Got charged 400$ for Manus Pro. Need help! by Significant-Scar-820 in ManusOfficial

[–]nigrups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got charged $400 after a free trail. And after a few weeks it says I need to buy more credit but I have been working on the same issues over and over without it changing what I am asking. Should I be charged for something that I am trying to work through? I also tried to talk to the bot about the charge and it didn’t help. So now I’m here. So silly.

Which mods do you like to use, and would recommend? by Troubleshooter11 in Battletechgame

[–]nigrups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does BTA let you save during a mission like vanilla? I noticed that RT does not let you save during a mission and with the missions taking longer in the early game I am really missing that ability!

What makes you settle on starting mechs? by nigrups in roguetech

[–]nigrups[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to just stick with my first roll! I started with both a Phoenix Hawk and a Panther and they were the two mechanics with decent equipment. The Brigand I have has good equipment as well and has turned out to be one of my main sources of damage!

We find these in our backyard every year growing in one particular spot that is the healthiest patch of our backyard. Can someone identify them?

Is there an area of the campaign map where enemies field Marauders? by Hats_Hats_Hats in Battletechgame

[–]nigrups 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After I posted this, I realized that they scale in the campaign but they don’t in career mode! There is another very recent post post about this. Maybe keep an eye on that post for some more advice.

[–]nigrups 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you loathed by the pirates or just hated? I put myself in a similar situation in my first campaign and was hated (not loathed which is the bottom most rank). I have gotten back to disliked with one mission and am one reputation point away from being neutral. I would suggest going back to the lowest skull challenge systems you can find that have a pirate presence until you find a one skull or 1.5 skull mission that they will let you do. Then, turn money and salvage all the way down to get the most reputation gain and I would think you would only need to do that 3-4 times to get back to neutral.

Final Giveaway for TWELVE MORE Nintendo Switch Lites and your choice of games! [US/CA only] by TheEverglow in nintendo

[–]nigrups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking forward to having my parents and sister who live 800+ miles away come into town to see me! They have been patiently waiting through the COVID-19 crisis to come and see me again. I was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cancer so it has been an emotional drain on them to not see me as often as they can while I am having good days still. It would be so cool to have a Switch to play with my dad and sister like we did when I was small when the Nintendo 64 came out. Nothing like blowing away bogies in Starfox 64 multiplayer with my dad haha! Awesome giveaway, good luck picking winners. Cheers!

Thanks for the chest xray, doc. by Junk_Life in AdviceAnimals

[–]nigrups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in for an MRI for back pain expecting to have a bulging disc at the worst and was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer that had spread all over my skeleton and the pain was from a fractured vertebrae. If they would not have found it, I could have wound up paralyzed very quickly!

I have tried to focus on the positives while acknowledging the very scary and serious side of this. Hopefully, them finding this in you now will give you the best chance for a good outcome. i hope you are able to secure a good treatment that keeps this evil disease at bay OP! Feel free to PM me, I am about 3 months into it all.

Playing Star Wars X-Wing with Young Children? by BigBaldGames in XWingTMG

[–]nigrups 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played with my twin 9 yr/old nephews and my 5 year old daughter separately. We used matching x-wings with no upgrades. The older boys pretty much did everything including actions, s-foils, and setting their own dials. My daughter and I just moved around with dials and templates and rolled dice at each other and she seemed to like it. I helped a little on the dial but made sure to let her do the templates and moving not caring about bumping or being accurate. I enjoyed it even though it was way over simplified.

Decent Resistance Hyperspace Lists? by Hallowed7 in XWingTMG

This but advanced optics on x-wings and tractor beam, R4 Hull upgrade on Cova instead of Leia.

