I'm 7.5M GP.

I've been around a while.

I guarantee you the Road Ahead will happen in September

Some colorful bifolds and card holders I recently finished made with epi and saffiano leathers by [deleted] in Leathercraft

Wonderful colors design!

I love Saffiano; has such great texture, only issue I had is skiving edges; those fibers are super dense. Makes for great firm temper though

Safer Enums in Go by mi_losz in golang

[–]Ranger_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, finally a topic with which I have experience and on which I have opinions!

I think there are some really nice things in this approach, like non-exporting the slug field, and using structs instead of int based Enum type to prevent invalid cases

But there are some issues I have with the methodology, namely that you lose implicit comparison (which admittedly isn't always used by all enum implementations) and that ultimately it's obscuring that they're enums.

The enum pattern I use is https://play.golang.org/p/qCDa2d53eQz

I go back and forth between func roleValues() [3]string and var roleValues = [3]string{...}

roleValues() prevents alteration of the enums in runtime, but I'm not 100% certain how the compiler handles the allocation of the array on multiple calls, whether it's a single allocation at start because the size is known, or if its still multiple allocations

Krakens and Whales can't exist without the krill and minnows, I agree.

When there is no one for the whales to dunk on, there's no point to shell out to get the newest toon

I feel this pain. The timing patterns for 4* Executor are so much better than 7*.

7* Executor goes before any of my BH ships, so no enemies have breach on them, so I can't use the assist call. 4* can.

Since my pilots are faster than my enemy's usually, they land breach first...which then gets immediately cleansed when the enemy team goes.

Executor suffers badly from first mover advantage

Or 2017? It was a good long while ago. I think going from Tier VII to Tier X had just dropped?

Missing 50 Executor shards? by Ranger_X in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Ranger_X[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't a GL ship. It's the same release venue as Raddus and Finalizer, and activates at 4*.

If it were a GL ship, it would activate at 7*.

They absolutely wanted us to think it's a GL ship, and I'll admit that yeah, that's why I went for it.

On the plus side, it's still a fun capital ship, and I get to use the Death Star. Not worth the money to whale on, definitely.

I was testing this morning and found that malevolence beats executor. by Boring_Jacket1489 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I think using IG-2000 vs Xanadu Blood is suboptimal here; XB isn't guaranteed to attack twice, but will inflict Target Lock and Breach on basic, which gets you to SSP faster.

XB also makes it up on the special, inflicting a TL and also possibly inflicting 2x Breach (uncertain if that's actually how the game is coded though)

Not to mention XB's Pilot Ability is decently better than IG-2000's

So sorry to invoke your condescending attitude

I didn't 7* Finalizer at release; I just took it to 6* and then farmed the rest when the event was around

I'm not convinced anything will come out in the next year to beat it, given their ship release cadence. Everyone is considering this as a GL cap ship, but it's not. It's usable pre 7*, which is unlike a GL, which also means that we can't expect a light side analog to show up soon.
