Vernier thruster Puns

Or is my junk broke?

I was just thinking about "thrusters on limbs" vs "thrusters on a singular system" would be.

On the side of thrusters on limbs, you would think this gives you a lot more control, but 2 thrusters on the legs seem really hard to stabilize, even if you have a supercomputer doing it for you. Some slight damage or miscalibration would be a huge risk.

Most of all, I'm quite curious if the motions that Ironman or the MS seem to do in their respective shows actually conform with the physics of it. For example, sometimes you may see a MS tilt one leg to the back to either slow his forward speed or even push himself forwards abit, but somehow I feel like this should flip him over? What are your thoughts?

Hi Everyone!

Is there a method for creating new conical thrusters from scratch. I'v lost two of the itty bitty ones from my psycho zaku and I'm curious if anyone knows any solutions?

Thanks!

Sincerely, someone who desperately wants to use any other sparrow but hates how slow they are, how little health they have, and how they only have 4 boosts instead of 6.

Edit: How on earth is this a controversial opinion... ONE hideous sparrow has more health, is faster, and has multiple perks when every other sparrow only has one perk. Why can't Bungie either introduce sparrow transmog, or buff other sparrows to compensate?

Let's look at the stats of Always on time:

-6 boosts instead of the default 4

-17% faster than any other sparrow

-Substantially more health than any other sparrow

-has BOTH "Improved Assembler" (shorter cooldown between summons) and "Vernier Thrusters" (6 side boosts instead of 4) -- every other sparrow can only get one of these at a time.

I like that a better sparrow is available by doing raids, but I wish that you could instead buy a "sparrow upgrade" with Spoils of Conquest that boosts your sparrow up to the level of Always On Time.

Rarity for Sparrows in Destiny 2 means effectively nothing. Very few people use the green and blue teir Sparrows for anything outside of looks and even then there hasn't been any new legendary Sparrows since the Season of Opulence, every Sparrow currently available from Eververse is an exotic, every noteworthy Sparrows beyond that (the Always on Time and Cayde's Sparrow) are exotics.

No one really has a reason to use a Sparrow with a speed lower than 160 unless they're a brand new player and have nothing else. And it's not like SRL (Sparrows Racing) is every coming back so why have different speeds in the first place? So is it time perhaps Sparrows became more like Ghost Shells? Maybe Bungie should bring all Sparrows up to 160 speed, that way you don't have to sacrifice the look of a Sparrow you love for just for speed.

Perhaps they could even add mod slots that allow players to pick and choose what features they want on their Sparrows? For example, Autoloader, Destablizers, Vernier Thrusters, Transmat Preloader, etc... maybe even Stealth Drive perhaps? Bungie could easily reuse the same mechanics from ghosts shells, give Sparrows 3 or 4 mod slots with an energy limit of 10. Then make them easily upgradable, and assign each perk/mod a different energy value based upon how powerful or rare the perk is (for example Stealth Drive might cost more than Air Control). Heck even a few new perks never previously seen wouldn't hurt.

Speaking of perks, Destabilizers are so commonly seen on new Eververse Sparrows that they might as well be on all Sparrows by default. Destroyed isn't even a truly useful perk as its not like flipping dies anything aside from looking cool. You get a tiny speed boost for successfully landing a flip but the perk doesn't prevent enemies from shooting at you midair. Unless you're good at timing and landing flips you usually end landing upside-down and falling off as result.

Regardless what are your thoughts or ideas?

8 January, 2045 - Lion 6 orbital shuttle

Geostationary Orbit, 140°E

Free-fall always played tricks on the mind. It was that inability to see the horizon, to determine up or down, that led to disorientation and a screeching lizard brain if one did not focus. For Starla, who had long since passed the millennium club - logging 1000 days in space - venturing out into the great empty void was still an anxiety-inducing prospect. Her sole lifeline to safety was the graphene-formed umbilical that snaked from Lion 6's open airlock and that was triple-fastened to her exovehicle suit.

It was a nerve-wracking experience even for spacewalk veterans, and Starla had found that the EV suit's sweat-wicking and air-conditioning properties were insufficient for the task. Of course, she wasn't the only one out here labouring in the strenuous conditions of zero-g.

No, her blimp-like orbital shuttle was one of a dozen that floated in the aether, floodlights and holoprojectors illuminating the dark and allowing the antariksawan to work in relative safety. From afar, they must have looked like jellyfish parasites, crowding around the skeletal silhouette of a voidcraft slowly taking shape from nothing.

