  1. This was developed out of a desire not to run Zenurik all the time but still be able to play super spamming frames. It also provides better energy regen than zenurik for channeled abilities (so exaulted weapons and the like). 
    The only mod you need on your warframe is equilibrium. I’ll explain why in a moment. You will need a dethcube armed with a sweeper. The dethcube should have energy generator, synth fiber, and synth deconstruct. The sweeper should be modded for maximum fire rate, with punch through, spread and multishot.
    Synth deconstruct gives enemies a 25% chance to drop a health orb on death so long as your sentinal assists with the kill. Synth fiber allows you to pick up health orbs even if you have full hp. That is what allows equilibrium to do its work. Ideally every fourth enemy you kill will drop a health orb which you can pickup for 27 energy. On top of that dethcube will drop a regular energy orb every 10 kills. 
    The reason for the sweeper is to allow dethcube to “tag” as many enemies as possible, giving you a higher chance to proc synth deconstruct.
    I find that even for super spammers like the new Ember, or Mag this is able to keep my energy pool fully topped off. You do still have to use efficiency mods along side this setup, but it really is very powerful. I generally use equilibrium where I would normally put flow. 
    This setup also allows health conversion to be viable under certain circumstances. If you can keep it fully stacked it does give more ehp than vitality, but that only works for frames that very rarely take damage of any kind.

    Dude they literally included a skylight. Theres no way it could be darker than it is now. But don't worry, its not all done the update is still a bit far away!

    I’m on pc, so it just dropped. And in the skylight part the orbiter is a bit brighter. However the rest of the ship was made considerably darker.

  3. I’m sure some people are going to like this. I don’t. I finally got the orbiter looking the way I wanted about a week ago, and the. They do this. And that would be fine if the new design wasn’t so GOD DAMN DARK! WTF DE? Why do I live in a cave now? I’m a space ninja not a goblin! I’ve had to completely change by color scheme to get even a little light in here. My old orbiter looked great, now if I don’t use the brightest possible colors I can, I feel like I’ve wandered into a stage in Amnesia. Please either get some light in here or give me some lamps to buy as decorations. And no Arlo’s doesn’t count, because it just glows, it doesn’t actually light up the area around it.

    Uhh, it's simple, I don't understand what you don't get.

    They want to kill every human. By going to war they gain the ability to kill all humans. That's literally it.

    If that’s the case why did they wait until we woke up to attack? We’ve been asleep for centuries remember? If their goal is simple genocide why wait until the Origin system’s greatest defenders had returned before going on the offensive?

    The thinking is missing that it's a matter of retaliation potential.  In the real world, USA's enemies don't actively nuke us because the USA can nuke back, and even if we couldn't, other nations could nuke in retaliation.  "Mutually assured destruction" is ironically the best peace-keeping mentality humanity has ever had.

    In Warframe, the Sentients attack the origin system and it's not like we can just go to Tau and start laying waste to their worlds, nor are there other star-traveling races/factions out there that will strike Tau simply because they agree that attacking the Origin system is not cool.  The sentient's war on the Orokin (and their descendants) is more akin to us spraying down a hornets nest with wasp killer before it becomes a real problem for our home.  You're not under any real threat right now, but in time you could be.

    I don’t agree. By attacking us they massively accelerate the development of our ability to strike at them, because before we weren’t trying to repair or recreate the outer terminus. 

    We have the theoretical knowledge already, we just never put it into practice before. Unless they can wipe us out before we develop that technology we will be striking back. And nothing they’ve done so far has in any way inhibited our industry or R&D. So we might have been a threat to them before, but unless they end this war quickly we will be a threat to them now. 

    I am reminded of something Admiral Yamamoto said during WWII when planning the war with the US. He said that he could run wild for six months and had to force a surrender in that time, otherwise our industry would out produce what Japan could and we would overrun them. 

    However unlike Admiral Yamamoto the Sentients aren’t launching massive attacks to try and cripple our forces. They’re probing the system for intel. That implies a long, drawn out war. Exactly the type of war that would see us able to strike back.

    iirc per vitruvian the sentients dont want "humans" aka "orokin" ruing their paradise worlds they have terraformed 

    lead to old war which they lost , and then we tenno took our the orokin elite (stalkers codex) across the system simultaneously

    now the sentients are restored to a fighting capability of forces and simply want to again prevent humans from screwing up their worlds, universe ECT

    except this time they seem on a path to not only prevent us from doing the whole ruining of their worlds, but also to convert us to be like them aka amalgums 

    this is probably due to sentient hive mind or mind collective, the larger units "parents" can control their fragments or force them to obey their commands and be used as a "drone army:

    this i believe is stemmed from their awareness, as hunhow and his mate (the sentient space base)  both probably gained sentience naturally and combined to create natah (lotus) who they purposefully created to have comparable sentience / intelligence given her "spy, infiltrator" roll required it

    so if people are then grafted or merged with drone units its possible they can be manipulated or inherently controlled by the derived sentient itself 

     thus they have moved from being replicators and now to be more like the Borg 

    If you’re right about the hive mind that would explain a lot and be really cool.

