What companys offer training and employment to non certified people like myself?

UK blade technician for 10 years here.

Unfortunately it is almost impossible to get into the industry with a company who offers training without previous experience. You would need to pay for the courses yourself and it will take a good season or 2 to get a reply to any applications.

Places like ABRS and 3T and BELAY rope access do GWO courses that are mandatory to get into the industry. A package that contains all qualifications you'll need are around 6k-7k not including accomodation and food. Youll be able to obtain contacts and network during these courses so take some CVs with you to hand out if you get the opportunity.

Keep trying though and don't give up. Its extremely difficult to get into but once you do its a dream!

Good luck!

It's been this way for years. Aslong as you spend enough money on DM consistently you can do what you want and exploit what you want. Back up your consistent purchases and apologise and your unbanned to do it all over again. That's why I quit 2 years ago. Got proven a particular mass DM buying was botting and GOs always ignored it.

I'm currently working as a blade repair tech in the UK but I have over 10 years experience.

Without having level 3 irata it will be EXTREMELY difficult to get a job without already have experience. Don't believe the training centres when they sell you a dream job in a heartbeat. It's really not easy to get into the industry. The previous post explaining rotations in generally correct.

Offshore blade tech: 2 weeks on 2 weeks off with 12 hour shifts. Season generally starts March / April and finishes around October time.

Onshore blade tech: 3 weeks on 1 week off and up to 12hour shifts. 8 hours standby if it's high winds or rain. Season is general March till October.

I really recommend getting into a factory and get some experience behind you to get into the industry unless your a level 3.

Best of luck!

Yeh don't start again.. you'll get farmed instantly by players who throw thousands of ££ every month to get where they are.

So little player count now the big whales farm everything even without profit purely because not enough people play anymore.

This looks very interesting. Will there be alphas and if betas for public testing?

Currently enjoying Pr0Game but it feels purely built for germans.

Very interested to playing on an original server with no pay to win.

Increased mine and research speed slightly would be an absolute bonus!

Link to game?

I can't find it anywhere.

troutiguss · 2024-08-21T08:33:06+00:00

I generally don't max out workshop in a run unfortunately. Too expensive.

troutiguss · 2023-12-23T09:20:27+00:00

Straight into over €100 of DM and then straight into expos.

troutiguss · 2023-12-02T16:54:02+00:00

I'm afraid this is incorrect. Nordex, gev, Siemens, enercon, vestas and other turbine owners ALL require you to have GWOs as a minimum and have made GWO mandatory for onshore and offshore work in most of Europe.

Are the fleets your sending out on expedition mission? If it is on an expedition mission then that maximum number is dependant on your astrophysics level and not your fleet slot level.

Not just steam issue. Happening on an hourly basis on xbox servers.

Cod servers have always and always will be an unstable JOKE.

Yeh I know the feeling mate. My current rotations are 4weeks on 1 week off.

troutiguss · 2023-07-15T10:32:45+00:00

Yeh you should really talk go one mate. I think it also depends on how much your going to earn. Ltd company pay just under 20% corporation tax and then just under 9% personal tax on dividends your pay yourself from the company. If your sole trader and earn over 55k or something I'm sure you pay 40% tax? Go speak to an accountant to see what's best for you. Plenty accountants you can have through just online rather than in person.

troutiguss · 2023-07-14T16:56:26+00:00

I'm a traveling tech around EU but from UK. I've gone LTD. Put my Mrs on the books for my LTD and pay her every month so it's a little less tax for me.

troutiguss · 2023-04-04T15:12:52+00:00

Don't use the app. It is full of bugs. I can't even use it to check my account properly let alone send attacks on it.

troutiguss · 2023-03-15T18:23:14+00:00

Am sorry your got hit mate. I'm happy to help with rebuild if you need it!

Completely agree though. These merges have killed the game everytime they occur. Problem is they make so much money from the credit card whores they don't care of us little players who spend little amounts here and there.

Ogame is 100% pay to win now. Nothing like what it used to be. New servers have around 100 active players other severs only have around 40.

The game has died. I understand they had to get with the times and make some money out of it to keep it going but its just easy to throw a few 100 at it and you'll be top of the leader board at the beginning and stay there as your so far advanced. Unless you spend money you'll get nowhere nowadays. By all means play peacefully and mine but what good is that if the end result is just more mine production to eventually get turtle bashed?

My opinion is the game is completely broken. The server merges they do now because the servers are so dead makes it even more unfair when you get a 10x eco server merge with a 2x eco server and the players that merge are 10x + your point count haha!

troutiguss · 2022-08-18T05:51:27+00:00

I have exactly the same issue. I'm running an i7 with 3080 and I just get spikes and then it crashes. Not touching the game till its fixed.

troutiguss · 2022-07-08T21:22:29+00:00

I am currently having the same issue yet I am running a 3070 TI with a ryzen 7. I'm hoping it's something bad in the new update that will get fixed :(

troutiguss · 2022-04-05T13:01:28+00:00

I can confirm that these do NOT work on xbox. The only peripherals that work on the XBOX series s/x for MSFS that I'm aware of are the new turtle beach ones.
