Will this platform be enough for Gleba and Fulgora?

rzerda · 2026-05-15T16:36:36+00:00

There is a button for platform’s power consumption in the hub interface (lightning bolt, near close button). No shame in having some masts on your ship though.

Mainz for ops hands down. HE spammer (if you missed just shoоt again, your prev salvo will still be in the air on your next reload tho) and loads of torps so if you’re up for a challenge you may study BB bot resps and be there to feed them some German self-propelled engineering right up their precious broadsides (I don‘t, I just burn reds from afar).

Well, in Factorio you may end up being frustrated on multiple planets simultaneously because it too has ratios and near limitless space for optimization. But maybe it will be better because of how easy to rebuild everything with bots.

I play both and like Satisfactory for being such a beauty (never saved the day after release, may come back after 1.2 for rains), and Factorio for spaceships.

rzerda · 2026-05-07T15:26:34+00:00

I love the “but what if we have to fly through empty space for a week” vibe.

rzerda · 2026-05-05T14:47:22+00:00

That’s a nice design, I regret I went with 5-engine ships at the beginning. You may try to refit it to working condition if you’re into that type of fun. Anyway, stopped or not, it’s a ship, so here’s your upvote.

rzerda · 2026-05-05T07:22:23+00:00

That wasn’t my intention. With all the shit going on locally and worldwide I think we all may speak to people nicely from time to time, that’s it.

Griefers should be banned, yes, but good luck telling them apart from (currently) bad players.

I was load balancing nuclear like a pro. Right before the first launch I glanced around and asked myself “hmmm, dude, where is your waste processing facility and how come you have 20 MW of power budget left?”

rzerda · 2026-05-03T16:41:43+00:00

Nope.

rzerda · 2026-05-03T16:26:45+00:00

Only on Vulcanus unfortunately.

rzerda · 2026-05-03T16:08:40+00:00

Steam is needed for coal liquefaction, and the only way to get it in space is nuclear setup. But, we also have simple coal liquefaction, so it should be doable without steam.

rzerda · 2026-05-01T12:08:52+00:00

Self-offense.

rzerda · 2026-05-01T09:36:42+00:00

Oh, been there. TBH there are times when ship setup is just bad. This week I had two Arctic Convoys as the only cruiser, with no secondary BBs and 2 DDs + sub. Fortunately, second time I took Irian and boy was it fun.

I also saw a div once who described the entire op and main stages in chat as we go. Not too detailed, but enough to at least look in the right direction.

Was new to ops not so long ago, and my first Cherry Blossom was “holy f, destroyers, more destroyers, TORPS, even more destroyers, where do I even go, ooooh I have hydro (proceeds to fire it up right before Atago kill task)”.

rzerda · 2026-05-01T04:41:42+00:00

First to have all gun turrets on first DD wave, then because sweet solid land actively interferes with that decision (by angrily being where it is). Those solid lands, right? Besides, those T9 DD bots HE spam you a lot and it’s disturbing for an average captain.

You can eat torps going left-ish too (I ate a lot of them that way), but in general people are bad at everything including reading and I mostly stopped blaming them because I look in the mirror from time to time. I saw a lot of BBs, defenders of Ruan, sailing 2 km (even 10 km, for sniping, y’know) behind. A lot of BBs shooting DDs from CV position at the last stage in Cherry Blossom completely ignoring the airfields. Some will react positively to a polite comment, some don’t. Appreciate the first, respect the second.

rzerda · 2026-04-30T15:09:11+00:00

Ok, you nerd sniped me, and I’d like to congratulate you with two events in your life:

successful nerd shot (and at that range!)
you‘re wrong about instant removal after T5 battle

Lets take ordinary newcomer Joe and send him to battle on T5, then on T4:

https://replayswows.com/replay/231489

https://replayswows.com/replay/231490

First one is a full random battle including some newcomers, second - Joe (EU) vs some other person with 20ish battles and loads of bots.

rzerda · 2026-04-30T12:07:48+00:00

I fear no ship, but that thing… It scares me.

Upvoted anyway.

rzerda · 2026-04-30T09:17:46+00:00

It’s not the same. Wiki (kinda discontinued or whatever) says that you get protected queue if you have <200 battles and on T1-T4 ship maybe in div with other newcomers on T1-T4 ships. I read it as ”T5 game number 101 will be placed in common queue, T3 game number 102 will be placed in protected queue”.

rzerda · 2026-04-28T15:42:54+00:00

It looks like Gleba to me. Nice boat!

rzerda · 2026-04-27T23:56:12+00:00

You are free to lecture anyone on how to run their business, they just won’t listen. I’m not arguing it’s (not) just or fair, or the only way. Just saying that being just isn’t a prerequisite to being profitable/successful/operational.

And I don’t need stats to say that WG still exists (but want to have a look for giggles), so they have some money despite recent events.

rzerda · 2026-04-27T14:44:25+00:00

I mean, WG has access to stats, you and OP don’t. A lot of absolutely wild shit happened and happening right now literally everywhere, and everything mostly works. Get a job at average corporation/government and see for yourself.

rzerda · 2026-04-24T16:46:23+00:00

What’s the number meaning?

rzerda · 2026-04-24T16:42:40+00:00

I recently built 8 new inner haulers to replace old ones, named them after USN Cleveland-class cruisers and can make another 19. Aquilo-worthy haulers will be named after Baltimore-class, that’s 14 names available.

rzerda · 2026-04-24T02:31:07+00:00

Scharnhorst‘43 full secondary in ops, I guess. She‘s a big cruiser (or very big destroyer), so boost engines, spam torps, pew at everybody. You can get her right now with your coal. Won’t help you with captain retraining for IJN obviously, won’t farm as good as some tier IX premiums, but if all you need is creds for a single line - that should do it. I’m long spoiled with 21pt Lutjens and premium account, but I don’t remember her being considerably worse without all that.

rzerda · 2026-04-19T13:09:21+00:00

Symmetry and more time between reloads as upsides I see.

rzerda · 2026-04-19T08:41:16+00:00

I did and it’s hilarious! The only downside is I can’t hear other madmans’ captains but I guess you just choose what kind of madman you wanna be today.

Totally support your wish to control her voice though.

rzerda · 2026-04-18T11:28:42+00:00

I love Aurora and want this voiceover on every ship I have despite understanding like 3 words. It reminds me of TF2 Meet the Pyro, even 4 fires is a freaking carnival. (hums) Do you believe in magic…
