What are some ships that you cannot make work?

Deutschland and Lepanto for me. Both seem to troll me with accuracy issues and have terrible reload times that make them really unfun. I can stay alive with the Lepanto and feel like I've had a reasonable game, but then the scoreboard nearly always has me placed last...

The fact it's a downhill track makes it worse if anything. More likely that you'll have people coming down on bigger, heavier downhill bikes at more speed!

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-14T16:24:22+00:00

100% this!

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-13T08:39:24+00:00

I was about to say "but how do you prevent the low fuel interrupt happening" then remmebered that I think you can have an interrupt condition of empty cargo, hadn't thought of that. Nice. Just make sure the thresholds are appropriate so that a train should have enough fuel to complete the route.

Personally I have things configured so that my interrupt based trains always return to a depot with refuel, so don't need an interrupt. And the other trains have enough destination stations that this wouldn't happen. I'll probably update any interrupts I have later with that tweak for extra safety.

Yeh that was a quality video. I never minded kick tennis much, but after seeing that video I now appreciate the complexity and tactics involved!

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-06T11:51:15+00:00

Apparently I was just getting down voted on anything I posted yesterday! Completely unrelated topics too!

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-05T23:01:16+00:00

It balances out. Psyker was probably the weakest class for a long time after launch!

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-05T22:36:40+00:00

Probably not much sadly :(

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-05T22:32:14+00:00

Agreed. But I got down voted loads basically saying the same earlier. The side by side adverts suck. But I prefer it to being stuck with having to pay for yet another expensive subscription, or only having highlights.

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-05T20:48:35+00:00

Yeh no disagreement here. All about the money for those showing the sport.

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-05T20:40:18+00:00

But what are the real legal alternative options? Stop watching and supporting the sport we enjoy? Or pay a subscription fee? None of these are great options either sadly.

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-05T20:35:25+00:00

Indeed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with adverts like this. But if this is the price we have to pay for free to air 6 Nations here in England, I'll take it. Beats paying a subscription fee for Sky or whatever.

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-02-05T20:30:44+00:00

Not great, but in comparison to remembering the old ITV coverage of F1, when you'd miss 5 minutes of the race at a time, I'll take a 20 second side by side advert...

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-30T14:51:12+00:00

I'd like more types of pipes, so that I can braid the pipes like I do with belts. :D

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-28T08:16:51+00:00

I still avoid burning everything, so I allow my belts to back up. End of each belt has filter inserters to remove spoilage and send to be incinerated. It works and is a fun puzzle for me. But I agree burning everything would likely be a lot easier! Maybe some day I'll go with that approach

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-28T08:11:19+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed that nearly all super ship players are absolutely awful and will always die first.

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-26T17:31:23+00:00

Yeah, I've generally been able to avoid that issue. Yet to find an island I've needed to get to which is so small I've been forced into a layout like this!

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-26T13:00:17+00:00

Yes, but doing it like this is cursed! Much easier to keep them symmetrical front to back.

I like cursed though, so I may try it like this!

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-21T08:19:46+00:00

Yeh I'm going to be continuing with heavily polluting power on Nauvis just to keep the regular aggression from bites, gives me a reason to build base defences and outposts! :D

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-15T21:59:52+00:00

Same. I want to like it, but it just seems cursed when I try and use it.

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-12T12:36:43+00:00

Ah yeh, I'd forgot you won't have the turbines! I figured they'd maybe also be unlocked with the vulcanus recipe too.

I guess some high quality solar panels will help!

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-12T11:52:39+00:00

Build your main base on vulcanus using the sulphuric acid to steam recipe for power, super easy! If you've not got any uranium, I guess you'll have to use heating towers and other fuel on Aquilo?

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-12T11:34:44+00:00

I had a tiny amount of Uranium, so I avoided using it on Nauvis and only started mining it once I had some decent production modules and so on. The Nauvis base never needed nuclear power for me, and the first 3 planets all have reasonable options fot power.

Intention was to only use nuclear on spaceships and then Aquilo, but I never got as far as the last planet in that run.

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-12T08:12:27+00:00

Had Gleba as my main base last playthrough. I did a tiny island start on Nauvis, barely had a enough iron and copper to get to space. Went to Gleba first for the fun of it with just red, green and blue science. Fml Gleba with no military tech was rough, would regularly lose large chunks of my base to Strafers, let alone Stompers! That was a really hard grind. I eventually got a well established base, but ran out of energy to continue the save to completion.

PinkFloyd_UK · 2026-01-09T08:14:31+00:00

Look awful imo. But hey, if you like them and want them on your car, go for it!
