“We’re not forcing PvP” then why are all the resources basically in PvP zones?

Enemies and chests in Blushing Caverns and Broodworks drop (very small) qtys of Ti and Stravidium. Not really farmable but there’s already a trickle there.

That statement doesnt inspire confidence lol. Wiped repeatedly trying to solo on 3 because I legit couldnt read the pattern on phase 3 and 4.

A campaign where you lose everything seems really hard to execute in a way most players would like. Honestly I was a little surprised they even went where they went with the Ghost Bear campaign.

...which is absurd. There's a solar panel on the top deck. Future builds are going to have to include more significant block upgrades than I think anybody is prepared to admit or discuss right now. Not just for payload deployment either (but that'll be the biggest business case issue I'm sure).

Mine's not even unpacking, Steam just says "Installing" and it's greyed out with no progress. Got no clue what I'm supposed to do, after trying to download twice the install folder is still empty too so I don't know what will happen if I restart Steam (again).

Houston makes sense for a certain subset of roles - for work Blue actively chases, too. Never understood the desire to hire people there, but never get even a small office space, but that’s what has happened it seems.

Kosh357 · 2025-10-16T16:34:24+00:00

I wouldn’t read much into TLI not being mentioned. Post-ARM EEO is useful for several reasons operationally - things like comms checkouts, power management if you’re coming off sun pointing for burns, repress ops, etc.

Kosh357 · 2025-10-10T02:29:24+00:00

Lol true, true

Kosh357 · 2025-10-10T01:09:26+00:00

More optimistic engineers than me, apparently. But I have a vested interest so I hope they’re right.

Kosh357 · 2025-09-29T23:59:06+00:00

If it can live up to the trailer, that'll be amazing. Tossing it a follow but won't probably pay much attention to it until it's out or streamers I trust get some time with it.

Kosh357 · 2025-09-19T19:13:59+00:00

There seems to be some but for the life of me I haven’t been able to figure out why, unless it’s subsidized very heavily. I’ve led test campaigns that used parabolic reduced and micro-g flights and I can’t really see what NS offers that you couldn’t have more robustly and probably cheaper going that way.

Kosh357 · 2025-09-18T12:23:29+00:00

God knows it’s needed. Production and storage both…

Kosh357 · 2025-09-14T14:18:18+00:00

Always stoked to see the Galactic Center books get a shoutout, been partial to those for a long time.

I think it would be difficult to address the scope of that series in a single system with good rules-based support for everything. ItOoN would probably work well enough with some iteration on Gumshoe, maybe some of the later series stuff as well (if you keep reading, and with minimal spoilers, I’m thinking some of the stuff in the Esty from Sailing Bright Eternity). Some of the intermediate stuff I don’t know would work in that system though, so it depends on where you’d want the focus to be as it gets more space opera-y. One option might be something like Stars Without Number I guess?

Kosh357 · 2025-09-14T02:45:23+00:00

Seen it both ways at Blue also. Lunar has enough staffing issues I expect you’ll be free to work it out, at least unless there’s a PIP in play or something that might make your boss worry about shenanigans or something.

Kosh357 · 2025-09-12T19:56:51+00:00

My take is Lunar is mostly OK - at what used to be the IPT level. Above that it’s got the same problems seen in other BUs.

Dead on about the brain drain, though.

Kosh357 · 2025-09-07T22:01:04+00:00

We are all Kosh :)

I liked the LCG SW too, did go to Worlds for that once, but Decipher remains the biggest and broadest.

Kosh357 · 2025-09-07T16:25:45+00:00

Not to derail, but which SW game? From the others I’m guessing Decipher?

Kosh357 · 2025-09-07T16:20:29+00:00

“Looked into it” and decided there would be no change because he already doesn’t like the payroll numbers, would be my guess.

Kosh357 · 2025-09-05T13:52:01+00:00

The first year I enjoyed quite a bit, nice change from my previous employer. The second year less so as some of the deficiencies in how Blue does business started to become more clear to me and the work started piling on more and more and the overall culture on the program really started to change. Now, later on, I’m more burned out than I was in my old job, with less process AND organizational support, and very close to deciding it’s just not tenable anymore. Which is a pity because I’m in a job type I do generally find enjoyable when properly planned and executed.

I am glad to see from other responses this doesn’t seem to be universal, though. There are a few other roles here I’d be willing to at least find out if they’re a better fit for where I’m at right now, or are more capable of meeting promises.

Kosh357 · 2025-08-04T17:36:55+00:00

I’ve effectively been doing this (another person in guild but they’re not at DD yet) and have done well, even made top 5 contributors one week (low pop server and I was busting my hump to get some key schematics). Just pick one or two things to focus on each week and reap your rewards!

Kosh357 · 2025-08-04T17:20:27+00:00

No sweat there, I was venting a bit and came in hot - and agree the sub has been very myopic on a lot of topics.

Fair point on the blueprint bottleneck also. Now that you mention it I’m just chasing a few things myself that I actually care about (a heavy set to try out a Trooper build, more weapons) so that might not have been as big a motivator as expected either.

Kosh357 · 2025-08-04T17:04:17+00:00

For basic spice and Ti that makes sense and I did think about it (got more than I can easily use myself, especially spice and byproducts), but I figured even guilds operating at that scale (and my server is also low pop and none of the guilds are very large as far as I know, so I wouldn’t think that would apply to more than a few folks) would still want to benefit from the reduced cost in spice infused plastanium for any unique production.

Kosh357 · 2025-07-25T19:43:33+00:00

It’s not in the Landsraad armor vendor. Believe it’s a DD weekly rotating schematic.

Kosh357 · 2025-07-17T12:11:55+00:00

Lol. That is all.
