bongo still a shit

xth for the cutest.

So what ships are we getting in the event?

>Iowa
>friendly installation
>Pola?
>gumo?
>duck?

I'm ready for the event.

How many buckets are needed for easy?

>>15095657
>>15095721
Nice /a/utism

>>15095756
Akitsu Maru's sister, no new Ducky.

>>15095756
>USN DD?

>>15095756
An American DD I presume.

>>15095808
2420

xth for cutekaze

>>15095808
That depends. How bad are you?

>>15095808
500.

Haifuri collaboration when?

>>15095756
I can see another USN ship being a thing

>>15095915
I don't even give a fuck about Kancolle but if we get an American oppai loli DD I can beat off to I will personally mail money to Kadokawa.

Criminally underrated girl, it's sad she has few fans.

>>15096078
Stop trying to fit in. Fuck off.

>>15096106
Yuugumo class rarity pretty much make them overshadowed by more common DD class like Shiratsuyu, Kagerou the common one, DesDiv6 even Fubuki since the anime airing.

>>15096127
I don't think he is trying to fit in.

>>15096179
If only they got Kai Ni.
>>15096106
I know what you mean. I too love the gumos.

>>15095638
>GAjOfoutg5s,
>still NO update to arcade news

>>15096179

Gumos are overshadowed by the other DD classes because they have shitty personalities.

>just did a 3号 upgrade
>quest wasn't selected

>>15096238
>upgrade +8 3gou to +9
>I actually upgraded the fodder to +1
You're alright.

>>15096195
What is missing?

>>15096413
Selected outlets to be announced today.

>>15096179
Because no ka ni, duh

>>15096413
>>15096418
Also get rid of that stupid comma.

>>15096216
All girls have shitty personalities in that case.

Is this for sale literally anywhere? I can't find it on yahoo auctions

I hope Kawakaze k2 is really useful because I'm wasting so much time power grinding her.

Ready for their Kai Nis.

>>15096216
Nah, it's rarity + stats.

>>15096466
You are leveling other girls at the same time though, so I wouldn't really call it a waste.

Anyone have that image of smug Maya touching her chin?

>>15096472

Reminder that Flatgumo and Fujogumo are stronger than Ushio K2.

>>15096473
I'm not using 4-3 because I want to conserve buckets.

>>15096394
wat

>>15096078
>small c
>oppai loli
Anon pls

>>15096466
There's no way she won't be really useful m8

>>15096480
I'm using 4-3 and using no buckets. I just swap out units that get too hurt. If Kawakaze gets hit hard, then I just switch to something else until she's repaired.

>>15096480
>using buckets on cheap efficient leveling maps
oh my god my sides
if you were going to use buckets anyways why don't you just go to 5-4?

>>15096480
If you're the retard using 1-5 with fodder then blame yourself for using a map with such shit exp.

>>15096479
It still doesn't make sense, not to mention Kazagumo has 1 more AA for seemingly no reason.

What the fuck? How do I do the Souryuu 4-3 quest? I lost count on my sorties trying to get to boss. I have 2CV 2DD 2CA. Is it pure RNG and should I just keep on banging my head to the wall?

when will abyssals be friendly

>>15096479
They're also stronger than Mutsuki Kai Nis! Whoa!

Still doesn't mean their stats are good.

>>15096516
You keep trying, enjoy the bauxite.

>>15096524
>>15096516
I lost like 100 bauxite in total
including the 900 you get from the quest
it's the second worst quest in the game after all

>>15096516
You do the Souryuu 4-3 quest together with the marriage quest :^)

Seriously though it is random as fuck. There're only two real options: 2 CA or 1 BB 1 CAV. I daresay it's even worse than Kirishima 5-1 quest.

>>15096536
>Kirishima 5-1 quest.
I don't remember there being a Kirishima 5-1 quest, just a Haruna, Nishimura, Mikawa, and Akatsuki quest.

>>15096536
>Kirishima 5-1

Is that a new quest?

>>15096518
Still better than the majority of the biggest class in the game.

