I don't own excel. ;(


Also I was wrong on the "energy use increases exponentially with rate of fire" part. I meant to say velocity.

There's lots of alternatives to Excel itself. I usually use LibreOffice myself, which is open source software and completely free as such while still being able to do almost everything that Microsoft Office does. As long as you don't want the cloud garbage that they are shipping nowdays.

Energy usage probably would increase with rate of fire, but higher firing rates would actually give a lower velocity. Has to do with the effects of power draw and component heating causing the efficiency of the driver circuitry to decrease. Not only that, but that heating effect has a tendency to run away- the losses will increase faster and faster until a component in the drive melts and releases its magic smoke in the middle of a shootout.

You would achieve peak muzzle velocity firing one shot at a time, and giving the driver circuit sufficient time to recharge itself and cool down in between shots. This would give the greatest efficiency of energy transfer, as well as being the least demanding on the power supply and materials.
The effects of barrel and coil heat are decreased due to having multiple barrels and coils, and with superconductors there's also minimal resistance in the internal electrical mechanisms, allowing the high currents to flow with a very low resistance. I could see it firing at 3 rounds a second for maximum velocity. Maybe give it a selective fire, as Null mentioned? Lower rate of fire for higher armored targets and vice versa.

Ew. No. That looks ridiculous and despite being male makes my back hurt through probably the same weird process that makes me feel embarassed when a character on a tv show is embarassed.

Aye, what happened on FA? I heard there's some sort of password breach and some even got their email hacked.

Jeese, why these kinds of stuff happens so often in FA?

With pocky
And now, the second planet of Kauruva is all mine, moons included. Considering the attack for Kauruva I went completely terrible on account of the enemy Dark Eldar (Who are a part of the interlocking stalemate between them, the Sisters, and the Guard) having heavy vehicles several minutes into the fight, I savescummed and steamrolled my way to a foothold on Kauruva IIII, where Chaos just lazies about, not even finishing off the Dark Eldar, let alone take the last territory in the main planet. I think I'll hold off on attempting to storm the Necrons until after I have way too many honor guards.

Well aren't you opinionated? Huge boobs are almost a fetish, you know.

Pretty sure the average joe actually finds larger breasts to be attractive... Since I don't find them attractive, I'm not sure how big they need to be before it stops being a turn-on for the person with "average" interests. In other words I'm unsure at what point it stops being considered normal and starts being a fetish.

But alas, that's beside the point. I think what kC was referring to was

that. Although that part was really more of a joke. While I'm not attracted to large breasts, seeing them doesn't literally make my back hurt. Everything else makes my back hurt. Constantly. It's annoying. Though I do actually get embarassed by embarassing situations on TV. Vicarious Embarrassment, I think it's called. It's a real thing.

So, let's talk about Rust...
No, I do not mean Iron Oxide.
I mean the game. RUST.
From what little I've seen it looks very interesting. A proper survival-focused game... Sort of? It seems to have other elements too. In general, it looks very interesting.
But there are some things I cannot stand about it. Specifically it's insistence on being edgy.
I mean holy crap you could have made a cool game, but instead you make a bunch of weird decisions for the sole purpose of causing controversy (you must have known it would do exactly that) and screwing with people? I mean for crying out loud... Yeah, okay, so they make the player character start nude... Oh, what horror. The main issue I have is that it's completely unnessessary. And then they go and add updates which will change the size of player genitals before they even add freaking hair to their heads?? It's obvious they're doing this for the "LOL NEKKID" factor rather than any reasonable reason. You could have had an equally good, in fact, potentially more accessible, game had you not thrown in gratutious nudity for no reason. All it will do is attract immature idiots. Bravo. And then, oh, and this one REALLY irks me, they completely and permanently account-lock your randomized appearance? The reasoning for this is "we didn't want people to spend ages on character creation" WELL THEN JUST GIVE A SMALL NUMBER OF OPTIONS YOU TWATS! As someone who finds real value in character customization, I find this decision to be ridiculous at best, and downright malicious at worst. I mean holy crap you have literally no reason to do this. Supposedly it's to make sure all the races/sexes/and apparently genital sizes are equally represented??? Well, that's stupid because that's the ingame avatars, not your playerbase, and therefore matters far less. In fact, you might have caused a lot of people, like myself, to shy away from the game in fear of ending up with a character they don't like when character creation REALLY COULD HAVE BEEN A THING CONSIDERING YOU ALREADY HAVE MULTIPLE APPEARANCE PARAMETERS IN THE FUCKING GAME. Lots of people play games to escape. You just forced people to live with an ingame body they might not like, just adding to the issues they don't want to deal with because IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A FUCKING GAME YOU ASSHOLES. Literally everything they've said has made it out like it's for the best. WHY? Why??? This is not reality. Let people choose what their fake not real person looks like because WHY NOT?? NO! INSTEAD. GOTTA MAKE AS MANY PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE. GOTTA GET THOSE CLICKBAIT ARTICLES UP ON YOUR BAD DECISION! AFTER ALL! THERE IS NO SUCH THING! AS BAD! PUBLICITY!!!1! fucking morons. i mean seriously if you wanted to make something that makes some kind of edgy statement about gamers or how you're stuck with what you're given and do that with priority over game mechanics YOU SHOULD NOT BE MAKING A GAME. "It's realistic" BUT YOU KEEP YOUR APPEARANCE ON DEATH. IN REAL LIFE, PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY ARE KILLED. WHY NOT MAKE IT SO WHEN YOU DIE YOU CAN NEVER PLAY THE GAME AGAIN? THAT"S REALISTIKKKK?!?!?>!! seriously though holy crap why is this even a thing why did they have to make these two little decisions which turned away like at least 20% of people interested in the game because it is pretty plainly obvious that they actually care very little about the reasons they claim to care about, such as identifying people by appearance rather than name WELL THEN ADD F*CKING HAIR. THAT'S A BIG APPEARANCE FACTOR. but seriously though i could live with the random appearance if it wasn't account locked. permanently. WHAT KIND OF TWISTED FUCKING MOVE IS THAT?? "you paid us money for the game? TOO BAD YOU HAVE NO CONTROL IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT AND BUY IT AGAIN!!!" that is some grade a bullshit. like seriously why. why. there is no reason good enough to justify messing with your players in this way. i don't under-fucking-stand. these don't make sense from a business standpoint. these don't make sense from a gameplay standpoint (or well, it barely does.) they don't make sense from any fucking standpoint asides from stupid unnessessary social commentary in a game that has abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do with social commentary.

and this is why i will never play this game, much less buy it. i'll wait until a survival game that cares more about game mechanics than some kind of stupid barely-hidden message or some bullshit i really couldn't give less shits about comes around. goddamnit. i don't even know why it pisses me off so much. it just does.

Free game that's been out for a long time and is easily modable.  Island survival.  Known about it for years.  Dev is German indie designer.
