Call it Public Freq Friday?

Problem with different repel settings is that different clients will see different things, so a bomb may hit someone on your screen, but be in an entirely different place on his, leading to "omg hacks". The idea behind the packs is that individual decoys can't compete with individual thors. Packs help me balance that all out.

Not worth the time it takes to download. Feel free to replace it on your own computer though.
-
Gameplay is always being refined. Usually progress is held up by technical limitations, bugs and of course the lack of developer man-hours.
-
Sorry, shredder/phaser/disruptor already fills that niche.
-
Of course it's not fair. It's fun though.

Wow, lots of text that I'm only going to skim. Here's the deal: HS is, at the moment, changing quite rapidly. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the newbies were currently at more of a disadvantage than is desirable. However, I haven't actually determined that. You said it's changed since a month ago? What that means is that in another month, it'll be different again. Hopefully for the better.

I'm back. Dead tired. I'm gonna look over the forums, but I may not be in game for a day or two.

I have no intention of making the quan!@#$%^&*ies limited on anything but the VERY high end items. What will probably happen is that the basic stuff that comes on ships will have their buy/sell set in stone, but everything else will change price over time. Someone buys TacNuke: the price goes up. Someone sells it: the price goes down. No one uses it, the price slowly goes down to its base (not zero).
-
The main reason I've not increased it is that I'm not done changing it, and don't want people to sell it just yet.
-
Problem is that without maxspeed increases, nothing happens after 5. Now, maybe that's not a bad thing. I'll have to look into it when I get back.
-
Saion preposed this idea a few years back, and I'll admit that I've been thinking of something like it for a while now. I'm not going to go into any details just yet though.
-
Autoturret implementation is really warped. Maybe when I finish my point defense stuff I can look at rewriting it. Reactors don't need much tweaking, IMO. Armor can't change damage level on a per bomb basis. Armor doesn't stack well at the moment. So converters are a bad bad bad idea. I'm not sure I want to make L3 bombs available on the non-bombers. That FTL is cute. Have to call it the omega 13 though.
-
I do want to bring thorstorms back.
-
D1's idea may be possible, but I don't see a non-lame use for it.
-
I'm going to do some cool things with cloak+stealth when I get back.
-
In a word: it'll never happen.
-
It's a lot of effort for virtually no gain. We have quite a good array of weapons already, and I've never felt the need to have L4 at my disposal when designing them.
-
It's not impossible to upgrade things without a reset, but we've tended to wait for them in the past since it makes things a good deal simpler.
-
Not really a good idea for the packet size reason stated above.
-
Update your version of Java.
-
I haven't checked, but I believe that Boldot is correct, or at least on the right track. Closing topic.

Been here about a week. One more week to go. It's fun seeing how different things are here. Glad I'm not driving, because I'd be dead three times over by now. Nice, they say Osaka is a totally different culture there People standing on the right side of escalators? Craziness. Seems perfectly normal to me. Oh, and okanomiyaki is quite bizarre, but not exactly bad.
-
That "pull back" is your bounty going down. It's normal, and not much can be done about it, I'm afraid.
-
Osaka.
