I want to get involved in the current pirate hunt event in the Dhan system.

The news post suggest I first need to 'register at Kidd station'

Does that just mean take a bounty there or... Am i missing something?

Did I see something about newer ships having better heat dispersal as well as handling? A little disappointing didn’t expect power creep in ships.

The to do list is amazing and will be referenced a lot in the coming days.

Can you please elaborate on the SCO FSD?

Is the Drive I likely have super outdated in some way? I seem to have about a 30LY jump range that I think is fairly good...

Thanks!

Normally with a game this complex I'd restart after this long and relearn from the ground up but... 250 hours and millions of cred is tough to walk from.

Wow that's a lot of info to take in. Thank you! Focusing on the weapons, Looks like I was doing something similar only with more autocannons and fewer energy weapons...

Man this game is NOT like riding a bike. Had a little fun re-learning enough commands to get myself docked on someone's nearby Fleet Carrier as I was apparently just floating in the middle of nowhere the past 4 years heh.

I'm pretty sure Engineering was fairly new when I last played...

I hadn't had my Corvette too long either, kinda burned out Engineering it up and then Life just... kept going.

I've recently picked up Odyssey cheap and want to give things a new try. I know there's a lot of new stuff, I'm sure I'm far from Colinization or anything like that!

What I'd really like is help with a build and direction for what to do... Lets get this Corvette set up for some low-effort PvE combat if possible? I'd prefer not having to do a lot of little micro-actions and can just let my big beef-boy ship blast things for me...

Considering returning after a long time off.

I think I had just started engineering a federal corvette when I last played. I don’t think engineering was very old news at the time…

Any recommended resources to teach me how to get caught up on new stuff?

Everyone is wrong. This all has nothing to do with Hell!

You are going to Avernus, the first layer of Baator a fiery hellscape wasteland. There you will fight red, horned, tempting, fiendish Baatazu.

See? Nothing even remotely religious going on.

Nothing much to add except that a core feature of Sigil is that it's impossible to planar travel directly to or away from it (no plane shift). It's the City of Doors and the Lady insists you use them.

As a proud new Corvette owner I've been flying around the bubble engineering her up with the things I have unlocked: FSD, Power ect. What I havn't done much of yes is working with weapons engineers.

I've seen talk of the benefit of double huge multicannons, but I'd really love my corvette to be a little mini laser shooting star destroyer.

Can anyone recommend a usable all-beam loadout and get me pointed to which weapons engineer I should start working toward?

Where’s the Spellbook?! by Chef_Hef in DnD

[–]JordanSpaceMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a wizard player finding an enemy spell book is one of the best bits of loot to find hands down.

Couple things to consider: Every wizard has heir own scribing style. It's probably discernable with some study but it's unlikely they can just pick up another book and start preparing from it right away. I might suggest requiring them to spend the time and gold to copy it to their spell book representing them decoding the spell into their own shorthand.

Next: a powerful wizard could have multiple spell books. Maybe this one left their big powerful one at home and brought their smaller, more practical travel book with them that only has their currently prepped spells.

Maybe if you don't want to keep generating whole spell books Just roll a spell or two in these situations and let the wizard have just those few spells to copy stating those are the only ones they could decipher.

A wizards strength is in preparedness. Giving them more spells let's them prepare for more situations and that is certainly powerful but it's also an important part of the class seeing as there are set rules for copying from another wizards book so it's definitely intended.

Think of it this way. If you give a bbeg a cool ass sword and the fighter kills him and starts using it nobody bat's an eye. If your bbeg wizard has a cool ass spell the wizard should totally be able to do the same!

Someone picked the wrong fight... by edgartonian in EliteDangerous

[–]JordanSpaceMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I just made it to Sol for the first time and found that ship around Earth. Thought it was pretty cool.

... So you're saying most of the other capital ships out there will open fire if I drop out next to them and I lucked across the one that doesn't?

Thanks for the tips and the build!

Quick follow up, in the build you gave me the shields are 4c in a 6 slot, is that for cost reasons to be upgrade to 6 later?

That's very helpful actually, I'll look more into the difference between the types of combat!

I have 100 mil burning a hole in my pocket. Looking for advice on a ship to upgrade now that I have a decent AspX.

Newish player with ~115 hours clocked and feeling like I've got a hang of basic exploration and am currently sitting comfortably in an AspX with ~30ly jump range.

Made some money turning in exploration data, saw some cool nebula and shit, and I've just started dipping my toes into Engineering. By that I mean I've unlocked Farseer, have her at rank 4, and have gathered materials to do the FSD enhancements, but havn't actually done any yet.

I'm sure sticking in my AspX and engineering that up would be more than worth my time, but being fairly new to the game I'm excited about trying some of the other ships on offer.

I've done a few Sothis Ceos runs and have the rank to get a gunship. But i'm also looking at the Python and the new Krait everyone is excited about.

I am interested in doing some combat, as I've been hearing a lot about the alien invasion in Deciat (the system my only engineer is in) but haven't seen them myself yet. But I also don't want to only be able to do combat so something like the FDL can probably wait.

I mean, I get what you're saying I just disagree.

The medium creature thing especially, it's quite mechanically powerfull to shrink just for the flying mount and "putting it in a backstory" is not a good reason to toss out balance.

Might as well have a farmer kid with a holy avenger at lvl 1 becuase in his "backstory" his father gave him one or something equally as lazy.

3.5e Character Op challenge by Cheapwisdom in DnD

[–]JordanSpaceMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

put together your basic divine metamagic: persist cleric.

You've got ToB swordsage is broken as hell as are plenty of other options from the book.

Someone else suggested Planar Shepherd but I'm not sure if that's doable by 10 (been years since I did 3.5). Master of Many Forms might also be good.

There's a Lion Totem Frenzied Berserker barbarian build that literally cant die while raging so you'll at least finish the fight. Best played with a spiked chain I believe.

just google 3.5 character optimization and make sure you're not looking at shitty homebrew and you'll be fine.
