@MadScientist i've been busy with my country imploding around me, don't have money for new games as much
 
@Unionhawk riplol
 
@TimStone The View is on a 3.3g planet near a neutron cone
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune For me, it's that I'm playing WoW, and I don't often have a lot of questions about it
 
user15026
I mean I suppose I could ask how I defeat various menagerie pet battles but I just go to Wowhead, look up the pet, and then check the comments.
 
12:11 AM
Now to see how well I land missing a wheel...
Success? Lost my wings and tail, but nobody died.
And apparently lost the plane. Man, they just don't make them like they used to.
 
@MadScientist Try this maybe tympanus.net/codrops/2015/09/15/…
There's also the option of using JS to handle user dropping files onto an element

Q: Joining the dark brotherhood assassin I'm Skyrim

earthy jamSo I found the boys home before I actually found the quest insted of doing the mission will that still count.will I still be able to join or will I have to start over again and do the whole Quest step by step

 
Resigning from Snap does seem like a thing I'd do
 
1:12 AM
@Wipqozn Is this key Steam-only?
 
@Yuuki You only get a steam key, but redeeming it on steam gives you a product key for the frontier store.
 
Looks like it, couldn't redeem at Frontier store, but it seems like Frontier is playing nicely with Steam.
 
@Yuuki Yup. You can activate your elite on steam too. I ended up doing that today and then reinstalling with steam.
 
Yeah, I think I did that awhile back.
 
I had the same concern as you, but luckily I was able to find some internet posts talking about the product key
 
1:20 AM
so elite dangerous is only $14 and change on humble store, but how much will a HOTASS set me back?
 
@GodEmperorDune I bought one for $50. You could probably buy the same one for much cheaper since you use freedom dollars.
 
@Wipqozn how easy is a HOTASS to store? do they like fold up or are they just bulky?
 
@GodEmperorDune I have no idea. I just ordered mine yesterday haha
I got that one since it's fairly popular. @Unionhawk and @SaintWacko both use it.
I probably won't even play elite until it arrives
I don't like the mouse and kb controls at all
 
hmmm no windows 10 support? price is decent though, i thought a HOTASS would be much more expensive... i guess those are the fancy ones
 
I mean I assume I also just suck at flying, but the lack of a joystick doesn't help
@GodEmperorDune wait what
I'm pretty sure this would work on windows 10 but now I need to check
 
1:28 AM
> SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Windows® 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista®
 
@GodEmperorDune page is just outdated support.logitech.com/en_za/article/32425#Joysticks
 
ah that's cool
 
Sounds like it just requires you to do an update
@Yuuki does Earth exist in elite?
Looks like it. Nifty.
 
@Wipqozn yes
 
Okay time for bed
 
1:36 AM
in the starter ship you should aim at earth from the starter location and just fly
then @uni's group will come rescue you when you run out of fuel
 
Also @GodEmperorDune should buy elite and not play it so he can be cool like @Sterno and I
Although here's hoping I actually play once that joystick arrives
 
@Wipqozn i dunno, the price is nice but i am bad at flight sims
plus most times my gaming needs to be pausable in case i need oo take care of my daughter

@Unionhawk i didn't realize you helped people become extremely online, thank you for your service
 
@GodEmperorDune I always see people like "do I call or ask friends" like no call us we'll be way faster
We have CMDRs sitting around with fully equipped refuelers on standby pretty much 24/7 on PC

ElliottI'm just wondering if any such games exist and, as an extension, if there's any case of a game from Microsoft's cross-platform scheme that provides a better experience on Windows 10 than the Xbox console. Having the option of mouse and keyboard input would surely validate the latter unless the PC...

@Lazers2.0 Pretty sure I'll have a question coming soon about how to get started with exploring... And then probably one for mining too. Assuming they don't already exist.
There some stuff online for this but it's always hard to know what's outdated when you haven't spent much time with the game.
 
@Wipqozn yeah I noticed an exploration question of mine is very out of date lol
I'm about to self-answer my last mining question with some more specific info from a good steam guide
 
Do you need to have a medium-sized ship to install a vehicle hangar?
 
@Wipqozn There is a getting started question AFAIK
 
@Yuuki No, you just need a free class 2 optional internal slot, and Horizons

Q: Starting a new game in Elite Dangerous

NikewatchHow do I start a new game in Elite Dangerous? I'm new to the game and I've managed to get myself a long distance from anything. I'm wanting to abandon this game and start again but I can't see how. Start game takes me back in to my current game. I don't have an option for start new game.

Actually, that's not what I thought it was asking
 
Hmm... maybe I'll pick up the Alliance Chieftain.
 
Although the "make money fast" question is probably a good start:

Q: What is the optimal way to make Money?

RapitorHaving not played for a long time, finally picking up Horizons, and knowing Frontier likes to change how things work, I'm not sure what makes good money now.

Q: How can I speed up exploration?

UnionhawkI want to get into exploration (mainly because I want to do a bit of everything in this game), but it takes so long to scan every planet, moon, and asteroid belt segment of a system. Is there any way to make the scanning process quicker?

 
@Wipqozn yep
It, I mean,
It's pretty fine I guess, it would take a long time to scan everything with probes
 
@Unionhawk but there's better ways of doing this all now?
 
but the FSS (new in 3.3) is fast (though if you're not after full system scans, still don't bother with anything outside the high metal, earth like, water, or ammonia spectrums)
 
3:33 PM
I'm gonna post a bounty on that for an updated answer, then.
 
also the 3 types of discovery scanners do not exist anymore
 
Also I hope you claim it just because having a user claim the bounty on their own question is honestly hilarious
 
every ship now has an advanced discovery scanner equipped as standard
 
@Unionhawk Does that include the sidewinder you start with?
 
