You don't appear to have lots of missions and lots of followers (see trait which increase the number of Tiger monks by only 2), there's this fatigue alluded which prevents followers from doing 2 missions per day, and you don't have buildings to manage (bodyguard is baked in, other stuff is in...

Hmmm, Class Order Halls seem to be more or less mandatory:How the Legion Class Order Hall Campaign Works - Wowhead News Apparently, you unlock your other specs artefacts from there. And your third artefact relic slot... Not a problem for me (I had no problem with the garrison except for the...

SpaceX is where NASA engineers go when they don't want to deal with the insanity that is their budget dictated by the Senate.

You're thinking of stellar blackholes (i.e. black holes created from stars). Those are galactic black holes, whose formation is still relatively mysterious, but who almost certainly appear along their galaxies, or maybe before. Fun bit: The black hole Gargantua in Interstellar is one such...

There doesn't seem to be any building and similar stuff to set and maintain, the only thing I've seen mentioned that's upgradable is the Artifact forge. Seem it's more of a location where you have a bunch of followers hanging around (and it's a shared space, not a personal instance), and you...

Same experience here. Although by PoP I was no longer on Tunare but playing on Ubisoft-run Sebilis, there wasn't any options to get group-level flags beyond the Valor flag in Justice. Everything else? Raid. Group shortcut opened later, but you still had to do the raids, because the elemental...

... based on book 3. I'll take the analysis of the whole 5 books before admitting Jon's defeat...

From what you hear on the patch notes and CM posts, they should have locked down more or less "how" they want those classes to play. They're going to tweak the numbers, but not the dynamics. (which is why the "June 30" sounds possible. Mildly surprising, but possible)

My gaming mag has a weird rumor about the expansion hitting the shelves on June 30. They also implied the need for a full salt shaker drawing along with the info, but still. Anyone heard that one somewhere?

As people surmised, there's probably all kind of assumptions hard-coded (and undocumented) in the game. You could probably get away with not touching any of the PvP-related stuff. Meaning you could still only attack the opposite faction in pvp, the tower/etc. stuff would work the same, and...

Spoiler: he didn't. That sounds about right. The one thing he isn't is Lex Luthor.

FTFY There's two parts to that movie. The Batman vs Superman courtesy of Luthor, which more or less stands on its own (with a few bad points), and THEN, you have all the added parts that have make close to no sense, and they all revolve around the future Justice League movie. The whole Wonder...

The intro to Batman is ok. You all know his origin in detail, what it does establishes the tone ofthisBatman in a couple minutes and the rest of the origin story is shoved under the rug. The into of the Justice League is completely wrong. When you realize that you could entirely cut the...

Because that works? The big problem if you have multiple persons working on the same zone at the same time is that you have to spend quite a lot of time stitching the entire zone back together. Every time you rework a bit of the zone (and it usually happens a few times), you have to spend a lot...

Nope, slightly different warpage. Alcubierre's works by warping space-timearoundyour ship, not inside your drive, and having the local flat space-time "slide" along that warp. That's why it can go FTL, while this gravity drive can't. Of course, Alcubierre's drive has good and strong math...

Well, in my wild-ass imagination, the space-time inside of the resonant cavity gets warped (curved), and thus, because classic relativistic gravity is basically acceleration based on space-time curvature, you get some acceleration of the mass in that warp. If the warp is symmetric, but the...

Given that nobody has any idea how the emDrive can work, why wouldn't it work by warping spacetime asymetrically and thus generating some acceleration (which, in my absolutely layman opinion, sounds mildly less impossible than providing action without reaction). But yea, at the moment, it's...

The real question isn't whether it's more valuable in orbit than on earth, it's that whether it's cheaper from orbit than on earth. It's a classic import question: if producing at point A and shipping it here is cheaper than producing at point B and shipping it there, then you produce at A...

I'd rather have the Epstein fusion drive from The Expanse, but I'll settle for a low impulse, zero-mass one.

Also, if you have the rep with the Klaxxi, you can purchase an item that makes every dig site in Pandaria spawn as Klaxxi for 24h (which includes a reroll all sites once), which means they'll all be popping over two zones close to each other. If you really want to grind crates, that's the way to...

