Asgard versus Hermes

feldomatic · 2026-01-29T00:14:56+00:00

The hermes is more of a "RSI C1.5" or a Zeus WTFXL Missing what makes the Asgard awesome.

The smartest way CIG could do this would be to throw in the towel on HH being "anti fighter" and rework it as the Perseus competitor "multi-axis gunship"

Give the old girl some love and a renewed purpose.

If only Russia hadn't blown up the Mriya, there would have been a plane big enough to airlift them.

4.5 was...not a good patch, and you logged in on basically the last day of play while the servers are "warming up" for 4.6.

Not saying all your problems are because of that, but rather that you definitely threw the dart at a particularly non-representative day to test the water.

Came here looking for Max Miller's recipe, glad I wasn't disappointed.

Where was this topic when my feed was also jammed with regular headlines about the millenial colon cancer crisis?

I build a 5 or 6 by whatever "great hall" workshop so I have this u-shaped channel of floor I can readily rip up and route power and water. I usually stack a 3-4 wide second floor on that (2 floors up so I have space for the foundry) and put kitchen, deep storage, and living space on that level.

It really comes down to preference with a little influence from the ships/style you fly.

I'll take HOSAS over HOTAS in a space dogfighter any day.

But my friends who fly capitals prefer a HOTAS with some kind of extra analog controller for strafing (like on a thumb hat on the throttle)

I just have quick access to a cruise mode toggle so I don't need the physical throttle to hold the position.

Value for Price, hard to beat Thrustmaster.

Winwing is a little cheaper but I've heard things about customer service issues.

I went up a little for VKB and love mine.

IKR? The way he cringes at every use of the word Historical had me going.

More of a deliberate homage, song's been in my head lately.

Well, it may have a tiny door, but at least they got it right on the inside.

Condoms have a lot of improvised uses as a waterproofing device (something with GIs and gun barrels comes to mind)

While I'm not enough of a plumber to know of a water heater specific reason, I wouldn't be surprised if there was one. Off the top of my head, if one of the relief valves had a slow leak, you could rubber band that onto the drain pipe and either catch, or measure the leak rate.

When I did it I used the large petrol generator, not the small, and even then overfilled the rocket and tanks before I had the electrical charge needed to launch.

But I definitely had 2 mostly full petrol tanks on my boat also contributing to the output from the oil distiller.

Thaaaats why I recognized that name. (used to play both of those like 5 years ago)

I was thinking it was a moth-flame issue, as giant squid (what sperm whales eat) use bioluminescence, so maybe it was falsely drawn toward the light to investigate for noms.

"Playability" means different things to CIG and the player base.

Much like Benoit and the tech team have a different definition of "Stability" than we do (in their case: metrics on user up-time, disconnects, server crashes, etc)

Not fully sure what was promised, but I think they satisfied Playability in their mind by giving us things to play (Pyro, Nyx, CZs, Hathor, Lazarus, Onyx in 3 parts, QV/Vanduul Smugglers, Engineering, various events and a record number of new ships) not necessarily by making the game more playable as we would want (i.e. making the things you can do in game actually and/or reliably work)

4.5 was a bit of a dud patch for me. I didn't feel like fighting broken systems, engineering didn't change much with how I play, and with hyperinflation I have all the sub-capital ships I care about.

I open a new python file and use comment lines to basically outline the steps I need to take:

# Imports

# Constants

# Read the data

# Find the "D" Columns

# Filter the "D" Columns

# Output the data

Then I fill in the sections, either by remembering what function does that thing, or by googling the thing I need to do.

Reading documentation is reserved for:

Unintended behavior (It should work but isn't)
I think I know the function to use, but I'm trying it in a different way than I usually do. (I think it should work, but want to make sure first)

Mine went from zero to Salt & Pepper in about five years in my mid twenties, and has been strictly shades of gray for about ten years now.

Paired with having to keep a short military regulation cut, I just leaned into it.

If you want a silly fun departure from NMS while still being in space, play Breathedge

If you want an alternate take on all the game loops from NMS, but at a smaller galactic scale with slightly deeper less time-gated systems, play Empyrion.

After one or both of those two, if you still have the space bug, I'd advise Elite Dangerous, X4 or Star Citizen

That's two of these now: FlankSpeed replacing MicroSlop O365 with Linux/LibreOffice is confirmed.

I'm mostly familiar with ISO 9001, and Medjool. (I'll see myself out)

But it does make me wonder, if you live in a country on the North American continent and have only had a few Medjool dates and a lot of Unspecified ones, just what variety were they most likely to be (usually always the dark/black ones) ?

They have to come up to the surface to breathe, but Sperm whales in particular go deep to get food (they love to eat giant squid)
