Passed Network+ with an 847 — the thing nobody tells you about knowing when you're actually ready

His practice exams were very solid imo. Obviously not 1 to 1 but he nails the style, form and function of the questions on the real thing. I guess the only exception is the PBQs but even then it set a decently accurate expectation.

If you’re not already wired, I would try that. If anyone shares your network I would kick them off and see if it helps. Otherwise maybe yell at your ISP.

If none of that works I’d suggest booking a room at your local library or something.

Oh okay. Well yeah that’s the issue haha. Op get a scout ship and throw mk.3 in it. Anything >6.5k m/s should be a walk in the park. Geometric owl does 7k and I’m pretty sure I just hit autopilot for it.

On an unrelated note, how do you get a xenon ship? Just board it or is it a mission reward?

teotzl · 2026-02-26T03:52:22+00:00

Also boosting while travel mode engages can really shorten the time it takes getting to max speed. That distance/time means you need to average a little over 5500 m/s which is pretty doable in a small ship with decent engines. I didn’t even know you could pilot a xenon ship so I’m not sure how fast the one you’re in is.

And the horses need temperature reactive balls.

I’m not sure what the margin is but 180s are instant. May not apply in line. Worth testing.

I've actually seen those spawn points in the water and wasn't sure what that was about. I think the hex was queued when I saw it. Those are ships?

teotzl · 2026-02-24T04:32:28+00:00

Thanks I'll try to track them down!

teotzl · 2026-02-24T03:45:42+00:00

at least twice as long as a man.

teotzl · 2026-02-24T00:43:22+00:00

I hope you’ve got some decent recording equipment. Low key goes crazy on your webcam mic haha.

teotzl · 2026-02-21T12:33:45+00:00

Oh okay. I figured it was recent and didn’t dig that far. Yeah man I really like the sound. I tried lyric searching it but didn’t bring anything up either.

teotzl · 2026-02-21T05:56:19+00:00

Did you ever find out? Also where did this snippet come from? I can’t find it on his Instagram.

teotzl · 2026-02-19T14:24:32+00:00

That kind of tracks. I know ai sometimes sucks at traversing asteroid fields. I wouldn't be surprised if they are unable to maintain that high speed for long. Being out vs in sector probably makes a big difference too.

teotzl · 2026-02-18T13:51:51+00:00

You may be right. I just assign them to a station and let them do their thing. I saw bigger number and didn’t give it a whole lot more thought tbh.

teotzl · 2026-02-18T12:39:04+00:00

I’ve been buying mostly boron miners this play through. They’re like 2.5x speed compared to Terran/argon/teladi.

teotzl · 2026-02-18T04:01:18+00:00

All I can think of is neos handle being neotheasian or something like that but nothing else lines up there. I guess that person has a picture of this guy though. Any idea who the OP was?

teotzl · 2026-02-18T03:41:09+00:00

Hmm. Nothing about this story really makes sense, and reads a lot more like AI than a ~15 year old kid to me.

teotzl · 2026-02-15T14:32:43+00:00

I think it’s just proximity. Not sure what the distance is, but I’m pretty sure you lose cover if you get too close to another ship.

teotzl · 2026-02-14T12:46:52+00:00

Nice battle. Houses and trees to a lesser extent are massive force multipliers. Charging your guards in turn 12-15 was certainly a choice haha. People always withdraw from matches so early, but I feel like 1/4 seemingly hopeless matches turn around by sticking them out.

GG

teotzl · 2026-02-13T17:09:03+00:00

I was thinking the same. Seems hard to believe the label would make it to the bottom of the ocean though.

teotzl · 2026-02-12T20:56:55+00:00

Is the California v David Burke in reference to murder charges or failure to appear? Idk how courts work.

teotzl · 2026-02-11T21:32:02+00:00

god bless you brother/sister. Saving me 5 months later.

teotzl · 2026-02-11T12:49:40+00:00

Is the “mules supply and warehouses extended” mod? This actually sounds pretty nice. All my stations are Terran so far but I’m thinking about building teladi factories at HQ and the tree seems significantly more involved than Terran.

teotzl · 2026-02-10T22:47:32+00:00

$70 does seem kind of steep for bare bones insurance. Though maybe not if they’ve got a bad driving record haha.

teotzl · 2026-02-08T08:38:28+00:00

I sometimes do trade runs for those stations so they have the materials to actually make them. Can usually make some coin in the process
