/tg/Station 13

the CE has to do all of his clicking within 5 tiles of each other. i guess to pick up the metal etc but tbh that's a far secondary concern i don't care about. you shouldn't spawn with metal. i would be totally content if you spawned without the hat and gloves. at least that would eliminate the 100% ...

Cik

but i like being an evil cthulhic wizard

Cik

i was probably in that round as AI but i don't think we ever interacted. you shouldn't expect much to remember you. there are broadly three kinds of people that will be remembered: that asshole the real shitlers the exceptional super-robust/superheroes who either save or doom the station against imp...

Cik

why not?

tie it somehow to his suit sensors or something. if someone wants to spend the probably pretty enormous amount of effort it takes to impersonate him, let them. it would be cool.

Cik

the rigsuit is required in most rounds, especially when there's <40 people, as you'll probably have engineers that immediately fuck off. i don't care in particular about the RIGsuit, and i'm not arguing for having it on by default, because then you'd probably just end up having to take it off half t...

Cik

yeah. flares especially are very, very sparse. if you're ducking into strelas or 13's you've got maybe 10 seconds worth of flares. you get 2 passes, tops before it becomes VERY dangerous to stick around. it is a one pass+haul ass plane. chaff is more forgiving. you have a decent amount of it. and th...

Cik

as the CE it's significantly worse. you have 3/4 containers, and you have to take half your shit off that you start with because it's useless. the captain is not required to change his wardrobe 3~ times at the beginning of the shift. the HoS is not required to do that either, in fact, no one else is...

Cik

mine is 1 chaff (aggressive) 2 chaff/flare (aggressive) (panic button!) 3 (chaff passive) 4 (flare passive) if you want actual numbers i can dig it up. i do spend 99% of the time on 1 or 2. if i'm at long range and not threatened by any heatseekers (over the ocean, high altitude, etc) but am getting...

Cik

hey guys, can we reduce the amount of inventory clicking the CE has to do at the start of every shift please? CE has in his locker (that he needs to do his job) -gloves (also he's wearing gloves to start with for no reason so he has to click 5 times) -multitool -welding helmet (if not going hardsuit...

Cik

it just comes with experience. if it makes you feel any better i played sinai yesterday with a friend of mine and out of 3 sweeps over the egyptian oil rigs we lost the whole element 3 times.

i hate F-16s, fuck you F-16 you are 2maneuverable4me

Cik

you're going to remove a lot of the fun of playing a robot. the interaction with the crew in regards to law 1 is fun, and getting into runaround style shenanigans is also fun. making it so nothing can put a robot into conflict with legitimate authority effectively removes a lot of the unique and int...

Cik

assisting someone who has been known to cause harm in many cases is legitimately stupid. sillicons are not blithering idiots, they can connect 2+2. if some guy has murdered someone and is now asking for access to a door while holding a bloody stunbaton, you are fully within your rights to not open ...

Cik

Frankly there should be no such thing either. You should be just asking "Will the following lead to human harm?". Otherwise what, security officer that struck an inmate is to be ignored forever because "harmful hooman"? Fuck no. assisting someone who has been known to cause harm ...

Cik

make sure HANDOFF button is punched on the panel left of the RWR, and your MODE switch (by CM thumbswitch and SYMBOLOGY INT switch) is set to semi. if handoff is pressed and you are on MODE: SEMI you will get an audio warning if: the enemy fires a SARH (semi-active radar homing) missile at you. an e...

SMES settings should be 200000 input 140000 output, input on output on. you will of course have to have an energy source, like the solars or an active singularity to provide power.

Cik

Speed nerf is necessary if you ask me, at least down to human levels of movement... Sanic fast is never actually a good thing. It's fun, but tiny view sizes and shitty targetting systems make any combat in space impossible at those speeds. bullshit. space combat was different of course, but certain...

afaik the flight models for the F-15 etc are very far from realistic. for instance, that shit does not lose control just from turning. i think it's gotten better since 2008, but it's still not very realistic. it's loss of control is still out of whack, the F-15C is very stable. MIG-29 i'm not sure a...

Cik

>minute like anon said, the F-16 FLCS is a wondrous automaton. while making the plane depart from controlled flight is possible if you know what you're doing, it's very, very difficult. even in the case of a 9G turn, the thing is rock solid. lock on, while a sim, is much lighter than falcon. lock on...

Cik

yeah, tanks are standard issue but on CAS and SEAD you'll sometimes drop them for more weapons. in particular, those two pylons can be used for 6(!) rockeye II, an extremely deadly cluster munition. a 4ship that drops tanks can expect 20+(!) more kills just because of the extra bombs, and when there...

Cik

both times we were internals only, the first time to carry more weapons and the second time because the air tasking order fucked up. internals only falcon is a bitch just because you burn 800~ pounds on the takeoff run. the engine doesn't really get efficient until angels 20~ you can carry an underb...

Cik

no official time. it just happens when everyone shows up most of the time. that does tend to happen quite often on weekends. we had 5 guys on friday and were doing some sweeps towards the russian border. if anybody from here wants to join the "group" (very informal i guess) you're welcome....

