Rotation Confusion: Jul 13, 2012; It's harder than it looks

Battle Zone is where it's at. Also: Nicor w/ Assimilate/Adapted looks amazing

I had 40 keys that I bought when they price dipped, opened 40 boxes. Bought 2 more keys off the AH because I'd picked up 2 boxes in an instance run, nicor was in the first of those two.

Got two lowball offers in tells instantly and an in-game mail offering me 5 keys and 10M EC for it!

Couple hours with the nicor: It's not worth 200M but it's solidly worth 140-160. It's good.

So which lockbox ships worth their cost? Galor, Nicor (in a week or so), anything Jem Hadar, and maybe the Monbosh?

The monbosh is a really good A2B cruiser and my main ship, but its lobi.

The new beams are terrible. But people are paying through the nose for them on the Ex

Theyre AP but instead of the +Crit Damage bonus they have a small % proc to push the target about 500meters

In OSX I had to move mine down to medium on a current-gen MBPr for ESD to not crash. Most other places in the game are OK. It's something specific to the mac build. If I reboot into Windows everything is fine at reasonably high settings.

In other, other news:

While pushbutton consoles are almost always a bad thing, and I just banked mine instantly, I'm going to go back and try this tonight instead of the zero-point energy conduit. Depending on cool-down and timing (is it 3 back to back or 3 hits over 3 seconds or what? Can it crit? Is it one chance to crit or three?) it might be actually OK.

now I'm not going to say that this is a _good_ idea, but with timer's blown it is definitely a hilarious idea. It takes like 5 or so seconds to actually fire from button push so real world usage is going to be hard, but man.

Note that it does that hit X3 and each X procs the increasing AoE

edit: well it's funny but it's terrible. 3 minute recharge means even "goofball" damage isn't really useful over the whole fight and its way too clunky and slow for pvp

Chasecam beamscort?

Chasecam still lets you move the camera all you want. It just means that if you stop managing it, instead of it orbiting you arbitrarily it defaults back to chasecam. Changes camera management from "you have to do this" to "you can do this when you want."

It's pubbies complaining about exploding too much.

I kinda think ISE, if you draw 100% of the aggro, is a little harder now. I also switched from an A2B cruiser to a Drake escort so it could be just that.

People complaining about the Undine elites being hard though just blows my mind.

Ludicro posted:

You really want your camera to focus on your current target rather than being a chasecam.

I think people are reading "chasecam" and assuming that's where you leave it while you fly around shooting things, which isn't it at all.

The primary behavior change by turning on chasecam is that the camera doesn't start orbiting you if you don't manipulate it. It's not that you don't still do every bit of deliberate camera manipulation you're doing now. It's that if you stop double mouse button'ing to control the camera the camera always goes back to the same spot relative to you. The thing that was driving me crazy about escort flying was that if I wanted to both be manipulating speed, direction, while keypress and clicking, I'd sometimes lose control of the camera perspective in ways that were unhelpful. Now if it happens it's always going back to something that's at least "OK."

ya so DEAR RICHARD letter and all, but is there any way to get off the J4G list? I joined a bad pubbie fleet for fleet items access, then wandered across the s8 thread and discovered there was a goon fleet, asked for access and was labeled J4g. Having played in 3 or 4 goon guilds in different mmos over the years I know better than to try to argue about whether or not you're a spy right when someone calls you a spy, but it's been a while and uh, i'm not a j4g.

I joined the reddit fleet instead and they're ok so if it's "no you're branded j4g for life" it's not a huge deal, but i'd rather play with goons.

I made pretty good bank a couple of times (not at all consistently) selling purple mk II drops that I'd get if I ran a solo SB24 after maxing out loot drops for the day. I assumed there was some kinda low-level PvP interest driving that, but can't imagine why.

So if your bars/doffs are constantly resetting, after assembling a buncha the anecdotal 'worked for me' fixes and looking for commonalities, and asking a few other people who were doing the same, here's what I did that finally made it stop for me.

Go to sector space (not in orbit somewhere)
Get all your stuff the way you want it
Make a loadout or save over one
Change ships
Change back
Your stuff should still be as you'd saved it, if not, start over
Zone into orbit or another sector zone

I'd done parts of that set of BS and it hadn't happened for a couple of days, but since doing that entire chain it hasn't happened at all.

"Commission" puts them into your pool of bridge officers (the dudes on the side bar when you bring up the 'U' screen), from that pool you assign bridge officers to stations.

That message probably means that you don't have any more slots in that pool.

ya in that 'u' screen, click on them so they're active (you're looking at their doll and items and stuff), Put the items you want to keep off of them in your inventory, and then at the bottom of that screen there's a "career options" drop down selector.

A2BFAW would suffer a lot from the loss of that weapon slot.
