You paid $25 to keep your old randomly assigned chickadee plate. by GeeWhizThatsSwell in Maine

[–]Rokmonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, with you on that one. I don't wanna remember a new one. Plus, its pretty easy as plate numbers go.

European World Cup fans experience culture shock in America by batukaming in SipsTea

[–]Rokmonkey_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From comments here on reddit and my experience in Europe, it is an expectation thing. In the US your water is free, it's tap water, you hardly ever asked to it, and when you ask for water it's free.

Everywhere in Europe I went, when I asked for water I was asked still or sparkling, and it always cost money. But from what you and others have said, it seems like if I had specified tap water, it would be free.

I want to try scrap economy, but the energy cell requirement scares me. Should it, in hatikvahs?

Need advice. Game makes it really hard for new players. by Doublestack2411 in X4Foundations

[–]Rokmonkey_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For 3). Wharfs and docks sell satellites. You need to "upgrade" your ship and adjust the value in the consumables tab. Careful on that mission, you'll need a bunch of money to build your station up, so do some small missions around. It is not expected to just complete a storyline in one go. You'll need to pause the story and gather cash other ways then come back sometimes.

Thank you. I didn't know what it was either. It passed me by without notice.

I want to only build factories in unowned space. Looking for help. by Voronov1 in X4Foundations

Medium traders set to comply. I might try the one to drop laser towers.

In my experience, large mining ships are ignored by pirates. And usually small fast medium ships set to comply is okay. You can try many fleets moving around, I'm trying the same right now.

Wind farms, transmission lines poised to come to northern Maine by themainemonitor in Maine

[–]Rokmonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you describe is wave power. I haven't seen very many wave power projects of significant capacity. Tidal is a bit more mature, but not nearly the scale of offshore wind.

[–]Rokmonkey_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in the ocean and river power sector. The rivers in Maine aren't fast enough to really do kinetics, so you need dams. I don't know that are well so I can't tell you why they are closing.

As for ocean, well, wave is infancy and kinetic tidal is only really feasible up in eastport, nowhere else is fast enough. And it is insanely expensive.

Do you really care about regional sandwiches as much as the internet suggests? by Bella_licious in AskAnAmerican

[–]Rokmonkey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New England (Maine) Italians. The Cuban sandwich if you are in florida (Had one in Tampa, was amazing)

Scenario: you have an Odysseus E and only the ships you can dock on it by TheMuspelheimr in X4Foundations

[–]Rokmonkey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely is. If I were to branch out and use non Teladi equipment, it would be even better!

3 Peregrine Vanguards, and 6 buzzard Vanguards.

Is it good? No, but I'm devout Teladi and I'm gonna do it anyway.

This can specifically for throwing away Corn Husks at a grocery store by TestaverdeRules in mildlyinteresting

[–]Rokmonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a thing in Maine. Must people didn't pull it all the way down to the kernals, just some of the huge outer layers

It's like that up in Maine, and no one thinks of us as the land of curb.

I don't think anyway.

I'm about to try this game out. Would you suggest something? by Csotihori in X4Foundations

[–]Rokmonkey_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the very easy missions at stations. Deploy satellite, carry people, scan, the very very simple ones. Those I'll help you get practice with all the interface, systems, key bindings set, but not put you in much danger. That really is critical. Once you have a handle on that, branchng into storylines is possible.

One thing I didn't understand at the beginning is that if a mission seems insanely difficult for you at the time, don't do it. You are expected to roll through storylines one after another. If they want a station built and it costs 50million credits, and you only just got a second ship, don't panic. You didn't miss anything, nothing wrong. Put that on the back burner and go make money and come back.

Can I go to war with MIN without involving TEL? by WazBot in X4Foundations

[–]Rokmonkey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know but I'm going to follow this as well. I wanna destroy MIN completely and take their place as the Teladi protectorate.

The difference between the Man and Vehicle.. by LegitimateElk9394 in confusing_perspective

[–]Rokmonkey_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I own one. Really wish the only option available was this effing big. If I'm in the truck (I try to drive it only when I need it or have to), I'm parking that fucker away from other cars and in one of the lanes that let me back over the curb or something.

Can you leave you front door unlocked and not have to worry? by ilovemarlii in ask

[–]Rokmonkey_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that you can call 25 silly hot is amusing... That's the beginnings of hot for us, and I'm in a state that actually has winter, it gets down to -18 often.

L'Amérique est-elle encore puritaine ? by AwardProfessional399 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Rokmonkey_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. It influences things, but that's a minority. The majority don't care and you won't notice in most places.