NusAngkasa Bhd. was the Nusantara League's single largest orbital company, with a federally-granted monopoly on affordable space lift and extensive integration with the Angkatan Antariksa. Starla got a paycheque from both NusAngkasa and the armed forces, and by all accounts she was an employee of both. It was confusing, bu

So now, I'll be defending anything belonging to the UNSC.

Let's start.

NAVY:

UNSC ships keep floating without vernier thrusters at all.

This is often criticrized, but wrong.

UNSC ships use antigravity manipulation technology in order to hover and float. This is the same technology that lets them generate artificial gravity fields inside starships, but working in reverse. UNSC ships use antigravity manipulation technology in order to hover and float.

Having your main gun stuck to your hull is bad.

Actually it's the opposite.

Space combat that the UNSC does happens at thousands, or perhaps millions, of kilometers. The MAC, fires a 600+ ton slug at 40% lightspeed according to Halo Encyclopedia page 251.

Their ships are pretty simple: flying gun. That design is resonable in long range space combat, and why is simple: weapons, especially projectile ones, have recoil. HAving your gun on the spine means that you can simply mash the fire button and go flankspeed to deal with any recoil that may result, making it far easier to aim.

They don't have radiators.

Actually, they do.

Evidently they have a more advanced cooling system than radiators, as we see, heat is still an issue pre Covvies, meaning that they have some sort of internal radiators (like those of a car maybe, or of a submarine).

Fusion reactors generate extreme heat which must be removed in order for them to remain active without overheating.

Usually, the excess heat was conducted to a chemical agent which would then vent into space. However, the UNSC Pillar of Autumn's upgraded specifications also included an upgraded cooling system, which featured a "laser-induced optical slurry of ions chilled to near-absolute zero", which was far more efficient than the typical method and removed the reliance on expendable chemical temperature-control substances. In essence, the amount of excess heat removed by the new system increased as the reactors' output did. This self-regulating and self-cooling power plant was critical in combat since it virtually eliminated a commander's concerns about overheating and slagging a ship's engines.

THEIR GUNS AND MISSILES ARE WEAK.

No.

I've been watching Gundam and building gunpla for 20+ years. I have seen the Fb referred to as full burnern(wat?), full vernern etc. Can we all agree that its supposed to be full vernier, as in Vernier thrusters? It bugs me that this has not been resolved in the 30 years since the series debuted and there are STILL inconsistencies in the naming to this day. How has nobody hit up Namco Bandai/Sunrise and straightened this out?

Thank you for coming to my petty-ass old guy Ted Talk.

Do your worst!

In every one of our ships we have at least one unique relic.

Humans, those hearty, terrifying, obtuse, stupid, ill-advised, glorious wonders, ship them in every direction and from every manufacturing port - some in batches of two or three, others by the thousands. And every ship captain who can carry one, they choose to do so, and find that humans and their allies are much more prone to treating them well for it.

And it comes down to one moment, with one human, in one fight, and it wasn't even his culture that got involved.

Three centuries after humans had reached into their skies and plucked their future out of the clouds, they were spreading across the galaxy on the back of anything that moved or admitted paying passengers; hitchhikers, drifters, soldiers-of-fortune, and even the odd wandering mystic - having a human aboard meant a small degree of social status.

After all, was it not the humans who stopped the plagues of Hynet, damming the flow by sacrificing a ship's worth of their own people, and staved off the surge of the Calo flower explosion by detonating a power plant on the capital moon itself?

Ingenuity, perseverance, and their bizarre means of living - the three things which guided most choices in hiring or admitting one aboard a given ship. It meant having a technician who could stay awake for entire cycles as opposed to needing relief after one and a half, maybe two shifts' worth of time; a medic who could, and would, donate their own blood to support a comparable species, just out of habit and need.

To have a soldier who'd die defending their chosen charges and exterminate anything that may rear its head as a threat.

And if one was lucky, if the human was so inclined, one could get all three for the same price - passage to the next port of call, or ship, or just a place on a distant moon to call their own. We long ago gave up guessing why they do that - to travel so lightly, bond so tightly, and fight so blindly, and still, they smile and they sing and they dance.

And they travel the stars on a whim and die there alone.

Those things that they ship out from those manufacturing ports and distribution hubs, they're a type of soft-drink dispenser. Approximately two meters tall, one meter wide and deep; they require currency on some level, as they are a symptom of commerce. The brands available are rarely name-grade, often almost after-market varieties, and they taste, as a rule, like liquid regret, yet they do the advertised job of p

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Previous Month: Here <https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/comments/n0oswl/may_2021_gunpla_restock_schedule_two_snipers_two/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3>

Hello All! This is an English Translation of Bandai's monthly restock schedule for Gundam kits. The original Japanese version is available in the "Useful Links" tab above. This list is by no means the authority on distribution, because logistics is complicated, but if you're looking for a particular kit, this should help you piece together when it'll be available.

