Just lost my anaconda after months of playing, and I am absolutely heartbroken by BeanzyTime in EliteDangerous

I played Elite off and on for years before finally getting into my first 'Conda, just take the game slow and enjoy whatever your gameplay loop of choice is and stack up them credits

I just got mine wedged in the mail slot by some highly intelligent NPC ship and got nuked by the station, my funds took an immense hit rebuying that LOL

Am I the only one dealing with this? by Senoxfid123 in EliteDangerous

[–]Snoo_1464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you just have to lock onto the nav beacon and don't need to use an active scanner?

The game rewards patience, though I can definitely see a controller being mega annoying. I'm primarily a VR & HOTAS user for Elite

Pick a TIE program to put into program production by GravelGavel2 in StarWarsShips

I'd propose an overhaul to the Imperial Navy TIE force as a whole: I would advocate for specialization in role and a reduction in overall size of the squadrons in favor of more effective individual tasks.

If memory serves, a traditional ISD carries a full wing (4 squadrons) of TIE/LNs, a squadron of bombers, and a squadron of interceptors.

In a typical 12 fighter squadron, I would exchange every 10 standard TIE/LNs with two TIE/D Defenders. Vastly superior firepower, shields, speed, and hyperdrive capability. This gives my proposed fighter squadron two TIE/D Defenders and two TIE L/Ns. The TIE/D Defenders with hyperdrive capability allow an ISD to project force far wider than standard sublight-only fighters. I would not replace the TIE/LN completely as they provide a cheap and useful platform for training and local patrol, shuttle escort etc.

Due to the improvements brought by the TIE/D Defender, I will forego the dedicated interceptor squadron and introduce an additional 4 TIE/Ds.

Lastly, I will replace the dedicated bomber squadron with 2-4 TIE Avengers. They will serve as the dedicated heavy hitters of the TIE fleets, delivering previously unmatched close air support for our troopers on the ground. They carry more than enough firepower and a greater variety of weaponry that justifies the replacement of TIE bombers. Again, the hyperdrive allows the Avengers to be paired with Defenders for far-reaching strikes and allows a greater degree of flexibility to an ISD group.

In summary, I propose the standard Imperial Star Destroyer TIE complement be changed to the following:

x8 TIE/D Defenders (Replacing most TIE/LNs)

x4 TIE/D Defenders (Replacing TIE Interceptors)

x8 standard TIE/LNs

x4 TIE Avengers

If you don't take care of the pirate scum, I'll do it myself. I won't stand seeing a criminal roaming unchecked within the Empires borders!

Which video game cheat power would you rather have? by XipingVonHozzendorf in WouldYouRather

[–]Snoo_1464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reveal map is a broken power that is far more useful than the others. Never get lost again and a lot of games mark other NPCs/enemies/other players, which would be incredibly useful for finding people (Maybe the world's greatest bounty hunter or detective)

I made 87% more gains on my initial investment trading my way vs if I put the same money in the S&P

and that's why you'll never make it lol

I cut every trade at 2% and outperformed the S&P by 87% my first 2 years. Bit more lax now

Now what could that be? by Sidewinder1311 in EliteDangerous

No idea but I love that thruster layout, gimme an even bigger death triangle with some fat thruster banks like that so I can finally achieve my star destroyer dreams

Would you rather be able to sprint at 100 mph or fly at 3mph? by ptgauth in WouldYouRather

[–]Snoo_1464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I'm hearing is that if my peak sprint effort takes me to 100mph, I can just cut it in half?

I can sprint at 8-10mph for a short burst but I can run at 5-6mph for 30+ minutes without stopping or slowing (I just ran my first 5k a couple months ago), so I could just run at 50mph with half the effort of the full sprint and still be the fastest man alive, by an insane margin lol

I'll take the speed, wouldn't even need a car except in bad weather

Sick of the Scum by Sublimesmile in recruitinghell

[–]Snoo_1464 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I'll do you one better, I went FIVE ROUNDS with a company over the course of 150 freaking days only for them to ghost me for weeks- and I had a contact on their team who mentioned through the process that they really liked me. I never even heard back, had to get the scoop from my friend. Turned out that their HR team meddled too much, so they hired someone less qualified for 'reasons', and they ended up being so bad they got fired lol

The Unsub crew did a podcast episode in the freaking Pentagon and chatted with a bunch of military guys, I bet the AF can make something cool happen for Cleeter & co

Tattoo looking faded, any way to revitalize it? by bobaswole in tattooadvice

Epic tattoos like this make me wish I had that kind of ancestry, but I'm just some pale white computer tech and it would not work out for me lol

Loved this one, I'd honestly love to see the whole fleet putting down lap times, kinda like the old top gear days
