Sounds like a fun idea. There would be ships who havent selected a class, and then you buy into a class and gain ccertain strengths and weakness. It sounds almost like an item that you could buy but encomp!@#$%^&*es many different areas of your ship, and multiple ships at once. How bout if it were more expensive to buy into a class, and you can only enter certain classes once youve reached a certain amount of experience, like a promotion. <------- What are the points for?

^ please

Sharks can easily be held back if you rep when they try to rush. The problem is that most ppl dont even bother to use reps for that so theyre able to slip right by. Moral of the story is that sharks are not too overpowered, but that people dont know how to counteract them or are simply not doing it because they either dumb or btying.

Problem solved: Have two tournement, on with stock ships, one with pubs. See how many people sign up for each. ^ 50th post

Sucks to be you

Make all the ships even, then its all about skill baby.

can you make it more like balling where every one gets like 300 instead of dividing 10k by 19 different people. Jackpot does not increase. Set amount to win would make people win sooner, and the team with the flags would get to decide if they want to milk it. Then you just reset flags game every two hours or so just so one team doesnt milk it for longer.

^^

This is debatable I guess but I did a way better rushing spider for less than half that ZPM - duh H2ramscoop Shock matrix Power strip 2 Defense mount Deflector shield (totals 3 reps and two burst and a couple others thats not so important.

If you want to nerf something to increase flag games 1. somehow reduce team hopping, 2 eliminate the priv freq, and just make two massive pub freqs. Those are the two things in my opinion that ruin the flag game.

^^ Why get rid of something that people like. I love the idea of increasing the flag gamse especially by increases in the rushing options. But please don't nerf the bty. It is a fun challange and one of the things people enjoy. It does ruin the zone. You can also make the jackpot start off rather large so people arent waiting so long to win and just have it increase by small increments. Rather than relying on the kills to build the jackpot.

Great job

Add more spam here

I say no. Lancs make plenty on other peoples kill and they dont have to waste a ton rushing, on firing needlessly. The plus side of the lanc is the higher nrg, the downside is less kill money. thats it.

The instance I was refering to WAS a mod hosted event, and was even. It was like being picked for middle school dodge ball. The captains did a great job. The moral of the story was we all had fun that day . . .until the server crashes.

^^??

I usully hang around long enough after respawn to make whatever money I know I will lose by rushing, then rep, rep, rep, burst. All I usually have to do is wait a second and Ive already made the $100 bucks back that I will most likely lose rushing, and dying.

Only Nietzsche can kill gods.

I think Sharp started a game a few months ago where captains actually picked teams before the flag game started up to a certain amount of people, and the rest were evened this could be fun every once and a while maybe in a seperate arena or something. I think the jackpot was jumped up to like 50k after the teams were picked to start the game going.

^ Amen to that brother

I strongly agree, I always love to base, but in the past several months Ive gotten used to the fact that sometimes there are basing games, and some times there are not. Why are there times when noone wants to base I dont know but thats the way it is and I keep playing so I can increase my ships and do better the next time there is basing going on.

sounds good to me

I agree with aqua on this one. Some of the items (cat core) in this case over looked, in such a way that people complain, but they really havent used the "new" item set. Everyone just needs to stop complaining so much and just learn how to use the new items. That said I think basing is a lot better now that more people have better ships, and know how to use the stuff that they have.

Why in the world would you nerf something that would mainly be used by the attacking team?

The new ammo system works exactly how it is intended to work. I can shoot for at least and hour, a few hours depending on what Im doing. Therefore the only downsides to buying ammo is that A: it costs a whole lot more money in the long run, escpecially if I am trying to attack a base, and B: it is harder to BTY, which is again exactly what it was intended to do. Eventually we will all get used to it though, and less people will complain, and things will feel like they did two months ago, before they changed anything.
