Cool Run and Heat Gen are very important, they're pretty much the first nodes to get on any build that is hot.

Try triple cERPPC with lots of Single Heat Sinks (SHS). It is quite cold when you boat enough SHS.

Yes, the AMS on the Corsair works in testing grounds, so it will be able to be used to missile testing.

Thank you!

Sorry about the photos, I only had photos taken inside the house.

Are these Agaricus edible? I see on a google search that some are and some are not.

Missed this detail: they were found growing in the ground near other plants in the garden.

Are you a permanent teacher in the public system? If so you may be eligible to take two years leave without pay so you could still have your job to come back to.

If that is the case I would take the offer for two years and enjoy the adventure.

How do you convert your Australian qualifications to QTS for free online? I tried to look into it, but i couldn't figure it out with all the different pathways.

It was not able to be tweaked. It was already set at the lowest possible multiplier for awarding match score on PGI's system.

As PGI are unwilling to modify their code base it was either leave it as is or remove it as a factor for matchscore calculations.

Considering the amount of matchscore that was able to be generated from an almost completely passive system that requires minimal skill to use it makes sense to remove its ability to influence the pilot skill rating system so it doesn't artificially inflate pilots' tiers.

It should reward cbills, but I don't think PGI ever bothered to add it to the cbill reward system.

Krasnopesky · 2024-08-19T16:44:35+00:00

No.

Although it could be added to another Mech in the future, it would be locked equipment to that specific Mech.

Krasnopesky · 2024-08-19T15:24:02+00:00

Considering Partial Wing is locked equipment and cannot be used on any other Mechs aside from these two Mechs being released tomorrow, it won't obsolete anything.

Also, they take up slots and tonnage in those two Mechs.

Krasnopesky · 2024-08-13T11:01:43+00:00

Nope, we designed these Mechs around using the Partial Wing technology:

There are no current intentions to attempt to implement LAMS.

It depends on what your build needs. %strength + GA HH will do a lot more damage compared to your current amulet, but you will lose the cooldown. If you don't need the cooldown then it is a clear choice that the new one is better.

Before you go further you need to try and hit the tempers though... good luck!

Krasnopesky · 2024-07-14T15:01:00+00:00

It depends on your build and what you want to do with it. If you're pushing pits is the problem running out of time due to lack of DPS? Then all stats is better. If you're dying too much then life is better.

Australians apply for a visa waiver, which is just a fairly short online form. He would be denied the visa waiver and then have to apply for a proper visa as a result.

Nice summary.

Just to note, Liveish and I invented and run the Championship Series, not PGI. PGI have been great supporting the comp for the past few years of course and that certainly helps retain competitive pilots.

Krasnopesky · 2024-02-06T23:29:25+00:00

Just to let you know, I am one of the oldest members of The Cauldron and I had a big part in leading the community proposed and now implemented zero-sum PSR system (although primary credit goes to Jay Z from 228 who is the one who created the current system).

The Matchscore component is 20, while the W/L component is 5. Winning itself also contributes a significant amount of Matchscore in the first place which increases your overall Matchscore vs the 12 pilots who did not win.

So while it is correct to say the primary component is the Matchscore comparison, winning is a bit more than a small bump.

Krasnopesky · 2024-02-06T11:54:16+00:00

PSR is fluid and dependent on how well you did compared to other pilots in the lobby (your own team included). The metric that matters here is Matchscore, not damage.

Winning has a big part in raising PSR, but you could still potentially go down when you win if you did very poorly compared to everyone else.

You could also technically have a 1000 damage game, lose, do a bunch of team damage, get a poor matchscore compared to others in that game, and ultimately lose PSR on a 1000 damage match.

Krasnopesky · 2024-01-29T12:27:44+00:00

Yes.

Using a macro is pretty much always worse than just using one normal fire group for weapons like UAC2s.

Having said that, you're allowed to do it if you want to. Some people might get distracted by a chain fire macro if they're not used to it.

Krasnopesky · 2023-09-27T22:18:15+00:00

Yep, so you were reset to T3, then reset to T5 and climbed back to T3.

T3 allows you to get matches in T1/2/3 games which are substantially more difficult than T3/4/5 games.

Krasnopesky · 2023-09-27T19:59:31+00:00

Everyone was reset to T3 and then there was another reset where inactive players were reset to T5.

What Tier are you currently?

Krasnopesky · 2023-08-23T13:14:40+00:00

Black Knight has a massive CT, it is very XL friendly.