The queen is back
We kai san nao

>>15096557
I guess Conishi beat bob with the 3rd anniversary art timing.

>>15096516
Double check that one (or both) of your CAs aren't actually a CAV. Other than that, pure RNG.

>>15096557
>ears hidden
No, she's not.

>>15096552
>>15096553
The name for the 2 BB 1 CL 3 DD quest depends on whichever flagship you cleared it with, if you've already cleared it. Or if you haven't cleared it yet, it either depends on whichever flagship you used the most, or the flagship you're currently using.

>>15096192
Since Yuugumo took on USS destroyer and mutual killed each other, she should get a Kai Ni one day.

>>15096578

>every ship who ever sank a USN ship deserves a K2

Why was the IJN so pathetic?

>>15096570
Who decided that? Some irrelevant guy on /jp/?

>>15096585
I call it Akatsuki quest because it was released with Akatsuki kai 2. It only makes sense to call it that.

>>15096585
He's the guy who starts an argument whenever someone calls it the Akatsuki 5-1 quest.

Akat5uk1
Kiri5h1ma

What else do we have?

>>15096581
>every ship who ever sank a USN ship deserves a K2
Primitive fire control systems. If they obtained and applied better radar from the germans then their already good torpedoes would have been a much more fearsome weapon.
Ducky gun with proper FCS and a better service life would have been a fearsome thing as well.
USA! USA! USA! USA!

Nothing like steel farming on 3-2.

>>15096600

>>15096600
Who in the world needs to farm steel? Scrap some ships and let it rain.

>>15096565
I can see an ear right there, are you blind?

>>15096614
>1 (one) sub

>>15096614
>not based Ro-chan

Most resources I've had ever

>>15096621
>Ro
Disgusting.

>>15096621
Wasn't playing when she was a reward and her drop rates were too shit compared to every other ship I needed. Getting her next event assuming she drops.

>>15096625

>that steel imbalance

stop running TE and do 2/5/21

>>15096634
TE is love, TE is life. But seriously, he could just be sortieing a lot (hence the low fuel/ammo) with low repair cost ships.

>>15096565
You blind?
What is the thing next to her 3years sign? Is that not a ear?

>>15096634
You'll end up with more steel from TE weekly anyways

>>15096614
i can see kamchatka peninsula on this map

>>15096078
>>15095915
Wouldn't an American DD have a flat chest due to the flush deck?

>>15096718
No, an american DD will have whatever the artist feels like drawing.

How many 3gou are enough before I start keeping duplicates as fodder? I got 7 of them right now, and 6 of them are upgraded.

>>15096733
Yes

>>15096718
only american dd up to tier 4 were flush deckers... wait, i mean only early american dd were flush decks, caldwell, wickes, clemson, a few of those served during ww2 as is and also as town-class british dd being given to the great britain and refitted

more modern dd weren't flush deckers

>>15096733
8 minimum.

>>15096616
3-2 is good for that though. you get bongos while grinding and scrap them for lots of steel.

How much fuel can you get in one day if you went full autist?

>>15096826
A lot.

>>15096826
5k+, probably more with daihatsu.

>>15096734
>>15096827
What the fuck is the point of you answering like this? I can understand not wanting to help newfags but fuck's sake, not saying anything is an actual option available to you.

>>15096826
12k I think is the near max, on first day of the week with Orel spamming.

>>15096741
Fletcher-class had a flush deck.

>>15096836
Stupid questions deserve stupid replies. Now fuck off, newfag.

>tfw selectable BGM during battles never

How does one level up Akitsumaru? PVP?

>>15096981
You don't.

>>15096981
I threw her into my 4-2 questfest, too. 40->72 in a couple weeks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6i3dCEkOcE

Why is C U T E so Taigei?

>>15097009
delet this

>>15097009

Shigure's really gotten fat lately.

>>15097029
She got kicked out of the cool kids' club when Katsumi got her 改二（乙）, what would you expect?

I still like both her fat and non-fat versions equally though.

Finally got my 4th box radar. Still way behind, but at least they're all at plus 1...

>>15097054
Shigure is more useful than Bitchsumi.

