I don’t remember if it did when I used it. Our convention was to -2 your own change until it was ready to go 😅

Yeah, pretty interesting. I’m excited for this application of AI… it will help a lot!

I saw this post in my mind’s eye. It was only a matter of time

I think an independent thruster controls mod would be great. Space drifting in elite with 6 degrees of freedom was so much fun.

Most low level enemies drop weapons that only deal between 3 - 11 damage, which are basically useless against anything higher than level 5. I found some higher level weapons in a shop that dealt 30 - 40 damage and found they made combat much more fun.

As I progressed however, I noticed that enemy levels in a location were distributed:

• 4-5 low level
• 10-15 med level
• 1-5 high level

So there is still a problem with bullet sponges. I keep an overpowered shotgun (med damage, high rate of fire, explosions on crit) with me and just bum rush the high level enemies with that. Otherwise you’d be shooting them all day with your 40 damage rifle.

As you go on, those high level enemies drop weapons that do more damage, so there is progression…. But you also just encounter higher level enemies with more health so the problem continues.

I see that there are already combat rebalance mods on nexus, the kind I’ve used on Fallout games in the past, and I’ll probably install one of those when I decide to start a new play through. (Which, I definitely will. I’m enjoying the game a lot overall despite there being some tedious aspects)

It’s true. You can already see some smoke in this picture. About an hour later it started to become much worse.

There are fires in Oregon to the south, and fires in Canada to the north. Someone said we were likely seeing smoke from the South today, but maybe a bit of both, and since winds died down it just settled in the valley. It’s obscured views through the afternoon and into the night. Hopefully clears up by morning

Correct! This was actually not the summit, but a few bluffs west of there. Anyone who wants to get here should take the mirror lake trail and follow signs for Tom, Dick, and Harry.

At this particular spot was a rounded out rock which made for the comfiest natural seating I’ve come across yet! 😁

Yeah, duly noted. I want to avoid ever plugging a usb device into some wall - mounted usb plug.

I’m looking at picking up some “brick” chargers - the type that usually come with a phone (at least in the past).

I already have a power bank that I plan on bringing - it’s a bit older tech, But it still boasts a large battery bank and I’m hoping it’ll work for the pocket Wi-Fi and phone during the day.

Sweet! I figured they wouldn’t be too hard to find.

Putting a power strip behind an adapter is an interesting idea though, I will have to think about that. Might be nice for the extra range etc.

Thanks for your feedback!

I’m a huge repost fan \m/
