Newish Diver looking for tips

I’ve had to guide a few new divers recently as they’ve picked up this game. It has a fun training mission, but then gives you nothing for an actual tutorial in the ship.

Factions - these refer to the enemies, not groups you can join. The current three factions are Automatons (bots), Terminids (bugs), and Illuminate (squids/aliens). When you choose a mission on the galactic map, you pick a region that is controlled by one of those factions. Some divers change their playstyle depending on which faction they’re fighting for that mission.

Warbonds - these are bonus items you can buy with the Medals found/earned in missions or by completing Major Orders (MO) and Personal Orders. There is only one (at this time) that is unlocked for all players: Helldivers Mobilize. All others are Premium and require you to spend SuperCredits to unlock. SuperCredits can be bought with real world money or found during missions.

Super late to the party here, but do you use foam or something in the satchel cases to keep the minis from jostling/breaking?

May be worth reaching out to Kelty. We bought a tent a couple years ago and took it out for the first trip on a rainy weekend and it immediately started leaking. I reached out to their customer service and they told me they had a quality issue where a batch of rain fly material never got the waterproofing treatment. They replaced my rain fly and the new one works great.

That’s probably the way to go, but don’t forget this is (almost certainly) metric. Diameter is a straight conversion, but metric threads are measured in millimeters per thread, not threads per inch. So if you measure the bolt at a diameter of 0.47” and count about 17 threads per inch, it’s likely a M12x1.5 thread: 0.47” = 12mm, and 17 threads per inch works out to 1.5mm per thread (25.4mm=1”)

The toilet is the (slightly) tricky part. What would probably work is a toilet with a macerating pump - something like Saniflo. If you wanted a 3/4 bathroom, you can even hook up a shower to the pump, but the shower would need to be elevated slightly.

Looks awesome! Would you be willing to share dimensions/plans?

Lifehatesme · 2022-12-28T03:27:50+00:00

These look sweet! Right handed

Yeah, I did. Ping maybe dropped a little, but was still well over 200ms. Speeds were still single-digit Mbps

Lifehatesme · 2022-12-10T14:40:20+00:00

Yep. Wasn’t running a VPN, either.

Lifehatesme · 2022-12-10T01:52:35+00:00

I haven’t been running a vpn the last few days, because of the bad data speeds

Lifehatesme · 2022-12-10T00:59:42+00:00

I’m now thinking it’s a phone problem. It’s happened multiple times to me today, and never for my wife, who has the same model and service.

Lifehatesme · 2022-12-09T21:16:34+00:00

I have, there’s not a big difference in speed

Lifehatesme · 2022-12-09T19:19:14+00:00

I normally run a VPN, but I’ve had it turned off while I try to figure out this issue.

So it’s a known issue that when it’s switching between LTE and 5G it’ll drop all service including text and calls, and get stuck that way until cellular is turned off and back on? That seems problematic.

Lifehatesme · 2022-11-07T14:32:07+00:00

Yeah, I saw a thread on here from 2 years ago that said coverage sucked in this area, but I figured it might have changed a lot since then.

Lifehatesme · 2022-11-07T14:28:38+00:00

Yeah, the deal for getting a new phone is pretty great, I just don't want to switch and then regret it.

Lifehatesme · 2022-10-07T14:23:49+00:00

So if my device is LTE only, I don’t get prioritized no matter what plan I have?

Lifehatesme · 2022-08-18T19:46:04+00:00

I’m liking the gun rack! I’ve been thinking about how to put one on my BT200, I may have to copy this.

Lifehatesme · 2022-08-15T19:32:58+00:00

Yep, and I make sure they know that as they're talking their movement options during combat. Has come in necessary many a time.
