| 03:17 | <@Reiv> | Vornicus: I have an interesting math problem if you want to see it. |
| 03:17 | <@Reiv> | ... oh, excuse me, where are my manners |
| 03:17 | <~Vornicus> | ? |
| 03:17 | <@Reiv> | HEY VORN |
| 03:17 | <~Vornicus> | hee |
| 03:17 | <@Reiv> | There, that's better~ |
| 03:17 | <@Reiv> | A new mechanic is being introduced into our dear toy system known as X-wing. |
| 03:17 | <@Reiv> | My intuition informs me that it is Bonkers, but I would like confirmation. |
| 03:18 | <@Reiv> | So, the usual deal: d8s, attacks hit on 4 sides, defense hits on 3, both can be +2 sides if you spend a focus token |
| 03:18 | <@Reiv> | *3 sides |
| 03:19 | <@Reiv> | They're releasing a pilot who can spend a focus token in order to prevent the enemy from modifying their defensive dice. |
| 03:19 | <@Reiv> | So... instead of changing their <eye> to <hit>, they can spend it to prevent the opponent changing their <eye> to <dodge> |
| 03:21 | <@Reiv> | ... wait |
| 03:21 | <@Reiv> | no, I'm an idiot |
| 03:21 | <@Reiv> | Nevermind me, the ability is great, but a recent change nerfs it drastically. For the best, I suspect. |
| 03:22 | <@Reiv> | I was expecting that result to be huge - you basicalyl get to modify /both/ sets of dice with the one token, so roll and see which way benefits you most - but no, the attacker now rolls, then modifies, and /then/ the defender rolls, and modifies |
| 03:22 | <@Reiv> | So you have to spend the focus token before you see your opponents roll. |
| 03:22 | <@Reiv> | That's not as bad as I'd feared. |
| 03:22 | <@Reiv> | Carry on! |
| 03:22 | <@Reiv> | SORRY VORN |
| 03:23 | <~Vornicus> | pff |
| 03:26 | <@Reiv> | One can't run Math on decisions quite as fluid as "Do I spend this token, or save it to debuff /their/ token" stuff |
| 03:27 | <@Reiv> | No, it's a counter to token-stacks and super-tough opponents, but it's not quite the "My attacks are waaay more accurate because if I roll well, I just nerf yours" moments |
| 03:30 | <~Vornicus> | i mean there is gametheory |
| 03:31 | <~Vornicus> | asking when it's favorable to use the focus token to do this |
| 03:35 | <@Reiv> | That is indeed interesting |
| 03:36 | <@Reiv> | Assume three dice on the attack, and, uh, 2 or 3 on the defense |
| 03:36 | <@Reiv> | (1 die is uninteresting, 4 is... rare, but possibly worth knowing about just in case) |
| 03:37 | <@Reiv> | Though IIRC I believe Talonbane Cobra is now capable of getting up to 8 dice at maximum range, with a focus token to defend and a blank-to-evade capability, but I'm pretty certain that one just boils down to "Use the token-nerf, you idiot"~ |
| 03:39 | <@Reiv> | (Talonbane Cobra: Double range modifiers, letting his +1 defense dice become +2, for a total of 4 at range 3. This is not unusual. What *is* unusual is that he is *also* capable of equipping a Stealth Device for +1 defense dice. And a Cloaking Device for +2 dice. And can hide behind a rock for +1 dice. And can, as of next aces pack, then *also* equ |
| 03:39 | <@Reiv> | ip Engine Upgrade, providing the pre-requisites for Autothrusters... which turns a blank to an evade at range 3.) |
| 03:39 | <@Reiv> | (This requires 3 modification slots. When they decided they wanted to fix his base hull, they sure as heck didn't mess about.) |

| 19:03 | <&jeroud> | Hello. |
| 19:04 | <&jeroud> | Please tell me other people have had better experiences with technology than I have in the past week or so. |
| 19:05 | <~Vornicus> | I've had no particular issues, which I suspect is enough |
| 19:06 | <&jeroud> | Excellent. |
| 19:06 | <&jeroud> | I'm glad it's just me. |
| 19:07 | <@Tamber> | It all starts to go down-hill when you get that electrickery stuff involved. |
| 19:12 | <@ErikMesoy> | The technology has been fine, it's the people I've struggled with. |
| 19:15 | < Jessikat> | my tech has been fine |
| 19:15 | < Jessikat> | I've just lost a load of floppy disks |
| 19:15 | < Jessikat> | ah well |
| 19:19 | <&jeroud> | Jessikat: Do you have any floppy disk drives? |
| 19:42 | < Jessikat> | I do... somewhere |
| 19:49 | <&[R]> | Were they even readable/ |
| 20:22 | <&[R]> | OMG fucking Windows |
| 20:23 | <&[R]> | Yes. I absolutely wanted you to start OneDrive after I had closed it. I also wanted you to use OneDrive to sync 3GB of data over my tethered mobile I had giving you literally all weekend on a landline to handle. |
| 20:26 | <&jeroud> | [R]: I spent three hours downloading 4.3GB of Windows 10 VM image because the RDP client in the Windows 7 VM image I already have is doesn't work with the thing I need to RDP to. |
| 20:27 | <&[R]> | Right, but I shutdown OneDrive to stop the syncing |
| 20:27 | <&[R]> | Windows started it right up again |
| 20:30 | <&jeroud> | Yeah, it does that. |
| 20:31 | <&jeroud> | I had to uninstall three things to free up enough disk space to download and extract the VM image. |
| 20:31 | <&jeroud> | Then I had to pack everything up and go to band practice. |
