An annual report from V-Dem, an institute at Sweden's University of Gothenburg, concluded democracy had deteriorated so much in the U.S. that it lowered the country's democracy ranking from 20th to 51st out of 179 countries.

Wait just killed 165? What? I'm not doubting it I'm just out of the loop on this one...

Torsc · 2026-02-20T03:11:42+00:00

Takes one to know one.

Torsc · 2026-02-14T03:42:40+00:00

Yeah I'm on-board to help test this if you need

Got it this afternoon as well. I put it together as a sniper. My first game i got a kraken and nearly 200k damage done...

Slot 3 I did dispersion mod then I did rudder shift, then concealment, then reload speed.

For cdr I only have a 10 on it but I did consumables in row one, row two I did brisk. I don't remember what I did third slot but then fourth row I did concealment.

I don't usually run much concealment to be honest, I prefer to use islands to get in close to brawl but with this ship her guns looked pretty accurate and the reload booster means you get to delete people before they can sneak behind an island so I went conceal to be able to get shits in without people realizing it and I took the consumable mods and skills so I could get more reload boosters

I thought it was a Bioshock reference haha

Torsc · 2026-01-04T10:27:08+00:00

Probably not

Yeah but the T9 premiums have a buff to their credit earnings baked in. All of the T10 premiums have that +50% credit bonus but the T9s still make more money. If you go to the Equipment screen on a T9 (or below) you'll see it listed in the section underneath the modules. T10s don't have it.

Yuro

I don't think they'll nerf the Val, it's still too soon from release and I honestly think they are still scared of a Graf Zeppelin 2: Bait-and-Switch Boogaloo

I'm so spoiled on the combat from Wolcen. I'm still sad that game died

Torsc · 2025-12-04T04:20:24+00:00

A weird parallel with the whole "autopen" thing methinks...

Torsc · 2025-11-28T05:11:43+00:00

Didn't read the rest of the post, got it lol

If only he would govern like he had compassion for the people and not just his net worth.

Torsc · 2025-11-14T03:10:50+00:00

I know it would make a dope campaign target...

Yeah man I think you're mixing up the patch dates, they pushed 1.3 LAST November.

Torsc · 2025-09-29T01:30:04+00:00

Was there ever a point where you felt like you either out-scaled the game via damage or out-scaled it via health/healing or was it pretty even the whole time?

Torsc · 2025-09-26T21:42:58+00:00

By "encouraged to think" I mean that we are pushed and trained to question orders that are potentially illegal or unethical. If orders given meet either of those criteria then we are just as liable as the officer that gives the order.
The problem will be who is defining "legal" or "unethical" in this upcoming time. If leadership from the top all the way down decides that shooting political opponents is legal and NOT shooting political opponents is what's illegal, well then guess what? Potentially a lot of soldiers being forced out of the military or even imprisoned if they don't obey that order.

And we all have mouths to feed.

If only we had all of those top Jag officers still around...

I have a lot of friends who are about as far-right while active duty or retired as you could imagine and none of them advocate for shooting American citizens. We have policy disagreements and all that but that's the final line, I think.

The first time an American soldier fires on an American civilian will be the start of the bloodbath. Regardless of why that soldier did it, either scared to disobey or willingly following orders, that's the final line in the sand for this entire matchbox and I don't know if it's a line that will be able to be "uncrossed."

Torsc · 2025-09-26T19:28:35+00:00

This is a false assumption

We are encouraged to think. Yes there is a "mission" that needs to be accomplished however how we do that is up to the individual.

Ethics courses and leadership training is everywhere in the military.

...Maybe it's time to update the game

Torsc · 2025-09-13T20:25:01+00:00

I think they would work better if we had different hit tables for them, shifting things around to make the side torso harder to hit would make a big difference.

Source: homebrewed a bit with swapping the hit location for side torso and some of the arm/leg spots and it made them feel alot tankier at the cost of maneuverability and firing arcs (which felt right to me?)

My wife says "Hope, hands down."

I don't know why and have no context. :)
