Manus Celer Dei

I'm still working on my rpg... Yes it's going real slow, I had exams then and I have work now. It's gone through a number of revisions and I'm thinking of writing some of it into a book. I'll post the definitive Kanatis history in a couple of days to give you an idea of how it's going to end up. Feel free to start anything of your own as and when you want. (keeping within forum guidelines of course)

Overall good settings, see my post in the other thread for how i feel they could be changed.

I'm going to call this one as I see it. For the short version: I like the changes long version: I like the new map, especially the south base. I like the majority of the ship setts, with a few provisos 1. as has been said, terrier needs some tweaking (i suggest cutting the nrg to 1500 and reducing the gun fire rate by 1/3). 2. The weasel bomb imo would work better instead doing 1k dmg and having a 10 second emp rather than the 20k dmg it does now, giving the poor reccer a chance to get away and so that the weasel just cant randomly plant them in bases for a few cheap kills. 3. As has also been stated before, the lev needs another "escape", either a rep, port, or rocket. As what i see as primarily a base ship, it needs to be able to live long enough to get to a base. 4. Jav anti needs to have a similar drain as the anti on the old terr (the l1 bombs one), forcing the jav pilot to choose between being a support ship or strike fighter. not both. (at the same time pull anti off the terr, it already has mines and x) 5. Change the shrap back to equidistant spacing, making the lanc the shrap bomber it should always be. 6. Attach bounties on all ships changed to 35. (this is my personal affront at kami swarming, which imo lacks both tactical and strategic skill) I haven't yet flown the new wb, so it doesn't necessarily mean i wouldn't like to see it changed, only that i don't know what would need changing (if it does).

Okay, i got it now. Ignore my last post and reply to the pm here?

Whoops, looks like i knew too much. Time to get some practice at being reactor shielding.

Infantry.... !@#$%^&* i remember the alpha for that game. Is that still going?

The computer !@#$%^&*igns troubleshooters to boring missions in order to evaluate how happy the troubleshooters are at performing their tasks. From this the computer can determine how loyal a troubleshooter is and act appropriately. This does not so much promote disloyalty as uncover it.

Return of the old school. there shall be a bloody vengeance laid down upon thee and the wicked shall be slain in woefully slow motion.

I remember that joke from the first time Bush got elected. Many laughs had by all, except a few who took it a bit to personal. The rest of you: don't worry, the re-education of Tex!@#$%^&*hire will be intensive and extensive

Ianthe - Recording Officer [OOC] I like the sound of this, we'll run this one first while I iron out some kinks in the one I'm working on.

Like most New Zealanders, I am aware that the world does not revolve around me, but in fact revolves around the sun. Perhaps (!@#$%^&*uming you act in a similar fashion irl to the way you do here) if you would like people from other countries to not treat you like a person that requires special attention in order to dress themselves, then perhaps you should moderate these outbursts a little. Otherwise I'm sure the rest of the world will continue to treat you accordingly and dismiss your opinions and reasoning out of hand. Secondly, maddox is far to classy for a topic like this. Use maddox sparingly, only link the greatest site for threads that deserve it.

I see now. Your ignorance is forgiven.

Who? wtf? I'll have you know that we're the greatest country in the world.

Unless things have drastically changed since I was last on 17th (I somehow doubt this), then all I see here is a 'fad' in how people play 17th. Before this it was the shark, before that the wb, before that the weasel. On the matter of greening. Imo either all ships should start with max specials (burst, decoy, brick etc.. how it was back in the day), or all ships should start with none at all. Obviously this would require tweaking existing setts to stop javs and lancs (which would have an advantage as they don't need to green anyway). But I do feel that all ships should start with maxed nrg, speed, regen and so forth. This helps prevent negging, which I feel would be a horrible horrible bane on the face of 17th.

And probably after the new leader emerges too. It seems to be the century of the hardliner.

Failing that, you can always to migrate to New Zealand.

When I first thought to reply to this topic I was going to put my 2 cents in and I was going to quote several posts. I then realised that it would take too much effort. Suffice to say that some people need to grow a tougher skin.

I think that would be best. Some of the people on this forum try to act older than they are and fail miserably.

Sigh.

I want to see the wussy Master Chief getting skewered by a strider.

Those "political niceties" are kinda important. Lets think of a hypothetical situation: US invades country A using the logic that a preemptive strike is the only way to contain the threat. Threat turns out to be imaginary. Country B, having an overwhelmingly powerful military and a fear that the US will next turn their attentions to them, uses the same logic and invades the US. If the invasion of Iraq was acceptable, then the invasion of the US on the same grounds is also acceptable.

WTF? have you been smoking something you shouldn't be? I think you've replied to the wrong topic.

It has been done in the past. (under the old setts) What happened was that the entire nme freq switched to levs and thor spammed the defenders. I think I managed to get around 70 kills off them before they got that kind of coordination though.

I'd say a few words, but I don't know how much the zone has changed since I stopped playing regularly
