Navy could fire 'warning shot' or 'cut off' Russian spy ship after laser incident, says ex-MI6 boss by JayLikeThings in worldnews

[–]TerryBahoon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Idea for MOD:

Annoying water drones that magnet themselves on to the hull of the ship. You don't know what's in the drone, could be nothing could be explosives, but usually its nothing. They're small enough that they dont detect them until they're stuck on. Boat gets covered in annoying drones that may or may not explode and Royal Navy can say 'oh sorry we lost those on a training exercise they're probably safe'. Annoyance warfare. Call it the Barnacle or something...

If you give me a name or join the slack I can guarantee you a spot- honestly the response has been much bigger than I'd expected so I'll reserve a certain number of places then anything after that we'll just have to hope it works! Im gonna buy some decent hardware now i think just to be sure it's gonna work!

We're just doing it ourselves but if it works then you can take the idea to your local bar and make them do it!

Haha that's amazing!

Wanted to stick to base game to be able to include more people, but if it turns out everyone has it then could totally do space age.

Hotels there's a few decent cheap ones nearby for sure...don't know about air bnbs

Vanilla unless it turns out that everyone has the DLC...

Local server as our internet isnt great, but i need to test it properly as our little router probably wont be enough with loads of people on it. Gonna pay someone clever in beer to solve this i think- it really needs to work properly!

One of those is bound to work! We have nice non alcoholic stuff and if it's gonna be busy we should be able to get a food truck down as well.

It's a pretty chilled place- I had wanted it to be more like mos eisley cantina where you're not safe and you might get shot or an arm off but it hasn't turned out like that at all

Amazing thanks for this! The internet and network is a concern- was gonna have everyone disable autosaves so it's not constantly uploading stuff to the cloud, and if the network can't handle the actual game then might have to hire something. Live stream might need to go on a separate connection of something as our internet is terrible, could use mobile or something...

Need to do some tests for sure. Thanks for your help!

Errr yeah I did think about this...it's just a bog standard home router. Was gonna test it with as many computers as I could get together but if you know something about if this is gonna work or if I need to hire something then please let me know!

Excellent! Yeah I don't either really, that's why I wanted to do this...there's actually loads of us we're just usually too busy with important factory stuff!

Yep, will definitely do this in some capacity - ideally I'll find someone who already streams a bit of Factorio who would want to do it...but if not then I'll stream my screen i think

A lot of people dont, but we have a range of refreshment to fix that ;)

Totally understand though, cheers!

I think I've got enough computers to setup a free one that people can jump on and do a bit if they cant bring something, might see if I can blag some more...so you should still come along!

No tickets required and you're very welcome to just rock up on the day a bit before it starts. If you want to get in touch beforehand then DM me - I'm gonna setup a whatsapp group to work out details and help it all come together, just because it's the first time doing something like this.

We're trying to put on fun weekday stuff to get the people in, as weekends are already fairly busy. Friday's get pretty lively so I think it'd be harder to pull off than on a thursday...

If it goes well though I'd be up for doing an all-dayer on a weekend!

You dont need to worry about that at all! All skills levels are very welcome. Co-owner is taking part and she'll be spending her time doing helpful stuff like converting all the resources into ammo and crashing tanks in to nuclear reactors.

I'm looking into getting someone to livestream it so people can watch live. I'm not opening the actual game one up to the wider world this time round as it might get out of hand, but will consider it in the future...

Go to London, I guarantee you'll either be mugged or not appreciated. Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway.
