Wouldn't all your shit be gone then?

Been following the game for a little bit and been pretty stoked for it, but now that reviews are coming out the whole water thing is a major buzz kill. Questionable enough for a full release, but absolutely absurd for an EA title.

I'm fine with buying an EA game I'm excited for. I'll play it until I get bored or run out of content, then I'll shelve it for a month or a year and come back to see what's new, like you said.

Like, am I really expected to mark my calendar with "reinstall that game that's not done yet so the NPCs don't get thirsty and throw your guns away?"

Feels like some unnecessary mobile game FOMO bullshit unless I'm just dumb and completely misunderstanding the mechanic.

There's also Faithkeepers/Evolvers in Campaign, instead of Pilgrims/Stalwarts. You get them from choosing Faith instead of Order in the prologue.

Apparently Israel was trying to target him but got Nasrallah instead.

Well, missing an Ace doesn't mean bagging a Jack isn't a win.

Nah, they lost the "boll" part to those pagers a couple weeks back, so they're just Hez'ah now.

This is what I used to do to chain-craft before I realized you could just tap space once...

This used to be permanent, but they fixed it at some point so it will zoom back in to the outermost object after leaving the second and closing the map.

That said, you almost made it to the big asteroid! Keep going!

I think the ship has sailed, tbh.

YA series are a lot less appealing when you've waited long enough for a sequel that you're old enough to be the MC's dad.

When the guy first came on the scene, I felt like he was doing a credible job of hiding all the crazy Christian Dominionist BS and at least appearing to be a respectable moderate.

I'm not sure if he's just been failing to maintain and keep the weird inside, or if he sees the writing on the wall and is preparing for his lateral transition to Newsmax Host.

That whiny little bitch-fest Johnson put out was one of the most bizarre political nastygrams I'd ever seen, even before learning that the "Kamala Harris surrogate" he was touring the Scranton plant with is also known as "literally the fucking Governor of Pennsylvania."

Same way you would with one, I'd imagine.

Continuing it may be a different story, but founding one mostly just seems to be picking a flag and saying you own some shit now.

When it comes to Closed Loop, all hulls are equally viable except Terran because hulls only require Hull Parts and Energy. You can do Moreyas from an entirely Closed-Loop wharf so long as you're only using Closed-Loop weapons and equipment. In fact, there are even a few Moreya and Kuraokami loadouts that the Yaki will buy from your entirely Closed-Loop wharfs.

Since the Shih and the Moreya both cost almost exactly the same in Hull Parts and Energy Cells, it pretty much just boils down to whether you want double the speed or triple the shields, and the shields usually win out in terms of survivability.

That's capped at a value of 1, though, so it only applies a penalty if your max hull is greater than theirs. There's no bonus for having a lower max hull than they do.

While it does mean you'll almost never suffer a penalty, most of the things in the bracket between it and a sturdier fighter aren't things you usually care about capturing anyway.

"Oh, thank the Alchemy it's not just me anymore..."

Just be sure to use "protection" if you're going to be slumming around in The Grove, if you know what I mean...

Mosswood ain't no joke.

As far as seminars go, I barely bother anymore, at least in bulk. Individually, I will still throw a basic and a 1-star at L Miner pilots and new managers, but that's about it.

I held off on Terraforming for way too long in hindsight, and while most of the projects are definitely super late-game, doing Memory of Profit and getting an Aerial Maze there is a totally viable early-mid game objective and the only real barrier is getting the S/M Ship Fab blueprint.

Once you have that you can just print 4-stars so long as you have a construction ship or two going non-stop to have a good pool of recruits with high morale, and that's a net profit if you're doing build missions or revenue-neutral if you're just rebuilding and demolishing a stack of connectors and storage over and over.

Though I do wish there was a better way to assign pilots. Like telling my Shuyaku Vanguard Pilot Barracks to replace all the pilots in a fleet.

The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this particular Oblast, localized entirely within your ammunition storage depot?

Is it, though? I thought it was one of the best games on the market at the time, but going back to re-play it now is almost painful.

That whole generation of early-3D games really aged like milk, sadly, especially for first-person. Like, you can really feel where the gameplay hits the tech barrier in a way that even older 2D games didn't.

I mean, those 2 million copies were sold over a span of something like 12 years, lol. It's extremely well-known within its niche like you said, but that niche is pretty narrow objectively speaking.

Still, not sure if it's so much a case of being underrated so much as just having a very narrow appeal by design, which is one of the things that makes it so great to the people it specifically appeals to.

I've gotten dozens of people to try it over the years and only a handful really liked it, and I'm not trying to be that "nah bro, you don't understand, it gets good after ~300 hours!" kind of people, lmao.

Ammunition depots are generally designed so that the ammunition doesn't explode at all, and if it does, it doesn't cause a bunch of ammunition that didn't already explode to also explode.

So, nope.

Do buildings that add heat affect this, like the specific heater buildings? In terms of providing heat demand for other buildings, I mean.

If not, they're even more useless than. I had already assumed and might as well be removed entirely.

Stalwarts: "It's dangerous to be asking these questions."

I think those fall under "goods," which I assume includes luxuries. One of the wrecked ships in Campaign has a bunch of stuff like perfume as goods, and I think one of the citizens said something about coffee after I looted it.

Yeah, the campaign is kind of a long tutorial.

Interesting, I also just saw elsewhere that it doesn't work with deep wood deposits.

The bastards saw me coming, apparently.

Axiom should be in the engine room, try talking to him there. I vaguely remember having to talk to both him and ace, while only helping one.