>>15097009
Same voice talent as Rom, it's only natural

>>15097066
Maybe if you're a kuso.

>>15097066
Except Shigure's only higher stats are torp (by 1) and luck.

>>15097075
>>15097084

Luck matters. I don't have to remind you about E-3 last event all the time.

>>15097084
>using K2B mode

????

>tfw don't put any planes on my ships
>tfw single-zuiun fleets in pvp still give me AS+
neat

>>15097116
Here's your (you). Hope this is your biggest accomplishment in your whole life.

>>15097095
If only there was a way of increasing luck. If only.

>>15097156
fucking wrecked

>>15096839
btw

one of the original four stackers flush deckers, clemson-class uss stewart was captured by japanese (actually she was scuttled and raised by japanese), was used by them as a patrol boat, americans got her back after the war and sunk as a target

japanese removed two her fore smoke stacks and added an ugly stack of their own typical construction

pic related, it's she being sunk as a target after surviving the war as a japanese warship

tldr, a pow abissal girl in kantai collection when

>>15097166
Way to move the goalpost. Really pathetic.

>>15097095
What about it?

>>15097168
To be fair, her engines gave out. Hardly surprising she was sunk as a target.

>>15097168
After capture she was outfitted with a couple small 3" guns and a boatload of AA for use as an escort. Maybe Mikaduki tier firepower, at best. Not likely, as much as I want her

>>15097066
That is wrong.
Kasumin is highly versatile, can be used in 6-4, give you more options at 2-5 and 3-5, can be used in expedition and can easily replaced Shigure in escort fleet.

>>15097156
>>15097167
Yeah, he sure got me good.

wew

>>15097177
We're doing it again?
>Akizuki

>>15097185
I simply don't see what ship luck has to do with E-3 when her armor is low enough that DA did the job perfectly.

>>15097176
Shiggy's only high stat is her luck. Pointing out how easy it is to give other ships similar levels of luck is not moving the goal posts.

>>15097190
>200+ armor
>low
You got lucky while KTKM was damaged.

>>15097185
It works.
Problem? Want to talk to my 5memedals?

>>15097205
>Duki rescuing her sister
Based.

>>15097198
I said low enough. Her armor is only 8 points higher than BB Water Demon and I never had problems with her either. What could be annoying about E-3 wasn't CA Hime, it was getting unlucky and too many of the other Himes making it into night or your ships not aiming at the boss.

>>15097207

reminds me of the time Duki rescued Hatsuducki for me.

>>15097183
>6-4
I'll give you that one.
>Give more options
Like what? Shifting to K2 or K2B doesn't make any drastic improvement, and both Shigure and Kasumi serves as your daily power creep.
>can be used in expedition
At least Shigure isn't a expedition slave.
>can easily replaced Shigure in escort fleet
It was pretty evident that almost everyone used Shigure as their escort fleet in Summer 2015 and Winter this year, she won't be replaced anytime soon, and Kasumi herself was worthless when it was her turn to shine at that time.

Who do you think the installation girl will be /jp/?
Rabual?

>>15097215
We're not getting an installation girl.

>>15097215
henderson

obligatory use whoever the fuck you want

>>15097218
How will the land based planes work then?
They just show up?
Will it be like the support expeditions?

>>15097222
Probably a node.

>>15097205
>It works
>Two fodders still standing
>implying AKIZUKI herself nailed AA Hime

Yes, you're wrong. Want to talk about my S rank and 5 memedals?

>>15097222
We will find out in 2 weeks, it can be game changing if you can use them on regular maps, specifically 6-4.

>>15097222
Capture Henderson nodes.
They become friendly and gives support.
Repeat per map.

>>15097230
Who gives a shit about meatshields

I want to fuck Chitoge!

>>15097230
>implying shigure would have helped you to get S rnark
You would only get more retreat with her. Luck is overrated.

>>15097237
>>15097228
I guess that's the most likely way.

>>15097193
Except Maruyu farming has nothing to do with what we previously just said. Shigure just has the the edge because of her high luck, and it takes two batches for Kasumi to get into that point; hence, it still takes time, there's no easy way out.