This month's schedule was released oddly late, for unknown reasons. I suspect it went through some last minute changes from the way it was formatted, but I'm not 100% sure.

Regardless, this is a relatively low-risk, non-wacky month. Lots of mainstay sets, lots of 2.0's. Two things are worth mentioning. Firstly, two different MG sets for the original RX-78 Gundam are getting reprints (2.0 and The Origin), which is neat. You don't see that latter one a ton. Second thing is, of course, BALLS. The Ball is getting reprinted in both the HG set, which comes with two Balls, and the MG Ball Ver Ka, which is probably the most elegantly detailed ball you can imagine. I couldn't think of a joke to end on, so I'll just plug the MG GM 2.0 again, it's a great kit. Enjoy!

I've been measuring the different rates I've been getting for the endgame item points farming - to completely maximize stats as high as possible. This is Endgame, meaning after Rakshasa Baal. This is necessary because completing Rakshasa Baal lets you upgrade items further.

Items are maximized using the Item World Guide's "Enhance Item" feature. You'll use the "Increase [Stat] A TON" where the subheading is "Increase [Stat] TOO MUCH!" and it costs 100,000,000 Item Points. Levels, Training Bonus, and Kill Bonus amount to almost nothing in comparison. It's still worth raising the item to max level (9999), getting the unique innocents, and increasing the rarity to Epic (Rarity 100), but after that, you'll want to move to a different item in the Item World

I've been leveling up Trapezohedrons and Neo Baal Swords exclusively. They have base stats in everything so they're easier to level up. The methodologies I used were exclusively Item World methods, and were set up to increase items while I was farming points at the same time. Both methods are based off of PrimalLiquid's videos, I highly recommend checking them out:

"Item World Fast" Farming - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYa77ZXRPUA "Item World War Lady" Farming (Second method) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbyc_PeeNd4

The two methods I used will be called "Item World Fast" and "Item World War Lady". "Item World Fast" is the 1st video listed - you simply have thieves go through and steal from every chest. Use some killers (I recommend Teleport or a different flying Evility, you can get stuck behind a geo panel), put them in the skill squad with the 100% attack boost, give them some combo makers, and use the DI setup in the video.

"Item World War Lady" is the same as the 2nd video, make sure you have Treasure Hunter as the Evility AND as the uniques on the items. In my methodology, "Item World War Lady" is only effective once you've nearly maxed out ATK in a few items. It'll take you a long while to complete the setup, and as you're doing it, you'll gain enough or near enough Item Points to reach that amount. "Item World War Lady" is the ultimate goal, because it is significantly more effective than any other method. However, in these items, it takes a MASSIVE amount of a stat to work. You'll need 25+ trillion in ATK for this to work (I used 20* though, which may have been a mistake here). I use a slightly modified setup to Primalliquid's video, using Corpse Cannibal with level 9999 Full Str

1745, 5 January 2253, Hollis’ Hangar, Nyx, L5

Moxie barely fit in the packing netting, but she’d be secure for the flight. As the doors swung shut, obscuring her mech, Hollis waved to the crane operator who began lowering the hexagonal container onto the cargo trailer. With a creak of suspension springs, the container holding her life’s work dropped into place.

Hollis walked to the front of the trailer and pulled out her terminal. She needed a substantially bigger vehicle than her little cart to haul this trailer. After posting a job request, she leaned up against the container and waited for a response.

She thought as the noises of the evening surrounded her. I can’t believe I’m doing this. Hollis drummed her hand against the white container as she waited for someone to show up. There’s oxy-nitrogen pressurizing the container and it’ll stay pressurized for 5 years at the current rate, at least. She’ll be fine. Hollis sighed. This was the craziest thing she’d ever done, and that included getting into a fight with the mafia with an unmodified construction vehicle as her sole weapon.

Sam drifted into the common room, Ana’s ears perking up a bit as the lynx entered. Her eyes darted towards Matt and then to Ana herself. She shook her head and said, “You two need to....ugh, this operation is dangerous.”

Ana swallowed and replied. “Obviously. Why are you telling us?”

Sam wrung her hands as she looked around the room. “You two should write...something to go to your family...if the worst happens.” She didn’t make eye contact with either of them.

Ana gritted her teeth. “Well it won’t. I won’t let that happen. Not again.” Her fur began to stand on end as her tail lashed.

Matt sighed and shook his head. “Ana....”