    Any number of reasons from the need of every civilization to expand to vengeance to simply seeing the Tenno as a threat still.

    Consider that the Sentients know the Tenno and Warframes still exist and that they can still take out the Sentients. Consider that the Tenno took the Sentients down in the Old War.
    That alone is enough reason to attack and to attack before the Tenno are too well organized and become the main power in the Solar System (I know we feel like it but really, there are no Tenno controlled spheres in the Solar System that we know of).

    I don’t think that the need for a civilization to expand makes sense. I’ve spoken on that earlier in this forum but the TL;DR is that there are a lot of other systems that would be easier to colonize and using void travel to reach the Origin system renders them barren anyway. 

    I don’t think that a potential threat is a logical reason to start a war of extermination. By that logic if you have a nuclear weapon, and so does someone else who may one day oppose you then you should definitely fire on them before they build any more, because maybe one day they might be a threat. Thus guaranteeing that they will use that weapon on you now.

    You're assuming that we'll be in a position to do so.

    Well, yeah. Nothing they have done so far has in any way threatened our industry or R&D. So I do assume we’ll start trying. If you mean we won’t be capable of launching an attack I strongly disagree. We proved in the Old war that we are a match for the Sentients. So of course we would be able to launch an attack once we have access to the Tau system. Assuming anything less is massively underestimating us.

  9. 5 minutes ago, Corvid said:

    We don't currently have a means of getting to Tau, what with the Outer Terminus being damaged and all. Taking us out now is effectively risk free for the wider Sentient civilisation.

    But right now we’re also not trying to get to Tau. Attacking us like this guarantees that we’ll start trying. Unless they can wipe us out before we succeed in reaching Tau they’re going to be fighting this war on their home turf. 

    But you may be right, they might be sufficiently arrogant to think they could pull that off.

    I'm not entirely sure it's as easy as you say to move through intersystem space. Orokin didn't actually have intergalactic travel, they used the rails. I think going to other systems rather than Origin would be a very wasteful endeavour in terms of time and resources, to the point where even an actively hostile system might be preferable. 

    First off moving through intersystem space is time consuming yes but they had to do it the first time in order to get to the Tau system to begin with. Also from what we’ve seen Sentients are near immortal so the time between stars (say 10-20 years at a reasonable speed) would not be a problem for them. 

    Also they become barren when they use void travel to come to the Origin system. So coming here rather than going somewhere else doesn’t net them anything in terms of colonization.

    They don't. That is why Amalgam series are born.

    As far as I know. Other than fighter, Sentients also have citizen that still stay on Tau. That is why I speculated that we may encounter those who don't want to fight and may either ignore or aid us in trying to live together in peace.

    The other one is that... The void that gave us power may be a bigger threat than we expected. That is why they need to destroy us as soon as possible.

    If the New War was confined to the Origin system then yes using Amalgams would mean minimal risk. But attacking like this draws the Tenno into the Tau system, which is a huge risk.

    As for allied or neutral Sentient, I had never considered the possibility. I really hope they do that, that would be awesome.

  12. Just now, Autongnosis said:

    I think the problem lies in resources at this point. Considering the time line the Tau system is probably saturated now, and they need new ground if they want to reproduce and progress further. 

    The fact they can also avenge their old grudges and cleanse the last vestiges of the Orokins is just a bonus imo. 

    But there are many many other systems out there which don’t carry the threat of war. Hell, the Tau system is closer to a number of systems than it is to the Origin system. And the Sentients were designed for terraforming, they can go to any system they want. Why go to the one system in the Galaxy that you know will make an active attempt to kill you?

    Mostly vengeance, I'd say. The Tenno killed a large amount  of sentients in The Old War, so they wanna wipe us out. And I also think that to them Tenno = Orokin (Which is technically true). Oh yeah, and the thing about kidnapping the daughter of the sentient queen

    I don’t understand why that is worth the risk of utter annihilation

    Simple, Sentients hate anything and everything Orokin related. That includes us, Grineer, Corpus, etc...

    By "cleansing" the Origin System, they might want to restore and preserve what's left in it since its their birthplace.

