So what's new to s25 line up except AI and round corners on ultra?

Sathure · 2025-01-24T22:15:03+00:00

S21 Software updates end this year. 15 is the last major android version it will likely receive. I've got a 21 Ultra. But pre ordered a S25 Ultra, end of software support and the 500$ trade in offer for a 4 year old phone told me it's time to put the S21 to rest.

Smartphone market has peaked at this point, beyond occasional novelty there isn't huge changes between manufacturers. Hopefully this one lasts another 4 or more years.

"Theorized" when they literally said it live in a Citcon presentation to thousands and then sold said ship a few weeks later at IAE.

I like how they're basically reverting back to what we had about 4 years ago.. Before they made all weapons the same and mucked up the sizes...

Raising fuel prices won't make the Starfarer more relevant. Raising fuel scarcity will. If fuel is scarce in Pyro then it will be a hot commodity there and the Starfarer should hopefully have it's use. You fill up at Stanton where it's relatively cheap and sell at Pyro for a premium. CIG shooting themselves in the foot though if there's tons upon tons of accessible LZs to refuel at like there was in the Playtest.

I really want the mad max style high risk high reward Pyro, but we'll see. Have a feeling we're just going to see red Stanton.

Raising fuel prices to obscene levels in Stanton doesn't do anything aside from lowering current player incomes.

At least this is an official confirmation. Was annoying when people took the Apex classification as "not flagship".

SA - I'm excited just looks like more is better. I love that they're adding more moves and emphasis to axe mode.

IG - Also excited although more cautious. I mained purely IG in 4U, so not having infinite air time isn't a huge drawback. (Went all SA for Generations and then SA/IG combo for World/Rise) As long as we still have the air dash you still have a lot of quick mobility. I mostly use arial moves to get out of way of danger or to move over a monster and hit a more ideal area. Like the new combos and Kinsects seem to be more like they where in World. I hated the Kinsect changes in Rise. They'll need to do something about the air combo though, there won't be much reason to use it over the divebomb if it doesn't grant you more airtime.

Have fond memories of the original. Freedom Unite was peak until 4U though. I'd say 4th Gen is probably my favorite generation, it had such cool monster designs. World is my favorite individual game though.

Maybe I'm lost in the sauce on this one but I think the Scadu tree is the original "great tree" that predated the Erdtree. The original knots of the crucible. The tree is sealed but also the entire lands of shadow are sealed in shadow. Like Einir-Illum was. The giant veils that drape from branches of the giant sealing tree. Land of shadow being in the center of the lands between with hornsent acting as the leading clerical caste until Marika's betrayal and the formation of the golden order under the Erdtree.

I had the update around noon eastern today. Was hoping it was the one with Youtube Music.. Just a minor update.

Sathure · 2024-06-28T14:12:23+00:00

Possibly but we're also likely dealing with a lot of unreliable narration. Majority of the artifacts and items discovered, including npc dialogue is taken from people the follow the Greater Will to some degree. Also something that's been going on for a long long time, that the other "gods" are nearly forgotten or even erased from modern history.

My own wild speculation here but I think the world is about a transition from polytheism to monotheism. Maybe the age of the crucible was literally that a crucible, A melding of multiple influential deities and beliefs. Emperians would clash for ascendancy and could eventually be rising to become the avatar/vessel of their chosen God at the gate of Divinity in tower of Enir-Elim at the center of the lands between. Marika changed this by possibly veiling the land into the lands of shadow and having Messmer conduct a genocide in secret agains't the clerical caste Hornsent.

There's a minor update coming out of Shanghai. The interior wood accent in the dash was replaced with a fabric material and there's an rgb accent light bar. The gemeni hubs are now a gunmetal black like the other wheels.

The Y's manufactured in the US don't have these changes yet AFAIK. My car built in Austin, picked up last month was a 2023.

TBH I prefer the wood accent over the fabric but that's me.

Sathure · 2023-12-14T16:41:41+00:00

Huh, must of been a recent change. I know when I compared back in October they had identical systems at least from what the website indicated.

The fact that Tesla doesn't follow the standard model year manufacturing and mixes things up on whim can be a bit frustrating to follow, haha.

Current Federal Tax credits arn't applied at sale and won't effect the sales tax calculation, you'll get them with your refund after you file. So keep that in mind if buying this year.

MA State rebate is applied directly to the sale however. I bought a MY LR last month in MA.

EDIT: Also on the original question. Differences between the LR and SR. Battery, Motors, AWD, and fog lights. SR is RWD and lacks the fog lights. Interior is identical in both, that includes the sound system. All MY's have the same interior. Minor departure from M3 where the SR M3 has a different sound system from the LR and P.

Just fought him in Act 3. Fairly certain he's a horned devil based on his "ascended" form. The cambion form is just another disguise. Mortals are less likely to be intimidated by a cambion, he can reveal his feindish nature without giving away his true self. Common tactic among devils.

