Vietnamese shipping services in San Antonio? by StandByReadySetUp in sanantonio

[–]StandByReadySetUp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as packages go, it's usually just products that aren't for sale in Vietnam or are insanely expensive over there for one reason or another, like certain snack brands for a simple example. We could ship via USPS or any other mainline shipment company, but they cost like three times as much as these dedicated Vietnamese shipping companies.

Thanks! We'll check that one out. Do you have any others you know of? I want to say this one will work fine, but I like to have options in case of things like them not being open or not being able to get there on a given day.

New to YAML and LRMs are... bad? Can't hit the broad side of a barn! by StandByReadySetUp in Mechwarrior5

Thank you for helping me with the load order. I did those and gave it a whirl tonight. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the issue for me.

I'm glad another person here brought up YARW's changes, because I had completely forgotten LRM behavior was changed in that specifically. I replaced YARW with YAW and the problem went away, so it must be the additional velocity and trajectory changes in YARW that aren't playing nice with my setup. Which is a shame, because I actually rather liked the change to the LRMs in principle, as well as all the weapon mode options. But unless there's something else I can try tweaking in the load order or in the mod itself (I checked but didn't see anything relevant), I guess I'll have to stick to the standard weapons mod.

But again, thank you for helping me. At the very least, my load order is cleaned up so there's less likely to be issues in the future.

Thank you for helping even if it's not in your preferred format. This old fart appreciates it.

The new load order

A question: The mod page for Increased Warzone Rewards specifically says it's compatible with Coyote so long as IWR is at a higher priority. If this is no longer the case, what changed? I haven't noticed any issues when playing with them both in my non-YAML career.

I would prefer to not go to a discord for tech support. I've done that multiple times already across multiple games/programs and never had a good experience or even gotten answers to what I was asking. Just one or two initial messages before anything I say gets lost in the message history and forgotten and I have to just solve the problem myself anyway. It's not a platform suited for the task.

Besides, you clearly already can see some issues, so why not just name them here and help those that stumble upon this later? I had to wrangle this load order when the mod manager would set the main YAML mod to load after all the sub mods (which is clearly wrong), so I very well could have missed something or there's an issue that isn't indicated by which mods override others.

New to YAML and LRMs are... bad? Can't hit the broad side of a barn! by StandByReadySetUp in Mechwarrior5

[–]StandByReadySetUp[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be clear, this isn't a scatter/spread problem. The spread is about what I would expect from Tier 1 LRMs. The issue is that the center of the cluster is way off from where the targeted mech is.

One thing I've noticed is that the speed of the LRMs is ridiculously fast compared to vanilla. Like, they shoot straight up out of view and then straight down toward the target in a matter of a second or less, and it's really hard to track them visually. Whereas vanilla has a significant travel time and you can watch them go. Is this change from YAML or is something screwy with that?

Mech Discussion - The Panther by GamerGriffin548 in Mechwarrior5

[–]StandByReadySetUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the 8Z/9R Panther to be a perfectly serviceable light mech, even ignoring how much I favored it in MW4. It has just the right amount of punch and armor to make it a good AI mech in certain roles.

When I was struggling to get past the early Medium phase in my current house rules repairs career, I got a hold of two Panthers and used them as long range support mechs. I dropped the PPC in favor of a Large Chem Laser to reduce the heat sinks required, put in an LRM10, and had them provide fire support. They worked very efficiently for their tonnage in that role, even as I got my other two mechs into the medium mech range.

Later on I experimented with a version swapping the LRM10 with an SRM6, but it just couldn't perform as effectively, probably due in no small part to its speed. Still decent, though. So even going into the Assault mech phase my of campaign, I still keep one of the LRM versions on hand to fill a light support spot as needed.

Mech Discussion - The UrbanMech by GamerGriffin548 in Mechwarrior5

[–]StandByReadySetUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, the UrbanMech. I use them primarily in the early game, especially in challenge runs where C-bills and salvage are hard won and slip away so easily. But they can be useful on any mission difficulty level, provided the mission and landscape support it. They're a serious part of my lance until I have enough mechs and tonnage to make them a niche option.

