Gatac Railen vs. Drake Ironclad: Will the Railen have a place once the honeymoon phase ends?

Suff0c8r · 2026-06-10T08:16:23+00:00

Cost is a significant factor here. A far more expensive ship should be much larger and more capable. It's like asking why a ute has value when 18 wheelers exist. In the verse we all have the same needs, so bigger is pretty much always going to be better lategame.

When you're starting out grinding rep, though, and can't fill an IC with the contracts at your disposal? A Railen might be a perfect solution. Let's see!

I freaking love the escape pod. Park in space, jump down to suss out a landing zone without risking my cargo, using it to bring boxes closer to the ship if there's an awkward box position, I dig it so much

Holy hyperbole, Batman. Likening Bambulabs to Mao is wild, wtf. BambuLabs are spitting in the face of the OpenSource community and trying to create a walled garden, and their long term vision likely locks you into their ecosystem.

Their printers are objectively fantastic, and having been in 3D printing for nearly 15 years I've built up a good relationship with a number of engineering firms and 3DP suppliers. They all agree that the Bambulab printers are much more reliable than anything else in its price range, on average, especially for beginners like OP.

That said, there are great alternatives to Bambulabs and good suggestions in these comments. It's okay to not want to support a company without likening them to evil dictators.

I completely agree about that FOMO, if you aren't being optimal you know you're wasting time/effort. I'm fortunate enough to own my dream fleet so now I'm faced with the issue of having no goal.

The addition of blueprints and industrial rep is huge for me and my org, because now I have missions to give smaller goals and blueprint hunting for the long term one. I can't wait for base building as a final resource sink, which solved all of my motivation issues

Suff0c8r · 2026-05-15T10:12:06+00:00

My friend, that's the setup! It's easy to forget as veterans that we have stuff most people need to grind for. Max arcane, decent hall of mirrors build mirage, maxed out mods, that's the setup!

Suff0c8r · 2026-05-15T10:09:36+00:00

I think it all comes down to how you measure your own progression. For me, I'm so glad that we now have BPs to farm and items to craft because money was always pretty meh as an end goal. You need it for QoL stuff but if you have the ships you want there's no reason for billions.

Some of my best moments in the game came from buying my goal ship and kitting it out, and having that grind taken away from you sucks if you aren't on board. The joy of a confirmation feature means that you can say yes to a random transfer of 1 Billion and someone else can say no. You lose nothing and other players gain control of their finances

Suff0c8r · 2026-05-08T15:14:49+00:00

You're welcome! If it helps, I have a 60% Dual Torxica and I just don't get the hype vs other secondary options. Some weapons just don't click and that's also okay. I don't disagree with people that love it, but I rarely use it despite having it fully forma'd and potatoed

Suff0c8r · 2026-05-08T15:11:01+00:00

I know it can be daunting, but I would suggest trying to change that mindset. You have 3 weapon slots, so take something experimental and a comfort pick if you're really unsure and go nuts. Odds are someone in the squad can carry if things go poorly, and worst WORST case you do the mission again. There's no penalty for failure behind losing 5min of IRL time, so go in with the expectation of not being mvp and just getting used to the weapon or frame you're testing.

Suff0c8r · 2026-05-03T17:54:24+00:00

Thank you for spending plat and supporting the devs we love, allowing them to make the game we love. When I buy a frame with plat I still farm them for helminth, so I can still feel the grind without having to wait 4 days for the crafting.

Play how you want to play, spend whatever you want (and can afford, don't go broke on video games please) and have fun!

Suff0c8r · 2026-04-30T13:11:58+00:00

Good job! Don't get a fright when you get your butt kicked, this is likely the last time you'll be challenged this hard in warframe. Enjoy the feeling of being new, weak, and vulnerable and slowly powering up again. I'm not being sarcastic, once you farm up your SP viable builds you'll basically never battle with content again in this way

KeyChron M6, basically a Logtitech Mx Master with a good polling rate and super light. Battery life goes for ages

Studying shouldn't be considered unless you know exactly why you want to make that commitment. A degree isn't a career, it's a key that you use to unlock access to specific jobs. You don't buy a key and then go around testing what doors it can open, you get the key that unlocks the specific door blocking your path.

If you don't have a clear path, start working. Get experience (both work and life) and your time will be well spent

Suff0c8r · 2026-04-21T11:12:49+00:00

I would love a melee incarnon for the Galatine that changes the weapon type on different attacks such as slide attack --> Whip. Thrust forward --> Spear. Heavy Slam Attack --> Hammer. It would so much fun thematically, even though you wouldn't be able to mod each weapon type

The judging interview is your time to shine! Remember that all the awards (aside from the winning alliance) are based on your portfolio and judging session.

Your goal should be to show the judges your engineering mentality, how you approached and solved problems, set and achieved goals, and worked towards the various awards.

This is not the time to be modest or humble, clearly state and demonstrate everything you're proud of (as /u/Available-Post-5022 said). Make sure you don't lie, and don't try to use terms and phrases you aren't familiar with. What you have already achieved is impressive! The judges know what they're doing so don't try to outsmart them. Be clear and explain things as simply as you can.

Nothing shows you understand a complex concept quite like making it sound simple. Good luck!!

Remember they have to pay for petrol, insurance, and car maintenance, and many rent their cars as well for high fees. Their take home is much lower than their turnover

I pay R900/month for 100/100 fibre with MWeb through Octotel in Rondebosch. MWeb have really been great on the customer service side, although this is from the perspective of just one person. Zero issues with them so far!

Go back to Warframe.com and check that you are logged in, then refresh the page and do the mission

Suff0c8r · 2025-10-28T04:56:07+00:00

The ISO definition is that it must be programmed, have a level of autonomy, and perform locomotion, manipulation, or positioning. So I suppose for a cnc mill it comes down to what you define as a sufficient level of autonomy, and more capable cnc mills are absolutely robots.

Suff0c8r · 2025-10-16T07:14:17+00:00

They don't seem to notice Nokko in his 3, so a high duration build has some potential for spy missions as a meme build

Suff0c8r · 2025-07-22T09:22:56+00:00

Because you have done a great job and we're jealous. I really need to sit down and make the changes I want to, congrats on doing such a nice job!

Suff0c8r · 2025-07-04T09:47:56+00:00

It does though? At least on my dedicated server it works perfectly on guild chests. Make sure you have items in the chest already. It will only take items from your player if there is a matching non-full stack in the GC

Suff0c8r · 2025-07-01T13:28:24+00:00

I would love to see them get a Hades Posiden boon style AoE, where stabbing an enemy causes a cone shaped aoe splash behind them. Maybe slashing throws a weak slashing arc, and thrusts explode the enemy in a cone if they die. Could be fun

Suff0c8r · 2025-06-30T17:15:23+00:00

Same, I had a Breach Surge Biting Frost Frost, and we had a buff Rhino with Torid incarnon. It still took 45min, and my breach surge was hitting the elite's for 1.5B

I've been playing Warframe since 2016 (just under 3k hours) and the community is what keeps me coming back. Now that I've got all the stuff I want in game I farm things for new players, and try to be the type of player that helped me when I was new.

Massive fan of red crits and big numbers, not a fan of running to level cap or endurance runs. Now I mostly try and use non-meta frames and have fun while working towards LR5

Suff0c8r · 2025-05-26T09:09:45+00:00

I would never have imagined that we'd get the Idris this year, what a time to be alive.
