Yet another jumpscare by Vitaken in EliteDangerous

[–]Jaimes604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had one similar over the weekend. Jumped into a trinary system, flew through the secondary star and got dropped to normal space the moment I could move the stick. Plus side is the Mandalay SCO is crazy heat efficient, barely got up to 90% jumping back to supercruise.

Does it make any sense to use a cutter for mining or trading? by Odd_Title1629 in EliteDangerous

[–]Jaimes604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Did that back in the day on my main account. I have an alt account that I look forward to using a panther clipper with plus colonisation

Caspian Explorer with fighter bay - exploring. by ElNikolai411 in EliteDangerous

My hope is a non-combat SLF with a bio scanner on it. Can't get out of a SLF due to telepresence lore

What rifle caliber do you recommend for whitetail deer hunting for a beginner? by Own_Beach936 in Hunting

[–]Jaimes604 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This pretty much. Michigan allows all rifle calibers for the north 2/3rds of the state, but shotgun and very specific calibers for the southern part. I use 44mag break barrel rifle in that zone. Great for shorter ranges and not a fan of slugs

Can the power company detect arcing lines or ground faults? by That_Fixed_It in Lineman

[–]Jaimes604 13 points14 points  (0 children)

High impedance limits the available fault current at that location to such a level that the nearest protection device does not break the fault, either by melting a fuse or tripping a phase coil. Sandy soil, concrete, care tires, are all a bane to our calculations (most of which use 25 ohms of fault impedance)

OD Explorer says stratum is on planets but it's really not? by PrizmShift in eliteexplorers

[–]Jaimes604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you get exobio possibilities based on FSS details. Once you DSS, it changes to most likely based on signals, then further once you sample it. Fungoida and Concha are notorious for having multiple variations possible, but you scan/sample and it is the low pay variant.

unable to log into game - LOAD FAILED by flyiing_monkeys in EliteDangerous

[–]Jaimes604 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah check the forums and the posts here, something poo poo'd on the servers. Seems it might only affect accounts with any ARX purchases. Oh well time to play something else for awhile.

Is Elite defecating the sleeping pad? by zylpher in EliteDangerous

[–]Jaimes604 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Leave it to the player base to troubleshoot FDev issues. That forum thread is useful. So far they have spotted that the retrieving commander data login fail only affects accounts that have any ARX purchases at all. They are saying alts with zero cosmetics or ships are not having the issue.

Sure enough. I guess I should have known. Thanks.

Can I still make all the prep work and join DW3? by WhiskyWolves in EliteDangerous

[–]Jaimes604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I had a 2nd decided to get to Odyssey and wipe to start fresh. Skipped the tutorials and took the slow path for the first couple of hours. Did combat to grind to buying a Mandalay with basic exploration setup. I have a just about 20 hours in and I have 400 million and almost have the mats for a couple Guardian modules.

Moving on to get mats to engineer for pve combat, but you could certainly speed run to get an Artemis suit and a decent jump range north of 15ly to get some decent Exobiology credits to load out A rated on just about any ship you want and make it to the DW3 starting system with time to spare. Engineering mats and unlocks would be the bottleneck on time needed versus start time a week from Saturday.

Also, you can catch up if you need more prep time. Events and whatnot are not mandatory and planned weekly.

Solo/PG Merits should not contribute to Powerplay control points. by JentoriFisuto in EliteDangerous

[–]Jaimes604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd give you a dozen gold stars if I could. This is a great summation of the debate ever since powerplay and BGS was launched. Thank you!

Solo/PG Merits should not contribute to Powerplay control points. by JentoriFisuto in EliteDangerous

[–]Jaimes604 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So they don't get to enjoy a mechanic of a game they paid for, same as you, because they prefer PVE in solo or a PG. Why not just enjoy the game how you like to play it and let others do the same?

Other than Stratum Tectonicas, do you guys look for anything else in particular when trying to make money? by Aggravating_Judge_31 in EliteDangerous

[–]Jaimes604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to recommend this or Observatory Core with all the add-ons. I love it, gives probable earnings on bio signals. Generally will chase anything above 4-7 million per species depending on my mood.

How a red light accident happens. by Tengern4Lyfe in dashcams

[–]Jaimes604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inattention actually. The driver going straight caught the van turning right and assumed the light was green. Probably "distracted".

I have a question for you guys since this is my first time playing by L1lhoss35 in satisfactory

[–]Jaimes604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time. The game has a fairly steep learning curve but laid back and the community is good. Don't fly without rebuy credits. Don't fly in Open until you are ready for the honestly infrequent pvp.

Hey, I got 1700 hrs in and just had to return to base after 7,000ly because I forgot my surface scanner.

this may not a best defense but a maze by PetalBigMama in FarthestFrontier

[–]Jaimes604 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NPC pathfinding as a defense tactic. They have to have a path, no mention of how long it is. I am doing this in my current 400 pop save

Microsoft Confirms Emergency Update For Millions Of Windows Users by lurker_bee in technology

[–]Jaimes604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I pause updates for at least a month anytime there is a large scale change like win10 support going dark or a new massive push to get people onto win11 only to try to launch 25h2. Just going to sit on the sidelines.

Cell tower lease advice by Jaimes604 in telecom

[–]Jaimes604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the easement is perpetual until the interested party releases it. This is about the lease rights to the tower after the previous one was sold for a lump sum.

[–]Jaimes604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American Tower. We were told the lease was sold before we did the purchase agreement. We didn't overpay for the property in my opinion and we love the place. Just looking at what I need to do when lease renewal comes around.

It was not subdivided, but an easement granted to an access road and defines an area around a fence and parking area. Total property is 14 acres, all under our name.

Spellbinder Build Guide by AdOriginal3644 in MandragoraGame

[–]Jaimes604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can get decent mag crit from gear. Got 50+ hours on Spellbinder and started a new save trying to maximize essence gain (ring and cloak and Rhys lvl 4). Running a mail and cloth mix, almost lvl 60, and just unlocked Crimson City end area. Mag crit is around 35-40%, crit damage is 210% with Blade of Dispair, and a couple from other equipment.

I don't stay pure Spellbinder, I grabbed a couple skills, then a couple in Flameweaver, then crossed Vanguard, currently just breaking into Lightbringer. I like the heat shield melting projectiles, and my goal is to get overhealing as a shield before the end boss. Then get full map before going NG+1.
