ReCoil!

*after a few minutes ReCoil! starts to feel a tinkling sensation in his right arm...where his wound is, and recognizes that the nanomedics have located the area of most damage...and were now not only managing to repair his arm...but were also recovering his strength by warming him throughout his body....they only lasted 24 hours though....so the tinkling wound recide...leaving ReCoil! fully healed....* *He gazed at the wound in his arm....noticed it had stopped bleeding, and then raised his left arm to call Manus over for a chat...it had been too long...., he also wanted to warn him to keep his old fusion gun on standby * *ReCoil! checked his Xbow was loaded with the GP rounds...5 bolts per magazine...*

ive never played extreme games but im just gonna assume that that is a cr!@#$%^&* comment..that doesnt apply at all to the discussion... can i just say to everyone that weasel cant take on terriers outdoors either...., so terrier might not be able to hunt weasel...but it cant be attacked by it...and i dont want to revert to using a shipset that u have to be in a specific place against a specific ship to kill it i cant think of anything more boring....we have to have something inbetween....it cant be jav kills everything outside...its just not fair...it has to balance between the 2 different settings old and new.... now who manages the ships round here please....this still hasnt been answered

*ReCoil! places his hand on the miniature folded crossbow on his leg as Aileron approaches....but this isnt any ordinary crossbow....its been specifically linked to ReCoil! since the age of 5....to give the neural link time to establish itself.... at his mental command the Xbow would flip out and power up, ready to fire whatever ammunition it was loaded with, at incredible speed....* *The ammunition was !@#$%^&*orted as well....going from General Purpose, to RPG, to Timed (the time chosen by mental command), and Armour Piercing....all of these had shield pucturing tips to allow them to compete with modern personal defence systems.... But to top all this there were guided Xbow bolts....that could be guided manually by the neural link, or targeted using ReCoil!'s eyes in conjunction with the link* *He also had a portable defence drone that looked like a small hand-sized sphere....capable of shooting down incoming enemy fire...and returning fire....using its rapid fire Talon 9000 cannon, not 2 mention his beautiful fire lizard Zaranth that could grab him by the shoulder and teleport him to anywhere it thought safe....* *All in all he could handle a fight* *He glanced up and told his Xbow to standby....just in case....but then Aileron sat down and he could tell by the look on him, that he only wanted to talk....* *after Aileron has proposed his offer ReCoil! said, "i would love to help u out...but as u can see if gaze over there (points to foam covered ship), i wont be flying for at least 5 days....with that kinda damage..." "hey that guy over there looks interested ( having noticed him following Aileron with his eyes)" - *nods towards Ghetto*

for gods sake...who changes the ships round here....why dont we get talking to them.....and try some stuff out...and get some feedback...instead of mucking about on here.... perny got here map tryouts every friday....why dont we have ship tryouts now on friday...or something.....at least try instead of sitting on ur arses saying ooo the new settings are crap, the old settings are crap...why dont we wipe the slate clean....keep whats good....change whats bad..... all we need to do is have some feedback on each shipset each friday....on this forum or something....we could even mix and match until we get it right....but can we stop bickering and trying to rip each others arguements apart...cos that gets u nowhere ....right i enjoyed that who does the ships?btw

im not gonna quote anyone cos im not sure how 2 it...just have to learn with time...but im not an idiot....and i do recognize that this zone is really newbish atm....therefore why not a compromise....why not mix the 2 shipsets... i propose that WB should go back to what it used to be....with a tad more acceleration...not that really slow thing...just a little more.... jav keep same as pub jav is now....seems fine to me...(i meant be wrong dont bother ripping me apart over it) spider - send it back to what it used to be.... lev - back to old lev.... terrier - might as well keep the new one... all u javs call it a -*BAD WORD*- ship anyhow... weasel- i honestly dont see the problem with the new weasel..its weak in base.... and unique and is a good jav killer...so leave it alone.... ok it might not require the one hit kill skillz of before...but just cos u javs cant kill it doesnt mean its hard... i nail weasels everytime..so they do die...just as much as everyone else... lancaster - return to old days....there isnt much difference anyhow...no one really can be arsed to use the guns lol shark - i cant remember much about this....i dont think it has changed much apart from losing a thor am i right?? why not give it a 2 week trial and then have a vote at the end of it.... say keep/back to usual/ or try a different modification.... i really am open minded....and i think everyone is willing to have a change...and just see how things go.... the only problem is all the newbs wouldnt like it.... so they would all vote against it....but if we just listen to vets....then that might work...maybe have a vote on this forum....give people the website on 17th..those who care will visit...

