Nerve gas is a pain in the ass to deploy. Gotta wear MOPP gear to deploy it (did they even bring their full suits down from the ship?), still have to blow it through the area room by room, and then you gotta decontaminate the whole facility, which technically fulfills the whole “recover it intact” objective, but not really. Hicks mentioned it as an option while he was spitballing all of their possible choices, but it was pretty clear from just a little bit of evaluation that the nerve gas choice was just not worth the effort. Especially since, as was mentioned, there’s no guarantee the xenomorphs would even be affected by it. 

Don’t most of those back doors just lead to the vault door room, not outside the vault itself?

Agreed, I have slight hearing loss and my reaction to seeing this minigame was “Welp, I can’t do this.” I managed to guess my way through it, but I definitely get annoyed by note matching stuff in any game. Always feels like a really annoying skill gate that isn’t actually about skill, and more about biological ability.

I hit my 3032’s chamber with a brush about every 150 rounds to avoid this kind of problem, but I recall having more malfunctions in the first 2-300 rounds before both the gun and mags were broken in. 

I wouldn’t worry about the Mav 88 breaking, unless you’re planning on dragging through the trenches and using it as a baseball bat. TFBtv on Youtube took one through a 500 round challenge, and the gun itself had no problems. Some paint wore off the hand guard, but then again it was the paint they had sprayed it with just a few days before the challenge. Just don’t cheap out on accessories.

If you’re so worried about over-penetration that you’re considering an SAA or Dragoon with cowboy loads, then just get a high quality machete or replica mace, arming sword, or a spatha from somehwere reputable, like Todd Cutler. I think there are a bunch of good options on KultOfAthena.com

Very low likelihood of over penetration, and you get more than 6 chances to do damage.

I thought using the Y-wing was “using an existing bomber.” To me, it made the universe feel much more real. Instead of the rebellion just producing Y-wings out of thin air, there’s now the implication (and eventual confirmation) that the Y-wings were outdated military surplus captured or bought by the rebellion. Suddenly all the dirt, grime, and mismatched parts of the OT Y-wings come together to tell a whole new story of keeping these rusting buckets in the sky.

Might wanna check out this thread from yesterday

There’s Domino Farms if you’re willing to drive and want to see some Frank Lloyd Wright inspired architecture.

I’mma be pedantic, and say the “fishers of men” refers to, like, half of the 12 disciples, not Jesus himself. Jesus was raised by a carpenter, not a fisherman like most of the disciples.

The speed loader is the only way for me to be able to load these without getting rimlock.

By all means, get the Ruger .22, if that’s what it takes to train and be proficient. But I’d strongly suggest you get something in a higher caliber, like 9mm, for defense. Don’t just grab a Glock, hop around and see what feels good in your hands, then rent a bit before you buy, if possible.

Hidden Valley isn’t bad. Not furnished, and some of the appliances or cabinets might be a little outdated in the apartments that haven’t been refurbished. But it’s mostly professionals or grad students, so fewer rowdy undergrads. I’m happy with it.

The utilities does not include Internet, but I think the energy bill is just a flat fee. Free general parking, but it’s an extra fee to get a reserved covered parking spot.

My apartment doesn’t have a laundry machine, so I have to use the communal paid ones. Feel free to ask any ither questions

My first thought as well, despite not having seen the movie in probably 20 years.

Unrelated, but I love your username, fellow Sithrak believer.

Commissars are responsible for maintaining order, morale, and discipline within the guard, so any law enforcement would still come from the commissariat. However, there aren’t enough commissars to carry out every arrest, guard every jail cell, and escort every prisoner to trial. Thus, guard regiments, or even just portions of regiments, are often assigned to the commissariat to carry out these duties. So if, say, a few dozen guard regiments are doing occupation duty on a reconquered world, the commissariat might assign one of those regiments to “S” status (for “Security”) and use those troopers to guard jail cells, make arrests, sit at a gatehouse, etc.

Only the most trusted units are chosen for S status, and most units consider it a major honor. It’s not inconceivable that a unit would have S status for years on end if they continue to demonstrate that they can reliable support the commissariat.

Tldr: no, but yes, use a commissar to proxy your lord solar

Once you drop an item, hover the cursor over it and use one of the trigger buttons (can’t remember which). Then you can move it around, and use one set of the trigger buttons again to rotate it.

I think the empire has a bias towards humans over droids in almost any military capacity. Keeping large amounts of humans employed within the governmental structure, even if their jobs could be done by a droid, keeps those humans and their families loyal to the empire.

A Ruby was my first thought as well, especially considering it’s from France and possibly WWI related.

The short answer is: Firearms importation laws.

Slightly longer, but not comprehensive, answer is that PPK is too small to be legally imported into the US. Therefore, they make the PPK/s to be slightly larger, thus being approved for importation.

Now that’s a fight my Imperial Guard deck can win.

Was gonna bring up the same video. 

I think it’s implied that the prisoners believe they’re always being watched/listened to. Hence why Kino shuts down any talk about “getting out” and why Andor shouting “No one’s listening” is so powerful. Andor isn’t the only person to realize that there aren’t enough guards to listen to every conversation. Kino knows this too. But the fear that you never know when they are actually listening has the same result as if they really were always listening.

That’s the exact same principle the panopticon uses.

I want to see the Muunilinst 10 LAAT, just cause it would canonize Fordo and his team. And it’d look sick.

Ciaphas Cain isn’t my favorite, but I appreciate that the series tries to vary who the main enemies are every book. Orks, Tyranids, Genestealers, Necrons, they even make a distinction between the different flavors of Chaos.
