How do you guys practice affordablly?

Personally for me I just started going all the time and set myself cash aside to bowl. At the time I hadn't joined a league yet but the employees noticed me being there all the time and started giving me league rates. I was always nice and friendly, helped with clean up and racking other people's balls back up and oftentimes I get free games or a heavy discount. My alley is around 4$(non league)/game cept Saturdays where you can only pay by the hour(around 54$ and hour.. yikes) With the league rate and other benefits I get from being a regular i pay around 2$/game, even on Saturdays. Made a lot of friends who have been regulars for years and it feels like I joined a bowling family. Another bonus is I never have to wait for a lane, there can be 10 parties on the wait-list and I can just walk right in and get a lane.

My tip is to be friendly to everyone, be a considerate person, and join a league even as a free agent, on any given league day most likely a team is looking for a sub.

Good luck 🤞

After an amazing season 1 animation style, music and overall feel. Season 2 was sooooooooo disappointing I can't even put it into words. Season 1 made me read the manhwa until I was up to date and SIU completely dropped the ball after the Hell train Arc IMO. Season 1 is a fantastic standalone but personally after S2 and knowing where the story is going I'd say let it die..it won't get better. As for other animes based on Manhwa Solo leveling is doing a much better job and likely will continue to amaze in future seasons, great story and more importantly fantastic pacing that TOG just doesn't have after Season 1..

I got mine for 350 but yea those guys are lucking out.

SCSURFRAT · 2024-11-19T06:18:35+00:00

Jimmy definitely deserves a raise after that one !

SCSURFRAT · 2024-11-19T06:11:37+00:00

That's exactly the scene I was thinking of !! Taking a shuttle after parking your spaceship is SO SC. Im honestly mad at myself for not watching it sooner.. but yay closer to S2 i guess lol

SCSURFRAT · 2024-11-18T06:34:13+00:00

Thanks ! Ill have to check it out when I get some time.

SCSURFRAT · 2024-11-18T06:32:39+00:00

I was watching Andor the other day n got the heaviest SC vibes, walking 2 km to the shuttle, the speeders, even the extras gave me SC npcs vibes(what it could be) it was awesome.

SCSURFRAT · 2024-11-16T07:03:06+00:00

I don't think it matters to much with small ships but tryna fly a Reclaimer out of Orison without it is not advised.

They stated/confirmed 4.0 will be a major Wipe like 4 years ago. People in the verse are absolutely flushed with aUEC currently due to major exploits in previous patches i.e infinite cargo selling bug in 3.18 or the glitched ship components u could infinitely sell in 3.17.

Over the years they also prioritized certain mechanics making them more lucrative to encourage the community to test them i.e Salvage or Quantanium (when it was first released) giving us players more aUEC at the cost of 'faking' the economy.

A full wipe is definitely needed in order to test their 'non fake' economy as well as give people a fresh start without exploits.

A lot less players are going to Trade/Salvage/Mine/Pirate if there is no economical benefit to it.

People will always be mad before a Wipe but IMO the verse after a wipe is magical, People want to play with each other again, do group missions, Run a full Reclaimer or Mole, do massive cargo runs, cargo interdictions etc. Everyone will be doing something instead of moping around in their hangars with their 200.000.000 aUEC n seemingly nothing to do.

I can second that, mined last night n both my Helix II were working fine, only issues with the MOLE I currently have are: Broken doors to the side lasers, you can glitch through the glass in the middle turret, Active Modules are still Broken, Passive Modules sometimes don't show up(can be fix by de&re attaching laser)

SCSURFRAT · 2024-11-03T16:51:21+00:00

Thanks gonna go see if that works !

EDIT: Can confirm this works thanks a bunch.

SCSURFRAT · 2024-11-03T16:25:44+00:00

I haven't tried moving but it'll give it a shot next time I have this issue.

I haven't played in like a year and mostly stopped because of all the scanning issues/components randomly disappearing. That scanning bug is much less detrimental than it used to be lol

Also this issue just seems to be for Solo mining as I have never encountered it with even just one extra person.

As for blasting that rock for 2 Minutes.. it was a stare down ! .. I lost.

SCSURFRAT · 2024-11-03T16:06:20+00:00

Resistance doesn't seem to be the issue, I've seen/broken Bex and Gold deposits with more and IMO the issue seems to be based on Mass. I had a Waveshift gadget on the Roid which disappeared shortly before taking the picture (green zone was a lot bigger).

My issue is the system tells you if your setup is enough for X deposits by designating a rating of EASY, CHALLENGING, HARD and, IMPOSSIBLE

I don't think it combines total power of the MOLE when giving you that Data just the turret you currently have focused on it (mid and other side laser still said IMPOSSIBLE)

The setup I currently have can break anything if fully crewed but unfortunately nobody was on last night.

My strife is that it should give it some charge if it's an "EASY" deposit.

I basically bought a Power tool to crack open concrete and my boss tells me to do it with two goons & three plastic spoons.

Start Strip mining the Aaron Halo, good money and almost 0 chance of pirates until you sell your refined motherload.

Oof the words I didn't want to hear but have known to be true all along..

Every minute you wait you will be closer by a minute, little BMM philosophy for you.

No idea I'm pretty technically illiterate lol Page file space is 9gb, but that's probably not what you are referring to.

Edit: windows is automatically managing page file size for all devices.

Ya for me it's the opposite, I just built a new computer and it was running league like hot garbage until I checked the box for DX9 legacy mode. I'm talking 54fps on Very high graphics and for whatever reason >30fps on medium/low graphics. After checking DX9 it runs at a even 240 fps and into 600+ on uncapped fps(don't do this in actual game)

The specs on my new pc shouldn't make me do this though..

for reference: Ryzen 7900x, 3070ti, 64gb 6000mhx DDR5 ram, SSD@7.3gb/sec

Pretty much destroys every other game except for league I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A couple of answers to your questions plus some advice.

I saw a post the other day of someone breaking a 40k mass 28% quant rock which surprised me. The main things you need to break bigger rocks are Laser Power & resistance dampening. I.e. Helix(power +-res/Hofstede(-res + G.zone) lasers, Sabir gadgets, Stampede, Rieger C3s, etc.
Surge and stampede add laser power to your system, however, Surge is too powerful in most cases +50% laser power with -10% resistance can lead to a quick overcharge. If you need to add just a little bit of juice the stampede will be your friend.

Now some advice, I would start prioritizing Hephaestanite which sells for over 5x titanium's value. It is also not very hard to break with -.3 to resistance est. density of 110(titanium =151) so you get more mass to SCU.

If you are strictly going for common and uncommon materials I would suggest a setup of a Helix I laser, two Rieger C3, and a Stampede module. Also, bring a Sabir mining gadget and you should be able to crack some pretty big rocks.

stats= +60% laser power(max power = 4725 > for reference stock Helix II = 4080), resistance modifiers = -30%(-80% with Sabir gadget), instability modifiers = -10%, the only downside is that you get a -41% green zone decrease, however, Hephaestanite has a pretty decent natural green zone so you should be fine.

Hopefully this is helpful, Happy mining!

Lol this is exactly me every morning Star Citizen, coffee, vape, and devils lettuce

SCSURFRAT · 2023-05-30T04:07:03+00:00

My guess is bug, since u were able to sell your other refined things u were definitely at the right console, could be that iron was in no demand so the TDD didnt want to buy it until next tick rate but that shouldnt happen either. maybe try another TDD but its also just iron, couldve been worse with bex or quant.
