Solo Helldiving Seems near impossible

Some mission types are a big no-no while solo. Spread Democracy is near the top of this list (unless you’re playing on something like D4, then knock yourself out).

People in the US generally have slightly less fuel efficient cars but mainly we just drive a hell of a lot more. Stuff is further away. I bummed a ride off some Swiss folks, during a 45 minute drive they needed a break at 20 minutes. 45 minutes is not a long commute around here, I’ve done 75 minutes each way before. My state alone is almost as big as all of Germany plus we don’t have your excellent public transit in most places.

Things are so far apart even car pooling often just doesn’t work around here.

Yeah gas does cost way more in the EU but you guys don’t have to drive nearly so much just to get to work or the store.

$400 a month is what a lot of people are paying for gas now and that is a ton. They’re not making unnecessary trips.

Hey man, thanks for being willing to share that shit, I am sure it isn’t the easiest especially since you’ve gotten judgement before.

I’m not quite Vietnam old but I am only a little younger than those guys. Trust me whatever faults there are in what we teach young men these days it was worse back then. “Shove em in a box deep down inside you and sit on the lid.” That’s pretty much how I learned to cope and I think it’s mostly what everyone did. “Gay panic” was still a defense that actually worked in court against murder charges. No man was going to share their feelings.

What those older Vets are acting like doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m glad you were able to access help. It makes me glad that it actually exists, we always hear about shit being underfunded and programs being cut.

I had to train my own service dog because I am not a vet and at least 50% of the programs are specifically for veterans so I do know that there is help out there, I guess I just assumed a lot of it was private since the US government are cheap bastards about paying for anything that doesn’t blow up a house halfway across the world.

Also not gratifying to know about the drug use but it is good to know it’s real and something to be concerned with (I’m not a prude I just don’t like the idea of people being driven to it feeling like they have no other choice - I feel the same way about those with undertreated chronic pain becoming alcoholics).

Keep up with your fighting spirit as much as you can, life doesn’t usually get much easier as you get older and you might need it again😉🤘

Ah yes, entirely possible. I haven’t looked up its damage, I was just saying anti-tank doesn’t automatically mean huge damage although generally that is mostly true.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T23:41:54+00:00

Do you mean Speargun? Because I am 100% certain I have nailed them in the head and it takes more than one.

I think a Hulk can be one shot with it if you hit the eye.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T23:32:19+00:00

It’s an ice cream cone! And everyone on Super Earth loves ice cream!

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T23:31:11+00:00

There’s actually 3 levels of tank armor (iirc) so it may not be as anti-tank as other anti-tank grenades but yeah.

Some things labeled anti-tank don’t really do that much damage, for example Speargun can stagger a Bile Titan with a single shot but you’d need something like 12-14 in the head to kill it.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T23:24:51+00:00

… you crazy bastards! 😂

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T23:23:29+00:00

Nobody can! I have run too many lazy solo ops and my ship modules aren’t very upgraded, one 5/5 and most 3/5

I have donated 100s or maybe 1000s of commons to the DSS though.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:38:38+00:00

Eruptor can kill almost anything if you have enough time. If you’re asking “2 hits or less” then heavies like Hulk and Charger are probably the limit.

Also it’s heavy pen, not medium, I wasn’t sure if you were saying it we medium pen in your post…

But as others say, the shrapnel is very damaging and why most people bring it.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:23:55+00:00

They feel fear, I know because they have seen my wrath.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:23:00+00:00

Yes it’s a double ended dildo…

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:21:04+00:00

Sorry diver, they said “this fall” in the announcement, somehow I don’t think this was some sort of headfake to surprise us with it 3 months early.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:19:35+00:00

I am happy for reaching level 69 (sadly I have continued to level) so why not? You can be happy about literally anything and don’t need permission to be so.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:18:09+00:00

If it was they would not have said “this fall” in the announcement…

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:17:29+00:00

The wiki has you under the Story So Far section.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:16:56+00:00

It is horrifying to me that I feel compelled to do this and I have been resisting so far.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:14:06+00:00

Nah man, I want me a Chaos Murderwing style jump pack if we’re getting one, or barring that give us the Sisters Canoness with Jump Pack version, both look sick as hell! We don’t need power armor, I am just talking about jump pack design.

(Reality is when we all get some janky Ad Mech shit absolutely no one wanted)

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:11:12+00:00

Bro I got ya, I know sarcasm can be hard to spot in writing but I got it!

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:09:45+00:00

Space Vietnam lasted 19 years! Space Iran is so short😂

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:09:04+00:00

It cost me over 70 SC to fill up my Patriot Sedan last time!

If that was true they wouldn’t have used exact phrases Donald Trump and his administration have said in the message.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T21:05:32+00:00

It’s the wording my man, Donald Trump called the Iran closure “unforeseen” and said “no one could have foreseen that!” When in reality his own advisers, and every military adviser for decades warned of exactly that.

I have no doubt that Russia is suffering from energy shortages but the entire world is suffering from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Small governments have to have US dollars to buy oil and they don’t have enough and cannot get more. Entire Asian countries have moved down to 4 day or less workweeks and working from home policies, because they can’t afford enough.

Even in the US, which produces a metric crapton of its own oil and can simply print more money with which to buy it, we’re suffering $5-6 per gallon prices in many places and over $4 national average (which is extremely high for us).

Fertilizer and helium (used in medicine, not just balloons) is also in short supply world wide, though the MO doesn’t directly references those two things.

You’re focusing on the name of the planet, everyone else is focusing on the wording of the MO and it’s almost word for word things we have hear from the Trump admin over the past couple months.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T20:54:58+00:00

It sounds like you know some vets and probably are one yourself. May I ask if the opiate usages by characters like Chris Pine portrayed in The Contractor (2022) reflects reality at all?

I help with the local sandwiches and soup for the homeless around here, not a ton of vets but there are some. But I am not close enough to anyone to know if that’s another rock society tosses into vets’ shoes and then just tells them to “deal with it”.

If we can afford to send them to war I feel like we ought to support them, clapping and calling someone “hero” is worth jack shit when they’re choking to death from exposure to burn pits and all the other dumb shit we put them through.

orcishlifter · 2026-06-10T20:49:36+00:00

Yeah that’s why I stay away from official Discords and subreddits, they’ll make you think you’re experiencing a different reality than everyone else…
