Conan & Network
Hey Conan, I’ve been running a new topology for our base’s comms, but I keep running into packet loss whenever the siege drums start. How do you keep your lines steady when the enemy is pounding at the gates?
When the drums roll, you gotta treat the lines like armor. First, tighten the link—use the strongest cables you’ve got, keep them wrapped tight, no slack. Second, keep a spare relay ready; if one drops, the other keeps the signal alive. Third, set the frequency to a spot the enemy can’t jam; shift it like you shift tactics on a field. And lastly, run the comms through a buffer—give it a little cushion so one bad burst doesn’t choke everything. Treat the drums like a storm; keep your lines reinforced and ready to swing back.