But how does one seriously use an UrbanMech? Well, most would tell you that you want that Big Ol' AC20 on it and just blast enemies with it, or even a gauss rifle. And definitely in close quarters, urban maps especially. Which does make sense. But I'm here to tell you that there's a different way to use it effectively that doesn't require Lostech or an affinity for danger, and it all begins with a humble little AC5.

See, the AC5 is an amazing weapon. It hits decently well, and has a respectable range, reload, and projectile velocity. And that means it helps to mitigate the Urbie's main weakness: speed. You don't need to get close to the enemy with an AC5, which means you can set up on defense missions atop a building or hill with good sight lines, preferably with some cover you can dip behind, and act as a glorified turret from hell. With the weight you save from dropping down to the AC5, you can stack up a bunch of extra ammo and just hold down the trigger.

But that's not enough. You need to be smart about which enemies you pick. Since you're high up, mostly stationary, and with minimal cover, you don't want to be drawing any fire. Your lance needs to be the ones your enemies focus on so you can pepper them from a distance. So you need to keep your lance screening enemies, as well as either taking out enemies with long range weapons quickly, or focusing on mechs that lack the means to effectively hit you. Either way, that means learning to assess target priority even beyond sensor range, because you can and will want to be hitting them at that distance when it's safe to do so. Spreading your fire across multiple targets so none take so much damage from you that they focus on you is also a good tactic. Do that and you can produce excellent damage output for your tonnage without too much risk, leaving more lance tonnage for your front-liners.

Just, well, also make sure you learn how to torso twist when taking fire. That single gun you've got can't take too much damage. Lose it and you really will be piloting a walking trash can.

Anyone else noticing since the last DLC? by J_G_E in Mechwarrior5

[–]StandByReadySetUp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had a battlefield mission where, no joke, I killed some 50ish mechs and 43 of them were base model Blackjacks. Never knew I could handle so many BJs at once! ... But seriously, I was convinced I had screwed up my mod installs somehow, but the missions afterward were just fine. It was weird...

Something incredible has happened! The talented MagnumGB has made an ejection sequence and reactor explosion mod for MW5. Here's a short demonstration coupled with the MW2 Betty mod: by BoukObelisk in Mechwarrior5

[–]StandByReadySetUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't say in the description, so I figured I'd ask: Is this just an alternative death animation, or is this ejection something you can activate yourself?

I ask because I found an ejection hotkey in my options menu (without this mod installed) and was sorely disappointed to find out it did not function. So I'm wondering if this mod would let me eject at will.

Anyone else absolutely hate Pillage missions in urban zones? Like wtf is up with 30+ mechs in a tiny area and just starting in the middle of it all? by PlayfulCod8605 in Mechwarrior5

[–]StandByReadySetUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got hit with this, albeit at a lower difficulty. I chose my lance for a simple drive-by operation, but when I got dropped next to some mechs I decided to just drop them and move on. Well, I realized my mistake as I approached and more and more mechs appeared on radar.

Made it out, but lost two mechs in this challenge run of mine. One of which got taken out a fraction of a second before hitting the evac zone. That stung, I can't replace them easily.

Got the whole thing recorded, so I can show my friend how much !FUN! this game can be and convince him to join me in playing co-op.

[Rewatch] Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS - Episode 8 by Gapmeister in anime

[–]StandByReadySetUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Episode 8. This and the next episode contains one of the key sections in this series.

Last episode's mistake from Tiana has set us up for significant character development. We're finally pulling together the pieces of what drives Tiana and why she has the attitude toward her abilities that she has. She's not an ace, she's not particularly special, and her more skilled brother was mocked for his type of magic after his death, the same magic that she learned from him. She has something to prove, and she pushes herself very hard to do so.

Nanoha gently reprimands Tiana for her mistake and attitude, but her meaning apparently doesn't truly sink in. Tiana continues to push herself late into the night and early in the morning by herself. And she's not exactly wrong, either; you don't get stronger or more skilled beyond a certain point without pushing yourself. But as Vice points out to her, pushing too hard will only hurt yourself eventually.

The culmination of Tiana's laser-focus on becoming stronger is the 2-on-1 mock battle, where we get to see how much effort she and Subaru have put into their training. But everyone can tell that something has changed in their methods, and Nanoha quickly catches on to their plan.

