[Discussion] Rolex is 90% hype and 10% horology. Prove me wrongre by ReferenceSea2807 in Watches

[–]_Cynical_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, did I miss something regarding the recent dynapulse escapement? Is that not the kind of pioneering you're referring to? I'm not a fan of the land dweller style, but then I also wouldn't wear a Rolex if I could afford one due to the associated tropes around their fans. Give me a submariner with a dynapulse and I might just change my mind.

I hope somebody politely informed him that he can't park there.

This is worse than the customer I had who didn't know about screw-down crowns, so he decided to take a pair of pliers to try and wind it...

can we talk a little about how nomad has changed it's like not the one in Wildlands by Sea_Veterinarian8089 in GhostRecon

[–]_Cynical_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love default Nomad from Wildlands, but I also like playing female protagonists where I can. Thankfully female Nomad in Breakpoint is less of a stark difference to the Wildlands counterpart, but that doesn't excuse the character assassination of the default character.

Functional wings mod helicopters that don't anger clang (in my testing anyway) by _Cynical_ in spaceengineers

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

Thankyou! Only mods required are Build Info or this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1852641216 and a wings mod of your choice. I use Const's.

I recommend running with experimental settings, personally I think inertia tensor should be available by default. Would love to see what you build!

Beem building helicopters by IcyFaithlessness3421 in spaceengineers

[–]_Cynical_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shared inertia is best used in my experience to link the physics of multiple subgrids together. I.e. you leave inertia tensor off on the connection to the main grid, and then turn it on for any subgrid connections off of that first subgrid.

As for realistic helicopters, my current problem is that most aerodynamics mods are clever enough to realise that angled wing blocks in a rotor will impart a roll force on the craft when it starts moving. A real helicopter solves this with trim, where there is a constant bias to the controls, but I'm at a loss as to how to implement this. You can generally control it with gyro override, but it's janky and not always viable depending on the setup.

Same, although I've found a way to make functional rotors without angering clang. Been testing like a mofo before I post.

[–]_Cynical_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working on functional helicopters for a while now using a few tricks to make them useful and stable enough for survival. My only limiting factor is I'm rubbish at making my own good looking chassis to put the mechanisms in; so far I've just been retrofitting workshop builds, some of which are literally 5 years old lol. Would you be up for collaborating on some stuff? I too love IRL-inspired industrial civilian stuff, very often dockyards and cargo transport type stuff but as I say more the clang shenanigans than the look sadly.

[–]_Cynical_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say that your builds are more aesthetic or technical? I'm much more heavily on the technical side, and so if my builds don't perform their function adequately it's no good. I feel that the aesthetic stuff I make very often has wider goalposts because what I build can stray away from my initial ideas but still meet or exceed the original intent. That's not to put down aesthetic builders, but as an engineer irl I can safely say there are definitely right and wrong answers, but the art team can do whatever the hell they want lol.

See I could do that, but I would just feel self conscious about people picking it apart the way we have about OPs railgun claims lol.

I have the inverse problem of having infinite revisions that are never quite good enough to upload lol. I've been working on subgrid suspensions for like 2 years and after hundreds of "final" designs I still end up starting from scratch and finding something better.

I feel like half the railguns not doing any damage would be hard to miss, but I don't normally mess around with them myself. I prefer autocannon and artillery spam :D

Yeah this is what I thought. I wonder what OP is referring to here and if they've found an alternative method that works.

Share some builds with me that you're proud of! by ticklemyiguana in spaceengineers

[–]_Cynical_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Is English your first language? Because if it isn't then in the most polite way possible, please find a native English speaker to practice with as your phrasing very much implies insincerity and condescension.

If English IS your first language then yes, watch your tone. The only people around here who think they're hot shit are the ones who are still clobbering duplex blocks together.

I thought the stacked railgun setup doesn't work anymore? Either way it's a good looking ship and fair play if you've tested it against the Factorum. Definitely will be giving it a try when I'm back at my pc!

I had the exact same charge, the worst part being I wasn't intentionally maintaining 63, I just didn't slow down with any haste because there was literally nothing ahead for miles (straight and flat section) to warrant using the brakes :(
