Same amenities as the Heavy Frigate, just with lots more cargo space.
Hey, all. Just checking in.
I'm Phil, from Michigan, and I'm not sure if I'm an alcoholic or not.
For some reason, I decided to check if there was an AA subreddit. And, sure enough, here you are.
I've been involved with a recovery-based community in the past, though I've left that community as it was becoming VERY culty. (Fun fact: NEVER get involved with a 'community' that originated as a shitty 'Fan Club' of anyone known as 'The most banned comedian on the internet'.)
Anyway...
Here's my point. Alcohol is expensive. so is gas.
I want to replace the alcohol with something almost as tasty, and cheaper.
No soda. I've tried Kombucha... too spendy. And, drinking alot of it has it's own set of issues.
I've tried setlzer water. 90% of them have lackluster taste.
I've tried tea. Not for me.
Water is boring, and I can only get it down when it's painfully ice-cold.
Mixed drinks bring a unique thing nothing else does... the ability to make life seem less... stressful.
Do I need the alcoholic drinks? no. I can go weeks without having a drink.
But I enjoy the drinks when they're available.
Don't really care if that makes me an alcoholic or not.
I want to quit for three reasons:
-I will be turning 40 in july, and want to work on improving my health as much as I can.
-Alcohol is expensive.
-I want to get to the point where I'm in control of my faculties at all times. Alcohol prevents that.
Anyone have any idea what the comparison would be between a 'Credit' within the game and any currency we have now? I won't use the USD, as it's kind of volatile, but... perhaps... 1 credit would be equal to, perhaps, an ounce of silver? maybe a tenth of an ounce of silver? Because 7m credits for a heavy frigate hull seems extremely... low, considering it's basic capabilities as a fully functional ship without any additional fittings. Sure, 7m USD will get you a 2-6 year old luxury yacht that's 80-100ft long. but, all that has to do is float, keep water out, and move under it's own power.
On another note, a TL4 backpack is 50cr. A modern, durable, well-equipped pack with a frame could be up to $500, which would mean credits might have a 1:10 ratio with the USD?
Input would be appreciated.
I would just like to understand in relatable terms.
Kinda tipsy, relaxing for a few hours. I"m feeling good. ask me anything.
Replaced pedals, added water bottle cages, a new saddle, fenders, a rear rack and a kickstand (for storage purposes only)
Hey, all. Just looking for some people to chat with on the regular. I'm not looking for all-day, every day chat, because that's unreasonable. plus I've got to get things done here.
I'm tall, single, no kids. I've got two nephews and a niece, several honorary nieces and nephews, a few friends, but nowhere near what i've had in the past. I got rid of most of my social media accounts in 2016 due to political BS. (No, i don't want to talk politics.) It's much harder to make friends as an adult, it's even harder to make friends without social media, though, I'd argue that the friends you make offline are, arguably, better friends than not.
I like riding bikes, camping, road trips and writing.
I enjoy music, especially metal (Lorna Shore, Sabaton, Amon Amarth, etc), movie scores (the best one is Interstellar) and a big list of independant musucians on youtube. (First to Eleven, Halocene, Cole Roland, Violet Orlandi, Lauren Babic). I enjoy car-based youtube content (Cleetus McFarland, BoostedBoiz), military history content (Fat electrician), cryptids (Wendigoon on YT), etc.I enjoy music, especially metal (Lorna Shore, Sabaton, Amon Amarth, etc), movie scores (the best one is Interstellar), and a big list of independent musicians on YouTube.
I work as a Computer-Aided Designer at a fabrication shop.
Anyway, DM me.
Both made by Chessex.
The LAB dice set (8 dies, with 2 D6's) are clear and standard-sized.
The CHX 22430 set are large (Standard D20 for scale) and UV-reactive.
Got these at a place called 'Hero's Haven' in Michigan City, IN.
So, I did a write-up of some tech I want to bring into my gameplay. It's from another Sci-Fi series ('Undying Mercenaries' by B.V. Larson). The revival machines provide a few things to the story:
If anyone wants to take a look at it and let me know your thoughts on it, I'd appreciate it.
Ok. Here it is.
Full floorplan layouts of all 4 levels.
The ship is dubbed 'The Murphy', as in, Murphy's law.
Because anything that could possibly go wrong on a starship has happened to this ship. From small component failures to catestrophic fires, hull breaches, even severe structure fracturing.
But, each time, it's been repaired.
First image is the bottom level.
Second image is the second level.
Currently working on the bridge level.
Made for my 'Stars without Number' campaign.
This is the bottom level
Each grid square is 1yd by 1yd... because American....
This is only the first level. I've got to do the second and third levels.
-Second level will have captains quarters, passenger berths, additional crew quarters, AI computer cores and such. Third level is JUST engineering control and the bridge.

Just finished pulling the engine, trans and lots of other little components out of this donor 2012 Forester 2.5X 5MT to swap into my friends 2011 Forester 2.5X 5MT. This one had half the mileage and the FB25 actually runs on all 4 cylinders.
One of the PC's in my SWN game (Best friends 13-year-old son), has recently discovered RPG games. I introduced him to Skyrim over christmas break and now, he's taking the 'Unskilled Alchemist' approach to learning what effects things have.... by eating them.
We finished out the previous game session with him having just consumed most of a 2L bucket of 'Space Barnacles' we scraped off the hull of our abandoned starship before leaving the salvage yard with it...
The next session will be fun... for me. Thoughts? Suggestions?
New design.
Ship is 550' long. It's on the very maximum size of a Frigate hull. Might technically be considered a small cruiser.
100'x150' cargo bay.
This is just level one of this ship. level 2 is yet to be drawn.
This ship has had a long history. It's something like 500 years old. Early 'Silence' construction at the Orion Orbital Shipyard.
Original owner was a Mining operation. Next several owners were privateers, smugglers, pirates, and such. The owner before the PC crew got a hold of it was the owner of a ship scrapyard on the surface of Earth's Moon.
Note the numerous smugglers holds and compartments.
Made the fighters vertically-stacked, meaning capacity is now: 4272 fighters.
This is very possibly a one-off ship, manufactured by a rather wealthy faction.
But, what's interesting is...
I looked into the average cost of an aircraft carrier, which is less than a third the length of this ship, and it's 'Just' 13.1 BILLION dollars. This, utilizing the following multiplier (on items, fittings, upgrades and mods with a modifier based on hull size)
-Cost: Capitol ship x 100
-Power: Capitol ship x 2
-Mass: Capitol ship x 2
Also, I've added flight-deck crew quarters right next to the fighter bays. (Probably 4 levels much like the fighter bays themselves.)
The tram system will go down the spine of the ship on all levels.
I added the rear hangar bay, currently housing a pair of frigates, with the intention of using that for either moving cargo or for later use as a bay to house shuttles.
