  1. Just scale ammo accordingly. Snipers get one ammo per pick-up, shotguns get two, rifles get 20, pistols get 10. (arbitrary numbers). Universal ammo system can work, I don't see the argument of it making ammo efficiency too wonky.

    I hate how they take the "don't fix the game, just add a mod for it" approach. I'm sure they love people shelling out Plat for mods they want, but I prefer not to get ripped.

     

    If only mods would drop for free during gameplay... DE pls we want free mods!

  2. Yeah, I'm going to just start ignoring the opinion of anyone who thinks like this.

     

    Hek is fine. The existence of weapons that are overpowered outliers does not suddenly make it a bad weapon. 

     

    If anything, more people should be ragging on DE for the incessant power creep that's been making its way into the game. Less power creep = better standards = fewer weapons being relegated to the scrap heap. 

     

    Unfortunately, stuff like the Lato being nerfed(?!?!?!) doesn't give me much in the way of hope...

     

    Good choice. Ignoring people who have a different opinion makes life so much easier.

  3. You guys are all dumb. The most efficient means to wait without really waiting is sleeping.

     

    Just pass the F* out. Wake up in the future. For all YOU NEED TO KNOW you've travelled through time. Some nyquil and a few episodes of How It's Made are a whole lot cheaper than trying to purchase Blapperture Mesa from Cave Johnson and is also easier than hijacking a tardis.

     

    Oh snap!

  4. You say i'm making a critical misunderstanding about this, but I'm trowing that right back at ya.

    a quote from a couple of posts ago:
    "The faster you travel, the slower time will pass for you. For everyone else however time stays the same.
    So if 1 year goes by for you while you are traveling at some fraction of the speed of light, 30 years may have passed for everyone else.
    When you come back home, you aged 1 year, but everyone else 30 years."

    I still believe this is correct, and I think no one argued against it.
    So for all intensive purposes, the guy from the quote has traveled in to the future. From his own perspective, as well as everyone else.

    On the matter of energy requirements:
    Like I said, current tech can get us speeds up to 10% the speed of light. Sure, there are no spacecraft operational right now that can do this, but with the use of solar sails we can achieve these speeds quite easily. We have the tech, we just need more money to make it.
    Add a nice Ion thruster or two and some fancy lasers aimed at the sail and away we go.
    This wont let us travel 30 years ahead in to the future, maybe not even 1 year (I'm to dumb to do the calculations), but still it is traveling forward in time.
     

  5. Dumbed down science talk isn't good enough for an online forum?

     

    A nice little video of how relativity screws up GPS. Time traveling satelites whuuuuut!

     

    edit: forgot the link, i blame it on a paradox!

  6. That's not time travel though, and it only goes "forward" -- just slower than normal.

     

    Further problem: you will catch up with the people you left behind on your return trip.

     

    This is time travel. Please read up on relativity and time dilation. I'm sure someone else can explain it much better then I can.

  7. Relativity states something like this:

    The faster you travel, the slower time will pass for you. For everyone else however time stays the same.

    So if 1 year goes by for you while you are traveling at some fraction of the speed of light, 30 years may have passed for everyone else.

    When you come back home, you aged 1 year, but everyone else 30 years.

    ( all the numbers are made up, it's just an example

     

    Incorrect. Please look up why FTL travel is impossible, and I suggest looking into tachyons as a hypothetical example of particles going FTL (due to negative mass-energy).

     

    You would need at least the mass-energy of the universe (i.e., destroy everything, ever) to accelerate a single particle to exactly light-speed, iirc.

     

    I am not talking about FTL. I'm talking about speeds below the speed of light.
