The economic damage the frigate can cause is always lower than its costs. There are some rare cases on setons wherenan early aon frigate can kill 4-5 rock mexes (2 island, one on rocks beach, the obvious forward one and one core mex) but even in those scenarios its hardly more than a nuisance.

I think i have alot of experience when it comes to timing pushes on navy and the key concept is, as thomas explained, build power denial. Ultimately most of my navy wins happen because of build power denial. You can scale up your bp, especially the one needed for a timely T2 transition, keep denying enemy bp with suicide frigates raids or plain water entry denial and then finish the game with cruiser tml or bship. Its of course vulnerable to torps, hover or any other mid intervention like drops, and stuff, but a satisfying way to show an eco whore its place. Think about frigates more as a tool of bp denial in the early stages of navy, and you will learn to use it as an efficient attack.

Yes, that is normal. It is the game informing a developer (urr). I suspect it is a part of a print statement somewhere that was useful for development somehow 🙂 .

You get a nifty badge which apparently brings the boys to the yard..

Current gen Ryzen is pretty good, the first two (1600X, 2600X) were kinda lousy.

@Rowey said in Best CPU 2020 for FA (Intel vs AMD):

Ryzen chips dont show a High Cpu score but will sustan the higher sim ticks later on in the game

Nah, they performed according to bench number; worse than i5's from 2011.

I agree as long as the majority of the community cant even understand basic build orders or game mechanics, why bother make something actually complicated accessible to this bunch of tards.

We are incapable of doing such a thing. You can ask for this in the NodeBB community, but I wouldn't expect such a thing considered to become a default feature (I think they try to keep the base software lean and tidy).

I also want to know. The chat filter doesn't seem to work. Bobster, here's looking at you.

Also, people on your foe list, you can still see their lobbies and they can still see and join yours (more of a client than core mod issue but apropos to the op)

Well there's this from the old forum which should really be stickied:

Excellent piece of science. Unfortunately the effect this knowledge has on rating is negligible.

To say of said still needed saying. ( 8 Character Limit to Post)

"👍"

yeah it kinda is. it's not 3D though.

2D art kinda generally has that advantage

It's not by far the best or my best. Who here has made their own signatures avatars.

I'm happy to not have one sentence posts inflated in size due to very large signature images honestly.

The last thing I made was that promotional logo for LOTS.

@QuantumTyphoon said in What do you think? Sexy right?:

I'm surprised no one noticed I used the fonts that came packed with the game

The supcom typefaces only work in supcom because it is a 9 year old strategy game. You can find better familes for any other use. try fonts.google.com

OC of transport is something I learned of a few days ago as well. Have yet to use it in anger.

I have a middlin' 34" ultrawide and stream at native 2560x1080p using the NVENC encoder. At the maximum twitch bitrate, it uses <1Mbit/s and any scaling issues are avoided. Yes, people with 4:3 aspect ratio screens are going to get black bars, but that's their problem. I don't stream for money and can't be arsed about subs and bits and whatnot, but it's something to keep in mind if you have a commercial interest in it.

I specifically got a 1080p monitor because I wanted to dual-screen with my old 27"er, but it turns out the setup is just too wide for the nook where I sit. I /should/ have gone for 1280 or more vertical pixels in hindsight, but I can live with it. Needless to say, I could never return to a smaller screen size for FAF, the increased viewport is just so much nicer and improves your situational awareness.

One problem I did have was that the default UI layout is not workable for me - the resource bars at the top left are basically out of your ocular angle and you don't even see it flashing red. MovableUI mod sorted that out for me, I now place my stuff towards the center of the screen and it works well. Even though the mod has some issues, I couldn't go without it even on a smaller screen I think.

Oh - I'm using a GTX970 for playing and encoding and it's powerful enough even at the highest quality settings I can configure. My bottleneck is my processor really - I only have 4c/4t and would recommend at least 4c/8t for creating a quality stream with overlays and allsorts.

At the moment the plan is that you are placed a bit lower than you "should" be at the start. That is not necessarily the first subdivision.
But we will have a look at that in a test phase where we monitor the system while it is running in the background.

Alright, prove it

Idk.

Some people look for that.

I know I do. When I play rocket league (mainly competitive 2s) I almost never team up. so I'm almost always in randoms vs premades and my team generally wins.

Same could apply for supcom.

Anyways to bridge the gap more you could also set up discord to throw you into automatic channels if you consent to it the way we had mumble set up back in the day. and then you're a premade too.
