Thors are L4 bombs. They can never cause more damage than a L1 could. Only the blast radius is larger.

Fixed.

The point isn't to build up money. It's to have fun. Having enough money to buy everything six times over isn't fun. We've always reset. We always will. Most people enjoy the reset, but every time we get a few grumblers. Have fun with your new zone.

We'd like to start promoting squads here in hyperspace. To help squads along, we're offering the following rewards starting within a couple of weeks (to give you all time to organize): Squads with at least 5 active members (minimum experience level to be determined by us) will get the following: One fully equipped Lancaster with FTL of their choice. No alien tech included. It will be given to the squad captain (or designated player), so make sure that he's active and won't be going AWOL.

Money and ships have been reset.

I don't think there's a specific rule against it, but the lameness one should cover it.

Yes. It will never happen.

We don't do ban duels in hyperspace. Sorry.

That blue one in the middle looks awful.

Spacing doesn't look like it falls on 16px boundaries.

09-08-2007 Upgraded Hyperspace to 1.4.4. This update requires Continuum 0.40.

Continuum 0.40 is now required for all players in hyperspace. This should remove the problems we've been having with cheaters. Here are two links to download it: http://www.trenchwars.org/downloads/Continuum040Setup.exe http://www.subspacedownloads.com/?act=file&fid=1335

Weak. Be a map nazi. If you don't like it, chances are other people won't like it either.

I'll assume your first language isn't English and let you off without a witty comeback.

I'm usually the one that deletes posts in the General forum. If it's name calling garbage, it gets trashed.

Allow me to banish this post to the abyss I call trash talk.

Most of the moderators play aliased. Chances are good that it wasn't cerium that banned you.

Cerium has dev access in the zone, so chances are he wasn't cheating. You saying that you're cheating is entirely different from you saying someone else is cheating. It's just common sense.

Every time I string the letters forming reset together, someone always leaves me a horrified message saying "OMG i hurd u wer going 2 reset r ships n $$ plz dont cuz i wurked hard, told me you were resetting ." So I try to be careful with my wording to minimize confusion.

Some things need to be implemented before the next reset. I'm not saying what or when, nor have I told anyone else, so rumors are untrue.

I think we've already got diversity, just not balance between the items. Your system is going to have the same issue with energy scanner that the current system has, namely that everyone needs one to be compe!@#$%^&*ive. You'd also find yourself falling into the slot trap because of game restrictions. You can only have 1 SLD, 1 bomb, 1 gun, 1 brick, 1 x-radar, etc.

The "basics" could be implemented in an hour or two. Redoing the weapons would take much longer. I've never liked the idea of ship affinity, really. Auto buy can be dangerous, IMO. It has to be really simple to set up, otherwise we'd be better of just letting players can use a macro. Arnk and I were working on an ammo system similar to the one you mentioned at the end of your post. but... All that being said, I'm convinced that your system will have the exact same balance problem that the current one does. Namely, no one is there to continually tweak everything so that there's no one best configuration.

I know the symptoms. I don't know the cause.

Fixed. Don't know what was wrong.

If we have one, there's no reason not to have both.
