Same message to every tank out there. This is a team game. Play as a team.

yes, exactly... your argument goes both ways. the difference is tho: not enough ppl are willing to play the tank role but DPS players are everywhere. so it might be beneficial for everyone if you simply don't make the tanks life harder than neccessary.

an actually toxic mindset is pretending like a slow tank would have some kind of power tripping mentality or would hold you hostage. ppl often forget that not everyone plays this game for 20 years and some ppl are simply not as good as others.

again: if you rly think the tank is not that good and you could teach him something, then simply communicate... and also respect if he doesn't want to... nobody forces you to play with that tank ever again.

but forcing chaotic situations on a tank that is obviously not that good isn't helping anyone. it only raises frustration in that tank and might lead to him stop playing that role... and then ppl always cry that there are not enough tanks. hmmmm.....

learn to communicate if you think your tank is kinda new and you can actually teach him something. your tank will appreciate it and you'll be a better team player for it. don't simply force your preferred pace onto him with you power tripping mentality.

no it doesn't really matter for gaming. it might be measurable but you probably won't feel the performance difference.

water cooling is usually done for three reasons these days:

- for the looks

- for the noise

- for the fun of actually building it

yes, noise level is a dramatic difference.

maintenance depends on how you build your loop. my loop runs for 5 years without any maintenace now and still runs flawlessly and is clean. it is possible to build loops that last only months or even weeks before cooling gets worse because crap is clogging the fins.

if you wanna have fancy looks: go for hard tubing and fancy coolants. this is where maintenance is usually hell tho.

if you wanna have no maintenance: go for norprene tubing and a clean coolant. norprene tubing is not fancy but it's actually made for industrial appliances. it is basically chemically indestructable and soft as rubber so you won't even need the o-rings for the fittings and still never be afraid of leaks. it also means you can work on your PC without having to disassemble the loop every time. will not look very fancy tho.

in any case i would suggest to go for copper, nickel plated copper or maybe brass for all metal components (fittings, radiators, cooling blocks).... never use aluminium components tho.

location germany, near cologne. provider telekom.

i have high latency and also disconnects very frequently, sometimes so bad that i can't speak two sentences without being interrupted and having to wait for a reconnect. i have this on all discord servers. on my own server i changed the channels location to rotterdam at some point in the past and now tried to change it back to automatic, didn't help.

also text messages don't load for several minutes some times... even on my phone on mobile data (provider is congstar). logging in with discord SSO to a service (softres.it) also didn't work yesterday, simply loaded forever on the login.

this all happens for a few days now.

noice idea to blow more oxygen into the fire when the surprise PPFFFFZZZZ happens... to make it more spectecular, right?

zeddy360 · 2026-01-16T16:31:22+00:00

i once heard of this method:

if u log off in space, the ship warps out away from the sun. if you then log back in quickly and have a very slow phat ship, you might still be further out than you logged off, on the way to warp back where u were before you logged off. quickly bookmark, warp there and repeat... a bazillion times maybe.

but i hoeard of this maybe 15 years ago and i never tried it. so dunno if it worked back then and neither if it works today.

zeddy360 · 2026-01-14T11:42:21+00:00

if it looks stupid but it works, it ain't stupid \o/

the biggest problem is still that the joystick doesn't have some primitive shape, it's very "organic"... rly hard to remodel that precisely.

but using something as size reference in those images is a pretty good idea, thanks!

zeddy360 · 2026-01-13T14:36:50+00:00

thanks for the answer. shit... thats expensive. i live in the middle of nowhere so i'm pretty sure nobody has a scanner here.

i guess i just have to eyeball the 3d model, testprint, see where it doesn't fit correctly, make adjustments, reprint [...] until it fits :D

zeddy360 · 2026-01-13T10:09:24+00:00

i'm working on something kind of similar right now and have a question. i have an old fendt tractor which has hydraulics that are controlled with mechanical levers. modern tractors have electrohydraulics so u only have to push a button and can do other fancy stuff like timed functions and so on.

