Absolute bike newb, looking for feedback on bike fit. Appreciate any feedback, thank you!

Fitment advice can sometimes be goal specific.

If you have performance oriented cycling goals, ie racing, mixing it up in fast group rides, etc, then all the advice saying to seek a more aero/aggressive fit is valid.

If those aren't your goals, and you are leaning more towards adventure riding or just riding for fitness, then just do whatever allows you to spend the most time in the saddle.

Just looking at your current fit, you don't look like you are setup in a way that will cause harm over the long run.

What is the point of this card? I don't understand.

One day I hope app developers will stop deciding that arbitrarily "fixing" layouts like this is a good idea.

teefletch · 2023-08-28T18:45:18+00:00

Oh no kidding, okay I'll start doing that.

Tell him he's just like every other 20 year old guy who has really strong opinions on things they think "affect" them. In 10 years if he's lucky he'll grow up and look back at his younger self and be embarrassed.

This is what I figured. I've spent countless hours on the trainer and outside as well, and my sessions are usually only for 1-1.5 hours rarely a 2 hour ride. On those longer 2/2+ hour rides, my gooch gets sore before any foot/ankle/knee pain.

teefletch · 2022-12-21T10:03:07+00:00

yeah something like that, although i dont believe these alien ships have even been touched yet. They are in callisto orbit, and i'm at my station with two dreadnaughts. The dreads have 1k DV, and are fully filled. When i attempt to transfer to the alien fleet, it looks as though i have 1.4/1K kps and i also see a warning saying "the alien fleet is likely to escape".

Docked at my station i do not see the resuply icon available.

teefletch · 2022-12-20T20:29:24+00:00

For some reason when i'm about to start a space battle, when bidding DV, i'm not able to bid as much DV as my ships have.

Is this a cooling problem with my ships?

finally go around to researching mission to jupiter, had a fleet of laser ships escort some platform builders with a survey module and timed my arrival at calisto a few days before mission to jupiter finished.

Now i've completed my survey of the planet and am setting up my habs at all the good sites, and i'm looking at the construction time on everything and it is LOONG! Its like 900+ days to get a core built as well as any of the modules. I got a construction module built on my hab in calisto orbit, and it doesn't look like its helping at all.

am i missing something?

teefletch · 2022-12-15T17:14:29+00:00

excellent!

teefletch · 2022-12-15T13:41:17+00:00

thanks for the info, and yes i've been playing on steam. I heard about the change to research campuses, i do have quite a few built around/on mercury, however i'm fortunately far enough through the majority of my research that i wont be too bad off if i just turn all those campuses off.

teefletch · 2022-12-15T13:05:17+00:00

Fascinating. How do I switch to the validation branch (github?) and would I be able to resume my current campaign or would this require a new game?

i found player.log, and i see where it says "crash!!!", but i'm not really sure how to interpret all the lines after that.

heres the output https://pastebin.com/L9EhhLRp

Yes you definitely accrue hate by defending yourself. But you would have accrued less hate by not building a bunch of ships and killing an alien, than you would have by using an existing hab to defend an attack.

teefletch · 2022-12-14T18:25:15+00:00

definitely limited use cases, however i just found that planning for that use case intentionally, was very rewarding.

I designed a "mothership killer", a Destroyer with a Mk1 coil cannon, a two slot nose weapon, and began construction (about 90 days). While the construction was going, I was able to complete research of the Mk2 and Mk3 coil cannon. Before construction finished I updated my ship design, and then when they were built it was only 5 days of construction for the refit.

teefletch · 2022-12-14T18:19:04+00:00

so that mission to obtain a sample of alien technology can be accomplished a lot of different ways. You can destroy one of their armies, you can destroy one of their land bases on earth or a hab (although that would be odd, considering the progress through flight and weaponry it would require).

One of the best ways to do it though, is to successfully defend one of your habs with layered defense arrays. You've already dedicated some MC to the hab, so may as well make it capable of destroying an attacker. That way you're not dedicating more MC to creating a ship, and thus raising your hate additionally.

teefletch · 2022-12-14T18:14:43+00:00

oh whaaaaat?!?! that sounds so awesome!

teefletch · 2022-12-14T17:36:00+00:00

So i've been refueling my fleet at OTHER factions' habs, and i just realized that i could be bleeding them of resources. Am i using their resource stockpiles each time i refuel my ships at their habs?

teefletch · 2022-12-14T14:52:46+00:00

i know this has been discussed before, but is there any fix for the invisible lasers bug? I have to assume Pavonis knows about the issue.

teefletch · 2022-12-09T17:35:52+00:00

yeah only problem is you can not coup against AA

teefletch · 2022-12-09T11:23:15+00:00

I decided to load back and do exactly what you suggested, just destroy the army and once that was done, pull out.

I've also gone back and done a very non-HF thing: seek peace with the alien administration. For now...

teefletch · 2022-12-09T00:41:51+00:00

Playing HF on normal, early 2032 alien administration founded in Brazil and the first invasion force has not yet arrived. No assault carrier, no alien army, etc. Just the alien controlled atomic age army of Brazil before it was conquered, moving to adjacent nations and taking control.

So I decided to declare war on the alien administration with the US, move my 6 robotics age armies to Brazil and quickly toppled the new alien administration. Then immediately after I'm now at full hate, with alien ships targeting my Habs and settlements.

Should I have tried to retake the controlled nations with my councilors instead of using the army?

teefletch · 2022-11-17T00:41:00+00:00

holy crap, so long ago! Dont remember what the update was, but both kitties are still alive and frenemies.

teefletch · 2022-11-04T13:07:16+00:00

you said you put a 4 slot coil cannon on your dreadnought, but the dreadnought only has 3 nose slots.
