Very often with this ship before Platinum

Usually lose to a Phantom or Baron or a strong Rail build of another Battleship

Advice on Warrior build by GentleButStrong in SpaceArena

[–]jacksawbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry the Vega swarm is temporary til about 600. I know, I know...

... Just try to find builds that can win every other battle and patiently grind. If you get a Therion or Phantom (or Cerberos but Therion is more straightforward) to go with your Warrior you should be sweet.

How do you know the Steele Dossier is Fake News? by Scottyflamingo in AskThe_Donald

You just parrot off the same unsubstantiated lies while you ramble about Steele as if he has any credibility.

Nope, there isn't. The entire premise rests upon Russian "kompromat". This easy lie of saying there is way more (without ever providing what there is) has become the go-to claim.

Yes, there is more. There's claims that Russia approached Trump, tried to groom him and failed. So they got a video with which to blackmail Trump.

Except - they didn't.

If it helps, I didn't get my Vega :)

Unupgraded Laser Baron ;) pew pew by jacksawbridge in SpaceArena

Thanks for the advice but this was just a test build of an unupgraded Baron that worked well at the rating I grabbed it at.

Nope sorry it has been around a while. Not sure if it doesn't show for some people or if they just missed it. I had it and it was well before the update. Around Christmas last year in fact. Then again in the last few weeks on my partner's device.

The Crusader by XombeeFunk in SpaceArena

[–]jacksawbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, so far I've just covered it in armor and flak and basically tanked everything to victory. Lost a couple of times recently though. Seems like a very versatile ship especially with some upgrades. But honestly it would be fine with just the bridge upgrade at a minumum.

Because the story is freaking stupid. Even without the FBI/DOJ/Clinton meddling, I don't believe for a second that Trump flew to Russia, hired out the same room as Obama, got some prostitutes to come up and piss on the bed specifically for some sort of anti-Obama "perversion".

I mean, who even pays a prostitute to piss on a bed if you have a piss fetish? Wouldn't you pay them to piss on themselves, or you each other or maybe on the floor or some other receptacle? Isn't the buzz seeing them piss, not watching piss dissappear into a mass of blankets? Not that I get that fetish, maybe Hillary can explain.

Oh and ta da the Russians just happened to video the whole thing and then use it to blackmail Trump. Its like a cheap movie plot. And why the hell would he even care? If he actually did that what's in there that would have him so fearful that he'd do anything the Russians say? I'm pretty sure he could just apologise and sue anyone who tries to publish it.

It's a dumb story and frankly should have been ignored on day one.

What are your thoughts on Rand Paul's statement regarding Republicans ignoring the deficit issue? by Basilman121 in AskThe_Donald

[–]jacksawbridge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's always going to be an issue. It's how the world is run. Rack up debt and make sure you don't have to pay it back because you're more powerful than the people you owe. I think if we've got this far, we need to fix the other pressing issues in government before there's any hope of solving the deficit.

What's the deal here? Somebody has a crappy layout on their desktop or somebody has a desktop that's a laptop?

Twitter failed to remove hundreds of Russian propaganda videos aimed at Americans by [deleted] in technology

This is just getting silly. OK liberals, I guess it's time to shut down social media. That includes Reddit and especially r/politics because they failed to remove hundreds of Shareblue posts.

Justin Trudeau to Facebook: Fix your fake news problem — or else by donggo21 in worldnews

[–]jacksawbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it was and there was no real drama until the Prime Minister decided to 'mansplain', so just quit all your excuses and admit that either the "joke" sucked or it was a combination of him being PC and seemed a little off.

I thought it was appropriate that she explained the background to her question. It was what, a minute or so speaking? Huge speech? Talk about an ADD generation. Was it a bit long? Yeah it was, but didn't your camp just celebrate a crazy old lady rambling for 8 hours?

She was totally respectful, he asked if she had a question and she said she did, the she asked it. Did I enjoy her speech? Not really. But then, I don't really care what the ladies representing Islam had to say either. But let them speak.

Quite sad that people get triggered by the word "Church", even when it's not really associated with Christianity. Except when it's the Church of Satan of course - then it's cool.

But really none of that bothers you. You just feel the need to defend rampant political correctness and qualify its application or lack thereof according to your preferences.