I dont mean offense to jav players but would it be fair to say that it is mostly them who want the old settings back? and would it also be fair to say that the javelin was unmatchable by any other ship unless someone either used spider/weasel on them? i dont think that is fair....and i think that the fact that 17th now is more challenging to javs is all well and good.... but lets be honest.... if u changed the settings people would get angry...i would be if u touched my terrier....well ....i dont think i could adapt.....their is nothing wrong with the ship sets...they only need tickering with.... if u want to make the ships more interesting work with what we have now.... why not give the spider red bullets....thats like the old days...but keep the double/quadruple fire.....terrier is just as strange as it used to be....jav is fine, weasels is fine....thats interesting....lancaster...-*BAD WORD*- even that seems ok.... maybe warbird could do with a change...i dont know though that would upset alot of people.... i dont think u can change warbird....its like jav its not gonna change...and shark....i think shark should have even faster bomb fire....that would be class.... maybe levi should be changed though....but it would have to be looked at....its not that unbalanced how it is right now.... im not suggesting any of these happen....i just dont agree with u delic....i like the ships...and i only experienced the old settings for a very short amount of time.... and well....they might have worked...but i dont know...all i do know is the settings we have now...are challenging for all ships concerned...and that all ships can beat all other ships..but have to develop skills against them.... terrier for instant....is great against weasel...but rubbish against wb....u just have to adapt.... anyhow thats enough lol

*after 6 months on his personal vendetta of revenge, ReCoil! having finally avenged his wife....comes spinning towards the station docks at 2000kph only to be saved from death against the station hull, by the automated safety beams which gently egded his ship down to 100 kph, so that it scratched along the floor in a flurry of sparks to a dead halt....* *the ship rumbled like an animal in great pain as the EonGenerator Series 900 engines with Dual Thrust Reheaters slowly contracted as they cooled ... suddenly 2 abrupt dull thuds could be heard from the -*BAD WORD*-pit. ReCoil! smashed open the jammed -*BAD WORD*-pit roof, and watched it from the corner of his eye, shatter on the floor as he grabbed his weapons and jumped away from the burning vessel, and watched his burgundy fire lizard quickly follow him, from the smouldering wreck of a ship....* *microseconds later the ship was blasted from all sides by with foam untill it was completely cocooned, and ventilations systems kicked into action to remove the fumes... ReCoil! shook his head and turned towards the bar he hadnt been to in so long.....* *he was wearing a white long sleeved top, which gently caressed his skin, and a warm fleecy, waterproof, sleeveless jacket over them, which was navy blue and had a patch over the right shoulder...where the fire lizard quickly settled, as he slowly stumbled towards the bar..... His right arm was bleeding the white of his top stained....and drops of blood were crashing to the deck, leaving behind a trail....* *ReCoil! glanced around the bar....recognized some faces...some friendly some not....and settled himself in a corner near a heat emitter, while Zaranth his burgundy fire lizard gently licked his ears and cheek and made gentle chirping sounds to comfort him....., as he shivered due to shock and loss of blood...* *He reached down to his right thigh and retrieved a phial of nanomedics....holding them in his hands the phial suddenly began to light up as the nanorobots were brought to life by the heat from his palms and started to emit an electric blue glow.....that filled the corner of the bar....a few people looked up...., then suddenly ReCoil! downed the phial in one....and started to think about his cir-*BAD WORD*-stances....* *he hadnt expected such a dangerous atmosphere near 17th....that last spider....almost had him....he had lost a wing....and his hull intergrity had been down to 32/1400 one more hit would have been the end of him....he shook his head as the fire lizard gently tried to comfort him*

Hi I know i havent got a fancy picture or anything yet...but well thats not whats important....and if u dont know me well i used to go by th name Kwisatz, and Zakalwe!...and now ReCoil! all of which were mostly terrier, but i can learn any ship in a bit... but thats not important...i just wanted to show i wasnt newb or anything. I have a few suggestions that i would do in order of priority.... (PLEASE READ THEM) 1st - bounty WB - 33, Jav - 33, Spider - 40, Lev - 35, Terrier* - 35 , Weasel - 35** Lancaster - 34, Shark - 35*** * I noticed in kents thread there was a comment about 3 terriers reping..well any 3 ships defending would be highly annoying...eg. 3 lancs, or 3 sharks...so it was just unfortunate for u...and terrier is a support craft...3 supporting each other are deadly... ** weasel is fast it can easily collect 35 ***shark i agree with kent...40 2 high....like 40 for terrier 2 high....and shark is fast as well... Im completely for having higher bounty attaching...but you just got your values a bit wrong... 2ndly - bounce....i know this probably wont happen...but i think that the average points scored in 17th just be found....i dont know what it is but for example 25000 (i know this is completely wrong) and then bounce should cost 12500 therefore people can only get it twice on average...and it will make people ball more if they want bounce...cos they will need to get more points... 3rdly - spider....i expect this even less that the other 2....but maybe stealth should have a heavier cost...so spiders have to time when they charge into bases....cos if they dont it would run out and people could see them...not 2 fast a decharge...but u know so its not free exactly...and cloak should be free.... i dont relly have a prob with spider...its another ship...i just think this would introduce a bit more skill...people have been using it alot recently as good player killers...becos they can suicide... I know this is alot of stuff if uve read it.....give urself a pat on the back and i thank u alot....i hope to play abit more..and maybe post some other things abit shorter