    In that case why only attack again now? We Tenno have been asleep for centuries. Why wait to come back until after the Origin System again until it gets its strongest defenders back?

    9 minutes ago, NocheLuz said:

    Tenno are Orokin... What make you think they'll not do the same as their ancestor did?

    Also, Corpus consider themself as Orokin. I just heard some dialog from capturing target calling us 'Betrayer'. Although, not as bad as the Orokin. If either Grineer or Corpus dominating one another. Maybe they'll also targeted Tau next.

    PS. Also, just a speculation. We may have Sentient friends/Colonies who will help us when we finally reach Tau.

    But that is all a potential threat, not a guaranteed one. The Orokin sent the Sentients to terraform the Tau system, so they were definitely coming. They were a guaranteed threat, and thus worth the risk. Risking the destruction of your entire species on a theoretical threat is... well kind of insane.

  14. So this has been bothering me for a while. As far as I understand the reason for the Old War was that the Sentients didn’t want the Orokin coming to the Tau system and destroying everything the Sentients had built.

    By that definition, if that was the Sentient goal they won the Old War as much as we Tenno did. The Orokin are dead. The threat to the Tau system is ended. The Tenno are content to remain in the Origin system and none of the other factions are much of a threat to the Sentients.

    So if the threat to their system is ended what do the Sentients gain by attacking the Origin system again? Especially now when the Tenno are awake?

    The Tenno were perfectly happy remaining in the Origin system. As far as we were concerned the war was over. But by attacking now the Sentients force our hand. The fact that they’re coming back after their forces were annihilated and their goal achieved means that a defensive war will not bring long term peace. We have to go to the Tau system and either force a proper peace treaty on the Sentients or destroy their ability to make war entirely. 

    So looking at this from the perspective of the Sentients I don’t understand what they gain by doing this. The only thing I can think of is that this is a preemptive strike because we Tenno have the potential to be a massive threat to them. 

    But us attacking them was never guaranteed. And by starting the war themselves they have made this threat become a reality.  And here’s the thing, even if this war goes in their favor a large part of it will be fought in the Tau system, and there’s no way a war between us and the Sentients won’t have a TON of collateral damage. Just look at the fallout of the Old war!

    What’s more, if they lose they may go extinct. And I do not understand why anyone would start a war of extinction if they don’t have to. 

    TL;DR

    I don’t get what the Sentients gain from this war that makes it worth the massive risk. 

  15. From what I’ve seen of the new railjack fights they require a lot of coordination and therefore communication. At the moment there are only two ways of communication in Warframe. One is the written chat which is far to slow for a game this fast paced. The other is voice chat which isn’t great since A: not everyone owns a mic; B: even those who do own mics don’t always want to use them; and C; people can be seriously annoying via voice chat. Anyone with any experience in multiplayer PvP game knows what I’m talking about. 

    So what I’m driving at is that I think Warframe needs a proper ping system before it integrates railjack. Again coordination is key and without a ping system it will be a lot harder, especially when playing with randoms. And it’s not like a ping system capable of this kind of coordination is impossible, just look at MOBAs or Apex Legends. Hell I played MOBAs for 3 years without ever using voice chat and was still able to coordinate just fine, and it’s not like MOBAs don’t require a ton of coordination.

    Anyway I’ve said my piece and I hope DE integrates a system like this with the railjack update instead of making us wait six months to a year before doing so.

  16. So I just recently got back to Warframe and noticed that we have these new two tone color things. However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit both of them. Whether I click, right click, or control click I can only affect one color. I’m hoping that this is me being an idiot and not that we can only edit one color cause that would be really dumb. Pls just tell me what button to press to edit the other color

  17. Not sure if this is a bug or if it’s something with the new melee changes but on excalibur my exalted blade will deactivate seemingly without cause. This has happened with no mobs near me so it’s not an eximus or anything. It has happened while I was only pressing the melee button and directional inputs, so no mouse buttons. I cannot figure out what’s causing it except that it seems to happen whenever my energy drains by 10. Every 10 energy excal just shuts off the sword. If I’m missing something please tell me, if not... well this’ll go in the bug reports.

    Well, for most gear there's always the option of crafting another copy, that not least will also allow you to experiment with different Polarities.

    For some gear sure but not for vaulted primed stuff

  19. I would love the ability to have more than 3 loadout setups, even if I would have to pay plat for it. I have several frames with dramatically different builds, and I’d imagine this is even more true for some eidolon hunting frames and anyone who plays PvP. Again I’d be happy to pay plat for it if DE feels the need to do that for server space or something.