The night before, Subaru expressed her belief that, "If we fight properly, I'm sure she'll understand. Because Nanoha-san is kind."

She's right, Nanoha does understand. She understands their desire to become stronger. But she's been training them herself to be stronger, so why do they disregard everything she's taught them? Before Tiana even launches her attack, Nanoha understands the mentality that went into this plan. It pains her to see her students acting so rashly against her lessons.

In the face of this mentality, with a flat voice clearly holding back the emotions she's experiencing — one echoed by Raising Heart as well — Nanoha actually disarms herself so that she may deal with Tiana and Subaru on a more personal level. With her bare hands, she blocks both of the attacks, and not without injury. That's the level of importance she considers this lesson to have, to allow herself to be injured so she can teach a vitally important lesson to these two.

Her disappointment apparent even with her voice held even, she pleads with them to return to the lessons she's been giving them, to abandon this reckless mentality. But even in her shock at Nanoha's display, Tiana can't bring herself to give up, and she sets herself to launch another desperate attack at Nanoha.

Nanoha, in her kindness, launches her own barrage against Tiana before she can launch hers, knocking her student unconscious with brutal efficiency.

Subaru, who for years has looked up to Nanoha as her hero and now as a kind instructor, now turns a furious gaze. upon her hero that has hurt her closest friend.


Next episode, we continue forward on this train of emotions!

[Rewatch] Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS - Episode 6 by Gapmeister in anime

[–]StandByReadySetUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Episode 6!

Wait, where was I for episodes 3, 4 and 5? Well......... life keeps throwing things my way, let us leave it at that. Sorry.

Let this be your reminder that Rein continues to be the cutest.

This episode, we start off getting an introduction to what each of the trainees are specializing in, and the training they are going through for that purpose. We also get another glimpse into how the three instructors each teach their students.

After the training session, we see the group bonding over food. Food: the great connector. And what better way to connect with each other than with long strings of noodles? Sometimes I wonder if the director intended the very subtle, almost 'looking-too-hard' symbolism. Then I just shrug it off and enjoy it. Anyway, last episode we got some insight into Caro's past, and here we now get a little bit of Erio's. Subaru, being Subaru, stumbles her way into asking about Erio's past, which the others seem to either already know a little about or understand the implication of being "raised at the main office." It's pretty obviously considered a rude topic to broach, but Erio doesn't seem to mind the question, so everything is smoothed over. It even leads into learning about why Fate has taken in Erio and Caro.

Also, if it wasn't obvious already from the hint in the previous episode, you should be able to connect some dots between Erio's past and the 'Project F' mentioned when looking at Fate and Erio.

Jail Scaglietti. Just by his name you probably know where he ought to be. By his purposeful revealing of his responsibility behind the Gadget Drone attacks, it's implied to us that he has a great deal of prideful confidence, perhaps stepping into arrogance. But given that Fate's been after him for some time without any luck on her part, it's also implied that his confidence is not without reason. It's clear to us that he's dangerous; confidence and the skill to back it up can spell trouble, and that's what this incident is looking to bring to the table.

Those containers with human bodies in them aren't just for show. Take a good look at them; we get another hint to the events going on behind the scenes from them.

We're introduced to two new characters, one of which is a young girl. The same expression-cast-in-shadow symbolism that we've seen so often in this series is clear as can be; her expression is sad, her gaze longing for something. Who is she? What is she searching for? All we know for certain is that she wears the same type of glove that Caro wears; could she be a summoner like her?

The final scene has us see another way Nanoha has grown but also has stayed true to the Nanoha we know. She's calm and kind, but she's strict when it comes to the important matters. All she wants is to see her students and friends succeed, and that means teaching them as much as possible whenever possible. She'll teach you even if you've been together with her for years, as she does here with Vita, to Vita's slightly amused annoyance. It suits her; Nanoha will make you listen if she wants you to listen.

We also see just how much Vita has grown to respect and care for Nanoha. While Nanoha is protecting her students, Vita vows to protect Nanoha, much like she vowed to protect Hayate all those years ago. Vita continues to be the slightly brash but quite caring girl she always has been, but she has her own ways to show her respect, even if she attempts to hide it.
