^ That guy obviously hasn't been around very long. There are multiple ways to push without suiciding with bursts or whatever !@#$%^&*ed item it is this week. P.S. Boldot: If there's no one up for hosting it then it fails. Since teams have to be kept even, it's not a passive thing.

Oh, yeah, I love the chance to use a lightning field effectively, it just doesn't come very often. EMP fields..would be way too good or way to useless right now, unless you just happened to be unlucky enough to be in one when it shot. If the EMP settings in general it would be a good idea. Field Negator wouldn't outlast any of the other fields (except brick attack of course) and would still be a one-time use like the others. That way it can negate multiple fields, reach a wide enough area to be worth it, but not completely kill other people's money drop on their fields. Other ideas I had for fields were status-down, a temporary ?prize -stats type thing.

I was thinking bigger than searing heat, therefore you wouldn't have to reach the point it spawned at to make it effective. The field settings I've been looking at, and no one seems to even use the lightning field (it's like a brick attack but a bit bigger..) so I'll probably eventually look at some new ones, based on other inspirations with fields.

The only people who may judge abuse by staff are higher staff. If one wants to see how much he or she can annoy staff before they do something, then they also accept the risk that something rash might be done.

Best is if it's a field itself that prevents you from getting shot at by a field while in it. Affecting the whole arena would be kind of dumb.

Shark is broken because of pseudocloak and repels, fix those and you fix the shark.

Read the forums FTW.

No, a ship is too good if it is too good. It is not balanced if it is too good at one thing but not the other. Center melee and flagging are separate, and non-uberness in the other area does not make it balanced in the discussed area.

Do you honestly think that since the zone isn't up now that they are going to know when it will be up? Since they will get it up ASAP, it's not like they're going to get advance warning on this.

It's a fallacy to claim that a ship is balanced because it sucks in one game but is uber in another.

Just get better at jav?

cdrom's post sounds a lot like natural selection in action.

Maybe you didn't realize you can only have one alien tech.

Aw, poor baby. Now that antideath is slightly less ridiculous, why don't you learn how to not die so often? It seems pretty easy for most people in the zone what with repels, energy infusion...and what not. As for the sell price, I believe Brain has said something to this effect on the sell price: "You already get a lot more than your money's worth on antideath."

Yes, when are you planning on completing them, SF?

They're called Attack Fields, Dm.

You could probably make $10k faster by turreting, or basing. It's going to take about minutes on average if you do the most efficient means of respawnsuiciding, and then you are still guaranteed nothing, except looking like a fool. I figure: If it is too good, either it will be more rare, the amount will be reduced, or negative side effects will come into play. I figure, if some kid wants to do mindless suicide grinding for free money, he is really just hurting himself anyway.

Is the pseudo cloak not caused by the Kill:EnterDelay setting? Because if it is, there are ways (not necessarily simple) to minimize that, it might be worth looking into. I seem to remember the pseudo cloak not being so severe before. For example: Set the EnterDelay lower (1 second?), have people spawn in a spawner box like the old days, but they won't have enough bounty to attach until they're prized (which would be after they're warped out of the spawner.) The prize/spawn event would be on a timer set when the player is killed, instead of an indefinite region check like before.

It's pretty simple. Think before you speak.

Disruptor was perfectly fine the way it was. Its underuse was a side effect of Terrier being underused.

I thought it didn't get much worse than Shredder. Boy was I naive.

There really is no need for you to quote the entire huge post that is already just above your post.

Prediction: Usage of Brick Attack Fields and Energy Infusions will rise dramatically. Fortunately those items don't have quite as many innate problems.

Your preconvential train of thought does not amuse me. How about don't break rules if you don't want to be punished? You know it is against the rules and you are surprised you didn't get let off with a warning? How sad. Sit out for the time you are banned and learn from this mistake. Why spam the forum with your whining, though? Talk with the staff. If they don't want to negotiate, then you have to live with it. PS. Bomook you are too nice.

I'm sure it was posted somewhere else: Brain is not going to be able to work on it until he's off of school for winter break. Obviously, that is soon.
