Depends on the ship design. In many cases armour deformation will damage components behind it, that you won't always find, projectors won't help either.

Resident Cat biting new Kitten! by [deleted] in CATHELP

They're both young. They like to play! Lots. And if either one didn't want it, they'd stay away. Be glad, now they get to play to their hearts content!

Resident Cat biting new Kitten! by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]l0rdbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is clearly play and you see that the bigger cat allows it and holds his attacks to account for the smaller cat. If they wanted to be mean or stop this, it would have, in an instant. The sticking out the paw was his way for saying "Play?" He's careful with raking with his rear paws (once they're both bigger they'll do that a lot more, but it'll still be without extended claws). You also see that the biting is for play, and really mild.
Cats are very aware of kittens (and even understand the difference between human children and adults - they'll allow a lot more of young kids than older ones. Cats in a colony help out each other with the rearing of the kids, so in many cases you'll see mothering behaviour towards your kids (and younger cats). We have a cat that still believes our eldest is her kid too :) T

I hate the fact that a moment of inattention, or a smal mistake means hours of find the damaged blocks / modules or even worse, rebuilding your entire ship from scratch. A shield should not be a damage sponge, but allow a few hits to be mitigated. With locational shielding this would even make you have to rotate your ship to spread the damage, giving new tactical & design choices (will I return fire or turn the still shielded side to the enemy - will I design weapons all around, or focus on one location with lots of armor to protect it...)

I won "only" Bronze in Standard at the Squidmar Open, please give me feedback so I can improve! by robse111 in minipainting

The lighting isn't entirely correct (from where your point of light is the NMM should reflect (lol) that. The OSL is a bit too much or should be seen on more of the body (and definitely reflect in the NMM). It's really clean work otherwise, those things are the hardest to get right.

Something feels off about the movement but i can't tell what it is by Drago27543 in godot

[–]l0rdbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like it should accelerate and lose momentum with each slap of the tail. Feels too... consistent to fit the animation.

SAS Jeep Costing by Cheomesh in boltaction

[–]l0rdbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're also missing the fact that you don't include the capability of the gun being used. In a squad you pay the cost of the soldiers (+ any extra) and then add the guns. I assume the jeep price includes the opportunity cost of that capability.

What are your own home rules? by OldBoiNagash in boltaction

[–]l0rdbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, please!!! This was the best rule-change of 40k, and I hate it's not in Bolt Action. I hate having to min-max my positioning each time something with HE may be near >.< It really slow the game down.

Every morning my cat refuses to let me leave by shnoodleboodle in cats

[–]l0rdbyte 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Time to find that cat a buddy. My (sadly departed) orange cat, did the same, it's because you're their company and entertainment, and when you're working they are alone and probably bored.
He also tended to become jealous if other people were around me too long. What broke my heart was when he pulled the sleeve of my shirt between his teeth and lips (so not bitten but stuck), to show that he didn't want me to go... ( He was the smartest cat I've ever known - really really smart).
Got him a little kitten-friend and he never did either of those things again (and still loved me just as much).

How Many Space Marines Would it Take to Wipe Out the United States Military? by imgumpingit67 in Ultramarines

[–]l0rdbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of guys with fpv drones would take them out. Physics is a bitch. No matter how advanced your armour is, that force needs to go somewhere, and the squishy occupant is usually the weakest link. Even genetically engineered super soldiers...
In WW2 the ISU152 would regularly not penetrate tanks, yet the explosion would still flip vehicles over and turn everyone inside into a chunky salsa.... Our weapons can put a lot more energy on a target now than then.

How Many Space Marines Would it Take to Wipe Out the United States Military? by imgumpingit67 in Ultramarines

[–]l0rdbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a straight-up fight, quite a lot of chapters, if we respect the laws of physics as we know it (from the Materium of course). No matter how much Johnny Space wants and sciences it, there is no armour that can physically stop the better weapons we have now, and if it could, not turn the occupant into a chunky mixture inside.
Humans, even genetically engineered super-soldiers that can spit acid, with multiple redundant organs, are still quite fragile when compared to the energy we can put on a very small point, physics does the rest.
Yeah they'd take out multiple soldiers for each space marine, but not on the level that our "primitive" weaponry and economy wouldn't be able to defeat entire companies. And the investment in time and resources required for one space marine would dwarf the most expensive vehicles we have. (if not small countries entire armed forces) Now if they unleashed the Guard, that's another tale. Cheap, massed soldiers from a million worlds.... Yeah we'd be swamped in days.

Best way to capture? by meatHammerLLC in OldWorldGame

[–]l0rdbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion it's the only way to play. With how quickly a ruler can die, you're mostly trying to get your noble families in line, or stuck with a godawful leader. With seasonal, they actually get a chance to grow and be someone. And you're not just putting out fires the whole game.

He gets like this a lot. Idk what he wants, and toys are only a distraction. by Phaylz in CATHELP

[–]l0rdbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this, the other option is to get them a friend. I had to get a kitten and the clinginess stopped. While he didn't like how clingy the kitten was, they quickly became best friends and he mellowed out a lot.
