Thanks for the invites, and further thanks to whoever sent me two very expensive lockbox ships that I probably should have just resold to buy something nicer to fly, but if I were into making good decisions I wouldn't have reinstalled this in the first place.

Like I said, I plan on logging on to fart around for half an hour or so every once in a while. I'm still hip-deep in FF14, and I don't see anything replacing that as my main game for a while. It's just that after a few hours of catgirl adventures, I'm in the mood for a change of pace.

MREs - They're whats for breakfast, lunch AND dinner !
So some random person was asking in the Tribble forums about the most "useless" skills in NuSkill land. Found this in a reply by Bortiucs, talking about Targeting Expertise, a skill that does +ACC:

Bortywho posted:

Accuracy that exceeds the 100% hit cap is translated into Critical Hit and Critical Severity...AccOverflow currently doesn't work correctly in just one place: Fire at Will...The lack of AccOverflow with FAW is a known bug, and one that we'd definitely like to fix.

So on a Spaghetti Code rating of "2 paperclips stuck together" to "the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota", how much of a clusterfuck is the whole FAW segment ? In the time I've been playing its been mentioned at least once as some sort of inter-dimensional place where a lot of divide by zero and 1 + Chevy = narcissistic rutabaga type math happens.

and lol @ pubbies going ZOMG U BUFFED FAW ?!!? if they actually fix it at some point. The level of hate some pubs have for this power is unreal, based on some stuff i've read in the forums.

Technical Analysis
Nov 21, 2007

I got 99 problems but the British ain't one.
FAW is the end all be all of murder everything skills. Even now, when acc bonuses don't apply to FAW it's still ridiculously powerful. Certain groups of pubbies are just mad that a FAW boat can out damage their cannon boat 9 times out of 10.

I forget the exact specifics, but FAW is such a clusterfuck of code that the current devs literally have no idea how it functions, and last time they tried changing it they actually broke the game.

To be fair, cannons were always meant to be DPS king so it's loving shameful how long and how bad FAW dominates.

Like cannons aren't just suboptimal, they are straight loving garbage atm

Yeah but in the shows it's all beams, you don't see anyone using cannons in canon, this is what canon cannons can do.

Yeah. The same people who couldn't figure out one skill (FAW) are now completely reworking the entire skill system in game by using Find & Replace functions.

It's like piling all your code on the top of a cliff and driving a tron bulldozer at it.

Hmm.

1. Every loving thing about queues
2. The delta between a "correct" and "incorrect" build is huge
3. The game never loving tells you how to do a correct build (hell, if you look at the default loadout for many ships, it does the opposite)
4. PVP (pretty sure it's still dead)
5. Grind