>>15096883
a shit for a shit and the whole world is india

>>15097246
>You would only get more retreat with her
Using Shigure means you get more chances of retreating? Where did you get that information?
>Luck is overrated
It's funny when the Akizuki guy had 3 or4 TCI (if we count ABKM) when he beat it. Luck is your trump card, denying it means you've never played long enough.

>>15097221
Pretty much this, but using Mutsukis is suffering mode.

>>15097262
You just have to raise their luck and pray.

Day 3
Still no Kirishima, I've been getting one monkey a day from 3-2A so this is still probably the best way

>>15097221
Only acceptable in hard mode.

I can't believe I wont be able to ring Musashi before the event. Got her to level 97 through pure PvP.

>>15097259
Overkill protection.

>>15097337
How long did it take?

>>15097259
Go to wikiwiki and look at the pre boss nodes. Did you not do E7? If you only care about TCI, just bring 2DD and 4CA sorted with the highest yasen FP.

>>15097337
If only there were other methods to have your ships gain EXP other than PvP. If only.

>yfw friendly land base installations are girls too

>>15097342
If Wo is bullying you, just use Maya.

>>15097341
1 month and 10 days, I was planning on leveling her on 5-4 but crafting her left me with triple digit resources so I decided to stockpile isntead.

Should I fall for the CVL meme or the CAV meme?

>>15097342
>Go to wikiwiki and look at the pre boss nodes. Did you not do E7?
What the fuck are you talking about? Why do I need to look at wikiwiki for god-knows-why when I beat E7 on hard? Where did pre-boss node come to place? When did I say I only care about TCI and neglecting AA? Why should I bring 2DD and 4CA? Fuck, I sincerely hope you're trolling, you got me good.

>>15097368
Go fall for the kill your faggot ass maymay

>>15097349
You give up too much by using Maya.

>>15097394
Tell that to pretty much everyone else who did. Maya was voted 2nd most useful ship in summer 2015 after Abukuma for a reason.

>>15097394
Not as much as not being able to hear my wife's voice

>>15097397
You mean 79 against 49?

>>15097394
Maya is perfectly valid counter for Wo Kai 4 since she has the strongest AACI and can easily disable them. I'm not sure why would you categorize her by being "alternative" or something inferior.

>>15097403
>Kongou
20 people didn't have Bisko.

>>15097394
You give up way more if you use Akizuki.

>>15097394
I'd argue you give up too much by putting anything in the escort fleet that can't hit worth a fuck. Escort fleet > Main fleet for the final boss. Just because you lucked out doesn't make this any less true.

>>15097408
I'm pretty sure those people were referring to E-4.

>>15097408
Or maybe their Kongou does god's work by taking out meat shield just like that one nip guy a few events ago. His Kongou does more damage than both hotels can dish out.

>>15097414
As expected of hotels.

nice
I guess I'll try again tomorrow

>>15097406
Because having more torpedo plane is better.
I did E7 without a single retreat. Lets say if shit happened, Akiduki will be able to escort someone out. No wasted run. No loss.
People underestimate how strong 4CV(L) is.

>>15097422
Airstrikes were neutered beyond belief thanks to all the anti air on the map. It wasn't at all uncommon for the large slot on junyou or the like to be completely wiped out even. Fuck your 4CVs, TCI for the win.

>>15097436
My 4CV works though and in 1attempt too.
Akiduki > Shigure. Even the poll agrees with me.

>>15097442
Are you clinically retarded? The poll is for all ships regardless of the roles they played.

>>15097422
>torpedo plane is better.
No, it wasn't. How many of your CVLs can enter shelling phase while AA Hime helplessly destroyed their planes? They're nothing but sitting ducks, and everyone can bring what they want if they use FCF to make their runs smoothly. Escort fleet is your last line of defense especially in yasen, everyone will be put to the test, while Akizuki can't hit for shit with her inferior stats.

>all those euros who cleared E7 with kidou
>all those euros who think that every E7 suijou fleet had Akitsu Maru and/or Hayasui

>>15097452
Oh fuck off.

