Col 70 Sector FY-N c21-3 , the system where Thargoid spires don't have POIs.... and use the global geo/bio blue heatmap instead.
Also reach heat above 100% in your GPU/CPU

I suppose if one has a Core 2 Celeron and is using the on-board Intel graphics the temps may get a bit high.
With a modern CPU / GPU the game barely warms things up. Now SF or SC (even NMS at Ultra) - they make good secondary central heating...
Sitting inside of a starport seems to like making your GPU spin up a bit more, at least if it’s a 3080(my settings are high/ultra on 1440p120).
Everywhere else, though… yeah, mostly doesn’t ask that much of it(I especially notice some poor Odyssey performance when there is a ton of a specific bio signature present in one area, while the GPU isn’t being hit all that much). I wouldn’t mind that extra heat being generated in place of interior heating during these winter times, though…
Why the 120Hz refresh? Better comfort?
My monitor will do 240Hz but I still stick to 60Hz as I don't see any real benefit on most games in increasing it - that and it does appear to keep power use on the GPU down a little!
A couple of games I play are quite power hungry - an hour or so playing them and I can raise the temperature in my sitting room by a degree or so, quite nice as we are going into colder times
Simply to try it. I do notice some difference in the smoothness of the picture, compared to 60(though not enough that I couldn’t play at 60!… like on one of my older-ish consoles for different games). Display goes up to 165(picked it up at a quite nice discount last year around this time while building a new PC), but I’ve seen no need to try pushing it any further.
Taranis has been cleared, only the titan remains hiding in the maelstrom . Now we need someone to give us the weapons to blow that goid into pieces and send the rest scurrying back to the hell they cam from in fear.
I am well aware, having been part of the wing which delivered most of the final 15% strikes!
While awaiting said weapons, please note that the Spire party is now at Arietis Sector YE-R b4-3 by Maelstrom Leigong. It does not need a full completion this week, although actions there will help prepare its other systems for a final completion next week. The final Spire is then at HIP 9180!
Around a Titan the patrolling Thargoids display something like apprehension or at least hesitation, depending where they notice Commanders are flying.
I'd say the jury is still out on their reaction to a commander holding meta-alloys. They don't attack, but to me, it's not a happy reaction either.
Note: the thargon deployment is due to being within 500m of the Thargoid after the 30s window it gives you to drop the meta-alloys, not because the meta-alloys are dropped. It's an older video and I need to update it.
It was nice to get some pictures out of the SRV without it feeling like a scene from Apocalypse NowInactive sites may be pretty uninteresting, but they're sure as heck atmospheric!

I don’t think those spires are going anywhere, any time soon. Though I might prefer if they were still there and occupied without the privilege of getting shot by local Thargoids.

I wouldn't disagree with that.
A "best of both worlds" scenario could certainly open some gameplay doors for the more peaceably minded.
As lomg as it is earned.

I don’t see any possibility in this world where it would be handed to us. Now how you’d earn this peace or trust of the Thargoids, that’s a whole subject of its own…
We all know Palin would jump at the chance to set up shop in one of the abandoned spires. They even have landing pads for his clients.

I was pretty much talking about the here and now so humans capturing and investigating them while under human control to gain some knowledge or something helpful?
As for the other stuff, probably at some point bv why race to something too soon?
From my perspective. i still think humanity is dealing with the invasion.
Time will tell though.
