Training maps

Are there any maps which only have enemy spawns with no AI/Ammo like the targeting tutorial?

I have a friend who's new to the game, and flight sims in general. Free flight is nice for testing basic flight, but he'd like to practice combat flight without the added pressure of being shot at.

Smart TV Operating Systems

I've been working on de-advertising myself as much as possible, and one of the big vectors left is a fire TV I got for cheap during black Friday. I hate the fire TV operating system, and would much rather have something lighter weight.

I haven't heard about many Smart TV projects, so I don't know if they exist or how usable they are, but I figured I would start exploring here. Are there any open source OSes that replace the ones baked into televisions? If so, how much would I "lose" by switching to them.

Awful bathrooms

I was inspired by this account on Instagram which posts these horrendous bathrooms, to see if I could recreate a couple in Paralives. I managed to get this one pretty accurate. Next chance I get, I'm going to work on the Pit Shower.

The worst part was realizing that the sink is too far from the toilet because I placed it completely clear of the stairs, when it's actually around the level of the first step.

Hardware for Full-Dart MHP Magpie

Hey all. I have the files for a full length dart Magpie, and it would be my first printed blaster. I want to make sure that I'm getting the right hardware. While some parts are obvious and easy to source, like the motors and flywheels, the battery terminal and the power switch, as well as the wire itself is just something I have no familiarity with. When looking for said switch, I find tons of different models. The BOM just lists it as a "Large Microswitch".

I see there's a hardware kit available on the wider internet, but I would like to save where I can, since it seems fairly expensive.

We should be able to scavenge for upgrades

One of the major problems with builds right now is that you're limited to 2-4 choices for weapon upgrades. Sometimes you go the entire dive without getting a relevant upgrade for your weapon.

​

So why not integrate it into the environment? Find an expanded mag on the table, or some high caliber ammo in a locker. You can either drop it in ellis to share with the team, or take it to the workbench yourself to get a guaranteed mag size, damage, etc upgrade. Or you can still take one of the two rolls it gives you.

Laser Designators

I keep hearing people talk about how many laser designators an aircraft has. How on earth do I find this information? I can't seem to find it on the wiki, and if it's conveyed ingame, it's not very clear.

LGS Learner Game

Since you all liked the last one so much, here's another.

We piled into the LGS for this one, because I knew we would need more terrain. Our objective today was simply to teach the game to a new player, and I think we managed that alright. For our first 3 player game, there weren't any real issues. Everyone fought everyone in equal measure, and everyone was able to secure a reasonable amount of loot. We're definitely getting better at using these box buildings the more we use them.

Kitchen Table Games

Quintin Pax and his mandalorian warband continue their fight against Before-Him-You-Stand, the Roboticist and his army of droids. The commando and gunner at stage left managed to push the captain into a retreat, while the rest held the middle alleyway to allow the others time to escape.

Given that this is our first "true" wargame, me and my gaming buddy have been working on building a collection of buildings and scatter, as well as learning how to set up boards. We've been making heavy use of a Tenfold Dungeon set, and my 3D printer. We've gotten much better at setting up boards that don't suck, and also look good.

I was wondering how easy/hard it would be to say, open the NPC template, give them a suit/outfit and a gun, force them into a pose, and then export that as a file for 3D printing.

I understand if this is also a task better suited for blender or maya, I just have 0 experience with those, and figure the creation kit would be slightly easier.
