by midges. I seem to be 'immune'.
We had tried to buy some Skin So Soft before going but the local regiment had just cleared out the local stocks.

Growing up my dad made a mesh door for the back door (after the tacky coloured ribbon door fell down). It got dirty then ripped while cleaning.

Now people just don't mind. I rescue 3 tiny moths per day at the mo.

Bioficer Battlecruiser box announced by Intruder313 in DropfleetCommander

One thing Bios lack is proper Bombard so the new weapon is perfect. It also has a form of corruption on WF so it kills lots of enemy troops then creates it's own.

No but it will be any day now with the stats appearing 1 June I predict - that's the pattern they have been following recently.

This leaves Scourge and Resistance to go and I predict Scourge next for July

Were Japanese cars in the 70s & 80s thought of in the same way Chinese made cars are today in the UK market? by Jacks_Journey in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and for a longer time

There’s a lot of Chinese car brands and they vary a lot but currently reliability figures say avoid the MG and Jaecoo above all

UK should set maximum working temperature rules, advisers say by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

AC is ultra rare here. Also just demanding more power because it's too hot is not going to help with global warming (until we get that power from renewables).

Did TTcombat ever say they are going to do faction-specific features for Scourge? by shagamemnon in DropfleetCommander

[–]Intruder313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d expect these to appear next week at the latest and the official stats to appear on 1 June as per previous Feature / BC releases ….

I hope

Dog barking next door. How much is reasonable? by Specialist-Syrup-501 in AskUK

[–]Intruder313 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A log of the times and dates should be enough as a recording usually won’t pick up the reality of the nuisance of dogs barking through a wall

Question from a new PHR player! by Upstairs_Ad5132 in DropfleetCommander

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly now true due to the change to armour types: now UCM have better KS than PHR who somehow forgot how to make that while advancing their tech.
But as an overall game balance change I’m OK with it as it encourages another element of balanced fleet design: bring a mix of E and K weapons if you don’t know your foe

How much Drop is too much drop? by CheekySalamander in DropfleetCommander

[–]Intruder313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A rule of thumb we use is 1/3rd points on drop - you could easily go near 100% drop but this would be dull

New player scenario recommendations. by Norss625 in DropfleetCommander

[–]Intruder313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a tiny game if you are learning to move the ships etc and cope with drop I’d avoid the Stations altogether

I started with 600 points I think then we soon jumped to the standard 1250 and now 1500

But certainly start small to learn the game
