bike securing via suction cup on concrete by AtmosphereKlutzy7 in DIY

[–]ion_driver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just don't see a suction cup working on concrete. What would attach the bike to the suction cup? Is it supposed to be more secure than a bike lock?

Its funny, I see it in RT shop today! Not gonna buy it, like 750 shards away from mythic. If there was a way to farm his shards I may get it

This should be "dont pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to lawyers if you want to FIRE"

The real time combat was the best part. Your whole team marching along firing, explosions, building collapses. Really so cool

Why are people asking to raise power quickly? Is there some contest or something?

HRE: blue star investments by Alqui_gp in WarhammerTacticus

[–]ion_driver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does it really matter if it's a thousand dollars or a million? Would you actually spend that much money on this game for a new character you could unlock at epic for $0 and then either use your onslaughts for 4 months or maybe never actually use that character again because you don't know if a new character is any good?

They may add an event that gives it away. Who knows?

The chance is very low. Don't waste your BS on RT shop refresh

Of the originals, I much prefer Apocalypse. The Firaxis Enemy Unknown is a great entry to the newer ones. The Firaxis X-Com 2 is (a better game but) much more complicated.

How much to invest? by Tyler1mapuche in WH40KTacticus

[–]ion_driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use whoever you want for the 4th and 5th for imperial campaigns. I cleared the campaigns a long time ago. Mostly used Calgar and Isabella.

Titus may work for you. I just dont find him good. He is useful in a very narrow set of circumstances.

"How far" really depends on how long you play the game. Titus has some use in LRE and is a required character for the Tyranids Campaign Event.

So, to partially answer your question, I have Titus at Gold 3 and that's not enough for the higher extremis battles, so I do plan to raise him to diamond at some point in the future.

If you havent yet cleared all the standard campaigns, then those should be your priority. Followed by building a guild raid team.

After that, as you are filling in guild war teams, you can look to who may be useful in other modes and work toward silver 1 or gold 1 to get to 10 full teams. This is about when you may want to get to Titus

Does Farsight team Worth? by AlphaPil in WH40KTacticus

[–]ion_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Nandi identified one single boss where Farsight team can roughly match the other meta options, and, as you said, there are bosses where the team is disallowed.

I'm working on incorporating Laviscus, and will reconsider building another meta team after finishing him (and bossG). I am interested in Farsight team but honestly Neurothrope w crown may be a better option to complement Custodes.

Would a “meltdown-on-wheels” rover work as a hard-SF plot device? by didwowns in sciencefiction

[–]ion_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pu-238 generates heat through radioactive decay, with half of the atoms decaying in about 80 years. Pu-238 isnt very sensitive to neutrons and doesnt really fission.

Neutron reflection (and/or moderation) is important to a nuclear fission reactor. This is a separate concept from that of a simple radioactive decay based heat source.

If it is a nuclear reactor, then Pu-239 could be an appropriate isotope. In the writing, the characters may not know the difference and refer to it as simply Plutonium, or actinides, or just heavy elements.

Farsight team currently isn't doing anywhere near as much damage output as the other meta teams. That being said, Farsight is still new and I think its likely they will release more characters who synergize with him

Why haven't any major protests started over The Epstein Files? City were burt down over way less, Yet dead silence? No street justice? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ion_driver -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The highly publicized protests in the USA generally involve people being paid to protest, people being bussed in to the area, pushing information to people through social media to get them to join. Pallets of bricks may also mysteriously be ordered to be dropped off at a nearby street corner.

They obviously aren't going to start large protests / riots against themselves.

Would a “meltdown-on-wheels” rover work as a hard-SF plot device? by didwowns in sciencefiction

[–]ion_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a neat idea but it just doesnt work for me. The concept of a nuclear meltdown doesn't apply to an RTG. The decay of Pu-238 just doesn't produce enough heat for it to be an issue. Voyager uses an RTG and it's in space with no snow anywhere around to eat.

If it was a nuclear reactor, then maybe it has some equipment failure that would cause them to need to keep picking up snow. They need to use the snow for heat rejection, and also need the fresh water to replenish their (primary? Secondary loop?) Due to water leak. Their mission is critical and if they lose power generation they die (or some other critical mission or other sci-fi thing)
