PSA - THIS is why AX Pilots ALWAYS use gauss cannons

name a film that was better then the book.

2001: A Space Odyssey

People don't read books anymore. They watch the movie.

..... Just saying.

Unfortunately.

I haven't read that book. I will have to come back to you on that.

Eh ? At least the book explains why the computer goes mad. It doesn't end with 20 minutes of psychedelic cacophonic surrealism either.

i maybe should have been clearer - scout only instances are fine - threat 3-4 -great

the fake interceptor signal sources though - they just suck

So true. A veritable cloud of Scouts isn't fun.

Like when you land a Plasma Charger shot the visual effect is really cool

I think they would either need greater damage to account for their difficulty of landing shots or the projectile hitbox should be made larger to make them more forgiving to aim

Plasma Chargers definitely need far better armor piercing. Maybe better damage? I haven't run the numbers. Basilisks are no issue for me with Plasma Chargers, but they also don't have the armor of the higher Interceptors.

I don't think they need bigger hitboxes though. If you can't land plasma on a frigging interceptor, which is literally the easiest target profile possible, it's not the weapon that is at fault.

Yeah, there are a lot of great things about that movie.

It's a rarity in that the film came out first. Clarke wrote the book alongside the screenplay. The film is responsible for us getting the Blue Danube for docking sequences!

I knew the bit about the docking music, I didn’t know about the film/book chronology.

I would say both, the falloff in effectiveness for bigger 'goids makes them go from fun non-META to rubbish so fast. I put them on for a multicrew gunner sometimes but only do cyclopses in that setup.

 

[Northpin]

well we will have to agree to disagree - i tihnk that's reasonable right?

Not sure what we're going to agree about disagreeing, but yea, it could be reasonable enough

if it's about Gauses, yea, they are mandatory when soloing medusas and hydras, but not when Cyclopsing
And since you know that better than me, the title is a click bait

if it's about monetizing stuff but not carrying about money, meh.
especially when you start the title with PSA and link a monetized channel

I wish I had a rat that big. I would love it. I would scritch its huge head soooo much.

It's... complicated

PC should have been the most effective weapon against thargs since it's the hardest one to land shots with. But no, it's just another failed weapon.
As is its now, hitscans are the easiest ones to hit things with, and basically the only weapon that can kill the top interceptor.
Which is really sad

you have to concentrate on the lead indicator adding to mental load and each suffer from either lower damage or poor rate of fire

When the lead indicator actually works and is not jumping all over the place ......

and not to be completely offtopic, my gauss chally agrees with the title, while my shard conda is throwing a superior and dismissive look at the said chally

Why pick one or the other when you can have the best of two worlds? Unsolicited unmonetized video plug:

Oh ... and double shot incendiary frag cannons ...

People do read books.

Reading is a fine skill to have, name a film that was better than the book.

Reading increases intelligence, if only in the art of learning new words. It provokes more thought, requires more imagination and increases the reader's ability to critically think.

Reading anything requires the reader to participate, watching a film (not all but most) is just being spoon fed something.

I know. I read books. I've played DnD since 2nd Edition, and read plenty of novels. My point is most people don't. People watch movies nowadays, or get their information from YouTube. I think reading is better too, but sometimes movie adaptations are good, and sometimes YouTube vids are more informative than forum posts.

And I can name a movie better than the book. The Shining. Kubrick over Stephen King all day.

Wow. We have surely read different versions.

This was fairy easy to debunk. Book publishing revenues have gone up steadily. To say nothing of the explosion of Kindle/Ebooks etc etc.

Not sure what's with the old man "get off my lawn darn video kids!" attitudes here, but people are reading just as much - if not more - these days.
