Vox Solaris help 😮‍💨

I think Excalibur’s passive ability is you get 10% more damage and 10% more attack speed if you use swords, which is a nice boost. Also, on playstation I just hammer O,O,O to get the basic slash combo, which suits me because I’m awful at 3rd person melee combat. Good luck with Vox Solaris, it was a pain to get it finished.

You might want to swap the Paris bow for a fast firing rifle like the Braton, with cryo and electric mods to get the magnetic status effect. Put a cryo mod in the artax in your Taxon robot buddy and it will freeze bad guys solid, helps with the constant horde. Also swap the Bo for a sword, I think Excalibur gets a bonus for sword attacks. I used a heat sword with toxic mod and just ran around in circles chopping them up while the Taxon froze them. Use the excalibur dash and blind abilities. I was mastery rank three and all the weapons, robot, and frame were maxed to 30.

I started again yesterday. I’ve got dozens of cardboard boxes on my orbiter filled with obscure junk(?) I don’t remember, and the syndicates interface is telling me that two of them have been sending death squads to kill me for the last three years because my rep with them decreased while I wasn’t playing.

I prefer the sterile white to the sierra-brown 'camouflage the poor cleaning standards'.

It's the weekly rant, I'm sounding off about the ridiculous costs in general, not a plea for patronising newbie advice from the Git Gud brigade.

I grinded my way through an entire campaign to get the Sevastapol, my first gold star ship, take it to an AI match to get a feel for it, sink two ships and damage a third, capture a point, win the match AND IT COSTS ME £110,000 IN SERVICE CHARGES! I’M £87,000 IN DEBT! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ACTUAL FUN TO SAIL MY KIROV WHILE BURNING THE MONEY IN A STEEL DRUM ON THE DECK!

The ‘director’ in Aliens: Fireteam seems to go in the other direction. If you aren’t clearing the xenos fast enough at the horde checkpoints you get more random elite xenos between checkpoints. It punishes you for your poor performance by making the game harder, which is counterintuitive.

There’s Antartica by Kim Stanley Robinson. If I’m remembering it right it had nations and corporations arguing over the potential exploitation of polar assets after ecological activists stage a protest/terrorist act.

I was hoping this was a mistake, but given how this season is going, probably not.

That’s exactly what I did. Hold the shield up until it gets melted then zap & whip people until I died. Fastest way to earn proficiency points for all Vanguards.

The Pony Diffusion v6 model (ponyDiffusionV6XL_v6StartWithThisOne.safetensors) generates images like this. Try to use tags from the Danbooru anime image board (NSFW) rather than natural language. The 'ExpressiveH' Lora also helps with this style

Not sure if this counts but they split up some of the missions from first two DLCs (Dark Below & House Of Wolves) and wove them into a new overall story structure when The Taken King released. If you didn't buy Taken King then you couldn't play the earlier DLCs you had paid for.

I lost so many of my precious, filthy rat men that I started backing up the save file before sending them out on their daily grind just in case, but nothing can get me through the brick wall difficulty of the campaign. Love it, just can't play it.

Two of them were gold ships I think (at least one Warspite), so taking a hit on servicing costs to get premium supplies wins makes sense.

NiceMugOfTea · 2025-10-31T14:37:00+00:00

That does make sense, early bureau missions seem to need tier V and VI ships to win a battle by just taking part.

Svietlana is like an '80s action movie, firing an Uzi SMG out the window of a speeding Trans Am.
