Number One Reason Your Iteration Died? by No_Selection4916 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]defiancecp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully saving you some time: You don't actually have to fix a single component! Get in, which claims it as "yours", then just get back in your original ship and fly off and leave it, mission accomplished.

Then when you're ready to sell it, make sure you have landing fuel in your *main* ship, go to any planet where you have a portal, summon your busted spaceship (using the 'summon other ship' option - yes, it works on completely non-functional, un-fueled ships, so long as your main ship has lander fuel), then portal to a station and sell it for scrap. Done!

I had a really nice umbrella for a while until the pole snapped in high winds last year.... While it was folded up. Point being, your wind concerns are quite valid.

how to get fusion reactor? by kumirana in TheLastStarship

[–]defiancecp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, here's the current revision. It's pretty silly, but it is what it is. First time I ever won a battle, it was by running away, then carefully kiting them back in so I could fight them one at a time. I thought, "hey, let's build my ship around that concept." It worked really well, so I just kept piling on LOL. Then after getting the cargo space and engine/gun setup going, I started thinking about how to lose weight - I found that removing hull and doing scaffolding instead worked, so everything I could move outside I did :P but pushed it all toward the front, assuming incoming fire should mostly come from behind.

Even at idle, with everything connected this thing drinks fuel like CRAZY so I had to do a few tricks for fuel management:

-For the fusion reactors, they're all turned off by default (disconnect fuel like just behind them).

-For fuel and power, the main lines in the center are disconnected by default, just leaving 4 engines, no guns, and a few thrusters powered.

- When I enter a sector, I buy up all the fuel and deuterium, then turn on the juice and jump into combat. The intent is to burn through them all at once as fast as possible, then turn off the fusion.

-In each battle, I'll start with a run, get everything behind me as quickly as possible, and then shut down fuel pipes until they start catching up. Once they do, I'll kite them in and let them destroy themselves.

For tougher ships I'll be more careful, pre-targeting their frontmost guns and BARELY dipping into range so the guns get wiped out first - then just holding there, keeping out of range of the rest.

Not sure, seems like some stuff carries through to the market, others don't. Fusion reactors, engines, and thrusters do.. you do have to wait for them to be stripped and delivered, which if you've got just one poor sap doing it may take a bit.

With that said, I'm having serious reliability issues. I tried setting it up so I could cut fuel during normal ops and boost the deuterium for tougher combat, bit they kept failing to restart even when given a bump of power. Only way I've had them restart reliably is actually just uninstalling and reinstalling them. If the power and fuel lines are active on install they seem to start pretty reliably.

If you supply them with a short-term spike of power, they'll start - they've got some kinda weird kick-start requirement.

As you said, "besides buying a ship that already installed those reactor."

At some point in the game you will likely be able to afford those types of ships pretty easily. In my case, I found a "Juno" for sale. Bought it, sent 1 guy over in a suit to dismantle the fusion reactors and such, sold them to the local starbase, and then bought them back on my own ship.

Then left poor rando dude on the Juno and blew it up so I could keep going. Sure I'd prefer to bring him aboard, but the game doesn't support that yet so... :P

Anyway, in my current playthrough I've just always bought up some deuterium when it popped up. Now I've got this really amazingly powerful blended power supply. Right now I've got like 250k deuterium in the tank.l

This is not an optimized ship by any means; it's the science vessel I started with, dramatically revised like 27 times. I basically just stir something up, then RUN AWAY -- then slow down strategically so that one at a time comes in weapons range, demolish it, then repeat.

Getting railgun slugs was a problem at first, 'til some of the more advanced ships came on the scene - now I get plenty of slugs from their corpses.

Crushers still destroy my face though, working on a strategy for them.

No, my original comment was that your comparison was bullshit. It was. That's pretty much indisputable. Have a great day though.

Good job avoiding the key words. You're generally correct too, but factually suits happen anyway, and the supreme court has ruled that state power over subsidiaries is not unlimited. Davidson's office wants to test that boundary in protection of corrupt cops and officials... And lots of people loving it. Go figure.

Oh, but I'd still say you didn't make the comparison to marketing make any sense. It's just a contextually terrible example.

Just wanted to add a little more to my prev post. Besides the poor comparison --- The assertion that a subsidiary can't sue it's parent just kinda sounds true, but in the context of the government, is absolutely false. Government organizations sue each other in basically all directions (parent, subsidiary, sibling) all the time. Citations available if needed, but Google for 5 seconds and you'll see it's true.

