God I almost choked myself laughing... please stop >_>

Get really good at dueling... Then steal people's money in money duels.

Perhaps he was using a Supercomputer...

I really only care how good you duel. And if you'll duel me for cash so I can buy a temporal core...

You should really ask yourself if you're fit for a squad not just because you're good. You should think about how you could support the squad in basing as well as just getting along ON A TEAM. (Playing on a team is important for obvious reasons) Anyways I suppose that's why I'm squadless again, nothing compares to the thrill of lone freqing in my opinion, not even a cushy squad.

Well GG to you Hamm.

Poor newbs? That's life, deal with it.

Kill it's rotation and turn it into a juggernaut carrier. Why not make Hyperspace more fleet based? Make Lancaster require support to survive. Specialize each ship around this Lancaster. Heavy cannons that can only be fired once every 10 secs? Give each ship a specialized role that only that ship can fill. I like how the Warbird is a superiority fighter. The Leviathan needs better something? Perhaps my slot idea could be of use here. Another idea is instead of making fields as they are. ACTUALLY MAKE THEM LAUNCH AS THE NAME IMPLIES. Make them shoot a specified distance from the user. It would make them deadly effective in bases (a sort of thor if you will).

Add slot maximums to certain ships so a warbird can't be armed as heavily as a lancaster. This would give people more incentive to buy bigger better ships and would also give those ships an advantage or a way for the settings to be balanced in a more exotic matter (instead of buffs). Cargo holds would be cool too, add in trading posts at every sector that buy and sell cargo. Have ships drop cargo greens or something. Then give each ship cargo holds dependent on size. This would also make a weight or size variable for items. So lets say a warbird buys an ion drive which takes 2 slots while an overthruster or icefire might take more slots. This would make new items possible and perhaps new technologies like miniaturization (adds more slots).

A great idea (in my opinion) is rename the Sensors section to "Electronics" or "Systems". Add new items like Quantum Computers or Superconductors. Each giving some sort of boost. It would diversify the sensors section and give players more options and incentive to purchase a sensor pod.

What he said.

Being a turret is just fine in my opinion, what's so lame about it? Would be just as bad if all six players just teamed together in the center anyways. A lot of people would get raped, only difference would be they would die just a little more often (but still very little).

The energy vortex in sector 8 should grow 1 tile every 5 minutes if no one dies to it and it should shrink at a faster rate when it kills someone. TW might have to be moved to sector 4 but you could make it have a max radius that encomp!@#$%^&*es sector 8 and only sector 8. I'm sure alot of people would find it very appealing (especially with the Energy Vortex cult in full swing). (I think an unlimited radius is even better but that's just me)

Raid beam puts beam array out of service. Gyrosphere is useless, no offence but +1 energy is nothing.

The Overthruster sucks, why? It has great thrust sure, but without any high maximum speed to drive UP to, you end up dodging slow anyways. You can't dodge with it and dodging was what it was made for, my opinion is to give it no speed degrades, sure it seems small but throw fins on it and you have a slightly fast and agile drive, even without fins at least you can dodge better... The IceFire sucks, why? Sure it's fast and people can run quick in them, well until a big !@#$%^&* spider guns you down or a rocket shredder cuts you down. Running isn't everything and the icefire lacks any ability to dogfight properly, though not as bad as the overthruster I would suggest that something be done to the icefire to give it some sort of advantage, perhaps deprize 3 rotation instead of 1 and giving it an additional thrust upgrade. In my opinion the icefire is a subpar drive but it's still somewhat useful. Overall I think it's the overthruster that needs a small boost in performance but that's just me. You can judge for yourselves.
