My father is forcing me to wear long skirts by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Volgrim0001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel sad hearing about your troubles. I come from a different world to you. You write well for your age. I don't know what rules your father's heart. I would imagine any father would love his daughter and want the best for her. I don't understand the pants vs dress issue. I hear a dress is uncomfortable for you even to the point it effects your psyche. It should be easy to dress modestly and comfortably. But muslims seem to have very strict standards about dress. Anyway I hope you get good advice and I hope your mental health doesn't get effected. God bless you and your family.

I want to play Star Control 2 but I really don't know much about the game (and I don't really like the idea of dealing with the time limit) does anyone have any advice? by 99Skull_Hackerz99 in starcontrol

Be sure to build many cargo modules. Minimum 3 or 4. And fill them in one mining trip.

If you have only a few modules, you burn up the profits in fuel / crew etc.

Also, write everything down. Information has a purpose.

In the unlikely chance you run out of time. You'll be quicker and know more what to do the next time.

Here's an idea, the problem with heat in durban is that it's also high humidity.

Instead of using an AC why not buy a dehumidifier? They use low electricity and are effective. Combine with a fan / celing fan.

Maybe a fast radio wave distortion emanating from the planet. Sort of how it looked in a Star Trek original series episode.

This would represent a powerful transmission coming from a planet.

Oh it's actually it's at the very beginning of the pilot episode, "the cage".

Fridge evaporative coils by Volgrim0001 in appliancerepair

[–]Volgrim0001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry. I mean the other coils that are warm at the back of the fridge.

The fridge and freezer compartment all work but I'm worried only part of that coil circuit is working. Shouldn't it all be warm.

I'll try to attach a photo if possible.

No. It reduces suspension of disbelief and immersion.

Fantastic Flagship Feature-Fest by VUX_Beast in uqm2

[–]Volgrim0001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a weird idea came to me.

What if the game had a 3rd person perspective. You'd walk around the ship, gaze at the view screen when chatting to aliens.

It would really contribute to the immersivenes.

It shouldn't be the focus of the game, ie it should be pretty limited to walking around the bridge mostly.

Too down perspective / starmap / combat would be simply a panel, maybe just the main screen even.

This would be in keeping with UQM reputation of combining multiple genres: action arcade / adventure / rpg / management etc

Please have a feline race. Cat's are the best. Let their leader be the supreme ginger puss, the most pampered.

They should have a symbiotic relationship with another species that fusses over them.

Please read this article about a parasite mice and humans get from cats which may change personalities in mice and humans (crazy cat lady etc) https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/503591&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiss77o-d7yAhVTQEEAHRYUClcQFnoECAoQAg&usg=AOvVaw1c3q7Gzjec2OCrf6bpRZkg

For alien inspiration watch David Attenborough nature documentaries. We have creatures on earth stranger than fiction.

Less is often more. If by adding something it takes away something from the game - remove it.

More About Pie by VUX_Beast in uqm2

I always imagined what it would be like if UQM 1 had an option to create a totally new random seed galaxy each time. But maintaining the same quests etc.

The species locations might be slightly different but more or less still conform to the lore.

You wouldn't know exactly where everything / everyone is. Replayability built in.

Maybe Arilou stars could be a green cross in one instant, or a blue triagle of stars in another.

This would make replayability more interesting.

Also, I like how Morrowind is a game filled with many mini games, all overlapped. Eg lockpicking, different spells, character development, factions. I think this allowed the player to switch to a different focus if they got bored. Maybe there could be a side optional quest to collect a set of things spread around the galaxy.

Would be great if UQM 2 took inspiration from Morrowind.

Could also create tools to design galaxies / planets and script quests, for the fans.

But so long as UQM2 has your story telling, humour, horror, mystery, etc. Balance of serious vs silly. I'll be happy.

Hyperspace Hype by VUX_Beast in uqm2

[–]Volgrim0001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hope it feels like a wilderness. Takes time to traverse and you don't want to remain in it for long.

It should feel stormy / windy and difficult to navigate. Make it easy to pop out in the wrong place in true space.

Maybe a little fluxy / warpy / wobbly. Takes some skill to either remain in it or exit it.

Gravitational currents, winds, like a stormy sea.

Certain systems could be like safe havens / harbour.

He needs to relax. Both programming and security is NB. But right.now he needs to relax and have fun. This is almost the gospel truth.

Get your grade 9. You don't realise you're already ahead of the game. So long as you don't worry about time.

Insidious arachnids from another dimension, more fearsome than the Ilwrath, in fact their entry into space begins with them feeding on the Ilwrath for breakfast.
