Cheese is a psychotic toddler. Just mute him entirely and move on. Plus, Arnk rules.

THIS.

Yeah, Sharks are just irritating griefer ships. They pose literally no threat for any reason other than silly cloak leaking... meanwhile their team is annoyed the shark player is doing nothing, and the enemy team is annoyed that they have to keep x on and chase this stupid little ship all over. I think they need a total concept overhaul. Personally, I'd give them a very high bombspeed and take away cloaking. I can see them as tactical EMP deliverers, whereas weasels try to bounce EMPs in, sharks can get up close due to their small size and fire directly.

Holy crap. Nanomite Swarm takes 1500 kills + a kill for each death? I thought it was 'your deaths count as kills' and I was like hey, that's not too bad. But the way it really is is nuts.

Classic example of exactly what people are talking about when they bring up Arnk's ridiculous behavior. Nobody was being rude to you in my case or the OP's case... YOU came out of the woodwork and started with the inexplicable attacks. My 'wtf is with all the useless new engines' was first in pubchat and then a question to you once you responded. I spent the next half an hour calmly explaining myself to you as you insulted, wheedled, and basically thought you were being a badass and totally 'putting down a troll' - when you were actually just blowing everything out of proportion and twisting reality. Pretty much what you're doing now, actually.

Don't be ridiculous. Asking 'wtf is with all the useless new engines' in pub chat is an invitation for discussion, not a personal attack on anyone. You chose to warp reality and turn it into a personal attack on you. You did the same thing to the OP of this thread. Yes, mods are held to higher standards throughout the entire Internet. Yes, you are expected to be courteous. If you can't manage that, then you're expected to be silent. Mods directly contribute to the atmosphere and thus the longevity of a game community. What more proof do you need than people quitting because of you? You go ahead and bitterly tell us all to 'toughen up buttercup' as we leave, right up until nobody but angry, aggressive, and obnoxious players like you are left. Oh wait... lol...

Yes, the mods in Hyperspace have always been one of its biggest problems. I've always been of the opinion that if Dr Brain really doesn't give a flying crap about the zone like he says, he should hand it off to someone who will actually take care of it. He and the rest of the mod staff need to face certain realities - which they won't, because those realities make their callous attitude inexcusable. It's cognitive dissonance. They don't want to face the truth. YES, ABRASIVE MODS ARE A BAD THING. YES, ABUSIVE MODS ARE A BAD THING. YES, ARNK HAS BEEN A DOUCHEBAG FOR AWHILE. I actually came up against this myself. Something happened to Arnk IRL that filled him with anger and made him quick to start crap with people. I noticed because I used to talk to Arnk sometimes, and he responded like a normal human being. He was actually an interesting and nice person. Then, after a few months gone, I came back, and noticed that there were several new engines that did nothing interesting and were generally underpowered or pointless. I said, 'wtf is with all the useless new engines?' after which Arnk erupted on me in a positively Vesuvian fashion. He completely ignored what I was actually saying, instead willfully believing that I was somehow insulting him. He was cursing, screaming, personally insulting me, and generally acting insane. My experience almost exactly mirrored the one posted by the OP in this thread. It's one of the major reasons I haven't come back to Hyperspace, his kind of insane reversal in personality and his aggressive attack of literally anyone that questions even the slightest thing in the zone. Now some of you may ROFL and LOL and say GOOD RIDDANCE because you don't like me or because you're all mostly pieces of shit, but you should at least recognize that Arnk has become unbalanced, and something needs to be done about him. Maybe exile him for awhile, let him cool off. Using Hyperspace as his place to explode on people without consequences is a pretty bad idea from everyone's point of view.

It was probably Arnk over-reacting to somebody innocently asking why he put in a bunch of useless reactors 'Useless? I'll show you useless, you ungrateful jerk! Try using your reactors with the zone down! AHHH!!!'

of course it does. The best way in the game to make money is to make a new name, get in a lanc at 100 xp, and never fire another shot. Just sit and leech $40-$70 a kill. Totally retarded that as a 12k xp player I am basically barred from making any more money. The amount of money you get at that level is negligible to none, while the money you get as a newbie is huge.

No, the reason privs can't be allowed in HyperSpace is the borked item set. Transwarp, lightning fields, coffin makers, and brickwarping exist for almost no other reason than letting rich old vets grief pubs. Yes, brickwarp isn't a problem now, but any rich ass who feels like it can hop in a cloaking shark, TW to a flag game, and die over and over until he finally lands a coffin on a team. GG cleared. Think it depends on skill? No, because the rich ass can just do it again and again and eventually your flag game WILL bust. And for anyone who wants to respond with a variation on 'cry more' or 'get skill', well, you're an idiot. This is a simple assessment of game design. I guarantee you nothing you can do could stop a TWing cloaking shark trying to coffin you. Either he will get you eventually, or all the attention you focus on him gets you killed anyway. Let me rephrase what proto is saying... 'when there are only 4 people in the zone it's possible to have fun at all because the mini exists'. There we go. Centering is the most boring and slow thing I've ever experienced in a game. Please don't try to make it a mainstream activity. Everything that made it interesting, like bountying, turrets, and mini, have all been raped.

Just give him a mil, who cares

Too bad Arnk had to go and remove a great aspect of bomb design by setting all the shrap levels... he could have just set some, he didn't need to set all. I say too bad, because the other changes all rule.

First off, it's not a macro. I type it every time. Second, it's not a comeback. I really do consider you dumb as hell, and I am asking you not to contribute your pointless and shortsighted comments.

Oh wow, you thought of one single instance where higher recharge helps you RECHARGE for a spam weapon. Too bad that's not what I'm talking about at all. I'm talking about sacrifices for extra +recharge and how they aren't worth it. Nevermind that the combination of a warbird and mass driver is ineffective regardless. Corey, don't talk. The internet has enough retards, ty. Protocol_, don't talk. The internet has enough retards, ty.

Emit, don't talk. The Internet has enough retards, ty.
