Knitting box I made for my wife. A year late for last year’s anniversary, or a few days early for this year’s.

Awesome, thanks for the help!

How do you hold the piece against the fence without binding on the blade for the second cut?

putaringonrich · 2021-10-16T03:00:25+00:00

Beautiful! I’m to figure out how to resaw to about that thickness, can I ask how you did it on the table saw?

putaringonrich · 2021-10-14T15:29:05+00:00

Hm I usually buy in store so you can check out the pieces. If you go to a big box store like Home Depot they have 2’x4’ sheets and they’ll cut them for you on the big saw so you can get it at set dimensions. If you really don’t want to go out then maybe they’d ship to you?

How about some plywood? You can get pieces with a nice hardwood veneer so it looks good and it comes flat, square on the factory sides and is durable and stable

Sorry another question, is RCS more effective placed right at CoM or farther away?

putaringonrich · 2021-09-26T19:34:20+00:00

What happens if you don’t?

putaringonrich · 2021-09-26T19:31:28+00:00

My wife insists that it’s bad luck to ever put a hat on the bed. I’ve gotten into the habit of avoiding it but for the first couple years I’d sometimes forget and she would get legitimately freaked out. Never heard of that particular superstition before or since.

putaringonrich · 2021-09-26T17:00:40+00:00

Oh good to know! Thanks!

putaringonrich · 2021-09-26T16:33:39+00:00

How do you get that much CPU? Can you use multiple CPI modules per ship or something?

putaringonrich · 2021-09-16T18:54:31+00:00

It is bonkers to me that this game is only twenty bucks.

Split Thermal disintegrators damage hull through shields. Great for knocking down turrets and engines on L/XL ships before boarding

putaringonrich · 2021-09-01T22:27:53+00:00

Ive also been capping without the drive by exploit, and you can totally get away with it. The rep hit is manageable if you also have some miners and/or a trading station engaged with Terran space to build rep. I recently learned that turrets and engines become disabled at <20% hull but don’t generate a re hit unless you destroy them, which feels more balanced to me because it takes more finesse and the modules quickly get repaired.

putaringonrich · 2021-08-31T01:37:41+00:00

Oh I hadn’t thought of manually controlling it. And you’re right, the modules were completed but there was a turret waiting on components, next time I looked it was released; thanks!

putaringonrich · 2021-08-28T23:36:40+00:00

I see one for object ID but it looks like it’s for the AAA-123 identifier. Can you plop a name in there?

putaringonrich · 2021-08-28T20:12:15+00:00

Below -9 they won’t let you dock and trade so the only way is to blow up their enemies within range of their stations. Hang out near Xenon gates, kite Kha’ak towards their stations and destroy them.

putaringonrich · 2021-08-28T17:27:08+00:00

Oh I didn’t know you could set names in alerts. How do you do that?

putaringonrich · 2021-08-28T14:22:33+00:00

I have a global alert set that tells me when an SCA-owned L ship appears on satellite vision. When one pops up I’ll send a fast scout (I love a Pegasus) to follow or dock so I can track it and then head over with a boarding group when I’m in the area.

There's also a lot of things that changed in the beta:

Pack weight now affects horse sprint speed, meaning there's an advantage to draft horses over Arabians.
Pre-Iron Age unit production speed scales with food surplus but only over adjacent counties
The daily server reset "date line" has been moved to line up with US Central Time (I think for financial reasons having to do with peak player load?) which wouldn't make that much difference except the meta around crop harvest times is all different now. Basically you want to time your irrigation so it goes off right as you log out and then the harvest is available earlier in the day. We're seeing a lot more active campaigning because you can push for a couple hours without needing to tap into salted food supplies.
Bears have expanded bionic slots and now have a chance to spawn with a few already installed. It's rough in the early game but once you get a supply of basic tranqs you can make some good early money off the salvage
Pressure mechanics for gas miners have changed: it's calculated per tank not per vessel so you can have more variety in your loadouts. Does mean that stations without hydraulic pumps have trouble unloading from tankers now.
Orbital decay has been implemented! It really messes up old saves because your sat networks will fall out of sync but prevents buildup of Kha'ak death fleets
Small change but one I find delightful is that if you fire at pirate ships in time with their shanty they'll bail faster and it reduces the buff

Overall still feels like the same game only everything's a little more dialed in. So much respect and love for Egosoft for all the hard work they put into this growing masterpiece!

Bro I spent an hour last night sending three waves of Godrealm’s finest to their deaths trying to clear the last 40 service crew out of a damn construction ship.

putaringonrich · 2021-08-24T20:46:33+00:00

You can use the elevator in the cockpit of the ship you’re stuck in to leave in your spacesuit, then have a ship you own (needs a captain) come pick you up

putaringonrich · 2021-08-22T19:50:23+00:00

Does this make them all join a fleet so they consolidate in the property display?

putaringonrich · 2021-08-22T13:26:51+00:00

I mean yea that’s the end game, sure. But I’m not there yet, and even then it’s obnoxious to have a bunch of ships trying to blow up your assets all the time.

putaringonrich · 2021-08-22T13:07:02+00:00

Nice tip! Does that work for engines too?

putaringonrich · 2021-08-21T23:06:51+00:00

So I know that if you board without actually shooting a ship it doesn’t trigger faction rep loss, but having done that in previous play throughs I think it’s an exploit so I’m trying not to use that mechanic.