They purchased a company that had lame horses (EQN/EQL) attached, cleaned it so it should be more profitable now, and it will be priced higher. Usual maneuver from investment funds. Those companies make the real bucks by reselling at profit (or sometimes splitting up the company and selling the...

Nope. You'll get a different ring next time, but any mission that has spawned remains as it is. It only checks what rings you have when it spawns. (saw this with the Black Market contract; I got a second contract to pop on one of my chars before I could complete the quest, and the mission...

All that xxxxverse stuff made me realize I need to recommend a series called The Emberverse, by S.M.Stirling. It started as a pair of trilogies, and, well, the guys at Roc started to throw lots of zeroes on large checks in front of him, so he kept writing more. Started writing that series in...

So basically: - The Old Gods are trying to corrupt and destroy Azeroth to make an incarnate Void Lord - Sargeras wants to destroy Azeroth to avoid the above - And if we defeat both of the above and let the Last Titan be born, well, Azeroth dies. Good set of choices here

Just saw that. I finally pre-ordered the fall Safehold book and amazon added the new Honorverse book immediately to the suggestions. And I was pretty excited because it had no co-author, meaning main story line, not the Eric Flint collaboration (the Crown of Slaves spin-off). Yay!

It's probably cheaper to mine the asteroid in place and ship the refined products to earth. Less mass to move around = cheaper rocketry, and you get less risk of splashing your target by error as a bonus.

Mass proportional and inverse square. ( Force = G . m . M / d^2 ) An average human would weight 80kg, Earth is 5.972 ? 10^24 kg, so the gravitational pull of a human on another human - if they were standing apart as much as center of earth to surface - would be around 1.3 x 10^-23 that of...

I guess we have a different definition of debunking. When I said debunked, I'm not talking about "skeptics say it's impossible". I'm talking about multiple scientists pointing out methodology flaws, alternate and more plausible explanations for minuscule effects, the lack of demonstration that...

Well, you've got claims, it fails the "common science test", it fails to pass peer review after more than 12 years of experiments, and most scientists that read the papers all pointed the same errors and probable cause. I guess that counts as a thorough debunking of said claims. Looks like...

The shiny spots are apparently salt deposits from upwellings of ice that sublimated when exposed to vacuum and solar light.

Mostly when the last round of "Space drive! Reactionless rocket!" news made the rounds of the sensationalist papers. At the time, no paper had ever survived peer review. Notably, the so-called "test with vacuum damping" didn't actually take place in a strong vacuum, and other gross...

This "EM Drive" was thoroughly debunked, and the trust obtained appear to be entirely due to thermal pressure (i.e. infrared from the EM heating). It's basically an extremely weak version of laser-heated propellers (which, themselves, are also nearly SFnal because you'd get anything to melt...

16? Try more like 25 plus short stories collections and novellas It's another series where the character ended up devouring the series. I'll try to avoid spoilage, except for the fact that she doesn't die. His model was Admiral Nelson, and he intended her to die at around fourth book or so in...

Yup. You don't need to build a single building beyond the original barracks, but you'll need to build a shipyard to unlock Tanaan and 690 Baleful gear, hence a level 3 garrison. You just have to wait until you have enough garrison resources and money. It's not entirely mandatory, you can...

That. The dungeons aren't changed from what they are (the mobs have the same level, hp, dps, etc. if you enter in timewalking or normally), but you are scaled down to the appropriate era. So, while you usually overgear the X.0 dungeons, the late X.3 ones have you "moderately geared".

Guaranteed drop, even in LFR. Unless you did it with another char on the account. (EDIT: need to loot the reaver yourself, I think you don't get it auto-delivered even with personal loot)

Truth. You don't need speedup, even if you do shipyard once a day. Also, I'm almost certain that XP and chest missions are separate; I've tried clearing XP missions to see if that forced a faster respawn, and it doesn't seem to. The only time I have more than 2-3 chests up (not including...

/ignore (raid lead has an addon; if you pop out this mount, you get insta-kicked)

The way I did it was having two different ship models levelling at the same time. It helps because you get missions that can be done by one but not the other, and you can level both in parallel. Reroll the carriers whenever you don't have a carrier leveling. Those things are a pain to level.

Side note: there's sometimes a small bug that has the plans showing up as locked (red) if you unlocked them with a different character. You can still purchase them, and if you leave and return the shipyard area, they turn back into normal.
