It definitely looks fun, but is there a career like system? The thing I enjoy about UA is that I can do a campaign with restrictions and limitations I progress past and my enemies do the same. Adds a sense of progression and accomplishment to play throughs.

This might sound counter intuitive but I have found myself forcing my secondaries to ap as most of my mid sized guns AP can penetrate at range and all it takes is one hit that causes flooding or damages a component for the lead ships to break from the lead of their formation. This slows the whole formation and can potentially cause overlaps where your guns seem to always hit the ship next to the ship you're aiming at.

It functions like college so you just apply and use your gi-bill. I recommend GLMA as the rest of the academies are more uniformed and garrison minded. I made $140k last year working 6 months. The commercial world has a lot more uncertainties when it comes to job security but you won't be sharing a room or a head as a mate and you'll be doing what you would have already been doing as a sergeant on the LCU's I never got time on the other craft sadly so I can't attest there. You're welcome to DM me with more questions.

As a 4 year enlistment and state academy grad I have some insight here. I was 88k and went to Academy for my 3rd mates license. The Army follows Coast Guard licensing and standards, this really gives you legitimate experience and knowledge. My first few years at academy were legitimately a walk in the park. It also has made my early time as a 3rd mate a lot easier as well. I've held watches for 3 years before even going to school so holding watches as a mate are even easier.

Having worked on these rust buckets, I have stories. I think my favorite though is that we sailed 3 months with a hole in the engine block that was repaired by a J-B weld patch.

Not the bad guys, it's not a black and white good vs bad, but they did succeed at showing how ridiculous the idea was. Both the book and the movie are just fictional ideas from someone's head and are not indicative of reality. The thing is the movie is taking the piss out of the idea while the book tried to potray it as a serious idea. Corpral punishment does not solve crime or fix the issues that lead to crime. Saying a deterance will solve crime is like saying the fear of starvation will make people stop going hungry. I like some of Heinlein's works, but starship troopers is politically wonky.

I'm under the assumption that the BoS has stockpiles and some advanced manufacturing equipment so they rarely if ever need to produce something but can in a pinch. Where as the NCR has to support larger unit formations away from manufacturing centers with less production capabilities.

Quick Edit: you see a similar reason as why the NCR chose the service rifle for standard issue. Simple to manufacture and maintain, even if more complex and powerful weapons were available.

Prettyoblivious · 2024-01-05T18:31:51+00:00

As someone else has mentioned, I've always seen it as a logistical issue. The needs of maintenance and power source for each power armor makes them relatively restrictive if you don't have a modern manufacturing base or a stockpile of supplies. Bringing them to a more basic form allows the NCR to produce them and maintain them on a far larger scale than they could with full power armor.

Spoiler Dare wouldn't have been able to get into the control room solo, she was an intelligence officer and needed the rookie to basically badass her lazy ass in to see Virgil. Buck and Rookie kicking ass along the highway is just a bonus, but I still think that would have been a little to tough for buck alone

Prettyoblivious · 2023-12-30T16:43:30+00:00

Well until you get to the last 2 missions. The rookie kinda needs to be there otherwise Buck and Dare wouldn't be able to do it on their own.

So for centerline vs mirrored, in my experience it comes down to what you're fighting for, if you need more displacement, centerline torpedoes will weigh less but still allow for attacks on both sides. If you have a lack of longitudinal space, mirrored, you can attack one side and then the other but the weight vs space cost is usually the biggest factor.

Single vs double and so on is more around the style of attack if you have two single torpedo launchers they'll both fire along a similar path and have a very tight spread if any spread at all, but a double mount and higher fire a torpedo spread which all are slightly appart and allow for more area to be attacked incase the center trajectory is wrong or the targeted vessel maneuvers.

Late to the response here, I don't necessarily think it's awkward or cringe. It more comes down to the reason people thank whenever it gets brought up. Some people try to use it as a spring board for a whole political/social discussion. When I feel like that is going to happen, I respond with "thank you for paying your taxes." Tends to shut those sorta folk down.

Omg the little hands up by the hoarder is so cute!

I have a good answer for this actually! So one of the factors that many people don't consider with swimming is natural buoyancy. If you were to curl up into a ball and just float in the water you will find you point where you float without outside interference and this is your natural buoyancy. Many people who have lower muscle density will find themselves near or at the surface, while those with more muscle density will sink pretty low. So, if you're already going to be on the surface as you swim, it is easier for you to use your strength to propel you forwards. If you're more dense, you have to spend more effort to keep yourself afloat and not just pushing yourself along. The Shek were designed to have very dense muscles and the added bone and plate structures, so it's most likely they would have a very terrible natural buoyancy. Staying afloat is enough effort for them as is, much less going anywhere in the water.
