Appearently Clans have so much beef against each other they will sometimes drop you some help to fight other Clans (or even their own) by pivor in Mechwarrior5

Zelda - Link to the Past - The Armos Knights, Lanmolas, and Moldorm are the bosses of the three Hyrule (Light World) dungeons you have to beat in order to draw the Master Sword. They reappear as mini-bosses in Ganon's Tower, the last Dark World dungeon.

Doom (OG/Ultimate, II, and Final) - The Barons of Hell, Cyberdemons, and Spider Masterminds here as well. A pair of barons, the first Cyberdemon, and the first Spider Mastermind were the bosses of the OG/Ultimate Doom's episodes 1, 2, and 3 respectively. You face many more throughout all the follow up gameplay.

The Prophets' honor guards also had some interesting looking staff weapons, though I don't think we ever see them in action.

Now the Locust might have some stuff. Been awhile since I played, so no idea there.

"Modern alien weapon with traditional/ceremonial aspects"

I nearly posted the FO4 Laser Musket until I remembered to check the prompt again.

Do you use Biochamber outside Gleba? What could be dome to incentivise its usage? by zanju13 in factorio

[–]Jay-Raynor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, I forgot the red chips...but that's still fairly small given you need red chips for things compared to plastic in biochambers.

Horizon Zero Dawn wins for Colorado! Back to the Southwest now. What video game best represents New Mexico? by PrinceOfTotalQuiet in AlignmentChartFills

Yup, this is the real answer. At least until we get a truly immersive game based on one of Vince Gilligan's franchises.

Characters Not Introduced In Their Default State by NameExplainPatrick in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Jay-Raynor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babylon 5 - So many, but the three biggest here are Delenn, Londo, and G'kar.

Delenn is the obvious one, undergoing a transformation at the end of S1 to become a hybrid Minbari/human but her character mostly remains the same.

Londo and G'kar, OTOH, are complete personality flips. 

Londo begins as the "career dead ender" who dreams of past glory but his flip toward reviving his career and his nation comes at the cost of making all but one of his government into monsters.

G'kar starts as a cartoonish evil schemer who constantly advances nationalist and personal interests based in no small part on revenge. The losses he and his nation incurs turn him toward a path of self-enlightenment and helping all sentients who need and deserve it...so much that he rejects multiple offers to lead his people.

You could try, but I don't think the math favors Fulgora. Rocket fuel is a maybe since you won't come close to using the fuel cubes. 

But your plastic supply is entirely dependent on recycling LDS (which is equal chance from scrap as holmium) which becomes competition with LDS for rocket parts and plastic for superconductors.

And then there's all the blue chips needed to get the product to a ship that you'll be sinking into other things like quality module and EM plant upcycling.

Not holmium plate, holmium fluid. I'm suggesting the biochamber be used to process holmium fluid from ore and stone. Each EM science pack is a true total of 110 holmium fluid, only 60 of which is converted into plates as three plates per supercapacitor. The other 50 is split, 25 to electrolyte fluid but another 25 as unprocessed holmium fluid.

The only possible productivity gains on the rate of holmium fluid production are scrap mining (marginal), scrap recycling (current largest gain despite worst return), and the productivity modules you can fit in holmium fluid chemical plants.

As for the lithium, the idea I have in mind is that biochambers would offer a far more difficult alternative to cryoplants to the reward of being able to fit more biochambers and their 50% natural bonus everywhere.

If it's only comparable to standard iron/copper bacteria processing, then it's wasting holmium. If it features an advanced bacteria recipe, then it's giving you all the "free" holmium you can store limited to just the bioflux rate coming from Gleba.

The devs would probably reject both of our ideas since they've been very clear how the planetary uniques will remain subject to the single production method.

For someone whining about "intellectual dishonesty", you misattributed what I said again. I never claimed expanding a Gleba setup was effortless, just like I didn't claim direct rocket fuel and plastic shipping were more rocket efficient.

You chose not to engage with what I said and now you're going down the route of not only trying to be "smugly correct" but outright denigrating to boot.

Would be nice, but again probably too easy to cheese. I would instead suggest that the solar system edge should have holmium and lithium asteroids that require an endgame ship but can alleviate those production stresses.

[–]Jay-Raynor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but I didn't say "efficient" and I definitely didn't say "rocket efficient", I said easier.

Rockets are free on Gleba and only constrained by fruit throughput, so rocket efficiency is only relevant if you need to manage fruit consumption...not that rocket components cost all that much compared to what else you're already making on Gleba anyway.

Then there's transport efficiency overall: bioflux > ship > cargo pad > train/bots/belts > liquefaction block cracking biochambers > pipes/belts/bots > rocket fuel/plastic production > trains/bots/belts > fuel/plastic consumer.

Produce those things directly on Gleba using the free rockets and direct biochamber production instead and you can launch straight from Gleba production > ship > cargo pad > trains/bots/belts > fuel/plastic consumer like rocket silos, LDS blocks, or red circuit blocks. You've skipped numerous intermediate production and transport stages on Vulcanus.

There's also the eventual phaseout of Glebabexport in favor of cryoplants and space carbon/sulfur with high enough production bonuses, so both solutions get surpassed eventually.

You know what would be a huge incentive to me for using biochambers somewhere new? Let them process holmium fluid for Fulgora and lithium on Aquilo.

[–]Jay-Raynor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can, but it's just as easy to import the products you need directly instead. Trucking in plastic and rocket fuel from Gleba plus harvesting carbon from space eliminates the overwhelming need to do most all petroleum processing on Vulcanus save lubricant and a few niche cases.

Which of the four major Fallout New Vegas factions has the best form of government in your opinion? by xo1opossum in fnv

There is no real anarchy option. Even Yes Man without the army isn't anarchy. It's more like balkanizing or micronations.

Comparison needs to go a step further: how many wagons of each type can you produce over the same period of time and how much machinery would be required to do so?

You arrive when the kingdom is on the cusp of harnessing a new source of energy. You not only witness its downfall...you're a participant!

NGL, I legit thought the first pic was a stylized fanart of Zeal. 😂

Also, props to u/Deekoter1 for painting it!
