Go around shooting pirates and doing missions to get all races except the Argon to like you on the way to Getsu Fune. Get a Springblossom and max the speed to save the player sanity (note it cannot use Wraith Missiles so taking down bigger ships is alot harder). Use the cash to get Wraith Missiles and M/A-M Launchers for the Katana and boost the Terran rep. You can then make big money rigging the stock market for EBCGs. Use the capital to buy more shields and all the Energybolt Chainguns in the PTNI Headquarters stock exchange region and get to Grand Exchange and repeat. Pirate Argon TS ships for loot and early traders. Use that to explore to Scale Plate Green or to Sacred Relic. Sell them for credits and buy a Valkyrie and max the speed. Keep repeating your salvage runs into the War Sectors as those TS's do make rich pickings :) Trade is weak over there so keep local at first. Once you can open up the sectors West of your start, you can go South to get through without going through the war sectors. run and explore to get the better upgrades you will need.Īny TS you use on auto WILL go through the War Sectors and get blown up by the faction youj are least freindly with! You can be freinds with both factions and STILL GET BLOWN UP! Move to the TS and transfer anything you need from the Ketana.Īfter a few trades you should have made enough to get some upgrades and once your Ketana can run through the war sectors without getting blown up. When you are Bartering dock the Ketasna and the TS at the stations. if it is badly shot up and unlikly to make it take the sheild too. Remove guns and valuable cargo before letting it run. Meanwhile use it to store the Barter profitssss. If you are lucky it will come with a 25MJ shelid and guns that you can use on your Ketana later. So claim one of teh derelict Terran TS's in the nearest war sector. Some buyers wil lhappily swap your 1k value missile for 50k value in other goods.įor the above to work you need a freighter. Usually Imake a mad dash around filling up my hold with missiles and selling them in the various stations by Barter.

Follow the latest news in programming and PHP at. This article, " Review: 2 PHP tools rise above the rest," originally appeared at. But as the tools become more tightly integrated with the clouds, I'm looking forward to lighter-weight ways of wrangling the code. When you need to search through multiple files and track sophisticated data structures, the step-by-step debugging provided by an IDE becomes worth the effort to set up and maintain. The service also includes some nice hardwiring to the platform-as-a-service centers such as Heroku, Cloudbees, Cloud Foundry, and OpenShift, though the links aren't as simple as they could be.įor now, the IDEs promise to offer sophisticated development options for people who are creating big stacks of code. You need to push stuff in and out with Git. eXo's Cloud IDE lets you edit PHP files, although you can't really run them easily. It would not be much trouble to add a Web-based editor to these services, and I can see that coming down the road. Some of the most prominent examples are PHP Fog, Cloud Control, Orchestra, and Microsoft's Azure, although the list is growing longer and longer. More often than not, they lock out the developer and require all new code to be pushed to the server via Git or perhaps Subversion. There's a big explosion of cloud hosting tools that marry smart servers with load balancers and better instrumentation. The growth in this area promises to be in cloud deployment systems. PhpStorm, a simpler option, is a clean and polished tool that focuses on PHP. Zend Studio, from the creators of PHP, is best for developers already familiar with Eclipse. The ability to search through all of the files and deploy quickly are more useful when you have a lot of files associated with a complex application.Ī couple of the IDEs - Zend Studio and PhpStorm - seemed to bear this weight better than the others. These problems were all solvable, but I think you need to be working on a bigger PHP project before the overhead of an IDE becomes worth it. I've had much better luck starting up Java and Python stacks than getting PHP off the ground. Many Java IDEs compile and start up servers all within the same process. I began to wonder why the developers couldn't just compile PHP into the IDE itself, something they probably didn't want to do because they wanted to integrate with a running server. Only a few of the IDEs seemed to work out of the box. I often had to wade through several versions of the PHP server before I found one that would work with each tool. PHP is hardly new, yet I encountered a number of rough edges that really slowed down development. Part of my problem was that I encountered a surprising amount of chaos. You can often get by with just an editor and using print statements to debug variables. If you're writing a bit of glue logic between the database and a smart AJAX client, the extra features of an IDE aren't especially useful. While all of them are useful and worth the money to serious PHP developers, they're more than is needed for many basic PHP jobs. I often felt the same way when struggling with these tools. He was happier with a smart text editor than a full-fledged collection of tools under one roof. In essence, he didn't need all of the extra features from an IDE. Picking a PHP tool When I was working on this review, Stuart Herbert, a PHP developer, switched to Sublime Text, a more basic text editor, and wrote about the change, extolling the simplicity. There's a PyDev perspective now and plenty of other commands for other languages, but PHP seems to be receding. The PHP options are more like a bit of frosting - in case the Python or Rails folks need to edit a PHP file. The menus offer much more extensive options for people using those languages. There's no connection for debugging PHP.