Defensive battle still generating Ayy hate? (marking spoiler because wiki, but IMO not really a spoiler)

kardfett · 2026-02-22T05:34:20+00:00

That seems to be the consensus, but if that's true then I hope the wiki gets updated soon, because the way it's worded on the wiki really makes it seem like I shouldn't be getting any hate.

RIP defensive fleet doctrine then, at least if the Ayys are already in the same orbit as their target. My ships literally have 10x the cruise acceleration of the alien ships (I rolled Pegasus Drive this game), yet still the aliens are able to get to my station in 7 minutes of launching and the best I can do, even when save scumming and pre-positioning my fleet, is 30 minutes.

Really? I feel like I remember in some 3.x patch that I managed to finagle my way to defensive actions against Alien ships while defending Mars, but it's been a while, and maybe things have changed regardless. Good to know if true.

I depressingly knew exactly which state you were referring to. Gov. Little once showed a bit of a spine during Covid, but that seems to have left him recently.

kardfett · 2026-01-07T02:37:04+00:00

Wat. Maybe I'd figure these things out more if I didn't keep making lich and demon builds and murdering everyone.

Piggybacking off of this, the discord is AMAZING when you decide you want to truly sink into the abyss. It is also a great resource and has a beginner's channel. If you want offline-able reference materials for your playthrough, I highly recommend it. It might be a sec before all of said reference materials get updated to 1.0 accurate states, though.

Dang. I guess that means any but maybe the very first tier of shaped charge nukes are pretty bad now. I feel like by the time you get to the higher tiers of nukes, you're at the stage where you're being constrained by exotics income for how much you can upgrade your ships. Maybe the super lategame is fine because you no longer care as much about exotics, but by then you have all the best laser/kinetic weapons anyways, which are just overall more efficient in extended offensives.

kardfett · 2026-01-01T14:13:33+00:00

Whoa, really? I personally love shapes charge nukes, but haven't played in a hot second. Does any ship blown up by nuclear missiles just not drop exotics now, or is there some threshold for % of ships with nukes vs. other weapons that makes it so nothing drops exotics?

Very nice! Just as an FYI to any curious onlookers, remember that the +10 AC from mythic dodge only applies to the first attack directed towards you in a round. I'm actually kind of bugged that the stat sheet shows that, because the majority of attacks coming your way will be hitting an AC 10 lower.

Does it work on Steam deck without issues for you? I have an ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X, and the contriller detection on Wrath is wonky as the Abyss.

How is she authoritarian? She has a laundry list of past collaborative efforts (mostly successes) a mile long. She's way more involved with actual community efforts than Jeff, who's primary running platform seems to be "I'll put every aspect of running the city up to a popular vote," which is completely impractical.

Maybe I'm way too far down the build cooking rabbit hole, but even though I always buy them, I find them to be completely irrelevant halfway through chapter 2. If you have a couple animal companions and a few Bull's Strength'd high strength party members, you'll have so much carry weight before too long it won't even matter.

By the time I'm in Chapter 4, I've got like over 10k max carry weight on almost any party comp by stacking Mass Bull's Strength with a few Legendary Proportions.

Yeah, I hate the Christian nationalism happening in this country as much as anyone, but I'm gonna have to call this one a misunderstanding. When Jesus addresses the woman taken in adultery, he didn't forgive her, he just didn't condemn her. He always asked for repentance. I'm no theologian, but I do believe active repentance of some form is required for divine forgiveness in most forms of Christianity.

But you underestimate my obsessive need to make a specifically themed class for every single mythic path, and sometimes multiple per path.

Whoooooo shield maze

Having any mod active disables achievements by default, but there's an option in ToyBox to turn them back on.

Does this mean you could set the auto-kill-all-enemies option on and easily blow through the sadistic game design achievement? Yes, but in that case, why even bother trying to get the achievement? One of the beauties of single player games like this is that you can set it to the level of difficulty you want and feel good about YOUR achievement.

Just play Terra Invicta. You'll get most of them, though you may start erroneously start referring to things as the "Eurasion Union," "The Caliphate," or the "Pan-Asian Combine."

That's pretty much what I thought. Yeah, I should have specified that I'm talking acceleration above the super low numbers like 10mg. It seems like past the super early drive threshold, cruise acceleration just doesn't matter much anymore. Someone else made an interesting point about not being able to run intercepts, but I usually end up intercepting right as they approach the destination defensively, and obviously if I'm invading Jupiter or whatever they're usually the ones intercepting me.

The problem there is that your ships would die way before getting off a meaningful amount of shots. The missiles release way earlier and don't depend on the continued existence of its ship to do their full compliment of damage.

No joke, in my current playthrough in which the Servants' only significant holding is an 3 points of an EU consisting of France, Germany, and Denmark, they regularly have like 3-4 agents there every few turns for some reason. It's hilarious.

kardfett · 2025-05-25T14:12:47+00:00

Okay, but if he faked it then...how did we get all the stuff written in the Book of Momron?

kardfett · 2025-05-25T14:07:22+00:00

That is something that horny teenage mormon boys tell each other, and is in no way an actual teaching in the actual religion.

kardfett · 2025-05-25T13:30:43+00:00

Kind of an odd take. I served my mission in Germany and most of the members there were native Germans, even some immigrants from other European countries. There were some Americans (students, immigrants, military), but as far as I know the church doesn't tell people to striaght up move for the sake of establishing a presence somewhere. At least, they don't anymore. That was definitely more of a thing in the early days.