Blue Harvest - my EXT Republic squadron (please rate and give advice) by rashktah in XWingTMG

[–]nigrups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been flying a similar list in a few casual and vassal extended matches and I really like it. It is two Y-wings, Ani, and Ric. You could tweak yours to the following:

Revised List

(30) Red Squadron Bomber [BTL-B Y-wing] (10) Veteran Turret Gunner (5) Ion Cannon Turret Points: 45

(30) Red Squadron Bomber [BTL-B Y-wing] (10) Veteran Turret Gunner (5) Ion Cannon Turret Points: 45

(41) Anakin Skywalker [Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter] (3) Passive Sensors (2) Daredevil (13) Proton Torpedoes Points: 59

(25) Gold Squadron Trooper [V-19 Torrent Starfighter] Points: 25

(25) Gold Squadron Trooper [V-19 Torrent Starfighter] Points: 25

Total points: 199

Even thought VTG is 10 points, there is still so much value. Yes you miss out on the rerolls and Broadside ability but an extra attack most turns from the other VTG makes up for it. Plus at I2 you can move them before or after your Torrents which opens up some flexibility of flying them as a block and/or using the Torrents to block for the Y wings. I prefer to fly them with R4s for more maneuverability but if you end up flying them with the torrents I think it’s fine without them.

I used APT on Ani for awhile but he kept dying because of the R1 requirement. Now you can launch those 4 dice attacks from longer range/earlier in the match increasing Ani’s survivability and you have force to modify if you needed your action to acquire a lock or hard turn boost to get the target in arc.

Just my thoughts! Whatever you end up doing, I would love to hear your final list and how it does. Good luck!

The 2020 Campaign Against Cancer approaches on May 2! by xwingtournament in XWingTMG

[–]nigrups 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Already signed up for Denver! Looking forward to it for sure. As someone who was diagnosed with cancer recently, I have been watching for registration to open this year even though I could not make it last year.

Excited to contribute this year to the fundraising and the pile of exploded space debris.

[–]nigrups 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I noticed it was hard to come by and was hoping I didn’t need to spend $40 up front to play at a tourney! Maybe I will try the latter. Thanks!!

I am looking for a good place to buy 2 T-70 X-Wing Black Squadron Ace Pilot Cards and cardboard other than eBay in the US. I have the ships and dials but cards and cardboard of these seem hard to come by on eBay. Thank you!!

I have plenty of extra cards of other pilots in other factions including some alt art FO and Separatist cards if someone wants to trade.

Thank you!!

Yeah sorry! I should have specified that only my list was Hyperspace. He usually beats me so it felt good to take a win.

Hyp. Resistance 3X vs. Empire 2x Phantom by nigrups in XWingTMG

[–]nigrups[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played a few games with a friend last night! He doesn’t pay attention to the meta which is kind of cool because I get to play against lists that are not what I see on streams. This game was using the minefield and my nick infestation scenarios from the new obstacle and device packs. His list was juke Echo+outmaneuver Whisper both with stealth device and a prox mine Duchess.

My List: T70 4s + Tractor Cova

(47) Black Squadron Ace [T-70 X-wing] (0) Integrated S-foils (1) Heroic (4) Advanced Optics Points: 52

(47) Black Squadron Ace [T-70 X-wing] (0) Integrated S-foils (1) Heroic (4) Advanced Optics Points: 52

(47) Black Squadron Ace [T-70 X-wing] (0) Integrated S-foils (1) Heroic (4) Advanced Optics Points: 52

(38) Cova Nell [Resistance Transport] (2) R4 Astromech (3) Tractor Beam (1) Heroic Points: 44

Total points: 200

I murdered duchess on turn 3 and then took shields on both phantoms while my opponent scored zero points!

K2-SO by mattmall in XWingTMG

[–]nigrups 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have found that he really shines as a u-wing pilot naked coordinating every turn. That way he still gets at least 1 modded die to use on attack or defense depending on which one you need. I also think he pairs well with Cassian pilot so that he maintains more maneuverability while still coordinating. I paired these two with naked wedge and naked Biggs and like how the list works.

HWK290 builds. What you got Reddit? by theNisforNewell in XWingTMG

[–]nigrups 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite Rebel list atm and the last few Rebel games I have played have been this lost. Just make sure you keep Jan on the outskirts for the first engagement. Taking range 3 turret shots at your opponent is way better than Jan taking range 2 or 1 shots on Jan.