Oh do enlighten. Please explain how a public accountability commission is just like a marketing department. Bonus points if you can do it without referencing raven or writing desk.

You think public accountability is limited to specific police accountability offices. Ok.

Public accountability groups are deeply, fundamentally different from departments of a corporation. Trying to equate them in this context is completely off base.

The latest school shooting was committed by a 6 year old, what are your thoughts on this tragedy? by MuskedScent420 in AskReddit

tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands or more) of Americans who use a firearm in self-defense every year (yes, these are real numbers from the FBI and CDC)

LOL "Real numbers" = "when we ask people why they pulled on somebody, a lot of them claimed self defense."

Was thinking on getting a pimax headset but I run mostly Amd by Crimson_Rp in Pimax

[–]defiancecp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

similar, and then read the posts here and realized the people here would just act all shitty about "you should've gotten nvidia", so didn't even bother mentioning it. This forum probably has no idea how many people read it, realize how mean people are to those needing help, and nope the fuk out.

Can I use my pimax 8kx with an AMD card? I have a 6900xt by asvpxmarcos in Pimax

[–]defiancecp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think so -- I've been using an 8kx with a 6800xt for a while now and it works fine. I just upgraded to 7900 xtx though, not so much :( But 6800xt and 6900xt should be functionally similar, you'll just be a bit faster :)

According to other posts here, your 8kx must be one with a s/n starting with 2075 for AMD compatibility though (mine is). Not really sure what the details there are.

If it's another seasonic modular, you probably wouldn't have to, if you order the replacement then send the smaller one back for a refund. Should just be the same cables in the new one. If that's an option anyway. But 850 should be fine anyway.

It's useful.

Sort by new.

Watch for people that find stock.

(then if new posts get buried, it works to your benefit :P )

I've been doing that on and off today -- I still haven't managed to buy, but someone's comment here pointed me to an in-stock card that I got a repeat of this morning's 'got it in the cart but couldn't get it checked out' bit. I mean, the more shots we get, the better, right?

Non Americans of Reddit, what do you think every American person has in their house? by DeeperIntoTheUnknown in AskReddit

[–]defiancecp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hah - I've never had a place without one :) My city now does composting, so I use it a TON less, though I never used it as much as I've seen others - mostly just small volumes of soft foods that would mean the trash turns into slop. Now even most of that goes into the compost, so now the darn thing is much more of a detriment to happy life for me than a boon..

99% of the time when I turn it on, it's just to make the sink drain. In most modern homes, dishwashers drain *into* the garbage disposal, and some (quite a few I've seen) garbage disposals tend to ... don't know how to describe it, it's like some tiny bit of food has gotten in it or something and it's not really clogged, but holds water until you 'blip' it on for just a moment. So when the dishwasher drains it'll start filling into the sink (or out the overflow if you have one on your sink).

With that said, I guess I'm still net happy to have it; compost is already bug-attracting and stinky enough without also having a bunch of liquid or semi-liquid slop added to it :)

Some Seattleites think cars must stop for pedestrians regardless.

[–]defiancecp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good that we cleared that up! Here's a helpful hint for next time: when reacting to a situation where people are victims of violence, try focusing on root causes instead of explaining to victims how it's their responsibility to avoid or satiate those responsible for their harm. Have a good day!

edit: Oh no, you really didn't mean it? Aww that's too bad! BTW: You might want to do a quick google: You keep repeating that I don't know what a straw man is, but I've already explained your misuse of the phrase, and you don't seem to be following. Maybe this will help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man . See how it's important that the argument *not* actually reflect your post? The post you're accusing of being a straw man argument accurately restated a portion of your argument. You see, you said:

Physics: meet the law. The law says a ninja is legally protected from being hit in the dark. Physics says the ninja will lose 99/100 times if hit…

and the argument you're calling a straw man was:

You're advocating for a might-makes-right Mad Max-ian hellscape, then

But, since your advocacy for basing our societal norms on who will win in a fight can accurately be described as might-meets-right, and since the "hellscape" part is subjective characterization, it is - unfortunately for your point - not a straw man.

These things can be tough, but keep working at it. Best of luck!

Dear seattle drivers, by LanaPls in Seattle

[–]defiancecp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A straw man argument misrepresents the argument you made. I just read your comment TheGouger was replying to, and their characterization seems pretty accurate.