Īptana seems focused mainly on creating a tool for Python and Rails developers. There's some code assist and formatting features similar to PDT, but the built-in server doesn't handle PHP files. There are some PHP features included in Aptana Studio, but they're fairly basic. Appcelerator spent a bit more time on the cosmetics, and Aptana Studio starts with a trendy dark grey look. Aptana Studio is also a bundle of plug-ins designed to make it easier to get going and, perhaps, prompt you to adopt the tools of the parent company, Appcelerator. Aptana Studio Zend Studio is not the only example of a repackaged version of Eclipse. Tooners typically sit high and dry in elevated seats. Pontoons are decidedly the easiest to launch and beach. And, in most cases, you can launch in shallower water because your lower extremities do not extend so far down out of the bottom of your craft as with round tubes. That is because you need only sit down backwards to launch and rise forward to get back out. The main thing they have in common is that they are much easier to get in and out of the water than the round models. Most of today’s tubers are buying the open-ended craft known variously as U-boats, Vboats, kick boats and pontubes…according to their shapes. They are probably the most difficult to get in and out of the water so we will definitely devote some instruction to properly launching and beaching them. There are still a few “round boats” being sold and many still in use by those who haven’t upgraded. I’m sure that many of our episodes would have won big bucks on the funny videos shows. There were lots of us “donut-dunkers” who put on a pretty good show for onlookers. At some point in the launching process the tuber had to get down inside the round opening and waddle into the water while wearing fins. That is why you should be careful in your choice of launch sites and why you should follow the proper steps for getting in and out of the water.īefore the mid 1980s, virtually all float tubes were “donuts”…round craft consisting of covered truck tire inner tubes. It is during these times that the floatation fishermen is most at risk for injury and/or loss of or damage to equipment. Successful launching and beaching is not just a matter of getting in the water and going fishing. But, there can be a lot of variables in those processes depending upon the type of craft you are in and the conditions of your launching and beaching site. There is an old saying: “The longest journey begins with the first step.” Every fishing trip in your tube or toon begins with getting in the water and ends with getting out of the water. But, when shopping for a new craft fancy design alone should not be the only basis upon which you make your final decision. Today’s floatation anglers tend to prefer open kick boats, pontubes or pontoons with oars and/or electric motors. It is increasingly rare to see a round tube on the waters anymore. Manufacturers responded to the growing awareness and more knowledgeable demands of tubers and tooners and came up with a bajillion new designs. Later options included covers to fit the larger 22” truck tubes and would float anglers up to 300 pounds.ĭuring the last 20 years of the 20th century great strides were made in the floatation fishing world. These would float up to about two hundred and fifty pounds depending on the manufacturer and the cut of the cover. The early models were simply fabric covers sewn together in a “donut” shape that held a 20” truck tire tube. We could choose either a round tube…or a round tube. In the “olden days” we didn’t have many choices. Then there are the potential limitations you might have for storing or transporting whatever craft you choose. Equipment and design options might also influence your final decision. Other factors in the review process are mostly related to your personal angling preferences along with your physical abilities. Belly boats and pontoons are less costly than boats but can still take a big chunk out of a tight budget. For many newbies the budget thing is the single biggest hurdle to becoming properly outfitted. And, a good policy is to always try before you buy…when you can. This chapter highlights the most important considerations to review during your evaluation process. Before making any final decision you should get as much input as possible from knowledgeable tubers and tooners. Advice from others can be valuable but the ultimate choice needs to be based upon YOUR own wants, needs and abilities. The type, make and model of the craft you choose will be a personal thing. However, the branch ends were ridiculously more dangerous than the rest of the branch levels, so then the addendum to the optimal strategy is to clear all the rune levels except the final one, then proceed downwards to the Dungeon, THEN get the Lair runes when you're so buffed up with all the loot. You're vastly overestimating their danger even without Poison Resistance. This change was made because the optimal strategy 99% of the time was indeed, to enter the rune levels before Dungeon 14+. There is a staircase leading out of the dungeon here.Įh, are you trying to complain that the devs are "making the game SUPAH EASY and streamlined for casuals" or "the game is making it TOO HARD for me and only autists can enjoy it?"