>>15097451
They aren't sitting ducks because you can bring even more planes with 4carriers. That is the whole point.

>>15097458
Because a CVL with one surviving double blue striped tomonaga hits really hard doesn't it?

>>15097461
They have 2 actually.

>>15097464
What does "surviving" mean?

>>15097458
More carriers isn't everything. Chances are, you're still going to get wiped out in one way or the other because her AACI was really that strong plus encountering 2 Tsu along the way made it worse. It just puts a fleet at risk of not getting shit done, and a fleet with Maya was more effective because you don't gimp the role of your escort fleet.

How's your stockpiling and resources going /jp/?

>>15097563
>that baux gain

I don't see why not, it would be really lame if they add land based planes and they are not even equipment.

>>15097931
Different anon here. I think it'll be better to discuss this in /qa/ because this is going off-topic. Make a thread there first.

On a side note, this fucking compass won't let me go to 3-3 boss node. I need 2 more kills.

>>15097953
At most two people who both know and care about the issue will see it in /qa/.

>>15097958
All the less reason to discuss it here since those two people won't even see it here.

>>15097953
I was quite an active user with perhaps the prettiest ID on /q/ back when it existed and I can confidently say nothing good (aside from bug fixes) ever came out from intervening there as the board was filled with people who didn't know 4chan well but despite this fact were very vocal and refused to lurk even when their "logic" was shut down. /qa/ seems to be very similar to /q/.

>>15097963
Whole /jp/'s KanColle community is here and we're actively monitored by a mod. That's way more than two, I don't understand what's your point, my post was directed to anons here.

>>15098003
>we're actively monitored by a mod
Exactly, so posting it here will only result in deletion.

>>15098020
Yes, and? I want the post to be read, I don't mind if it's deleted afterwards. Mod/janitor usually gives a bit of time before acting, that's enough in my opinion. Hell, in the past in similar situations I would personally delete all my meta stuff after discussion ended to make the thread cleaner. Sadly there's a time limit now.

Fine, I'll post it here then. I'll just say first that this problem is prevalent in a number of other boards (/a/ being the most notable example), not just here.

4chan started as a board for shitposting and memes, but it has since changed a lot. People want different things now, they want serious discussions. But these same people don't want drastic changes because of muh memes, muh board culture, we don't want to be like reddit, etc etc. People want serious discussions, but as long as they cling on to these reasons, their board will never improve.

I think what most people haven't noticed is that the definition of "board quality" has changed over the years. It started off to mean a place where you could have fun; the more fun anons had posting there, the higher the board quality. It has now largely changed to mean the quality of the discussion and the posts; many posters now care whether someone else made typos or grammatical errors or had emoticons in their posts. Something they would never have done years before.

Still, there are glimpses of the old definition surfacing from time to time. People still want to be able to have fun. People still want to post memes. However, when people had fun, this caused the discussions to become less serious. Newfags are told to lurk more, especially on /a/. Crossboarders are frowned upon, especially on /a/ and /jp/. However, when they lurk, all they get is contradicting information. As a result, they don't bother to lurk anymore, and just call out those telling them to "lurk more" for trying too hard to fit in.

The following quote holds true here: "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company."
This is the reason why fun and serious discussion cannot coexist for a sustained period of time. There will come a point where you have to choose one and forgo the other if you want to retain board quality. In other words, anyone who wants their board's quality to improve, must first decide what they want "board quality" to mean for them. Do they want a place to have fun? Or do they want a place to have serious discussion? If you want board quality to mean fun, you cannot expect to sustain serious discussion. If you want it to mean serious discussion, you cannot expect to have fun for too long before the board quality dips.

Take /sp/ for example. The board is said to have some of the worst board quality, but I find that they have already made their decision: they want their board quality to mean being able to have fun. This is an advantage that they have over a board like /a/, who is unable to decide what they want their board quality to mean. Unfortunately, the moderator/janitor there has decided otherwise, so they're unable to enjoy having "their" high board quality. But at least in /sp/'s case, the problem does not lie with the users, which is the case for /a/. [s4s] is probably the best example out there; it was built on fun. No serious discussion whatsoever. This is why its users have no problem with it. Unlike /sp/, the moderators acknowledge it too, so that's why [s4s] users are able to enjoy [s4s] having high board quality, at least by their own definition.

