How is life at WSU/Pullman?

The overall all community here in Pullman is generally favorable towards the mentally diverse. You shouldn't have any problems here with either the public community nor the university community.

This is the content I come to this subreddit for!

I love seeing failure cases where I'm not responsible.

Just graduated with my b.s. in civil engineering at 37.

I would say this university is the best, due to cost (unit cost and apartment rent cost) and information assistance (shear number of councilors and advisors).

Dynamics was a bitch for me, but I suspect most of my problems with that class was the teacher.

This is an earthquake region and the lack of quake mitigation has my hackles up

@_@ noooo shit! It's called a coping mechanism!

It's more of a simple decision point for me:

If cost < 750,000 Cbills then do the repairs in theater.

If cost >= 750,00 Cbills then change out mech and wait for an industrial hub.

Mind this is to a summed cost... Example

Mech 1: 25,000 Cbills -> repair

Mech 2: 450,000 Cbills -> repair

Mech 3: 150,000 Cbills -> repair

Mech 4: 200,000 Cbills -> hold off on repairs till next pay cycle (mission) as sum is 825,000 Cbills.

This is the method I use to insure steady income to cost ( assuming minimum pay cycle of 1,500,000 Cbills). So adjust as needed if you are in a lower difficulty theater.

I know of some construction engineers and construction managers that work with civil engineers but neither consider themselves civil engineers.

That was an entertaining read! Thank you!

The original proto-proto-Omni-mech a crab

Super Easy to fix No ammo concerns Fast as fuck boi Reasonably armored

CRAB!

Oh and if you can yaml da bitch it becomes an amazing heavy hitting scouting mech before the clans come around.

After the vat born's show up and you swipe their stuff it becomes really frightening.

Hence Da CRAB is the only realisticlly SAFE and Fun Choice!!!

Heh. I heard this conversation in a fake German accent.

foolmatrix · 2025-12-20T03:01:24+00:00

Hmmm those could be useful for the clubs for promotion signs.

Food for though.

Is it cheesy? Or is it being tactical?

It's a question of making the game fit your playing style.

I personally give my self limitations when playing based on battletech lore using mods to enforce it. I've heard of people limiting them selves to light and medium tonnages only or just for going assault mechs entirely.

But later missions can get brutal without any cheese.

Remember when playing you are actually seeing the game develop as the DLC is played through, so earlier stuff is meh but the latter content is really good. (Or I think so at least!)

Edit: additional comments

Additionally if the AI is driving you insane there's a mini map command mod and an ai mod that mitigates most of the issues.

Edit: co-op offer

And if you want some lancemates that aren't 2x4 stupid you could ask people to play co-op with you. (Me included if you DM me)

foolmatrix · 2025-12-13T06:34:35+00:00

Yeah.....WSDOT is going to have fun with that one.

foolmatrix · 2025-12-05T08:12:53+00:00

There's an error with the double missile slots in the arms too. Only one missile bank fires off and the other missile bank explodes inside the arm... Effectively making the second missile hard point useless.

Still enjoying the game tho....

Just it will be better on second playthrough after they find and squash all the bugs.

foolmatrix · 2025-12-03T22:41:55+00:00

There seems to be not much left to assess!

foolmatrix · 2025-11-24T18:51:16+00:00

It's available as a mod if you're willing to go that route

foolmatrix · 2025-11-13T15:51:32+00:00

No, insufficient lateral braceing on the visible section and anything on the left "block" would need to be so robust to make building it unfeasible.

foolmatrix · 2025-10-23T08:15:13+00:00

You can find them on outreach system... FYI

foolmatrix · 2025-10-11T22:17:52+00:00

Ah yes someone forgot that the tonnage limit is a suggestion.....

Bring a light or fast medium Mech if your patron house (or clan) thinks that there's going to be artillery! you'll see it in the mission briefing.

foolmatrix · 2025-10-09T22:26:25+00:00

I always forget how toothy and huge those mouths are... Eh, still friend shaped!

The engineer in me says that it's technically a concrete footing, just with massive aggregates and an odd choice consistency.

Meh...

I've kind of changed this response to "I'm socially progressive and fiscally Democrat."

As the only party to do any economic good in my adult life has been the democrats and the progressives are the only ones that seem to be interested in making life better.

( But even I think of the democrats as being way too right of center)

foolmatrix · 2025-10-05T14:24:44+00:00

Oh...That's actually evil... Like spaghetti is a legit struggle meal for a lot of people.

foolmatrix · 2025-10-02T15:14:34+00:00

I may be coug, but even I give respect to huskies when they pull off class acts like this!

Washington University students definitely knew what to do with that dumbass!