Magic's always been the dev team's favourite though, overpowered and favoured in attention from the begining. You're either noisy/visible enough for a target to notice or you aren't. People sneaking around don't suddenly make way more noise at random intervals. Or it should take them a turn or two to finish waking up.Ĭonstant stealth checks don't make any sense anyways. If you fail the stealth check, it should happen before you're standing next to the hydra that can one shot you or in the middle of the room of 20 orc priests. Failed spells don't give the enemies free turns to beat the shit out of you while preventing you from ever casting spells on them again. Having stealth fail sometimes doesn't have to mean failure = fuck the player in the ass as hard as possible. It makes stealth stabbing pointless, since it's only safe versus targets that can't hurt you anyways. The retarded part about stealth currently is the fact that you get utterly fucked if something wakes up on the turn you walk next to it to stab it. If they made the checks harder but less frequent it would do the trick. Naturally, I'm not going to remodel my shrines without improving them and adding more juicy goodies for you. So far I've remodeled two shrines: Phantasy Star II and Alcahest. I'll tell you, though, the most important thing I need to do is make my RPG shrines mobile-friendly. I won't bore you with all the technical things that must be implemented. Nearly 80% of my site's visitors come from Google, so I need to take this seriously. Hence, they've been reducing my site's visibility in the Google search. The Internet has changed drastically since then.įor some time now, Google has been 'punishing' me for being too old and not compliant with modern standards. I designed most of my RPG shrines in the early and mid-2000s. I know you guys find my old shrines nostalgic, but they need to go. “Shrines 2.0” are here! I've slowly started remodeling & improving my RPG shrines. Experience Sega Saturn emulation the way it was meant to be!

Katolight systems provide backup power for the Beijing newspaper in China and Telesat-Satellite Communications in Macau. or Canada, but there have been some impressive foreign sales. The company produces gensets ranging from 5-kilowatt (big enough to run your furnace and keep a few lights on) to 2,000-kilowatt (big enough to run a small factory). Steel-paneled, sound-insulated cabinets are built around some of the generator sets, known in the industry as “gensets.” (Some of the engines have enough muscle to power trucks or four-wheel-drive tractors.) Company technicians build electronic controls and switching gears for the matched units to create a unified system that’s ready to be wired into a customer’s site. Marathon Electric, Wausau, Wisc., manufactures nearly all the generators, which Katolight connects to engines made by Cummins, Detroit Diesel, General Motors, John Deere, Mitsubishi and Volvo. Katolight creates emergency power generation systems, matching various engines with generators, then adding the necessary wiring and controls. “Y2K made a lot of people think about the possibility of losing power,” Jacobson said. And there’s an emerging residential market as homeowners begin to fret about the dependability of their electric utility. Farms have “critical needs for power,” Jacobson said, especially if they have dairy herds or confinement buildings for hogs or poultry. Katolight’s agricultural division accounts for another 25 percent. Such sales bring in 70 percent of Katolight’s $50 million in annual revenues. These customers include hospitals, nursing homes, apartment complexes with elevators and emergency lighting, data processing centers, telecommunications companies, wastewater treatment plants and other industries. Jacobson heads Mankato’s Katolight Corp., which supplies emergency power generation systems to customers who must continue operating despite rolling blackouts or ice storms. Instead, he discovered life (and opportunities) outside the realm of space.įor 24 years, he’s helped provide peace of mind to people whose feet are rooted firmly on earth, not in the stratosphere. Despite his training as an aeronautical engineer, Lyle Jacobson never designed soaring rockets or jet aircraft for a living. |
