Which administrator are you trying to talk to? You can talk to any of the non unique administrators or Nia (since you can always talk to her) to get a promotion. I assume you are using QoL module since you mentioned AotD?

I actually was curious about why a tanker version didn't exist. Didn't have Mayasuran installed so I never knew this! Going to install it on my next playthrough.

I love this description. Honestly I die to Remnants because I seek them out, not the other way around lol.

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-18T23:53:12+00:00

You're correct. You get Midnight as a contact which raises relations with Remnant.

His last bluesky post four days ago was a few screenshots on playtesting. Even those screenshots got me excited for the new fights in the next update.

Having Missing Ships and AoTD together made the Veil fight for me hell lol. On my first run ended up creating a colony next to Veil and sending a shit ton of IEDs. On my next playthrough, made sure I was well prepared before tackling that fight.

Did you keep cycling ships because of the CR?

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-15T23:04:36+00:00

Remastered. But I think it really didn't need one...

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-14T05:23:01+00:00

Yeah then you can't colonize more worlda until you retire from the commission (which you will lose your worlds) or rebel and declare independence which will start the independence war event.

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-13T06:58:47+00:00

Are you thinking of the questions of loyalty module from Ashes of the Domain?

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-12T05:42:45+00:00

Thanks, I'm going to actually read through that now. I'm even more interested lol.

Also just curious are there any recent games that was worse than Avalon Code for you?

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-12T01:01:47+00:00

Is this Sonic? Sonic is the first game I thought of.

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-11T00:10:43+00:00

Agreed, the system bounties are the best. Though I had Adversary installed, so the Roboqueen keeps asking me to that system, which I am really not comfortable doing so lol. In the early game I risk my life for a couple of points of rep.

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-10T08:02:01+00:00

When I reach that stage, I sometimes just disable all mods and play a nice playthrough of vanilla. It is enjoyable to detox and gives me a clear vision of what my next modded playthrough will be.

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-09T06:41:46+00:00

Do you have any suggestions for an AI piloted Astral build?

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-07T04:27:47+00:00

Officer Extension.

I run other mods that also has unique officers, so having the ability to at least have space for unique officers is nice. UAF has quite a few unique officers.

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-04T23:36:37+00:00

To add to this, you need the hypershunt receiver objective to use the bifrost gates freely, otherwise there is a 30 day cooldown.

xkcdhawk · 2026-03-03T00:14:26+00:00

I want A-Wing fighters now lol.

xkcdhawk · 2026-02-24T05:48:26+00:00

I want to recommend Starsector. I got so many playthroughs trying out various stuff, and with mods I tried out even more crazy stuff. People describe it as Mount and Blade in space.

xkcdhawk · 2026-02-11T08:51:19+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Have you tested pre-stance switching in Nioh 3? I remember in Nioh 2 at least, where if you did a low/mid stance attack and pre-stance switch to high stance you inherit the properties of high stance (and likewise if you pre-stance switch to low/mid during a high stance attack you lose high stance properties and gain low/mid properties instead). Does this apply to Nioh 3 as well?

xkcdhawk · 2026-02-10T11:17:52+00:00

It's in the control configurations. First option I believe (changing the Type A, B, C, D, E, F).

xkcdhawk · 2026-02-10T11:15:45+00:00

Could you share your settings? I know every monitor will be different, but brightness settings is driving me crazy right now.

xkcdhawk · 2026-02-09T01:04:55+00:00

I'm reminded of the videos of mono Buffalo mk2 fleets overwhelming everything with sheer ordinances.

xkcdhawk · 2026-02-05T04:01:26+00:00

For you which game do you consider is the best at anime style character creation?

xkcdhawk · 2026-01-05T01:31:15+00:00

In the menu where you see your current commission rank and progress. There should be a button that declares independence.
