  Legendary Base Salvage/Enhancement Redux
Posted by: Ransan - 05-04-2010, 04:54 AM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (25)

Okay,
Atl mentioned something about redoing The Legendary's Salvage and Enhancement Racks to even them out.
I did a little Tabulation of my own and totalled up the following in the base currently:

  • Salvage Racks - 5 bins - 150 slots (2 of these are costume racks, making 90 available for Invention Salvage)
  • Enhancement Tables - 9 Tables - 900 slots
  • Inspiration Collectors - 2 Collectors - 200 slots
  • Vaults - 2 Vaults (These do count toward storage max.)
In my honest opinion, the amount of Salvage and Enhancement Bins need to be reversed, giving us 500 Enhancement slots, and 270 Salvage slots....at the very least.
What I am willing to do is sell all SOs level 50 and under, and compress the Enchancement Bins as far as possible with only 51+ Enhancements and all IOs. I'm willing to put this money aside as a "slush fund" to go for either base prestige or outfitting of newbie Legendaries, group choice.
Anyone have any objections to this plan?

  On the off-chance anybody doesn't yet own a copy of "Magic Users Club"...
Posted by: robkelk - 05-04-2010, 03:19 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (16)

... it's currently http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827 ... 9056/4/0/0]on sale at Right Stuf for less than half-price.

I highly recommend this series. It's directed by Junichi Sato, who worked on this series after the first season of Sailor Moon but before Princess Tutu. It's got an excellent dub. None of the characters are idiots. (Well, not complete idiots.) And there's enough fanservice to keep the teenagers interested, and enough subtext to keep the grown-ups interested.

So if you don't already have a copy, go buy one while it's inexpensive. (Although they're currently out of stock, so you'll have to wait a few days for your copy.) You can thank me later.

  Um OH&S gone mad?
Posted by: Rod.H - 05-02-2010, 01:41 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (7)

I've noticed during my deadtree reading of Jeremy Clarkson's collected Sunday Times (or is that Telegraph?) editorials he has a regular beef with OH&S types and Political Correctness commissionars and how they affect the filming of one of the greatest TV shows on the tubes: Top Gear; and his annual car review & other stuff video. I find myself agreeing with his views that most of it is just a way to both make a job for someone and to stop people from doing anything productive.

I certainly begin thinking down those lines when I get an email from Amazon sprewking stuff, especially when it's stuff that lets you setup a a basic cleanroom for a Quarian in your own home. Yes, I can see a point of it, set it up right and you can make as much dust as you want while you enlarge an in-use kitchen. But to mandate it just in case you disturb some lead-based paint.

Yes, lead is toxic but I'm more concerned about mercury & asbestos as one form of mercury will kill you and asbestos has a high probability of killing you in future which mercury can also do.

Yet neither of those has lead's infamy of being one of the causes for the fall of the Roman Empire.

  Thoughts for DSKS: Hit-Girl
Posted by: paladindythe - 05-02-2010, 04:18 AM - Forum: Hangar 13 - Replies (29)

I decided to spin this thread off, to be kind to others ;P
I was thinking about how to introduce Hit-Girl, and quickly realized that she needs to establish her "Holy Shit Quotient" early.  I can't imagine anything better than single-handedly taking on a group of youma (since Zeke took on one).  Drawing a bit of inspiration from the movie, I had a scene polayed through my head the battlefield being clouded up by something and our heroes coming by the youma one by one, their defeated crumbling forms, until eventually they find Hit-Girl taking out the last couple in a particularly (over-the-top) gruesome fashion.
In short, I'm thinking that whomever sees the carnage (with the possible exception of Sousuke) has to at least think 'holy shit' upon seeing the wreckage.
