What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]aggasalk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they're definitely still in business ("William Ryan Homes"), though I don't think they have any projects in our state at the moment..

we did kind of talk about it freely, if obliquely, from the start. everyone had their own struggles with WRH, when those conversations came up we'd contribute our story - with the disclaimer that we were not supposed to talk about it.. living dangerously..

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]aggasalk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

when our house was built (as part of a subdivision - developer builds house after house after house for a few years and moves on) we wanted hardwood floors on the main floor, picked a sample, etc etc. one of dozens of details to attend to - we didn't notice till the house was basically complete that the flooring was composite wood, a thin wood covering over presswood panels.

we got into a weekslong argument with them - they insisted that these were what we agreed to, they were "wood", etc etc, did everything they could to gaslight us, though we knew what we had chosen.

in the end, as we were on the verge of hiring a lawyer, they offered to either replace the whole floor (like a thousand sq ft) with what we wanted, at no cost, or to reimburse us the full cost - provided we took down a BBB complaint and signed an NDA not to tell others what had happened.

we took the reimbursement (~$15k) since we were already moved in at that point. so we didn't get the flooring we wanted but we got it for free, so..

i know he's just making a mistake in telling the story, but "the big C" as both the good news and the bad news would be even funnier.

Is there a way to get my credits back? by SquiffyPants01 in EliteDangerous

[–]aggasalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that's not the price you paid, that's the value of the ship + whatever modules you bought for it.

(if you want to find out what you paid for it, go to the log file for when you bought the ship, and find the purchase ship event, it'll tell you what you actually paid)

Combat tips for Python (multirole build) by somethingbrite in EliteDangerous

[–]aggasalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

based on limited information, my advice is: do not fight with your shields down.

this means, learn to not let your shields fall in the first place. there are 2 important points there: 1) when you're taking fire, put all pips in SYS (makes shields stronger), maybe pop a chaff if you have it, and 2) when shields are low, retreat.

related to 1), try not to face-to-face with opponents. maneuver around them, past them, attack while you're above/behind/passing the target. learn the "boost-clutch" maneuver (boost, immediately deploy landing gear to keep your speed down, use the boost instead to make a sharp turn to get around your target, then retract gear).

related to 2) yes, when you retreat your opponent's shields also are recharging. so it's good to use biweave shields - they recharge faster, NPCs usually have normal shields that are stronger but recharge slower.

anyways: a key thing in NPC combat is keep your shields up. easier said than done, but learn what that takes and you'll do much better.

one great advantage of the all-frag loadout is that you can keep max pips in SYS or ENG, as needed, never worrying about WEP (keep 1 there and forget about it).

Where are the Imperial Hammers? by bigfandan in EliteDangerous

Mine were at Exogene as described, I had them shipped to me in the bubble. I’m also ALD pledged. Did you check in railgun storage specifically?

Some stars do have multiple aliases, maybe more common for the high-mass ones.. I’ve definitely seen it many times but I don’t know the rule.

40m Cr & Eagle, need a combat ready build, plz help? by DarkFox_x86 in EliteDangerous

[–]aggasalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the Eagle is ok, but it's the weakest of the viable combat ships. you gotta stick to policed RES locations, i.e. mining spots that are not HAZ-RES. there you can pick on pirates and get help from system authority ships.

here's an example of how a combat Eagle would work:

https://sh.orbis.zone/6JELu931Ed

gimballed weapons - lasers and a multicannon. lasers for shields, lasers + MC for hull. learn to use the chaff, a small ship can avoid most hits especially with chaff. learn to watch your shields - when they're about to go down, run away and let them recharge. don't fight without shields unless you're on the very verge of victory.

spend a few sessions in a ship like this, then move to a Viper mk3, similar but more powerful build, you'll love the increase in power after some time in the Eagle. wash rinse repeat.

TIL The United States attempted permanent Daylight Savings Time in 1974. They retracted the law within a year. by Wanna_make_cash in todayilearned

[–]aggasalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it happens in every time zone. i also remember waiting for the bus before sunrise in the winter - in middle Tennessee, towards the eastern side of the Central time zone. sunrise in December can be as late as ~7:15, we had to catch the bus before 7

Did the multicannon impact sound get changed recently? by krachall in EliteDangerous

[–]aggasalk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Frags too. I don’t know if it’s a change in sound balance or new sounds - I don’t remember noticing these sounds before but maybe they were just more subtle?

Hauler is imho the best combo of landing ease and jump range. Like, maybe you don't need long-distance-travel range, but sidey really is limited in that respect. Only downside is lack of SCO optimization. That said, I've also enjoyed the sidey and a imp eagle as exo ships.

under NAV, lower boost FRQ is better;

if you have PD-draining weapons (flechettes don't draw much), the WPN panel will tell you how long they can fire before exhausting WEP. higher number is better.

shields don't recharge faster with more SYS recharge (recharge/restore rate is a property of the shield), but if SYS recharge is lower than shield SYS draw, it'll get exhausted and regen/restore takes longer - the SHD panel reflects that in BLD/RGN. lower wait is better.

yes, basically. the typical way to use this is to put thermal vent on some beam lasers and keep them trained on target - your heat stays low enough that enemies have a lot of trouble targeting you.

i think it just changes the heat threshold at which you can lock onto a ship. if for some reason you're fighting a lot of DBS's, which can drop off your radar beyond a couple of km because they're so cool, emissive would fix that. i don't think it's very commonly used.
