It looks like a Baseball team logo lol its nice

Psythe probably broke it

I was just assuming for the shields part... But Freespace / Freespace 2 had those. You could transfer energy to a particular side too. Was pretty cool... As for subsystems, I understand that you could lose some parts of your ship (a particular maneuvering thruster, or your guidance system) during a fight. And you'll be able to carry some kind of repair bots on your ships to get some repairs done without having to dock somewhere. Again, Freespace had most of these mechanics (though probably not as detailed)... but Freespace was only a combat game. A great one, though. But it was a series of missions, no open-world, no trading, etc.

Do you remember which one? These things are pretty long...

This isn't subspace... you have more than 4 arrow keys to keep in mind. I'm sure some automatic countermeasures wouldn't be so far-fetched... You'll probably have to balance out your shields and distribute your power throughout your systems to adjust yourself in combat, so I wouldn't mind the computer taking some duties by itself But if it's like Freespace or Freelancer, you still had to launch those countermeasures. And if you ever seen a real fighter jet throw countermeasures, you'll see that they throw about 10 or 20 flares to try to lure the missile. It's not like 'I hit this countermeasure button, the missile goes away'.

Software like Spyware Doctor have been known to keep Continuum from working properly... Even adding to exceptions don't seem to work for that issue. Works for some people, not for others. Read this for some things to try: http://www.subspace.co/tutorials/article/3-why-will-continuum-not-load-for-me

I remember trying Peerblock, and it messed up Continuum badly, so I got rid of it...

This came in the mail today: Pic is a bit crappy, but the card is actually pretty shiny.

Surprised no one posted about this yet... I have many questions: -Who made this? Who is this mysterious 'Continuum Staff'? -I thought we couldn't get Subspace on Steam because we don't really "own" the game... what changed (if it did) ? -The original link in the email I got was a redirect link from http://restyle.akkermans.nl/ ... Wtf is that? This is the original URL from the e-mail (intentionaly made un-clickable in this post): http:// restyle.akkermans.nl/npro/inc/rdr.asp?85828___13520211013___http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=144913037 This looks pretty shady to me... Edit: It was posted on http://trenchwars.org/ by dezmond, and he is the one who requested a video that is used on http://subspace-continuum.com/, so I'm guessing he's (part of?) "Continuum Staff", that answers one question...

Not to mention that it would probably be very confused by the jump gates, corner warps, inversion matrix, etc.

This indie game looks great, and I'll probably spend a few bucks on it... Banished http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/?page_id=680

what about now?

Sounds like a nasty patch to hide bad coding, imo... That, or ref-counted pointers... Which can be useful in some cases, but you can't use them everywhere easily. And it doesn't guarantee anything, as you can still use the data pointer directly and do nasty things with it. Google came up with this: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6679

hg clone will do that for you

Once they are dropped, the only thing that makes a brick disappear is its 'alive time' on the client side. My suggestion would be to have a delay on the brick, just like fields. It would prevent Psythe from abusing them, at least

Addendum 1: Lancs can't be used effectively for rushing anymore, unless the anchor lanc has Jump Beacon, which would allow other lancs to attach to it with full energy. However, any lanc with antideath can create a very effective one-time rush. I'd also add something concerning gunners... Spam gunners tend to sit in one spot and fill the corridors. But gunners can greatly increase their range if they use momentum to fire. Some areas will allow you to bounce back and forth. If you fire bullets while you're moving forward, those bullets will go much faster, and reach much farther. Additionally, you can use the short period of time while you're moving backwards to recharge a bit, especially if you're using low efficiency/high damage guns. As for bombers... yes, a lot of bombs can be repelled. But when a bomb gets repelled, that means you're forcing the enemy to use its repels to repel bombs instead of using them to rush. Also, you must try to find a line of fire that will not allow bombs to be repelled back at your team. If your bomb travels along a wall, for example, chances are it will be repelled into the wall. These are some things to keep in mind.

I moved your topic, while leaving a link. Hope that's fine with you Mercurial is nice Good to see some activity on Discretion... that might make me want to finish whatever it was that I had started in there... lvz's I think.

Just got another one of those "zone crashes few seconds after flag game, yet we get a "Server is shutting down." message like it was a proper ?recycle"

Hm... ?neut would be useful. If you anti-antiwarp the flagrooms, we'll also be able to lay portals, warp out with the flags, and whatever... so we don't want that

Yeah... next item set will have no sigs, according to SpiderNL... Having 2 would just increase even more the gap between newbies and experienced players.

400 is still way more than we can fit in one arena anyway...

Okay

imo, string of pearls is just as deadly against antideath

What... go play Diablo

Also, single elimination sounds like a lot of setup for a short match... Alternatives: -Time based, most kills wins after X minutes -X lives per player -X lives per team (i.e. team is out after a total of X deaths) X doesn't have to be large... In 17th Parallel, we used to host this Rumble event, depending on the number of people and what they wanted, we would change the objective (i.e. to 10 deaths, to 15, or 20). Hosted events could use a variable amount of death, but eventual leagues would use a fixed number, based on what seems right. Non-pros might prefer something where they can at least play for more than 10 seconds my 0.02$ Also, if they give me power to, I'll host
