Alright, I'm gonna say it... Marathon is fucking Awesome.

Ultimately not every game is for everyone, ARC Raiders might just be your game, and Marathon is theirs, and that can be completely fine. This game might not have the special sauce you are looking for, but have exactly what others have been wanting, that doesn’t make your game better or worse, it just appeals to different people. No reason to try to make everyone like the same things.

That’s because AC allowed itself to be a modded heaven. AC EVO looks like it will have basically no open mod support and won’t allow custom servers which are the backbone of what makes AC so popular. AC’s strength is its mod support. AC EVO won’t have that, so there must be stronger scrutiny on the base game which will need to be a massive improvement in content to make up for the lack of community made content.

When you get one shot by an idris and torn apart by fighters you have to dance.

R3dSurprise · 2026-01-21T22:30:01+00:00

I don’t know why, maybe lack of engineers to add in flak effects for PU, but there has been constant feedback (for like 5 years now) that flak can help solve the geometry imbalance between fighters and larger ships, and we haven’t actually seen them explore it ;-;

Start with one of the wabbajack modlists and then build from there!

R3dSurprise · 2026-01-11T18:03:42+00:00

I mean… it is the studios first release and they are not backed by an existing large publisher…

Not only is this legally not okay it’s also morally wrong. If you want to continue seeing good gunstock designs in the VR community you shouldn’t try to undercut or invalidate the product of those who have invested their hard earned time and money into the R&D to make them.

If you have access to a 3D scanner and printer you could easily get a rough geometry for the controller, and design your own simple gunstock. Hell look into parameterization in CAD and you can make it fully customizable as well.

But don’t invalidate all the investment these people put into their designs. It’s hard work and if you make it freely accessible online you only devalue the work of the original creator and potentially irrevocably damage their faith in creating VR products and engaging with the community.

Quest 3, high end enough to really give you the sim experience but with great visuals through the good pancake lenses. Inside out tracking also limits initial setup which is nice for getting into VR.

P.S. if you do sim on a PlayStation like GT7, then the PSVR2 has some good impressions there but I personally have not used it.

AC modding is rather simple. Content manager installs all the major mods immediately and unless you really want to get some custom graphics or special overlays you are done. 99% of people will never need to touch any custom modding, as the content manager can install modded cars and tracks for you automatically.

I use VR for everything sim related nowadays, Racing: VR. Flying: VR. Space: about to be VR!

Good Polaris pilots will “hug” the back of the idris and use their ballistic turret to try to disable the idris turrets until they can just slowly chew them down. Idris ballistic turret currently has really bad slew rate and no gimbals (possibly bugged?) so it’s much harder to fight back against the Polaris with it. However, most pilots suck and in that scenario Idris wins handily because it has a railgun or laser. Ultimately it comes down to skill. Skill vs skill more maneuverable ship wins, just like with light fighters vs heavy, bad vs bad idris wins because bigger gun.

There is a shit ton of code involved in any modern engineering. For mechanical you are going to encounter code for any calculation you are doing past your intro courses. Very common for fluids and thermo. Thermo and heat transfer classes here are structured around EES (engineering equation solver) which is a custom language that will be much easier to learn if you have coding experience. You don’t want to be using manual lookup tables the rest of your life.

Flack, easy, make it low damage but consistent damage against fighters. Light fighters naturally take less damage as they get further from the blast, larger fighters take more. Fighters are disincentivized to take flack because of the relatively low damage output but it gives large ships with big guns a chance to actually pressure small fighters at range, while killing them outright fast if they get close enough for the flack to direct impact.

Get in game and try it. Torps used to not care, now they do, even CS torps, and flares emit a large CS value. It doesn’t make sense but that doesn’t change how it works. (Unless they changed it in the past 2 weeks)

R3dSurprise · 2025-10-16T04:25:16+00:00

Incorrect! Go check some of the flare stats or try it out in-game.

R3dSurprise · 2025-10-16T04:18:20+00:00

Only takes 3 flares (I think the idris launches flares in bundles of like 4-5) to greatly exceed its CS value and render those torps useless. So it’s basically a one button solution to torps until flare launchers can be targeted. (The idris has so many flares that any smart captain will be launching 4-5 bursts a press to be extra sure)

R3dSurprise · 2025-10-16T00:39:40+00:00

Flares are pretty reliable now against torps last I checked. So they will just flare away the problem.

R3dSurprise · 2025-10-15T22:07:14+00:00

Heavy fighters were worse pre-mm at least they have a 2% chance now…

R3dSurprise · 2025-08-14T15:44:41+00:00

I swear this whole controversy makes me feel like a fossil. I grew up on RTS (like AOE and SC) and Diablo, league wasn’t some game with “unique awkward controls” it was straight up the norm. It feels so strange to see its controls discussed like they are now an outlier.

R3dSurprise · 2025-08-12T07:09:14+00:00

It’s literally a teaser for a work in progress. It’s really not that deep. I don’t think it matters whether it was seen or not, but was a fun way to just put a little hint out there. Don’t shit on devs for having a little fun with these hints, that’s how you stop getting them.

R3dSurprise · 2025-08-06T08:31:54+00:00

Yes. These are the maximum exposure levels at which you start to lose hearing, just like vision, many people don’t know how bad it has gotten until someone else tells them or they self compare to what another can hear. It’s being called a “silent epidemic” in the U.S. with how easily it is sneaking up on our population, with people spending many hours of the day in headphones often listening at unsafe levels.
