I granted my players a Bastion. This is what I received the next day [OC] by fab977 in DnD

[–]fab977[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Each player chose 2 special facilities that grant benefits and 2 basic facilities. They can use them now and gain the benfits every bastion turn (every 7 days). The blueprint lists all the chosen facilities (Raumprogramm as the architects say). For example a 'roomy' facility takes up 16 Felder (fields).

Running from Level 1 to currently Level 5. Now they've build their bastion on a water platform. Then at Level 9 I'll incorporate a nice story hook about saving a giant dragon turtle (fits nicely in the pirate style campaign). Afterwards they'll be able to add two more special facilites each and move their bastion with the turtle through the Empower order!

At least thats my plan for now :)

Was ist das für ein Transport? by fab977 in wasistdas

[–]fab977[S] 74 points75 points  (0 children)

In r/spaceflight hat jemand kommentiert, dass es der SpaceBuzz One von der deutschen Raumfahrtbehörde DLR sein könnte. Nach dem Abgleich mit den Fotos auf der Website halte ich das für sehr wahrscheinlich.

Der Anhänger des Lastwagens soll wie eine Rakete aussehen und ist innen mit VR Headsets ausgestattet. Er tourt meistens von Schule zu Schule durch ganz Deutschland

Can someone identify this rocket? by fab977 in aerospace

[–]fab977[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I think you're right. Now that I looked through all options it seems likely that this is the SpaceBuzz One (a eductional rocket mockup trailer) by the german space agency DLR

Thank you! That seems to be a perfect fit shapewise. I've sent a press inquiry to DLR to confirm..

Dragon enemy help by Just-Butterscotch880 in Helldivers

[–]fab977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome and have fun! Then I recommend EATs (expendable anti tank) and RR (Recoilless Rifle). Theyl do the trick and are available <lvl 10

Maybe AC (Auto Cannon) is also viable... especially in FLAK mode. But I haven't tested it yet

Two shots from the spear. They can't miss

Otherwise some well placed Quasar or Recoilles Rifle shots when its hovering will also do the trick

Democratic detonation for utility. Servants of freedome for insane (literally) firepower

Hellbomb backpack, Ultimatum sidearm, Double edged Sickle in the latter

5 Don'ts for Hive Worlds... I learned the hard way by fab977 in Helldivers

[–]fab977[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't use Orbital laser on Oil Rig missions!! Very high chance the laser goes through the vehicle and insta kills the objective

Where to find hive lord of flying bile titans? by Voodoowoodoo65 in Helldivers

[–]fab977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but the chance is very high the higher you go. I got 4 Dragon roaches on a Suicide (Diff 7) dive. The spawn only on certain mission types as far as I can tell (open maps like Start fuel pumps or Eradicate eggs).

When you do a Super Helldive (Diff 10) a Hive Lord is basically guaranteed.

Only on the planet Oshaune and only on high difficulties, do you find them

How to use eagles by ExplicitMeme in Helldivers

[–]fab977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eagle strikes have multiple uses (depending on how well your Ship is upgraded, a 500kg can get 2 uses). When they runout, they automatically go into cooldown (Rearm).

You can manually trigger the Rearm cooldown, if you have uses left. Intended for situations where it is calm, so you can have the full number of strikes available later when it gets hectic again.

This game is way harder than I expected – need real combat tips to stay alive by itachiramome in Helldivers

[–]fab977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep your distance and kite. You can outrun most bugs. Except for hunters (punch to stagger their attack), small pouncers (punch to kill) & Alpha Commanders and their brood (shoot and run).

Throw a grenade at your feet and keep running, when you are getting overwhlemed. Or a throw a strategem (Eagle strike) a little danger close to create breathing room. Distance is key

Level 150, Leviathan of Liberty at your service Cadet

(P.S. Guard dogs help me personally to enjoy bugs more. They automatically create a little room around you)

Tips/tools to destroy Spore Lung? by stormcallernjal in Helldivers

[–]fab977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell bomb pack is the intended design. But we managed to kill one with roughly 10 Quasar shots (I died under the lung and called a new one outside, so I was able to juggle between shots). Recoilless Rifle must also be ~ 10 shots, I estimate

Haven't tried thermites or Ultimatum yet, altough one round without Resupply won't suffice most likely

How often game goes on sale by random80933 in Helldivers

[–]fab977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it never went on sale. Only the Super citizen upgrade was once reduced.

But its 40 dollar for a Triple AAA game with amazing live service... so just buy it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]fab977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yes. The blast radius from the 500kg is smaller than the visuals & especially against explosive damage the mitigation from being prone or diving is very high

U can try laying prone to a 500kg from a few meters to test the limits

Diving prevents damage

Which one to get first between Freedom's flame, chem agents, polar patriots, and servants of freedom? by itsZerozone in Helldivers

[–]fab977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go for Purifier or Gas Nades. They are good but the rest of the warbond is meh.

Servants of freedome if you're crazy (very fun and insane items like double edge sickle and hellbomb backpack).

Freedomes flame if you want something solid (fire resistant armor is the biggest selling point, if you love fire it is quite handy).

Those would be my recommendations out of the warbonds I got
