royalmurder7mthReplied to EthanStormSongThere was a whole paragraph before about the impact of a changed cockpit using an empirical study. If Velten is concerned about any sort of placebo effect, the right thing to do is to test it again with different pilots, not accuse him of lying. And anyway, it’s not lying to tell the pilots “We made some changes to the cockpit that should help”, and that’s all they need to know.
Several minutes later, the screen disappeared and Velten came back into clear view. Her wrinkled lips pursed with discontent. "The colonel, in her eminent wisdom, has decided that the stakes are too high. She has weighed the extra work your proposal demands and the downsides to lying to our own mech pilots against the benefits that it might bring."- royalmurder7mthCommented
10 million credits for a lavish dinner for lots then a hundred people? Why is the republic credit so inflated? What can you even get with one credit lol
For a mech regiment deep in debt, they sure held little back for this occasion. Ves recognized several exclusive dishes that must have cost a lot of credits to acquire. The cloud rice from Cloudy Curtain, the luminescent blue mushrooms from Bentheim, the finest red wines from Rittersberg and the aeliotonoc whale meat imported from Moira's Paradise served to everyone present could have afforded half an Inheritor mech. - royalmurder7mthCommented
What other ships? The Wolf Mother has repeatedly been touted as the only ship in the Vandals…
They didn't have to wait for long for their guests to arrive. A dozen mechs along with two sturdy military-grade shuttles flowed in from the hangar doors. They carefully settled down in the hangar set aside for them. The Vandal mechs that used to occupy this space had been transferred to another ship in the fleet. - royalmurder7mthCommented
It’s a 20-year-old design; isn’t half the cost reduction just going to be technological obsolescence?
"That's not exactly right. It's true that we haven't been able to increase the Inheritor's performance parameters, but we did manage to shave off ten percent of its manufacturing cost in that time. Most of our efforts are spent on achieving as much cost savings as possible as opposed to actually improving the design in battle." - royalmurder7mthReplied to Novel_Addict_98
If this was the only time he’d called her that, maybe. But he’s been adding “Ma’am” to the end of all his speech this scene, so you’re absolutely reaching lol
"If that is what you think, ma'am." - royalmurder8mthReplied to shin_wastaken
The homing effect kind of justifies it - he’s getting 240% damage from one skill, possibly spread among multiple enemies. It’s quite strong.
Cooldown: 60 seconds - royalmurder8mthReplied to William_Balchen
You don’t know for a fact they stay dead, though. As the guy above said, respawn times could be a thing, and his ability simply gives him an extra respawn per cycle
He then made one round around the workshop to check on the locks, making sure he'd have no more surprises for the night. He then returned to his room. He replaced the damaged bolster and pillow and then laid on the bed. He looked at his radar one more time to make sure that there were no nearby menaces before allowing his eyes to close and letting fatigue overcome his body. - royalmurder8mthCommented
Didn’t even check how much it would cost to upgrade the sword again before using that ore. If it only needed one, it would have been smart to keep the last ore for when the durability grows lower…
Jack looked at his last remaining iron ore. He decided to use it to craft a whetstone using the recipe. The process was the same as upgrading weapons. He just needed to perform a few simple hammerings in certain sequences and timings. But this time instead of hammering on the weapon, he was hammering on the iron ore. And it consumed another 5 of his copper coins. - royalmurder8mthCommented
In role playing game games. Ugh
"Or maybe we are just not strong enough to be allowed out. We should focus on increasing our strength, that's the main rule in RPG games, right? We follow that rule, we will be just fine." - royalmurder8mthReplied to T_x
Last time he did a bunch of design work away from the system, it rewarded him for his efforts once he checked it, so I would imagine it counts. It’s still designing mechs, after all.
Well, it wasn't as if he'd be able to design a mech while he served in the Mech Corps. "I'll think about it later." - royalmurder8mthCommented
Would have made a lot more sense to get some business management study books, or enterprise law, just before inaugurating a company…
After casually downloading several mathematics books from the digital library, he put on his study headset and slept. - royalmurder8mthReplied to ThanatosGreekGod
After reading theirs response to his adamant acceptance, I think you’re exactly on the money, here
The algorithm money, plus the loopholes in Huawei's system, a total of 300 million, how about it?" - royalmurder8mthReplied to SaxonViolence
I’m sure they could. Go write it and make it happen 🥳
He placed the breakfast on the table and inserted the straw into the soy milk. - royalmurder8mthReplied to damfn
He specified in this chapter that it was circling around them.
A distance of over 20 kilometers could be covered by a drone in less than two minutes. - royalmurder2yrReplied to draculemorningstar
You obviously do want to wash it - but mostly not with water. They’re iron pans, and can rust. Scrub burned on food off with a wooden spoon, but if you do need to wash it out, dry it by leaving it over a low heat
"Sure, why not? I would like to personally see the store myself too. Now, let's eat, Mom and Dad won't be back home so early today." Yue Wen placed the wok in the kitchen sink and sat down with Yue Han as he continued his story about Boss Jin. - royalmurder2yrCommented
“Do you know how rare it is to find a Chinese girl with green eyes?!”
But he also made his [ Eye Color ] Green, because why not? - royalmurder2yrReplied to Lazy_Cat_Sunny
Every question is a statement? The lift in intonation at the end makes a difference? I hate you? You were like a brother to me? I have brought peace and security to my new empire?
"Come on, you should be better than this?" Nate said, the truth was Nate was purposely shifting the metal into a pole rather than a sword, this way the match would last longer. - royalmurder2yrReplied to Dark_Shad0w
On the contrary; he’s defining the limits of his abilities. This is the rare ocurrence of planning and foresight coming together.
Quinn then quickly stepped back a few steps and proceeded to use his blood bank skill. - royalmurder2yrCommented
But they were at a café last night... 🙈
When he finally arrived, the VR room was emptier than it was yesterday, most likely because it was early in the morning and not a lot of students had woken up yet. - royalmurder3yrCommented
A jagged rapier? That kind of defeats the purpose of using a rapier instead of a cutting sword...
The woman standing next to Peter had long silver hair that went down to her waist. On her head, she was wearing a beret and be her side was her trusty rapier sword that was jagged and looked to be made from a long beast bone.
