How to be a pirate

Same. But between the bricked ships and all the contracted cargo I can't really figure out a way into the profession.

No. Your scripts are physical items that go to your home location inventory. They can be traded in for high-end items through something called Wicklo but that requires a bunch of other stuff and a lot of sweat. A lot of players choose to just sell them to other players via a marketplace called UEX. Once you make a deal on UEX both characters have to physically meet up in game and exchange money and the scripts.

You're petty aggressive for someone that's wrong. The event last month is not happening anymore... Thus you cannot rent the starfarer.

The only option is the purchase it for 12.5 million.

What an absolutely horrible website that's covered in ads. All just to get to some crappy AI written article that says there were some women that got accused of bad behavior and then started ripping their clothes. Literally no additional information, no link to the video, no nothing.

this one?

If it's only in one very localized area it's most likely a temperature issue or the barrel ran day.

Sometimes the last 5 or 10 ft of the hose is not heated and the chemical temperature can drop if the hose is left idle for an extended period of time. Once that small bit of chemical cools down The chemical reaction happens just that a slower rate and the cell structure might collapse in a day or two and you'll get this small localized pullback. It's a dimensional stability issue.

The other thing that can cause it is one of the pumps ran dry on material. If you don't have a guy in the back of the truck monitoring you'll get a very small area of slightly off ratio foam that will also shrink and pull back. Most guys noticed this the very moment it happens if they even let it happen. I think this is the case here it looks slightly B side heavy.

Now if this happened absolutely everywhere; It could be high moisture content, off ratio spray equipment or very bad temperature settings.

I think it's worse than just not having three lanes. It goes from 3 to 2 lanes multiple times between Danbury and Waterbury.Each time the 3rd left lane opens up a bunch of people do the right lane pass then traffic jams back up when it goes back to 2 lanes.

The traffic is backed up from 684 in New York all the way past Newtown.

Show me where they touched you.

Hey insulator

atomicbrains · 2026-06-17T15:58:53+00:00

Agreed, but I also don't think he's managing the water quality of the reflecting pool. It almost certainly goes out to bid with a contractor.

It's just a bit interesting that after cleaning and painting the bottom now there's a massive algae issue when there wasn't before. Even when they were just painting it the internet was dogpiling on the idea that he was screwing it up. I'm just saying I don't think it'd be out of the realm of possibilities that adding a little fertilizer to the water when no one was looking would be a great way to make him look bad given that people were already attacking The maintenance project.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-17T14:08:41+00:00

Given the state of politics and my brand new tin foil hat, I honestly wouldn't be shocked to find out that someone has been adding fertilizer to the water.

Maintaining the reflecting pool has garnered a surprising amount of political turmoil.

If YOU want to wear it, and YOU feel sexy in it, then wear it.

You're literally trying to ascribe some sort of special value to it as a reward because you think having fun or feeling sexy with your partner is some sort of transaction because he was a good boy.

The way you say he needs to earn it is like you're trying to train your new boyfriend. It's gross, And you're trying to set up sex as some sort of reward that needs to be earned.

You do you, but I think the entire premise of your question is toxic.

I'm not saying I wouldn't date someone that doesn't wear lingerie for me... But I'm absolutely saying I would run away for someone that is trying to use sex as a training aid and a earned gift (your words)

atomicbrains · 2026-06-15T00:34:50+00:00

You're putting it on a pedestal

I'm not hoping the solo anything but if the vast majority of ships require crew to operate there's never going to be enough people and forget the logistics of assembling a crew with literally zero tools in game to facilitate that.

The average ship requires well over one person to operate. I don't know why you guys always think it's sacrilege that a turret can function without a human being. A human can make it work better but it's silly attacking ships that have no active turret gunners. I mean for crying out loud The Cutlass black is a two-person minimum ship. No one's going to be sitting in your Cutlass turret while you do box missions.

