I think I'm misunderstanding it too... Did the SU folks manage to buy back their heads somehow, but not a real body to attach them to? Or is the rig just the "shelf" for the brain, and all the Solaris are like that? Why do the kids get to keep their heads on top of their bodies? I didn't have a good idea of what was going on even before seeing this album, and I definitely don't now. :confused:

i think the idea is basically that if a person gets super far deep in debt and is more or less lined up to be 'punished' their head is removed from the body entirely and pretty much just stuck in a closet for a time. i assume the kids still have their own on top because their body isn't developed enough to feasibly support all the weird augs. my idea is that in order to survive all the harsh work conditions they have to go further and further down the rabbit hole which eventually leads to 'maybe head would be safer if kept in chest' which is why Literally Everyone is like that. i could be wrong, though, since it's a bit vague.

Some Fortuna peeps have dialogue that back up the later half of that, that they willingly get those augs in order to work in Venus' environment. Whether or not this happened before or after the debt slavery is up in the air.

Looks like this: https://semlar.com/zawcalc/9410

I personally tend to run a little lighter on crit since I prefer a blood rush/condition overload hybrid build, and would either go full speed with a Seekalla grip or full damage with Shtung.

It really depends on the weapon type/stance. A heavy blade Zaw using Shtung can still be faster than any normal heavy blade.

Most of the time, though? Seekalla all the way, for sure.

Yup thats the one. As for modding:



With a gladiator mod frame this reaches disgusting levels very quickly, throwing out 4 then 5 and 6 digit damage numbers with Valkyr and is essentially immortal.

My last 3 unlocks have all been the "Kill 3 flying condrocs" one. Its more time consuming to get onto plains, and the one spot where they are, than actually doing it.

Speaking of Second Dream, does anyone actually use operator mode for anything? I miss having the previous focus power. I forget the name, but your frame floats a bit and fires off an energy beam. That was awesome.

When fully kitted out they can hold their own in sorties and arbitrations just fine. (I greatly recommend the T4 scaffold, ho drat it does a lot of damage)

If by "bam, get a 1/1/1 that is 10x stronger" you mean "go do a bunch of fishing so you can craft Murkray bait so you can go do *more* fishing so that you can get Murkray livers that are somehow used in the construction of a magical laser gauntlet", sure.

Fishing is chill and murkray is pretty easy to nab.

Also everytime I go to the drugstore I see fish oil supplements so I'm assuming its related to unlocking psychic potential

Have a reasonable amount of status chance (50% here isn't amazing, but it's totally fine for a hybrid build) and a decent spread of damage types, then hit stuff.