>>15098341
/jp/ (this board) is a more complicated example. 2hufags who make up the majority of the board, want their board quality to mean fun. And yet there are pocket communities like this thread, who want serious discussion. As a result, this thread sticks out like a sore thumb in /jp/. And since neither side is willing to change their mind, this thread's quality will never improve as long as it stays here. This is made more of a problem because the 2hufags already don't want this thread to be here because it's KanColle. I have no idea what the mod/janitor of /jp/ wants "board quality" to mean, but an agreement is important.

Some people like /kcg/fag want this thread moved to /vg/, so I'll talk about it as well. /vg/ is a unique example. Since the board consists of generals of specific games, the communities usually keep to themselves for the most part, so posters in each individual community will have to decide for themselves whether they want their thread quality to mean: fun, or serious discussion. Interactions between communities are rare, and when they happen, are usually one-off interactions. For example, when a general has a GET of 6 or more digits, where the last 6 digits all end in 0 (because that's the only kind of repeating digits allowed in /vg/), they'll just come to check those digits, then go back to their own stuff. However, a major exception exists, and that's when two or more games are sufficiently closely related. The main concern about moving this thread to /vg/ is the fact that /sog/ and /wowsg/ (which are also general threads of games with WW2 ships) might not have decided they want their thread quality to mean serious discussion. And if they do decide they want it to mean having fun, there's going to be conflict of interest if this thread is moved to /vg/, due to the likelihood of them constantly crossposting here. Serious moderation, even more so than what this thread already has, will be required to keep the thread quality high. And both /sog/ and /wowsg/ must be made aware of it.

Note that the examples here where posters actually made a decision, chose to have fun over serious discussion. This is due to 4chan being built on memes. If anyone chooses to forgo fun, they will almost certainly be a minority. It's also a much harder route to take than forgoing serious discussion, because the threshold for fun if you decide for board quality to mean serious discussion, is that much lower than the other way round. So if you want to forgo fun, you'd better really mean it, and enforce it as such.

I'll end this here for now. Make of it what you will, but this is my genuine opinion of what's wrong with 4chan today. (I didn't include this in my application to become a janitor for /a/ because I only just realised it a week or so back, but whatever.)

I don't see the problem. They can go to leddit, seems like an apt solution.

Sure. But in that case you have no right to complain about "low quality" posts. Because whoever made that "low quality" post, came here to have fun, not to lurk.

>>15098363
I guess. But I already posted it.

Oh well.

>>15098352
I wouldn't. Anything that is not on 4chan and requires more than 5 seconds of my attention makes me want to close the tab.

>>15098393
It is very well possible to have both memes and serious discussion. You can have memes without writing like an underage retard like people on /s4s/, /b/, and reddit do.

>>15098306
>>15098315
Still not as autistic as the Haguro guy, come back 10 years later.

>>15098352
I would since it'll be definitely more interesting than constant 4-2 sortie or Abukuma baitposting.

As someone who was on both sog, wows and even wtg cancerfest I partially agree with you, but you have to keep in mind that namefagging ruined one of those generals while others kinda seem to follow the same path which I hope I'm wrong there. Namefagging simply wouldn't work here since this game doesn't have dedicated server for gaijins and /jp/ still isn't prone to spouting memes like the rest of the boards.

>>15098414
For what purpose

>>15098402
You can have both. But you cannot sustain it forever. No matter what, having memes will eventually bring in retards without fail.

>/jp/ still isn't prone to spouting memes like the rest of the boards
I beg to differ. /jp/ has its own memes too and they spout them pretty often. Even memes from other boards too; for example, I keep seeing posts about some 2hu being a big girl, followed by a "for you" reply.

