Oh my god. I wasn't around for the old settings, so after much deliberation, I decided to go check them out. They make me appreciate the newer settings all the more. Warbird: Its nothing but a slower jav with bombs. And a repel for good running measure. Javelin: Doesn't seem too much different, so it's still just as boring as ever. Spider: Able to hold more bursts, meaning its lethaler in base, but with a lack of decent bullets and no emp, its useless outside. Levi: It seems to be better, IMO. Althogh it instead needs fast firing Lvl 2 bullets, not 3. Too powerful that way. Bombs may need speed increase. Terrier: A fair tradeoff, stronger bombs for -1 bounce and weak bullets, Although unfair for cloakers. Ability to hold 6 repels is terrible. It would be a rep-o-thon. Weasel: Ahhhh, the weasel. I've heard so much about this little bugger, and I think while its good for a laugh, it need not be the ship set. For all the people that complain about vulching today (i do sometimes) this would make things hundreds of times worse. Shark: BAH! This ship drips with n00bism. While I loath the shark of today, I would gladly take it over the old one. What seems to be increased shrap and an increased forward thrust make it totally overpowered, plus the fact that it bounces 6 times before exploding. You dont need aim to hit someone. Worst. Ship. Ever. Shark: Nothing but a weaker version of todays shark. Now while I'd still like to see some of todays settings changed, I am so glad that they are not what they were.