@Wipqozn Yes
 
3:34 PM
speaking of which, should I like, destroy my sidewinder and get a new one...? I'll need to check when I get home, but I think I just have the free one you got 5 years ago, completely unmodified
Although it's possible I sold some of it's parts
 
I mean, it doesn't really matter
 
@Unionhawk okay. Was just curious, because if wiping it and starting with a fresh one just gave me a better sidewinder, might make sense.
 
Nope. Anything that's newly included (discovery scanner, planetary approach suite) was magically installed on all ships by a wizard
 
Hmm... I think the release patch for My Time At Portia removed some of my equipment.
That's kinda balls.
 
@Unionhawk That's awesome
@Yuuki I've heard mixed things about it since launch
 
3:51 PM
@Wipqozn I'm imagining a little gnome from the Pilots Federation bringing all ships up to standard as the Interstellar Transit Charter gets amended or whatever
 
@Wipqozn Wow, that RPS blurb is so completely off.
> You already know how it goes: expand and work your farm; grow crops; raise animals; mine; craft items; fight monsters in the dungeon under the town; catch fish; befriend villagers; kiss villagers; and so on. It looks a little something like this:
Yeah, you can grow crops and raise animals. But if you focus on doing that, you'll make no money and accomplish nothing in the game.
Fighting monsters in the dungeon is certainly an option but you can also hire the local guard post to gather dungeon resources for you. Which is probably a better option because dungeoneering is time-consuming and you have better things to do with your time like building furnaces.
 
@Yuuki Oh, that's too bad
So not every activity is a viable option?
 
I'm exaggerating in that you make no money. You definitely can make money being a traditional farmer but the story/plot revolves around running an actual workshop.
You make much money by taking commissions for building bridges or supplying people with stone bricks and stuff.
Which I'm honestly okay with. Literally every other game in this genre is a farming game.
There's an anti-technology church in town where you can turn in research data in return for farming stuff that allows you to grow things that you would normally have to mine for.

Q: Troop camp update

HoagieIf I am upgrading a camp, does it freeze it or can I still use it during the upgrade? I upgraded my spell bowl not realizing I couldn’t use it, so want to be sure before I do the upgrade. Thank you. How do I find the answer?

 
@Yuuki is there also something like a good/bad ending? like going with the church is a good ending, going with the research center is bad?
 
4:05 PM
@Nzall To my knowledge, no, but I don't know if release changed anything.
lol apparently Activision added markers in the matchmaking UI for Black Ops 4 to denote players who haven't bought the season pass
"Maybe if we try to get everyone to shame people who haven't bought the season pass, they'll buy it?"
 
4:50 PM
I like how they go backwards
I mean, wouldn't a cool emblem for those with season pass be better than this?
Reward those who has it. This is the main objective of season passes

I've never actually played XCOM. I played that... Knockoff one a bit, UFO afterlight or whatever
Looks great though
 
@Wipqozn You should totally get the signature edition so we can blame you
 
5:21 PM
@Wipqozn I'm probably going to end up doing that lol, I just need to get screenshots together later
 
I'd like to see a game where you are the invading force rather than the defending force.
Like you get an allocation of soldiers every month and you try to knock down communications, destabilize governments, assassinate researchers, etc. Your failure condition would be the enemy researching enough high-tech and mustering enough cooperation to knock your front door and you have a last-ditch defense attempt (a la the Temple Ship in the first XCOM).
 
@Unionhawk Excellent.

BUT after every next raid you need to re-do the species modification, since the new pops that you ab...

 
There was a really old RTS like that. You played the bad guys invading enemy planets. Totally cannot remember the name.
 
5:46 PM
Also there's the overlord games kinda like that right
 
It was Star Legions from 1992. It wasn't really XCOM like at all, but you did play as the bad invading force.
 
I mean, it doesn't have to be playing the bad guys in a thematic sense. I was just thinking about what gameplay mechanics would be like for the other side of a XCOM game.
You could easily just reskin it for good guys as an expeditionary group on a planet with really hostile fauna.
 
Well there's uh... What was that turn based game called
Expeditions conquistadors
Sort of like that I guess
 
For example, throw out the research tree because your explorers aren't going to be jumping from combustion engines to black hole drives, that's for the theoretical physicists back at home.
Basebuliding's also not for you because you arrived here on a top-of-the-line starship, designed by people much smarter and better at it than you.
Not really sure what mechanics you could add though.
 
It would probably just be a reskin
The newest kingdom Rush game has you playing the villain and it's pretty much just more of the same, although you set tower loadouts now instead of upgrade trees which is interesting
But I mean you know Aliens could do research too and build outposts for sure
You would need more than just the HQ ship
To take over a planet
You could abduct people and research them or use em to make monsters
Slave labor

Anyone here have any experience with Oracle and SQL Server?
I'm applying for a job that requires both, and while I'm heavy on SQL, I'm almost non-existent on Oracle.
 
@Frank Oh, darn. Same here. Well, except for the "almost"
 
@Frank The closet I've come to Oracle is I was once worked with someone who used to use a lot of Oracle in a previous job.
 
@Frank Does a deep sense of loathing count as experience?
 
I have used SQL Server though, in my current job. Haven't gotten to the nitty and gritty though.
 
11:58 PM
As close as I can tell, they want someone to support a super old version of Oracle; 10g?
 
@TimStone Well if you can fill @Frank with that same sense of loathing it'll make him seem experienced!
 
Everything else, I'm super qualified for; and the qualifications are lumping SQL Server and Oracle together so....I'm good?
@Wipqozn I support Access and Sharepoint.
I think the loathing hit peak intensity quite some time ago.
 
@Frank That sounds painful