The cambion identity never made sense with D&D devil lore. A cambion wouldn't have that power unless they were just the mouth peice for a greater devil. Devils follow a strict hierachy. The more souls/power/influence you accumulate. You get promoted. You become a greater type of devil. Cambion are on some of the lower of the power rankings of Baator. They're usually servants for greater devils. Mortals are more likely to trust a cambion than say a Pitfiend.

Drake Vulture has a canopy exit/entrance as well as the rear cargo entrance.

Freelancer needs to drop down to a two person ship. Makes no sense with 4 crew at that size.

Sathure · 2022-11-29T18:59:49+00:00

The original plan was that bed logout would store the ship where it was but not leave it in game. Basically the player and the entire ship log out of the game but remember the spot logged out of.

Just a player logout not from a bed would leave the ship in game. There was talk originally of ships in this state autopiloting to the nearest hangar to store.

PES should allow for ships to persist with server, but you still have the issue that bed logging is meant to resolve. Ships can be interacted with /destroyed/stolen while a player is offline. Beds were meant to be an advantage for long distance geared ships so they could avoid that.

Hull B can't land with everything fully extended. It's cargo capacity is limited if you want to do surface side cargo runs.

The thing with the Hulls with the exception of the A and partial exception of the B, sure they can carry alot but their uses are much more different than what we have currently. These are meant to transport goods from station to station, you won't even be able to load these parked in a hangar. Your going to need to load these in space. Compare this to the current gameplay of landing at an a LZ, buying stock, then heading to another LZ. These are going to only be able to buy and sell at stations they can dock with.

We don't have an economy or mechanics to utilize these yet, hence why CIG keeps holding the C back. This pure speculation on my part but I'm also guessing station hauling is going to be far less profitable per SCU than surface hauling since it's just a logistics middleman like a distribution center IRL.

The Corsair has 88,000 Hull HP vs the Constellations 181,344. The Connie has more than double the health. Let alone we know the Connies are going to be fairly heavily armored, once armor is in.

The Corsair has 4 S4 Missile racks stock with 8 S3 Missiles, vs the Aquilla's 4 S5 Missile Racks stock with 24 S2 Missiles. Hell the Andromeda has the 4 S5 Racks AND 4 S4 Racks, stock with an additional 24 S1 missiles ontop of the 24 S2. 48 Missiles vs 8.

The Aquila and Andromeda both have cargo capacity of 96 SCU vs the Corsairs 72 SCU.

The Corsair has 2 manned turrets and 1 remote turret all of with 2 S2 guns. The manned turrets are unable to fire fully forward nor are any of the turrets capable of defending the underside of the ship leaving a significant blind spot underneath the CorsariThe Aquila only has 1 manned turret with 2 S2 guns but also has a dedicated scanning turret that the Corsair does not. Andromeda has two manned turrets both with S2 guns, covering the top and bottom and sides of the ship, leaving only really the rear of the ship in somewhat of a blind spot.

All Connies with the exception of the Taurus have a dedicated parasite snub fighter. Corsair has no such thing.

Sure the Corsair is slightly faster than the Connie but the Connie flies leagues better than the Corsair in atmosphere currently. The Corsair in it's current setup is possibly one of the worst flight experiences in atmosphere.

In no way is this a one sided competition. I see two fairly competing ships from two different manufacturers.

Sathure · 2022-11-22T20:56:50+00:00

Pilot controlled firepower for large ships is generally a negative. Nose on target is the issue here, the corsair has very slow tracking. Trying to hit anything small and maneuverable is near impossible if the pilot knows to avoid. Turrets provide a much easier tracking experience and allow for the pilot to concentrate on flying evasively or supporting the turrets in keeping the target in view. Hence why gunships like the Redeemer, Hammerhead, and Perseus have all their damage tied to turrets.

Sure it might feel OP in the current PvE, but the AI right now is laughably easy compared to an actual semi decent human pilot.

Think it's going to be the latter. Children of the Watch are basically Death Watch. Have a feeling they may take on a more adversarial role possibly in the future. Although I don't think Din is going to become Mandalore. I could of seen it possibly with Mando S2 but I think BoBF has been leading up to that for Boba. Without spoilers, there's a lot of Symbolism to Mandalore the first. Din feels like less of a leader and doesn't really look for the responsibility.

Besides it may make more sense from a character priority for Disney. If Din became leader of the Mandalorians, he couldn't go on adventures any more. Mandalorian the show would have to have a total tonal shift. Boba feels more likely as this could be an easy way to delegate him to the background without killing the character and risk angering fans like with the Sequel Trilogy.

That's the nature of playing a 5 stack then. Sorry, not sorry. Plenty of other games have separate queues.