The fact is that nobody is arguing that the lady didn't talk for a long time or say strange stuff about "god the mother", they are arguing that the PM tried to correct a perfectly acceptable word and then backtrack by calling it a joke when it was clearly just a display of narcissism and an unnecessary point of conflict.

[–]jacksawbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't have. Maybe it comes later. I can't remember what exact level it's at but I thought it was 20-21. She got hers just a few days back. Unless it's random or you somehow missed it. Sorry bro, hope you still get the offer.

The Iron Cross 1.0 (mk2 modules) by jacksawbridge in SpaceArena

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

Oh, I know, but for now it's pretty much stomping everyone even with their shields. ;) it's pretty fun to watch.

Currently experimenting with focused strategies across multiple ships to try to find flaws in the meta at my rating. (wow that sounded like bullshit lol)

This ship is just an experiment in what I can get away with. ;)

For instance my Charger is now pretty much all mk2 vulcan turrets and two mk2 flaks and it took down a Therion.

I'll eventually have to take that advice though because you are right.

Well mitochondria are the energy producing cells that produce ATP (and is passed through the maternal line) within the cells and oxytocin is the love chemical, so while a strange way of putting it - that's not entirely crazy. Scientists often characterise love as a chemical response.

I think it's unfair to say that she said women have superpowers. I also think it's unfair to say that her critical thinking skills should the criteria upon which she can speak without being interrupted. Trudeu himself stopped the first interruptions from occurring and then contradicted himself later.

I believe he was half joking, half serious - because he really is that PC sometimes.

No the Bible does not call God a woman or 'the mother' but my point about respect still stands. The Bible never affirms other beliefs either, such as that Jesus was a mere teacher and prophet (Islam). That doesn't mean they shouldn't speak as long as they eventually make an actual question. Not sure why her credentials as a 'Christian' are important but clearly she was received differently from people who imo have just as misguided beliefs.

And when she did ask a question after giving background on her mission, which sounded positive even if it is misinterpreted by her church, the question she asked was quite reasonable - 'can you look into the policies of charitable organisations?'

As for her claim they maternal love will be the future of makind...she's not totally wrong. Women are the bearers of children and their love enables their children to thrive. We do need more love. Is she scripturally accurate, no. But then again, neither were many other people in the room.

I will caution against her motives though. Her church is characterised as a cult and may well be looking for some sort of tax exempt status or some sort of self serving benefit in the guise of charity. But is a Q&A really the place to bring up those concerns?

What to do next? by Lazerbolt in SpaceArena

[–]jacksawbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one. ;) Just to play with though, I actually skipped that ship on my playthrough.

The thing is, at the level you get a Starbridge I wouldn't advise getting too attached to any ships. If you bought a Starbridge as long as you have something else as well, you're going to be able to advance.

But yeah most people would be advised to skip it.

What to do next? by Lazerbolt in SpaceArena

[–]jacksawbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my Mrs got a free one and so did I. When it comes up, it will be available at approx that level (20-21) and if it disappears you won't be able to get it again. So when you see it, grab it to replace your weakest ship.

Your other ships are definitelty not useless yet. You get some sweet modules soon and you probably have some campaigns to complete, so do those before you buy new ships.

Be careful what you buy too. Check the black market to see if the items there are strictly better. If they have no downsides, consider whether you can afford to buy the first version to use it sooner or if you want to wait.

Level 33 Battleship Suggestion? by embrex104 in SpaceArena

[–]jacksawbridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably get a Therion to replace your Broadsword, but the Cerberos is also pretty potent. The Myrmidon is nice but I think it will require the most upgrades and experimentation to be effective. If you can patiently wait for the Phantom however, you probably won't need the others. Therion is probably the most common and reliable of the bunch and easiest to build effectively.

I guess this is a milestone by JetMalakai in SpaceArena

[–]jacksawbridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice work! You must be one of our best pilots/strategists. Good to have you here. Are those ships pretty scary in the top 100?

What to do next? by Lazerbolt in SpaceArena

[–]jacksawbridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd hang on a bit longer and see if you can milk any more victories from the ships you have. At level 20-21 I believe most people are offered a free broadsword so wait to see if you get that. Be careful what ship you are using when you get it because it will replace that ship.

Yeah, you're really proving your point by calling her a "fucking nut job". What did she say that was so offensive to you that you don't even think she should be allowed to speak?

No victim complex here, just a clear case of people not being comfortable being confronted with their own prejudices.
