  1. Starship combat with #Manticore is also much more difficult than #ExtremeMode

    Imagine, if you will, the total insanity of taking on a large incoming #Watchtower fleet with Manticore. I just splashed 26 ships in a mindbending 3D dogfight, with the hostiles using that extra dimension almost as well as I do, while being a lot tougher. I had to stay ahead of their fire and shake off missile lock immediately, looping in and through and around them to keep out of the crossfire, because (as I learned very early in trying Manticore) once shields are broken the ship is trashed after 1–3 hits.

    It’s asymmetric warfare all the way, without any clear advantage to exploit but your own wits during daredevil maneuvers. You can’t adopt a brute force approach, because you can only have a max of 9 fleet ships so Watchtower will always have you outnumbered; since the Vanilla game only allows you to own 10 ships at a time, that’s where the mod caps it too (even with mods like #Darkstar installed that increase your owned fleet capacity IIRC).

  2. Now the question is—at least until April 7th when all bets are off and I’ll have to rebuild my load-order from scratch again anyway—can I get the #TrackersAlliance complete bounty series to work with #Darkstar

  3. 🚀🛻 Space Truckin' the Nostromo: a dramatic retelling of Ridley Scott's claustrophobic corridors. Forget Star Wars, think more "2001: A Gridlocked Odyssey" with a sprinkle of "Dark Star's" cosmic zaniness. You can almost hear the refinery's complaints through the inky blackness. 🙄✨

  4. I do love it when something amazing comes through the post and it happens to be one of my favourite films. #DarkStar #4KUktraHD available now on Amazon amzn.to/47GqWxS

  5. I found this lovely little island just off the arctic coast on Bel II, just large enough for an outpost beacon and a Darkstar Omen LX200 X Ultra platform, a far enough swim to ensure the death of any mortal, and pose a serious health risk to Starborn

    Now this is a slice of heaven

  6. "Talk to the bomb. You have to talk to it, Doolittle. Teach it phenomenology." #ai #llm #darkstar youtube.com/watch?v=h73PsFKtIck

  7. I pulled off the unbelievable, the unprecedented, the so-wholly-unlikely that the possibility wasn’t even scripted

    I stormed The Key, saved Shinya Voss, and talked down Delgado without killing a single Crimson Fleet pirate along the way. Arrested them all.

    Well, except Mathias. For some strange reason the #NonLethalFramework mod didn’t allow me to handcuff him. So I just let him disappear into the aether like a Starborn at the end of the quest. It’s canonical-adjacent.

  8. Top Gun Maverick "Dark Star" on static display ar Edwards, October 2022 while SR-71 17955 is in the background which is one of the harder Blackbirds to access #TopGun #TopgunMaverick #SR71 #DarkStar #blackbird #photography #aircraft #Nikon #Z9 #AvGeek

  9. Round Two versus #Watchtower, additional additional:

    Built up a fleet of six starships—fully upgraded Mk. 10 #Darkstar fighters, destroyers, and battleships—all piloted by Elite Crew and decked out with Skydrops; I’ve dismantled their array network; and I’m pretty sure I’ve successfully unlocked all the little extra bonus goodies along the way

  10. I suppose the weirdest thing so far with my #Darkstar + #Watchtower playthrough is winding up with 2.6B credits in my Galbank account by the time I completed Legacy’s End

    Like what? I sided with SysDef

  11. I happened to notice that #Watchtower fleets use an interesting but peculiar difficulty-scaling algorithm—the individual ships scale by level as normal, but the size of the fleets seem to keep growing as well. I haven’t quite mapped out the curve in my head but it seems to be polynomial.

    In any case. It took me nearly 45 minutes last night just to loot all the damn ships from a large response fleet in orbit of Ka’Zaal.

    PS: currently playing on #Darkstar #PunishMe difficulty, which compared to #Scarfield is disappointingly easy, however, works on both #PC and #Xbox which is not nothing

    #DarkStar

    Primo lavoro di #Carpenter, un film totalmente folle.
    Da apprezzare, anche solo per la fantasia, la pazzia e il coraggio.

    📝Voto: 6 /10
    "Dark star" di John Carpenter, 82 minuti, 1974.

    - Nel XXII secolo l'equipaggio annoiato di un'astronave in missione intergalattica diventa preda di fobie claustrofobiche e di una mascotte aliena che stanno trasportando sul pianeta Terra. 1° film di Carpenter, girato con 60000 dollari ed effetti speciali poveri (curati dall'amico O'Bannon, qui anche interprete e cosceneggiatore), è una space-opera divertente e ingegnosa che esibisce già tutti gli attrezzi del regista. - da themoviedb.org