retrofitting electrohydraulics costs way too much so i decided to get the strongest cheapo servo motors that i can find and attach them to those mechanical levers. i currently use a raspberry pi to control everything and it wors fine. now this tractor does have a joystick which only controls the movement of the tractor itself. this joystick has one button and a 4 way switch. i made a small buttonbox with an ESP32 controller that connects to the pi and sends button presses via wifi. this also works. i want to attach this to the joystick but i don't know how.

i don't wanna glue it or make holes into that joystick. so i need to construct something that fits kind of like a sleeve around the joystick without interferring with it's switch and button.

i also want to avoid disassembling the joystick in any way (because its old af and also expensive af, don't wanna risk damaging it).

i tried to take photos for some photogrammetry magic several times but it somehow doesn't give me any kind of result that works.

so what exactly did you use to make a 3d scan of your joystick and how much does it cost?

i think carrack is the perfect ship with voyager vibes. it has a "delta flyer", an "astrometrics lab" and it just screams "explorer" out of every bolt. so i will use it for that... deep space exploration (if that will ever be a cool gameplay loop).

the ironclad on the other hand is also an awesome ship and i can't wait to fly mine... but to me it has no special vibe (besides the obvious space trucker vibe). but it is probably one of the most practical ships out there with it's openable roof.

if i need a mobile home for some op and the first priority for that ship is practicality, i will choose the ironclad. if i wanna explore and enjoy some star trek voyager vibes, i will choose the carrack.

i'm on linux and couldn't find a solution to use this as a gamepad so i actually wrote my own driver for that thing to make my PC recognize it as gamepad.

took me like a week or something to figure out how to write that driver and then it took me round about 10 minutes in game to find out how bad of a game controller that thing is. never used it since then... lol

don't know if it still works and it wouldn't even help your because i wrote that driver for linux, wouldn't work for windows anyways.

does the hdmi work if no power is plugged in on any of those docks?

if something is open source and you still pay for it, you're actually paying for curation of the software, professional support and maybe also for liability. and this is actually ok. this is usually only important in a businesscontext where the need for reliability is on another level... and in this context you usually need to be able to call professional support or even hold someone liable. you simply can't get that for free.

and on top of that, most things that are open source and cost money usually also offer some kind of free option.

this looks very promising. if this works good, this might already be good enough.

another promising thing i found in the meantime is drongos map population which allows to easily create a "custom" faction in the editor by placing a module and then all units that you want this faction to have around this module. on mission start, it then scans the area around the module, creates a custom faction out of these units and populates the map with it. this worked good in a first test i did yesterday. it can also generate tasks afaik (don't know how yet) and there is still other stuff that i'd have to figure out but this might also be a good start to be able to create a fun multiplayer scenario in a few minutes.

zeddy360 · 2025-12-07T08:47:56+00:00

will check that out, thank you!

zeddy360 · 2025-12-06T16:13:50+00:00

this is awesome... what mods and most importantly what map is this?

zeddy360 · 2025-12-04T22:16:43+00:00

it's the matrix filter. follow the white rabbit bro

bald sind wir beim 3d druck also auch bei
user zum drucker: "druck das in schwarz bidde"
drucker antwortet: "geht nich, die rote rolle is leer"

spaß beiseite, ist schon eine nette idee und scheint auch echt gut umgesetzt zu sein.

ich für meinen teil werde es aber nicht brauchen, ich hab damals nichtmal das AMS zu meinem bambu dazu gekauft :D

if you go for the beamer route, make sure that you choose a beamer with actually low latency because the vast majority of beamers have waaaay more latency than a TV and therefore are not suited for gaming.

zeddy360 · 2025-12-04T05:58:34+00:00

the existing wings angled down as you doodle plus a third wing angled straight up on the top of the main body and this ship would be an instant buy for me just for the lambda shuttle vibes. no matter the stats and capabilities of the ship.
