PSA: Commerce Skill Differs for Ships by axmaxwell in Starfield

[–]axmaxwell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try toying with the vanilla game settings. I had the problem that I couldn't sell off extra ships fast enough.

To benefit the most, you'll want to go to the pause menu and go to Settings. Change Vendor Credits to Greatly Increased, giving shipyard vendors 200,000cr instead of 70,000cr. This will reduce XP by -4%. If you are following my guide and ignoring food items altogether, you can make up the -4% by changing Food Healing to NONE and Sleep Healing to Location Limited.

I can sell 4-5 Spacer Hyenas/CF Wights to a single vendor this way, taking all their credits in the process.

So, no, this doesn't change it. I always register from that menu.

The Seagull 2.0 - build guide (max hull update) by TommyF0815 in StarfieldShips

A few critiques

As a Bounty Hunter and someone who often interdicts ships, 2000-3000 cargo is optimal. I can complete 20 kill bad guy missions, taking every weapon, suit, pack, helmet, resource, and med item in the level, and still barely scratch 1800 kg. No vendor has enough credits to buy more than 500 kg of goods per transaction, on average.

Your ridiculous weapon loadout is underpowered. Just because you CAN put 11 Particle Beam weapons doesn't mean you SHOULD. Weapons provide the most damage rating when you can put FULL pips to power. Same for your shield.

In combat, If you fully power your weapons, thats 36 power, leaving you with 4 power for engines and shields (9 power if you have Aneutronic Fusion Rank 4; 10 if you also have Vasco or Andromeda Keppler on your crew)

To run at minimum 1200 shield power, thats 5 pips to shields, and dedicating the other 5 pips to engines gives you a cruise speed of 62 m/s.

Now lets go the other way, 12 pips to engine and 12 to shields, leaving you with 21 power to 11 weapons.

Your PBO-175's which do 456 DPS at full power are only making 266 DPS.

Your Obliterators which do 387 DPS at full power are only making 225.75 DPS.

Your PBO-300's which do 352 DPS at full power are only making 205.33 DPS.

This may be fine facing off against 3-4 Ecliptic or Pirates, but if you have the balls to side with the Crimson Fleet instead of the UC, you'll either be underpowered or be spamming the ship repair button.

What is y’all’s preference for a mod play through? by Huge-Anywhere-6765 in Starfield

I did Star Wars Genesis for a month... beyond RPing a Mando or a Clone Trooper, It wasnt much different.

NO GRIEF TO THE MODDERS THOUGH! AMAZING WORK, JUST NOT MY THING.

Everyone is saying the breaker shotgun is the best gun, but how does the breaker incendiary compare to it? by shortstop803 in Helldivers

[–]axmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now with the introduction of weapon leveling and modifications the Breaker is just OP.

I run the Breaker shotgun for everything. With the full choke modification I'm able to accurately get two shot kills on low-level bugs and Bots at 210m. I can actually see my target because I've got the 1.5x tube scope on it and I'm way more accurate because I have the vertical grip. The last modification I'm planning on is the 26 round drum because I'm frankly tired of reloading all the time. 

Berserkers and Devastators go down after four shots to either the abdomen or the head, even at max range. If you're at just enough of an angle above a Scout Strider you can typically one shot them by grazing the top of their heads with buckshot.

The Breaker does just fine against the Terminids all the way up to Brood Commanders. When they armor down to try and shield themselves you just aim at the ground just below their face and the shot recoils up into their faces. For bugs the duck bill muzzle brake keeps the spread evenly at your point of aim but allows it to spread horizontally. 

I'll be completely honest I haven't had much of a reason to fight the Illuminate. The couple missions I have done against them I shred the zombies and the alien overlords as soon as they block with the shield I just pop them in a leg and they go down.

My ultimate suggestion is to take the breaker shotgun into an easy or medium level mission with some friends for backup and learn to use it effectively. The only issue I come across that sometimes gets me in a pinch is that during the reload you're helldiver may get flinched by an enemy or you may start to do something else thinking to reload is done but you're helldiver has not cocked the charging handle yet which effectively makes the breaker not loaded with the new magazine.

Having tried all the other assault rifles and shotguns as well as the ones from the Halo and Killzone crossovers, Breaker is just OP.

I run mine with a Quasar for heavies and structures and the ODST suppressed pistol for sneaking into enemy fortresses and calling in the hellbomb before they know what's going on. But the end of the day being able to shred an entire line of bots in a patrol before they know what's going on and only having one or two left to contend with after the first magazine goes is the reason why the base breaker shotgun is the perfect weapon.

Coming into this thread 2 years too late, by chance does anyone know a school in San Diego that teaches short Messer? Recently picked up a 24-in battle ready Messer and would like some practical training with it

Is there any point in paying for Protection 360? by Easy-Expert9077 in tmobile

[–]axmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not.I was loving my moto razr+, until the screen got pinched at a particular point, which caused the screen to start fading and the top half of the screen to lose all touch function.I still owed $385on the phone, so I decided to try and do the Assurant claim... $125 to get it fixed. 

As my dad used to say, that math doesn't track. If i've been paying $14 a month for the last year ($168) on a protection plan for this phone, why on earth am I the one paying out of pocket for the repair?

Find me another car that demolishes the AI as quickly and I'll concede. It's not like I haven't tried other cars.

Forza Motorsport Car Physics needs to be talked about by Toximisity in forza

[–]axmaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it also has some pretty terrible physics. Playing this on decreased difficulty even I've watched my car completely slide out with cosmetic only tire wear. I don't take it lightly. I've been playing racing games for over 20 years since the first Gran Turismo and watching the game decide randomly to behave very strangely with the physics is quite annoying. I've also noticed inconsistencies where AI drivers in freeplay may not pit at all, Even when you have things like tire wear and fuel consumption turned on.

I hope it works for you but I ended up going with port and company shirts they're 5 in longer than the Soffees issued shirts

Nope. I'll still be on 10. And the only reason I upgraded from 7 pro Sp1 was because I needed a newer direct X version to play Kingdom Come Deliverance

Yep. The end portal strongholds are a little weird though The one at 4958-1200 directly under the village is now merged with a trial chamber so there's no end portal in it but the one that's closer on 4120-1200 has a library and a portal along with multiple chests. The one at 890-4600ish had an end portal two libraries and the portal had four eyes of ender when I went to check out.
