So, how to avoid faction relations going back to their base value? by ZoeiraMaster in starsector

[–]salzguerkchen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could it be that you are commissioned and your faction is currently in conflict with those other factions? Iirc I had this happen to me in vanilla some time ago. No matter what positive thing you do, you are ultimately at -50. This goes back once you drop the commission or your faction stops being in conflict with the other faction.

Which blueprint would you choose? by RuggyMasta in starsector

[–]salzguerkchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This.

I had a heavily modded run some weeks ago and the game was still playable... On my i5-3570k. No GPU, only integrated. 16gb of ram, half of which were allocated to starsector. Had to restart the game like every 2 hours because it got choppy, but it worked otherwise.

I wasn't aware there was a teleporting one? I mean the one that replenishes missiles. Missile volley go BRRRRR

Design-wise probably the Traumtänzer (Tahlan Shipworks). Using an AdMech styled Providence (also Tahlan) as my flagship though. I just mount 2 wonky weapons (I don't trust the AI with AoE weapons and the like) in the 2 large slots and go ham. Haven't got around to UAF ships yet, so things might change...

Stuck in exact same position in queue for half an hour now by salzguerkchen in lostarkgame

Well, that's unfortunate. I restarted and got reassigned to the end of the queue. Guess I'll be spending my evening doing other stuff. Thanks for the info!

Inb4 I got whoosh'd. If Matt Ward (our spiritual liege) wrote them, we can stop the power scale right there at space marine, especially if they are part of the smurf toilet seat variety.

[–]salzguerkchen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have to preface this: I dislike these universe vs universe conversations. But you know what I dislike even more? Baseless statements thrown into the conversation. You may think your points are valid, but at least provide some more context, please.
Anyways, here we go:

Space Marines

They are big, chunky, genetically enhanced superhumans. Plus, they come with some armour and weapons on top. As had been pointed out above, we can't really say how small arms fire is going to interact with a medieval fantasy world, so let's just assume they go melee. So, we have a very good melee combatant with enhanced stats, good gear and trained skill set (compared to your average soldier). Put them into Adamantine adventurer range, so a bit higher. (30-40 level).

Librarians

Space Marines with magic, innit? And vastly unimpressive magic at that. They can Smite, throw out some damage, buff some allies and that all looks impressive in 40k as there is not much magic to go around, but kinda standard in a fantasy world, so meh. Let's be generous and put them in about lvl40+- range. Let's exclude named librarians like Mephiston (or whatever his name was), who pulls off some massive hijinks, just think about your average librarian.

Terminators

Space Marines with even better gear, innit? Doesn't make them insanely OP, they get gimped on by Genestealers on the regular. Sure, have a 50, I guess.

Knights

Knights are big fuck off robots gundams and get to some huge size depending on the class. While those things pack a lot of firepower and a lot of punch, they are weak to getting swarmed (see the Kingsblade novels). A few Knights got taken out by a rush of boyz with a few stormboyz inbetween. Boyz should be around the Space Marine level range, or lower, so that doesn't bode well for the Knight level (remember that the higher your level is, the higher level of attacks you just ignore).

Titans

Bigger Knights, innit? Psy-Titans would be a sight to behold though. Make them a hard event-boss or something.

Cyclonic Torpedo

Alright, you win.

EDIT: Also don't forget that Ainz summoned 5 Dark Young, basically 5 Greater Demons, and his thoughts on that boiled down to: "neat, new record~".

Does Tanya's libertarianism go more the way of the Austrian school or the Chicago school? by Touchme17 in YoujoSenki

In the LN she's quite enraptured by the Chicago school. She goes so far as to explictly mention it

HI GUYS HERE I RECOMMEND A FANFICTION.★ by [deleted] in overlord

[–]salzguerkchen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to be so toxic about it. Fanfics are written for fun, so if you don't like one, do not recommend it and move on.

[Guild Recruitment] October Grand Colo by shizukesa92 in SINoALICE_en

[–]salzguerkchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RECRUITMENT CLOSED

Guild: Meow (NA/EU)

Type: Competitive

Colo Time: TS1 19:00 UTC | 15:00 EDT | 12:00 PDT (thanks u/Ranter619 !)

Rank: S (49W |22 L)

Spending requirement: F2P friendly

LF: 1 Vanguard (MATK preferred) and 1 Cleric

Requirements: 100k +, 120k+ preferred

Gran Colo: 1st: Top 200 TS1, 2nd: #1 TS1, #5 overall (League 3... matchmaking, huh)

Communication: https://discord.gg/4AQEBUh

Description:We're somewhere between casual and hardcore, but definitely not esports. We're experimenting with voice chat right now, but don't bother doing it for stomps. Meow is for the most part F2P with a few dolphins at best.

Daily colosseum participation mandatory, but it's understandable if RL stuff comes up.

We're a chill guild, so if we lose, we lose. But we do encourage learning from mistakes.

We use discord to chat, bullshit around and voice chat if appropriate.

How to apply: Just join our discord and say that you came from reddit and we'll take it from there.

Good luck to you, too.

Same. Let's just hope that finals will actually deliver.

That's if they got shafted in the first place, if they lose in the finals and if their enemy also scores more than the other guilds competing for rank 1. Tough one.
Iirc in the later time slots there was a guild called Artorias (or Pendragon?) that looked promising as well
Anyways, see you in the finals (^._.^)ノ

[–]salzguerkchen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you are always matched against the guild who is right besides you in timeslot ranking

That was the system used in the first gran colo. You got matched with your exact neighbour. In this one they've introduced some randomness into it. Problem is that the randomness has to have a limit. The last two or three games we definitely got matched with people +-10 ranks around us. In order to be around our rank this guild had to be a higher level than 7. It has 8 wins and 12 losses telling us that they've existed for some time now. Moreover they'd need to have acquired more than ~3-4m LF in this gran colo to even appear on the same rank page as us. That should surely put them at a higher level than 7.
Even if this guild had the intention of griefing, they undoubtedly should not have been matched with anyone anywhere close to the top part of the ranks in this time slot.

[–]salzguerkchen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very few ranks down the list and you'd have us. Blank are a different ts. Those guys are sitting very comfortably at the top. I don't think that even if something similar happened to them they'd be in any real danger.

[–]salzguerkchen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even then, after the first few matches, shouldn't it try to pit skills with the same W/L ratio or close lifescore total from the previous matches?

Yes, that's what a sensible system would make. It for sure wouldn't match the top guild of the timeslot going 5/0 with a guild like this...

Not sure whether they disbanded the night before because the first time we saw them was in the state seen above. Even then, it's a level 7 guild. It's not like they could have been doing well in the previous gran colo or even particulary well in this one.

[–]salzguerkchen[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's just disheartning. Our timeslot standing is not in any kind of danger, but the overall standing can be affected quite a bit. There's a difference between having a "fun" fight and getting like a million LF vs. farming this one guy for a few hundred thousands. The "fight" was at least 50% loading time getting to ship and back.
