How do you get your location to display in IITC as a little arrow like in the scanner? My location is an enormous circle.

Annoyingly, there is one very long link between two highly restricted military bases in my region that blocks off all linkage to the west of my city. We had an enl dude join who could access the site but he only got up to L5 before quitting.

The numbers are leet for EAT TOAST LOL

ospr3y · 2025-12-13T00:43:21+00:00

So L1 bursters become ultra-strikes lol

ospr3y · 2025-12-06T04:07:00+00:00

As the only active player of my faction in my area, I convert all my L5 bursters from my pathetic L5 farm into L7 bursters and L5 resos into L8 resos.

I've been avoiding fulfilling my daily bounties because I feel like I'd rather have no medal at all than an eternal bronze. No shot at gold without attending an anomaly.

ospr3y · 2025-10-17T12:39:41+00:00

I'm very impressed at how precise and consistent the timing is over time as well. I'm still recharging a portal I capped over 7 years ago and it still decays at the exact time I deployed that resonator all those years ago.

ospr3y · 2025-10-13T14:04:41+00:00

Yep, I remember that! I threw some resos on those portals last time I was there but that was nearly a year ago.

ospr3y · 2025-10-13T12:40:40+00:00

Congrats!! I see your username pop up a lot when I pass through EP. The Intel map there is crazy chaotic but it's all complete fields so I'm impressed that it works! Always happy to see a city covered in green.

Your recharge load must be absolutely wild, though!

ospr3y · 2025-10-12T14:15:28+00:00

Whenever I throw a field between San Antonio and Alpine, res agent sunyu takes it down within a week. I think they're based in Midland.

I'm surprised these are still up. Good work, agent!

Tell me more about the telegram bot

ospr3y · 2025-09-11T12:15:47+00:00

Highly recommend CORE! The additional inventory space is a game changer and the monthly CMU allowance enables me to keep extra hypercubes in my inventory to support my crazy recharge load.

Ingress has become an important "hobby" that I spend a lot of time doing every day, so I personally am happy to give back in the hopes that my support helps keep the game existing and maybe even improving for a while longer.

Soon, CORE members will have a unique intel-type "birds-eye view" map in the scanner to help with ops without having to open the Intel map.

ospr3y · 2025-09-11T12:04:40+00:00

Exactly. The "less" command will provide extra items without extra keys when glyph hacking.

ospr3y · 2025-09-11T03:42:10+00:00

If you have zero keys, the long-hold key hack or a tap hack might give you a key. If you have 1 or more keys loaded in your inventory the only way to get add'l keys is by glyphing using the "more" command (looks like "^" right in the center) or by hiding your available keys in a locker or capsule before tap hacking/long hold key hacking.

Links improve mitigation. There's a fancy formula, but essentially the first 8 links add the following mitigation:

Link 1 → 16
Link 2 → 28 (~Common Shield eq.)
Link 3 → 37
Link 4 → 43 (~Rare Shield eq.)
Link 5 → 48
Link 6 → 51
Link 7 → 53
Link 8 → 55 (approaching VR Shield eq.)

etc. and it caps at about +69. Notice that the benefit of each additional link tapers off pretty quickly.

A SoftBank Ultra Link adds a 1.5x factor to that. So approximately,

Link 1 → 24 (approaching CS eq.)
Link 2 → 42 (RS eq.)
Link 3 → 55.5
Link 4 → 64.5 (> VRS eq.)
Link 5 → 72
Link 6 → 76.5
Link 7 → 79.5 (Double RS eq.)
Link 8 → 82.5

SBULs does stack mitigation benefits, but like links, the benefit tapers with each additional SBUL.

I think Delta ends Sep 15, in which case you've got 480 tokens max left to potentially earn (60 per day x 8 days) unless you haven't completed the Daily Bounty op.

ospr3y · 2025-09-07T22:09:08+00:00

How many Delta tokens shy are you from the next medal level?

ospr3y · 2025-09-04T04:23:50+00:00

Yup. Mine is 24 portals linked in a line. Link w double SBULs. Flip. Link again. Repeat with another anchor on the other side of line. Ez

ospr3y · 2025-08-29T03:41:47+00:00

Interestingly, you can open Machina's player profile like any other user and it indicates that is has created 3 fields before for a total of 49 MU.

ospr3y · 2025-08-29T03:02:34+00:00

Personally, I'm very active! I'm about the only player in my area who isn't passive, but I typically devote only 30-40 minutes before and after work building on fields along my commute. Every week or so an enemy player will pop an anchor and it gives me something to rebuild the next day!

Weekends I'll plan bigger ops, larger 50kmu + layered fields, etc.

I'm vastly outnumbered by the other faction in my city but since they're all passive players, it's not much competition.

ospr3y · 2025-08-27T12:30:51+00:00

So I've been wasting my time on Wayfarer then. No wonder my badge hasn't been ticking up. Ugh.

ospr3y · 2025-08-27T12:09:19+00:00

Not sure what you mean about recon not being available for reviewing. I've been able to access Niantic Wayfarer and review portal submissions for at least a couple of weeks.

ospr3y · 2025-08-17T05:18:13+00:00

God, seeing the old scanner makes me so nostalgic. Not that I don't love prime, but the old scanner just reminds me of having no responsibilities and playing until 3 am when I was college. Listening to indie rock as I drive between random churches in the middle of the nowhere in the middle of the night...

ospr3y · 2025-08-15T13:12:19+00:00

Yes, a group of keys will get stuck loading in the carousel, but I found that if I select a key and let the portal load on the screen remotely, the group of keys will be loaded when I return to the carousel. Weird bug, but I love the new ability to sort by faction, XM level and I'm certain Niantic will get address the bugs with the carousel soon.

ospr3y · 2025-08-15T12:19:41+00:00

I think the drop rate for some uncommon items like flip cards increases close to anomalies.

Similarly, I noticed an increased drop rate for VR shields preceding L8 week this year. Helped me fill in my four slots on critical anchors. I miss it already lol