Cik

sure. i can usually gather up 4-6 people depending on what day it is, sometimes more sometimes slightly less. we generally fly long campaigns, and do all kinds of simple to hypercomplicated ops. would be nice if we can poach some more from this forum. the more people you have the more complicated co...

Cik

>8 kills with 5 missiles

unfortunately the ocean ended my life. RIP ocean.

please seek vengeance.

Cik

ain't nothing wrong with that stick honestly.

the nice thing about flight sims is that you really don't need to pile in tons of money if you don't want to. a 20bux stick can work perfectly fine.

hell, you can put together a decent freetrack and an OK stick for like 70bux~

Cik

ah, that makes sense. should be relatively easy to underthrottle one engine then trim to compensate for lopsided thrust. didn't think of that.

Cik

my friend has an X55. i'm secretly jealous. i'll probably get around to picking up better equipment eventually. it's a real bummer though, no one seems interested in making a dedicated F-16 HOTAS. the cougar exists but afaik it's been out of production for a long time, maybe 10 years. i didn't know ...

Cik

do you have a cougar? the cougar afaik is a 1:1 representation of the f-16 stick / throttle, unless you have those you probably aren't going to get anywhere near 1:1, but i understand the desire. if you do though, i'd be honestly very surprised if no one has bothered to make a 1:1, because in theory...

Cik

i'm much less equipped, unfortunately. the BMS forums might have what you're looking for though. i've never calibrated a TIR, unfortunately but i've helped a few of my friends calibrate complicated throttle / stick setups and i know how the falcon side of it works, so if you need help with that i'll...

Cik

nah. just some friends i poached from another (non-falcon) clan i'm a part of, and some people i know into flight stuff. if you've never played a campaign through, once you demolish the DPRK airforce in campaign, sometimes russia or china will step in and start sending sukhoi 27 / 30 / TU-16 / MIG-3...

Cik

sunday is fine too, though me and a few dudes are flying sweeps right now against russia and china.

~whatever works~

Cik

"vast conspiracy" was never even implied. i'm referring exclusively to the guy (who i assume submitted the change) who said somewhere on page 3 "working as intended :^)" smiley added by me.

Cik

btw anon3 i'm playing dark heresy fri night so if you're still on for saturday i'm game. not sure how you want to handle voice? post and tell me how you want to set it up, and how many you're bringing. if anyone else from the thread wants to come, you are welcome regardless of skill level.

Cik

that was a very long fun round. i was the AI.

Cik

the recent slew of flight "simulators" that don't require a stick is cancer. sometimes my friends are like "why don't you just play war thunder :^)" i hate my friends.

also to be honest if you don't have a joystick to play mechwarrior with you are a casual anyway geez

Cik

change is bad. at least, jetpacking should be two times to three times as fast as it is now. jetpacks are now effectively pointless, and spacewalking while probably too fast before is now ludicrously slow, it's a pain in the ass and takes engineers forever to get anywhere on the hull. honestly space...

if you're playing anything outside the stock campaign AWACS is not certain. if russia's involved, there will be MIG-31s and they have a ~60 mile engagement range against lumbering targets, not to mention the default su-27 just pushing into friendly turf for OCA will sometimes hit them with adders. i...

Cik

you're pretty much correct about the process (though personally i turn pilot voice off so you don't hear fox 3 / pitbull calls and have to watch your indicators) but step 3 and four aren't as simple as they seem, especially against a modern aircraft (su-27, mig29S, mig-31) and target ID is complicat...

Cik

better to just jump right in IMO. you're not going to acclimatize much to the falcon by playing DCS, unless maybe you're playing the complex ones like A-10C. even then, you're still going to have to fill in the blanks of the non-general knowledge like "how the fuck do i ramp this?" "h...

Cik

not sure anon, i play dark heresy on fridays / saturdays. i'll talk with the GM in the next day or so and get back to you on saturday. in the circumstance that it's on saturday, i can play friday night or sunday (all day) not sure how busy you are?

>Ill give it a shot.

neat.

Cik

alright, sick. you will find many similarities between A-10C AG stuff. for instance, the maverick mode i'm told is extremely similar, besides the F-16Cs radar slave mode it's apparently identical. CBU-87/97/MK20D rockeye II should be basically the same. i'm not sure how the A-10C's CCRP works (it do...

yeah no worries dude. i'm checked out on every weapon system. hosting is pretty easy but if you like, i'll handle it. i'll pay attention to the thread, post here when you've got time and we can go through stuff. if you want to get acquainted with weapons system and employment there are krause's tuto...

Cik

oh, BMS. yeah i fly it quite a bit. if you guys want an extra guy for your wing, i'll fly with you. i can host even. i use IVC and always ramp, what weapons do you guys know?

Cik

yeah, this whole situation kind of obligated me to register. for what it's worth probably not much this whole situation was bonkers. at least in my opinion, the lead op (who was afk for ~5 minutes) escalated this whole situation. the power struggle wasn't even inevitable, but punishing lumi alone fo...