>>15098431

>>15098439
>I keep seeing posts about some 2hu being a big girl, followed by a "for you"
That's not a /jp/ meme. That's just a slight change from baneposting. Look it up. Got popular on /pol/ when that plane thing happened (Germanwings Flight 9525).

>>15098439
/jp/ spouts memes, but not to the point where it leads to derailing the thread and people namecalling eachother. Simple jokes here and there while we still have discussion on topic is great but that's also because we have a janitor/mod who actually does it's work properly , unlike majority of threads on /vg/.
The active janitor is enough to prevent people from excessive shitposting because they know they won't go unpunished for it.

>>15098690
Stop posting like a retard.

>>15098685
There isn't one people who got banned from refreshing the game "too much", either from 5-1 grinding or 2-2 "bauxite farming". If you're refreshing the game 500 times per minute you aren't playing the game, you're just hammering the servers.

>>15095993
The correct answer.
And in my case I'm going to say 700 would probably be a safer bet, though given my track record I might be okay with 500.

>>15098685
When was the last time someone got banned for F5 other than the 3-2 steel abuse years ago?

>>15095993
Some Kai Ni (mostly DD and CL(T)s) and the rest between 40-75 (have all class).
I think I'll have 300 buckets by the start.

>>15096600
Even I've got enough steel to repair an entire combined fleet worth of lv99 taihad Yamatos
(about 148k). I don't use it for anything so I've got about 2-4x as much steel as every other resource.
Trust me, you get steel from pretty much everything so there's never a need to farm it.

>>15095915

>>15098492
>/jp/ spouts memes, but not to the point where it leads to derailing the thread and people namecalling eachother.
All that boils down to is "memes I like" and "memes I don't like". If someone likes the meme, they'll go with the flow. If they don't like it, they'll derail the thread to such an extent that any subsequent mention of the meme means instant deletion of the post and a possible ban. /jp/'s been able to keep their memes around for as long as they have because no one had issues with their memes. Besides, they embraced funposting, favouring it over serious discussion, hence memes galore. Neither of these is the case for this thread.

And how excessive is excessive? To complicate matters further, what is a meme to some people may not be a meme to others. Is a meme something that's been spammed constantly? And if it's a reply to something specific, is that something specific, a meme as well? Is greentext a meme by itself? Is "who are you quoting" a meme? Some oldfags on /jp/ still don't think so. Where must the line be drawn?

>>15098520
>1) I don't see how it answers latter part of >>15098003 (You) at all
What started it all was a mention of how 4chan as a whole is becoming worse, so I made my reply with that in mind. I figured that if a thread was made on /qa/, anyone here who cared would go there by themselves. Besides, it's because we're monitored by a mod that I didn't think this discussion would stay for long.

>2) I don't agree that we're forced to choose. I'm very against such binary way of thinking. The threads I love the most almost always managed to have both a lot of fun and discussion.
>We just have to chase them away like /a/ has been successfully doing for many years
I didn't either, but fact is, this indecision is the very reason why /a/ has deteriorated so much. Not to mention /a/'s "lurk more" no longer works; instead it's backfired on them. And other boards are also at risk, too.

I believe this went unnoticed for so long to begin with because no one wanted to accept that they had reached the point where they're forced to choose. Believe me, I didn't want to accept it either, but sooner or later, a choice must be made, because fun + discussion is very much an unsustainable model. Even proper moderation can only keep it going for so long.

>(until /q/ and several big jumps in popularity of 4chan that happened in recent years) and need some help from the staff.
Another problem that /a/ had was that they could no longer trust the staff. Of course this doesn't apply to /jp/ right now, but before a change in moderation staff, /a/ didn't have that problem either. You never know what will happen to 4chan that will change your position from a favourable one to an unfavourable one.

Hold the item long enough and you can switch them to any slot. You can also change the ship's position by dragging the girl's picture to any slot.

It was added >>15098897

>>15098922
Oh wow, I knew about the ship swapping but didn't know about the equipment swap.

>>15098873
Half a year ago.

>>15098916

>>15098928
Equipment swapping was added either in the same update as ship swapping, or the update right after. I forgot.
