Sharpflame

Why not just let people ?go duel and make their own bets like always?

Cluster bomb SUCKS. There is definitely not enough variety in Bombs, limiting ship customizations. Ideas for Bombs: L1 bomb with a crapton of shrapnel. Mostly only useful for spamming shrap into areas, otherwise sucks. EMP Shockwave, For weasels only, L3 bomb with bombdelay between HE Missile and Smart Bomb. L3 bomb with prox. Ta-Da, a sniper's bomb. Levi-only L2 bomb with faster-than-salvo bomb delay. Cyclone, anyone? L1 bomb which excels in costing little energy. .... more bombs pl0x kthxbye.

Some people, all they can do is lanc and it is all they will do. Haku-Sama is a person who I have seen lanc since last reset. Never seen the person in a different ship. Then there's some people who don't like it. I couldn't stand my lanc so I sold it and got different ships. Just use what you like, and don't use what you don't like

Uh, I guess it would've been done already if possible... or should've: Why not only have one public arena, and make ?Go 1, ?Go 2, etc all impossible to get into or have nothing in them. Ta-da! Gar, I like your post, it makes a lot of sense. Adding powerballs in center like Doccles suggested would probably help, just hopefully not just one person can jump in and make hundreds of thousands by themself with nobody to stop them.

I think it should be this concept with bases. Short bases with more than 2 entrances. Then bricks and rushers and fields stay useful, and at the same time it requires constant teamwork.

I'm going to sell it unless you give me reason not to!

I'm going to close this if it continues to be argument between Syrith and Unix only. Use forum PMs for that. Obviously you both disagree with eachother and will not be influenced otherwise. Get back on topic, nubs...

The smallest ship shouldn't be a tank. This sorta has to do with ships. But not really. But still: Bricks suck. $250 to use a temporary wall that could fail and not drop like you want it to. Oh, and if you want to waste your money, you have to pay $12K first for a mount. Whatever. Some people would say that it is hardly even expensive, but uh... what's it gonna cost you just to brick like four times? A thousand + 12K for a mount. Also, I wonder if anyone in the zone has ever paid the money just for a full charge brick. Come on. And, without bomblining, why levi? Bases no longer have bomblines unless you cleverly place bricks to make a wall with one hole in it (which nobody would do because bricks are too expensive anyways). I think I would like to see Spider/Levi get a little of mobility. Both ships will lose no matter what if it's them versus two of any ship.

Yeah, this is like the HyperMode idea that Doccles didn't like.

They seem pretty balanced.

I like this. Radiating Coils is pretty vital to a lanc, but so is a great reactor like Ampere Imploder, or a gun like Point Defense.

Hot Pocket.

Pretty nice, but relatively hard to see the text. Maybe you should outline it (Blending options -> Stroke) with green or something.

I like this one a lot more, but why use such a plain font? Use the BladeRunner font if you want it to look like HS.

I don't think I said I was sure they were perfect. Get away. Make it perfect if you want it that way.

I think the zone changes since the reset are an overall improvement. People who think that ammo is evil should just deal with it or leave. Ammo isn't bad in any way in my opinion. It just costs money. Yes, there's a few problems lingering around, but less than there was right after the reset. Remember the superpowered terrier and plasma cannon and stuff? Now about the only issue is a few underpowered ships and maybe an overpowered one. Which are being fixed. I'd rather not go back (never expected it to go back anyways), instead let's keep improving. If people would think about it for a few minutes, they'd realize that the zone is a lot more fun than it used to be when attacking a base took (literally) 4 hours.

I have my media player open sometimes, and it does drop the FR slightly, but it'll be slow without it. I also tried closing out my antivirus, which failed.

Just wanna throw in another opinion. The smallest ship should not be able to tank like a levi. Nor have better recharge than the weasel (Or does weasel no longer have recharge as a good attribute?) The incremental changes are definitely not a bad idea, just a slow process. Patience... soon maybe the shark will be perfect. Then maybe Spider/Leviathan will get incremental recharge increases? Remember, this isn't a Shark topic, it's a Ships topic.

Aw man, hate to see you go polix. Miss you along with the rest of ssforum.

Yes, windowed mode is worse.

Well. Radeon HD 2400 Pro, wit DirectX 10 blah blah. The thing cost me $130, and I can manage a frame rate of about 60 if I don't have any tiles on-screen. Speccing over tiles drops it down to 7-20. Wow. I have tried various combinations of the advanced options checkboxes, but none of them seem to make a difference. If I turn on software emulation, I will always have a slow frame rate of 15. In 8-Bit mode, I get a frame rate of 30 easily in software emulation, in 16-Bit or 32-Bit, it's 15. Problem with not having software emulation on is that the frame rate drops instantly if I get a few tiles on screen. Lvz graphics RAPE the frame rate, sometimes it slows it down so much that I can't even get the keyboard to respond easily to get away. Crappy computers that I play this game on, like, ones that take about 2 minutes to enter a zone, get a frame rate higher than this computer that is relatively fast. Uhh... The reason I am here is because I am hoping that somebody around here knows why this is happening, and possibly how to fix this. Anyone know what's going on?

I have also tried using those Socks5 proxies. It never works, always the same error message. And I finally managed to get Continuum installed at school, too.

Shark's recharge is too high. Let's not play with the Num pad while entering recharge settings, please. Also, I think Spider/Levi deserve a tad bit higher recharge. And why isn't overthruster on either ship? Boo. When something gets done to the Shark, either energy or recharge should be cut. They both are just as effective.
