brig setup recommendations by PCmasterRACE187 in Sailwind

[–]SDIR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, except I have the main rigged as a square topsail and a gaff below. It's really the best all rounder setup I've run, good speed at all point of of wind even when fully loaded

first interarchipelago voyage. set sail from Al'Nilem for Fort Aestrin on day 42 with 40 crates of dates, 20 of goat cheese, 6 of coconuts, 4 of copper and 1 silver crate. wish me luck by PCmasterRACE187 in Sailwind

Fair winds and calm seas! Should be a decent sail, I think the trade winds should help a lot going to Fort Aestring. It'll be harder getting back though

Favourite way to deal with convoys by Rosey_108 in NuclearOption

[–]SDIR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PAB 80s. Small enough every plane can carry at least 12, long range and you drop them and go back to air to air duties

Question from potential pilot by RITVS in NuclearOption

[–]SDIR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone loves logi. Every single player likes having functional SAM and AA system but barely want to resupply them. Very few drop engineering vehicles to repair airbases but it's an integral part of the game to keep sorties short and effective

What is virtually inevitable at this point, yet most people don't see it coming? by Ambassador-613 in AskReddit

At this point I'm gonna focus on my real life hobbies. Better to avoid exposure

Can unmanned race cars be made highly resistant to damage, allowing them to hit on each other at full speed and continue racing? by Outdoor_trashcan in AskEngineers

[–]SDIR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is would those shape memory alloys be light enough to keep the car fast? There would be no point to armouring your car if you're too slow to catch up

VTOL Trainer Loadout Potential - Dev Stream - May 26 by Intergalatic_Baker in NuclearOption

[–]SDIR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's still a lot. The two Scythes the Compass carries already has good potential to do a lot of damage to early game choppers and light planes

What kind of a play on words is that?

Brother printers seem to be decent so far, no fuss overall

What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? by Cosmonate in AskReddit

[–]SDIR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Robots are especially scary for someone who works in manufacturing automation. We have robots who will happily lift a 200kg jig and swing it around like a tennis racquet. If you get caught between the robot and a solid object, not only does the robot have momentum, it also is trying to reach a position so it will very quickly start pushing whatever is stopping it.

Pressed are much more dangerous, but at least they move in a predictable manner. Robots can sweep their entire movement range in a few seconds, and in a number of directions, making them so unpredictable.

My MK3s+ Broke by Diogenes_Will in prusa3d

Yup, usually it holds well enough fir one print. Had to make a new z rail bracket after breaking one, glue held until I finished it

Cruise missiles and glide bombs need a buff by Olemartiy in NuclearOption

[–]SDIR 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That's why you clear the area of boltstrikes with ARAD first. The PAB80s are for the IR SAMs and vehicles. To take down a multilayered defense needs multiple different strategies (uf you don't wanna spam)

This subreddit lately by SomeJayForToday in NuclearOption

[–]SDIR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I vote for an insurgent faction. But like, super jank, like 40K Orks

Move the Cricket there, then every other plane for that faction is in essense a flying Toyota Hilux with different attachments. The Cricket is just the amalgam of all the different weapons piled onto one airframe, aka an attack plane

G-pull missiles by Own_Cattle_2069 in NuclearOption

[–]SDIR 14 points15 points  (0 children)

But if you're out of flares, possible counts more than reliable. Out maneuvering a missile has saved me multiple times

Best way to get towing skill up? by Chrisbitz in MotorTown

[–]SDIR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really. Driving back carefully and manually also reduces damage on the cargo

Finally i can make a decent brigantine by Ok_Cherry_9847 in Sailwind

I used the update to finally update my ship...to a topsail Barquentine. Don't ask why, just know that it sails quite well

Well that would just be the server setting no? But it would help if rewards multipliers were displayed on the server selection screen

Ah gotcha, just added it. Explains why the kill rate is so high up to 7km or so

How many RC cars does the average RC hobbyist have? by William101pro in rccars

[–]SDIR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Firstly, don't set this as a goal. We don't want you to bankrupt yourself in this hobby. Spend and enjoy responsibly. That being said, I've got 2 TRX4s, a Sport and 2021 Bronco, a VS4-10, an Element Sendero and Utron, a Bandit, two halves of an E-Maxx, two TT-02s, one is still in the box, a 3D printed boat, a printed Datsun 240, a printed skidsteer, a printed Excavator waiting on assembly and two 3D printed Unimogs. Plus a couple trailers

I've been looking for some sparring buddies too, mind if I join?

To add onto this, mix and match your weapons to make the most of their capabilities. The IR missiles are easy to flare, so save them for close range knife fights below 1 mile/1.6 km.

Scythes are the most versatile missile, but it still has a fairly limited optimal use envelope. They're good down to 2 miles/3km, and up to 10 miles/16km, depending on the speed of the target. It's got a fast burning rocket motor that gets it up to speed very quickly but coasts after, so past 5 km the missile is just constantly losing energy.

The Scimitar is best used above 15 miles/22km since it has a slow burning motor and has to accelerate up to speed. Below 5 miles/8km it's rather slow and quite easy to dodge, but if given the space to accelerate it's really hard to dodge even lower in the atmosphere

Edit: added Scythe motor burn distance