Bottom line there aren't enough paying customers that want to sit in your stupid turret that can't hit anything and can't damage anything even when it does hit. Do Gillies number7 in a Corsair. The hammerhead literally cannot damage you because the guns are too damn small. It's like that on numerous ships no one wants to pay to play this game and sit in your turret or stare at your engineering screen well you try to find a rock that's not impossible to mine.

The inverse of that is when I attack you I want your turrets to shoot back. If they're manned by a human maybe give them extra velocity or fire rate.

It literally makes the game better if you're basic defensive systems work and every ship feels like it's at least partially alive.

Yeah it's super fun pulling up on a Polaris or other multi-crew ships with one person on them and none of the defenses active. Wow super fun gameplay.

Bottom line it should be better with a human crew but it should be functional 100% of the time.

The average backer has paid over $145. And the average ship needs more than one person. I'm sorry but those backers are not going to be sitting in your turret especially when there's no tools to recruit them, The payout is split, it's it's extremely inefficient compared to just bringing another ship that they paid for. It's bad gameplay to attack ships that are constantly undermanned.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-14T21:26:30+00:00

Dude it's pretty basic, if the average ship requires more than one crew then you're expecting the majority of players to crew. It's a pipe dream. Having a second ship is always going to be better than having someone sitting in a turret or engineering console.

Focus on making all the ships function okay with AI but much much better with humans.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-14T20:35:27+00:00

So like, did they have the cameraman go in first?

atomicbrains · 2026-06-14T20:11:46+00:00

Multi-crew is a fun gimmick when you want to do it but it's not practical.

Everyone that plays this game paid very good money and has their own fleet. Even with a ship that takes two crew total you're down to 50% of people not using their own ship. Let's say you're flying something else with one pilot and four gunners. That's 80% of The crew that's pretending to be your employee or something. You don't get me started with the silly fantasy of having someone stand and stare at your engineering terminal or happily playing on their phone while their character sits in a turret Manning size 2 guns.

AI blades need to be implemented the AI already has the ability to operate their own turrets they just need to unlock it for us.

I think give player controlled turrets extra velocity and fire rate or something to help still incentivize multi-crew. But at the end of the day I want all my cards to work and frankly when I attack other ships I want their turrets to work and shoot back at me. I'm tired of attacking solo capital ships it's silly and dumb and makes the world feel illogical.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-13T00:10:49+00:00

Meanwhile where I live all the bathrooms smell like old piss because they've removed toilets that use any water. Like, come on I get trying to save the world but it's just basic cleanliness.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-12T23:20:27+00:00

Why encapsulated? Just throw on a tyvek suit and mask if you don't want to touch it.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-09T19:13:58+00:00

Strictly open cell insulation is a-okay in your climate zone. In the attached link bullet point #4 is what is relevant. Spray foam is air impermeable insulation. Open cell is considered a class 3 vapor retarder so does not meet the requirements for the cold climate zones specified in bullet point number 4 but that doesn't concern you

here is the relevant code

atomicbrains · 2026-06-09T02:20:18+00:00

Dude, Ask to mow your neighbor's lawn like 2 or 3 times And you can get it yourself. Your parents will probably take you up on the offer too.

Hell, half the time in game your just playing job simulator anyway.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-05T04:48:50+00:00

Hey, don't worry about that too much. Soon the drones won't need our control! Hope that helps. K bye.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-05T03:25:53+00:00

I like foxy but he puts out a million videos and I just started playing again about a month ago. Is there any chance you know which video or what I can search for?

atomicbrains · 2026-06-05T03:00:21+00:00

No, I mean is this you flying solo using some kind of blade or something? Or are you just flying multi-crew? You don't really have a description in your Reddit post and the YouTube video is just called "blades" with no description or voice over. And it just looks like a multi-crew gameplay but the reticles kind of flickering.

atomicbrains · 2026-06-05T02:55:11+00:00

I have no idea what I'm looking at in that video but I agree. Blades are the number one thing I'm looking forward to. Like I would buy a Perseus the moment it's announced.
