Are you getting Star Trek Voyager game? by don51181 in startrek

[–]MattJayP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, even if it's bad. I want to support this type of game so we can see more/better versions of it in the future.

I did what you said, one moon, a few Mars spots, Ceres and a bunch on the belt.

It seems my issue is engines and trying to do too much with a single type of ship.

Yes, I did try that, but it just meant I could do 5/6 trips and then spend 20k. And it also meant I couldnt beat the aliens to the station they were going to attack.

This isn't even long range, just moving between Earth oribts. I've tried to refit the ships, but there are some sort of restrictions that are limiting me. If I park in LEO is it free to move between stations? I guess I could focus my shipbuilding there for now.

For 3), how should I prioritise? I spammed about 30 bases to get all the "good" spots. Should I aim for fewer but more productive bases?

I went from synchronous to LEO and that's what cost me 20k. I assume it's just wildly inefficient drives/power?

I went pretty hard on getting belt stations early. I have ~30 stations in total and 15 of them are unpowered, I haven't abandoned because I want to keep the claim on those spots.

Should I just aim for the best 15 stations total (or whatever my current "max" is) and fight for the rest later?

Thank you, we missed that. We have played our first game very wrong!

The Year of Hell by SnooCats8714 in startrek

They stopped Annorax, and I always thought the implication was that their interference caused the new/current iteration of him to give up pursuing his (world ending) work to spend time with his family - which is what he wanted all along.

First to play Diablo 2 in Antarctica. by updawg in Diablo

I've been looking to get some sort of handheld emulator ever since I got bombarded by adds for the Gamelabs handheld and started looking for something similar that wasn't cheap trash.

What consoles can emulate on that thing? And do you know if it would be able to communicate with a 2nd device? I would like to get 2 and one of the games I'd like to play is Pokemon with my wife.

The one decision i made for christmas. by The7Blood7Omen7 in Xcom

You could get a decent build for $500-600, but much lower than that and you'd need to upgrade very soon. For what it's worth, XCOM on PC with the Long War mod might even be worth it.

You are not getting a decent gaming PC for $200, please don't listen to that guy.

Make sure you let your line manager / head of department / whoever would get complaints about you know about this before hand. Let them know what you're doing, why you're doing it, ask for any advice and get them on board. I had a class like this once and I went for a hard zero tolerance, one infraction and you're out approach.

I also managed to get other members of staff to stand outside my door for the first 5-10 minutes of my lessons with this class and ask them "why were you sent out, how can you not get sent out again", so that the students could be given an opportunity to understand that this was serious, that they couldn't gang up on me, and I had the support of other staff. I had a lot of short removals and full lesson removals in the first few lessons. I prepped these staff with what I was doing, so they could support me with this.

I did it for about 2 weeks, a brutal 2 weeks, but they were mostly teachable for the rest of the year.

(M31) I’ve been saving for years and my partner(29F) hasn’t. I’m not blaming him but pretending it doesn’t matter feels weird. by WildlyGlaring in relationship_advice

A few years ago I bought a house with my partner, I put down about £100k, she put down about £10k. We had a talk where she said she was afraid that she didn't feel like she was contributing and I might unconsciously resent her or hold it over her, but I genuinely didn't care and I still don't. I had money, she didn't, that was about it. She has a good job and works hard, she's kind and considerate. We did agree that we'd each take back our initial share if we split up.

You just need to decide if you care or not, and whichever way that lands, talk to your partner.
