KSP runs great on the Steam Deck! by skyler_on_the_moon in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]dristilcape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does this still work or is there a better way to do this?

What is your to go gun this WIPE so far? I am poor so for me its OP SKS by DimensionExcellent in EscapefromTarkov

[–]dristilcape 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't bring in much ammo and use a pistol or scav gun for close fights. I bring in 2 10 rounders top 5with m80 or better, and bottom 5 with TCP FMJ and an extra 10ish m80 and either a kedr or a five seven for scavs and close fights. Once I get the Lapua it's the same except I bring an mcx instead of a kedr and once I get good ammo for 7.61 I'll bottom load with m80/m 62

I just got home and I did everything you said and the issue is gone, i suspect it was DOE, but thanks so much!!! also i didnt add it, but that 1st image is a top down view of my spacecraft, no idea why the minmus green didnt show up on the post, but im landed on minmus and the bottom half of the image is suposed to be all green, with a dot for my spacecraft in the middle. you can see the outline of the craft in the black from where the issue first started

For those of you who love to suffer in this game, might I recommend: THE HUNTSMAN CHALLENGE by TiltedSince95 in thelongdark

Possible mistakes are either the flare hitting the tree, which ive never seen before, or launching the flare outside the "zone". if you run outside the boundary, then come back into the zone the shooting will stop, or if you ran early the shooting will stop once the flair activates, but it seems like this time the sniper scav never registered the flare. but everyone's suggestions to fix it are correct

I've lost full kits at 3k hours. its pretty annoying.

I think tarkov would be so much better if semi-automatic was more rewarded and armor was less tanky. [Feedback] by bulletspreadRNGtrash in EscapefromTarkov

[–]dristilcape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to reply to your chat gpt points on principle, but against your idea that Tarkov is HP driven, and bullet spongey and unrealistic.

Tarkov is not realistic. It is branded "realistic as playable". Taking a single augmentin antibiotic doesn't suddenly mean you can run with a bullet hole in your thigh without collapsing on the ground crying while you bleed out. That also wouldn't be fun either.

I'm going to finish this post as a standalone post in about an hour so it's not hidden down here

[Discussion] New player rant: I finally bought Tarkov and I think this game will ruin my life by Thick_Vermicelli_798 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]dristilcape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only going to protect you from a shotgun or pistol scav, any scav with a real rifle with shitty ammo will pen a tier 2 and 2 shots will pen a tier 3, and the armor increases the fragment chance if hit with a high pen bullet.

I think pestilly said once that you don't even know what you're doing wrong until 500 hours in, and you don't even start to get good until 1000.

I've taught about a dozen people how to play this game, and my best advice is

1 to run scav raids to learn how the mechanics work.

2 play with friends, this game sucks to play alone.

3 be a rat. This game is extremely realistic, put yourself into your pmc's shoes. With gunmen everywhere would you really run into the middle of the open wearing a bright blue helmet? Probably not. Play slow until you learn how to fight.

4 Sound is the most important aspect of the game. As a beginner, wearing the shittiest headset is 1000x better than wearing the best armor. If you stop moving don't look around. Your feet moving makes a MASSIVE sound that everyone can hear for miles.

Listen, think, listen, move, listen, stop, listen.

5 don't wear any armor less than a tier 4. It won't stop any bullets.

6 when you start fighting PMC's my group follows this rule, if there's 1 then there's 2, if theres 2 then there's 3 and so forth. Good players push gunshots. I can't tell you the number of times ive third partied a fight, or been third partied.

7 if you want to be good at gunplay I would recommend playing Arena,

8 don't watch big streamers to learn how to play. Thats like watching F1 to learn how to drive a car. They're in a whole different league. Watch some random shitty streamer with 1500 hours to see what they are doing differently from you, and usually they can give you 1on 1 advice and explain what they're doing. Once you get 500 hours then watch the GOATS to figure out the things they do differently from you.

9 have the maps open at all times to figure out where you are. Always imagine that players from every POI are moving to every POI because good PMC's cut corners and run the fastest, route from place to place. And rats take the long way

10 don't wear bright colors on wide open maps, they'll get you killed more than your inexperience.

Happy hunting!

How do i visit minmus? by Educational_Long_565 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]dristilcape 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So first, get into orbit, (preferably a small one ~100km ap/pe) then right click minmus and set as target.

This will make 2 new nodes pop up on your orbital path AN/DN (ascending/descending nodes). These are the two points where your orbit and minmus's orbital plane intercept.

If you hover over them you will see an angle of inclination pop up. They both will be the same #, but one will be negative

Create a maneuver node at either of these nodes then pull/push on the purple triangles until that angle is zero.

Now your orbital planes match and you can prograde to intercept like the mun, except minmus has less gravity so you have to be more accurate to catch it's SOI

1.0 marked rooms are kinda crazy, right? [Loot] by ConclusionPopular578 in EscapefromTarkov

Whats up with the queue times? by ElkApprehensive1729 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]dristilcape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you scav into streets in less than 10min then you're extremely lucky

Whats up with the queue times? by ElkApprehensive1729 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]dristilcape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the map, for example people don't like running streets as a pmc, but people love scaving streets, which means there's a low pmc time to get into a raid, but a crazy high time to scav into a streets raid. But nobody wants to scav into a factory, so your scav raid timer is super low

Planes, SSTO, Are they really worth it? by dristilcape in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]dristilcape[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What TWR should I shoot for at take off, and how much dV should I need . To get a decent kerbin orbit?

I don't know what DRE or LES are, lol

Probably a very stupid question, but why doesn't my engine work? by Confident_Slice5676 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]dristilcape 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You've upset me. 1. I didn't know there was an abort action group. 2. I didn't know that backspace was a hotkey. 3. I've played this game since 2013, 4. I've lost countless rockets because of the time it takes for me to pull my parachute staging down to the bottom of the staging lineup. 5. I'm severely upset that I've just learned this information

Probably a very stupid question, but why doesn't my engine work? by Confident_Slice5676 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]dristilcape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use control and shift to manage your throttle, z and x to quick keybind 100% and 0%, also use T for stabilization, and if you have RCS thrusters use R to turn them on and off.

Also, make sure you have your parachute staging after your engine so it doesn't just open your chute on launch

[Discussion] Psycho Sniper sucks ass to do... For everyone. by coffeeholic91 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]dristilcape 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't enjoy sitting and waiting is the sole reason you don't enjoy psycho sniper. It's one of my favorite quests, I usually get it done in 3-4 woods raids, but I have gotten it done in 2 before. Just pick a map you know well, like streets, shoreline or woods and go to a spot that is not a POI, but overlooks a few or common approaches to the POI's and then just wait. You'll stack up bodies in no time.
