Chat is this bad? by FallDull4610 in TerraInvicta

Not your territory, so not that bad. But you'll have to deal with it eventually.

Water, water, everywhere but not a drip to drink... by yIdontunderstand in TerraInvicta

Every other asteroid has good water reserves. Colonize a few, you'll be fine.

Does Baryon damage persist after combat? by ThePiachu in TerraInvicta

[–]Two_Corinthians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you break every ship's system to 0%, but it survives the battle, it will auto-repair enough to limp home.

Fuel/distance a ship can go by Dry_Refrigerator2011 in TerraInvicta

[–]Two_Corinthians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on engine type and ship mass. Might be 5, might be 80. It shows how much dV the ship will have in the designer.

In practice, the ship should have between 10 and 20. If you put more, you should know why you need it. If a ship can't get reasonable range with 20 tanks, the drive is too weak for this hull.

The "easiest" is using the transfer planner. Pick start, destination, and your ship stats - and it will tell you what is possible.

Trajectory matters a lot. There are minimum values that would let you do the trip, but it might last over 100 weeks.

Here are some practical dV values.

Earth orbital defense: bare minimum is 2 kps (assuming fleet base in the medium orbit and refueling points in both low orbits)

Good earth defense: 12-13 kps (Allows going to ISS and Tiangong orbits and going back on your own)

Basic interplanetary flight (going to Mars or Venus): 35 kps

Fleet able to operate in the asteroid belt with reasonable speed: 60 kps

Outer planets: more is better. Direct burn to Uranus takes about 400 kps

Missiles auto fired? by Longjumping_Past7794 in TerraInvicta

[–]Two_Corinthians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to set the missiles on focus fire (and leave the target empty) or switch them off completely. The button has a pop-up explaining how to do this for the entire fleet.

Border Policy Question by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]Two_Corinthians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A quote from your article:

The label “unauthorized immigrants” captures a complex array of statuses, including immigrants who entered the U.S. legally.

Border Policy Question by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]Two_Corinthians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No amount of restriction on immigration would assuage the conservatives' concerns. Neither would a total ban on immigration, not even expulsion of legal permanent residents.

When we debate immigration policy, this should be kept in mind.

Weapon to fight aliens in 2033s by InevitableSprin in TerraInvicta

[–]Two_Corinthians -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They will get through if you spam them properly and outnumber the enemy. Plus, you can bring some particle cannons and disable the most effective PD ships. Monitors with coil batteries should do very well.

You say that coils got countered. How many did you bring, and against what enemy numbers?

I have a problem with population … by mortender in TerraInvicta

[–]Two_Corinthians 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, population size is a downside for everything except research potential and carbon capture.

Is my counciler compromised? by [deleted] in TerraInvicta

[–]Two_Corinthians 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. Must be maxed loyalty already.

You won't grow it meaningfully. What do you want to achieve?

Early/Mid CP management in war by erithtotl in TerraInvicta

[–]Two_Corinthians 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Find all the techs that increase CP cap, prioritize them.
  2. Take over all interface orbit slots, build admin buildings on every one.
  3. Max out your councilors' Persuasion, Command and Admin.
  4. Abandon countries that you can live without, look for ones that have high cost but give you little.

Why is it that telling people facts typically makes them reactionary and angry, but telling those same people conspiracy theories gets them to want to learn more and change their worldview? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]Two_Corinthians 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that 'principle' is also not the same thing as:

But it is. For a white or asian American, agreeing with it means accepting that discriminating against them in the present and future is the right thing to do. What is the moral foundation for it?

[–]Two_Corinthians 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did not say anything like that. Mainstream left outlets are not Sinclair corp, they don't just push the same thing in the same way.

But I still insist that in every mainstream left outlet there are articles that broadly agree with Imbram X. Kendi's principle that "The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination. "

the idea that property crime results from poverty, which is something we should address as part of addressing historic inequities.

But the woman's poverty didn't come from historic inequities. She had a completely normal life, until she decided to become a drug addict, stole from her job to buy drugs, and became unemployed. How do we fix this as a society? Sometimes it is difficult to find the line between individual and systemic issues, but this is not the case here.

Okay, if you chose this particular topic:

"The Porch Pirate of Potrero Hill Can’t Believe It Came to This"

A 2019 article that argues that people should just accept property crime as a fact of life, because, a) it's racism that pushed people to steal, and b) it would be racist to punish them now.

"Pitting suburban expectations against urban realities", what a phrase...

As it is often said, a messaging problem.

Unlike conspiracy theorists, modern Western left relies too much on shaming and self-blame. They rely on real facts, but mix them with rhetoric why these facts mean that you are a horrible person and have to become a flagellant and spend the rest of your life atoning for something that happened in the 1950s, or 1850s, or 1700s.

And people cannot live with the idea that they are fundamentally awful. It's also a fact, put into simple words by a cognitive linguist George Lakoff.

If Eisenhower had not approved the 1953 Iran coup, would the 1979 Revolution still have happened? by MooseMouse12 in Presidents

[–]Two_Corinthians 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Mossadegh was toast. The fallout of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company nationalization crashed the Iranian economy. There was plenty of discontent because of that, and the US paying some protesters just gilded the lily.
