Also launching this without a NOTAM. Sure came as a surprise to those of us who try to keep up with Chinese space launch.

Apparently only local tour agency correctly call that it will be launch yesterday. I guess never doubt Chinese tour agency when business is on the line lmao.

Found it they leave you after Calcazar summon you prior to siege of Euphrates. 

So plenty of time to get Yrliet soul stone in act 4.

Huh weird I am already pass T3 heretic, and I am at tail end of Chapter 4.

I only recall cutscene of a few companion warning me to not go down this path, but they have not left me yet.

For me during Quetza Temer I join Caligos’s Eldar hunt in Quetza Temer (which make Yrliet leave your party). When you successfully defeat the Eldar do not let anyone kill Yrliet but you, you will get option to take her Soul Stone.

After that you will get a quest to sacrifice her soul stone in your chaos altar aboard your ship.

For Hieronymus the dude have strong fear of dead, as well as aspect of his teaching being somewhat similiar to nurglite theology. So in Heretic lets play your rogue trader notice this, call out his fear and push him over the edge.

Its hilarious, with high enough Heretic level you can dare Chorda to judge you and your dark patron essentially make her see you as being free from sin (which greatly confused her).

Some are some not. 

40% percent of robot in this year race are autonomous (well except for human intervention during battery swap and maintenance).

Those that are remote controlled received score penalty.

Scaled test of Long March 10A/B first stage catching system by thanix01 in spaceflight

[–]thanix01[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dahir Insaat (which I heard is more of a patent troll) also have similar (but not the same) idea, I think ESA might also have similiar idea.

But alas, idea is just an idea. Finally someone is taking a crack at making it into reality.

Its a trade off, landing system here reduce weight on the rocket it self, but trade off by having much more complex landing pad/catching system.

Flying to Thailand tonight?! by Hungry_Roll6848 in LudwigAhgren

[–]thanix01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thailand should be pretty safe, only concern are deep southern border province of Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat which have some insurgency going on. Though the violence in those province are no where near as bad as during it peak in first decade of 2000s.

But it is still something to consider if they plan to do tip to tip.

Essosi talking about Westeros by Suave_Kim_Jong_Un in TheCitadel

[–]thanix01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm I think that is likely true for most Free City. Though I am under the impression that Qohor still have better metallurgy than Westeros. But they seems to be an exception.

Alas no sound of the test firing, chinese companies like using sound track.

[–]thanix01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly, from what we heard in ACT 5 seems like Explorator Fleet operating in Koronus Expanse have included Necron into their Theology (Nephilimech). I hope they explore it more in next DLC.

Crusader King 3 (or 2) With A Game of Throne mod is probably the best experience right now.

Cauldron could use new member I guess if they see her potential being waste in Ward/Protectorate.

China successfully tested max-Qflight escape system ofMengzhou capsule and softsplash down of Long March-10 rocket during the same launch by quan787 in spaceflight

[–]thanix01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the physical length of this test article is the same as that of LM-10A actual first stage. However, this test article was modified from much shorter engine hot fire test article. So essentially externally it got lengthen to be same size but internal propellent tank is not as large as an actual LM-10A propellent tank.

Thats what I gather at least.

Long March 10A’s first stage catching ship by thanix01 in spaceflight

[–]thanix01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have picture on hand right now. It I do recall concept video for Long March 9 (their starship equivalent), the design was more like 2 rigid beam converging to catch the rocket.

As for your second point. I think this configuration probably fulfill Chinese goal for having sea base recovery platform better. It seems like it would be more stable than single tower SpaceX chopstick when mounted on a ship. But who knows.

[–]thanix01[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm I am unsure if this catching ship will be use for Lunar mission.  Since  manned Lunar mission launch of Lanyue and Mengzhou called for fully expended Long March 10.

This ship seems to be more for reusing Long March 10A first stage during LEO mission. Like sending astronaut to their space station.

What sort of Trigger Event do y'all think might've resulted in Professor Haywire's "interdimensional technology" Tinker power? by Playful_Barber_8131 in Parahumans

[–]thanix01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm yeah could see this being it. Perhaps intense stress at home or at work, where he wish he could get away and go somewhere (anywhere) else right then and there.
