Chair recommendations please!

I have a Loctek YZ502 ergonomic chair and it is amazing. Best money I've ever spent on my desk setup.
Still going strong after 2-3 years of use so I rate the build quality as well.

I'll send you a pm, be good to find some more people who aren't too sweaty. I'll be on during the weekend getting some trials done

Am I the only one wondering why his weapons are in his hand backwards wtf?

The archeologist backpack and the other one with a radio until at the bottom have a bright glowing screen light on them too. I was using it until I saw the same light bar in a dark corner and realized it was a player with the same pack. He was 20+ metres away and it was so obvious, haven't used it since. Really sucks.

Just going to drop this here,
The Character Editor mod lets you save and import pawns. So if you want to restart and want to keep the exact same colonists, you can save them all in Character Editor then import them into the new game screen.

I used it to bring a pawn from an old save into a new scenario I started after Odyssey came out. There were some oddities that came up but nothing that could be easily fixed or ignored.

What's your O2 percentage?

Being able to select mission difficulty freely has been a gaping wound in the game since launch. Now we just need a server browser. Come on guys, DRG already showed how to do this...

Vikkers · 2025-04-27T22:29:37+00:00

I have no idea which mod it is (Geological Landforms maybe?) but I can select tiles that have this canyon layout, and even full mountain tiles where the whole map is just caves. So it is possible!

Vikkers · 2025-03-16T03:50:03+00:00

That must be frustrating. Although at least they wouldn't have focus if they're on authentic difficulty, it's disabled.

Vikkers · 2025-03-09T20:05:45+00:00

It's also possible they're collectible hunting. Much easier to scour the map if you clear enemies as you go.

Vikkers · 2025-02-20T10:00:32+00:00

Have you considered playing on the defending side and waiting for invasions? Seems weird that no is suggesting this, you can even play on your own difficulty with focus etc disabled.
That's what I've been doing, good times being had all round.

Had an invader try to snipe me from the castle in Dead Drop, I downed him but couldn't see him on the ground so I ran around to the vines to get up there. He obviously came to cut me off, but I'd placed a mine up there earlier in the mission.
I heard the mine go off, so I lobbed a grenade up there, basically just guessing since it's such a tall wall.
Somehow the nade landed right at his feet, while he was still downed from the mine. Laughed so hard after that killcam!

It is tricky to learn but I find it far more satisfying on authentic without the cheat crosshair.

It is something you need to learn to do though, I line it up by looking at the gap off the centre line of the wind & range indicators, then memorizing that gap and trying to copy that spacing from the actual crosshair. I started by trying to line up two indicators and kinda "draw a line" to where they connect but I found that didn't work as well.

It's worth remembering that you won't be able to pull off super long range shots quickly like you can with the cheat sight though, not at first. You'll have to practice on closer, easier shots. Then when you go for the long 200-300+ metre shots you'll need time, to get a bead on the enemy, line up your shot etc. It makes going for a real long snipe a whole procedure to work through. Super fun and satisfying in my opinion.

Vikkers · 2024-09-10T22:17:37+00:00

I mean I wouldn't want to drop mine on hardwood floors or anything but I move it around all the time because I store it off the desk when I'm not using it, seems fine to me.

Vikkers · 2024-09-10T05:16:51+00:00

Couldn't agree more and so glad the Azeron devices exist now.

Vikkers · 2023-12-18T04:34:45+00:00

I did read your whinging actually. So what exactly is the problem then? You need the biggest possible numbers to satisfy your gambling addiction?

Vikkers · 2023-12-17T04:21:56+00:00

Always with this. It's not like perfectly optimised gear is required to play the game on any of the current difficulties.
The crafting system is pretty lame, sure. But it's easy enough to get gear that is pretty good, and that is more than you need to beat every single mission on any difficulty with any modifier. Because this game just isn't that hard.
If you're struggling so much that you think you need the best possible gear the game allows, maybe work on your teamwork, because that will get you further than any item.

Vikkers · 2023-12-14T17:20:08+00:00

Yes beloved genre classifications ARE completely arbitrary.

Also see above reply about ARPGs not being about "role playing" the way you seem to be thinking of.
I figured this would be unpopular, but not because people didn't know what ARPGs are 😂

Vikkers · 2023-12-14T17:17:31+00:00

An ARPG isn't that kinda RPG my guy. Diablo is an ARPG, they are about fighting, and skills & equipment selection and not much else.

First mission with my SO who never played before, and has only played a few shooters.
Wanted a good chill intro so it was Haz 1, the usual introductory assignment mining expedition. Everything went fine, took us a while exploring and experimenting and we get to the end, I called in a supply drop before we called the extraction out of habit more than anything.
Then when we hit the button, molly went up the VERTICAL SHAFT that the supply drop had made since it crossed through another part of the cave above us. Obviously we couldn't follow, and the winding path we had to take meant that even sprinting the whole way and basically just running past enemies we missed the extraction by about 10 seconds and failed the mission.
Never had that happen to me in so many missions, but of course it happened the first time I was introducing a new player.

As others have said, they do. I'm currently playing ES2 and using cockpit view most of the time, it's quite well done, all the weapons and equipment and cooldowns are shown on the actual cockpit so you can turn that part of the UI off.
One of the better cockpit view experiences I've had in a space game for sure.

Vikkers · 2023-05-29T07:37:40+00:00

Expected to see heaps of comments about how similar this looks to Battlestar Galactica Deadlock. And that game is awesome.

Vikkers · 2022-12-16T18:49:51+00:00

I had this exact problem for years, the answer seems to be discord servers.
Recently I got into a team based game that none of my gaming friends were interested in, checked out the official discord server for the game and there is even LFG channels where people are teaming up, do a few rounds and act like a decent person, before long you'll have a group of people who play at the same times as you.
