Annoying me to !@#$%^&*.

I banned him from the forums shortly after this topic was started.

And you say my names are silly... Yeah, I'll change the Steam engine and the HOMER to something else. Maybe something from your list, though nothing stuck out for a reactor on my brief pass

Such as blowing up in the shooter's face?

Mods can't crash the zone, and I don't care enough to bother.

I just tweaked a few things to try and tip it even further in the newbie's favor. Read the news file for more info.

Trash talk doesn't mean swear and teach the younger members new words.

Removed... again.

Agreed. Usually the only people that have a problem with them are people that only started recently and have no idea how uncommon they acutally are.

Fusion Reactor: Basic reactor that increases both a ships energy and recharge. Mezon Capacitor: Boosts a ship's maximum recharge for a small energy penalty. Ion Drive: A basic drive system that is built for an even distribution between rotation, speed and thrust. Overthruster: Allows a ship better dodging and reaction time at the cost of lower top speed. H2 Ramscoop: A basic drive system that additionally provides increased recharge. IceFire: This item provides maximum top speed, but sacrifices maneuverability. Gravity Trap: A utility which allows you prevent people from warping out of your range. Minesweeper: Allows your ship to see mines on radar. Useful for avoiding traps. Missile Tracker: Shows bombs on the radar. This item can help to more accurately guide salvoes. Energy Scanner: This item will show enemy energy levels in addition to the already displayed teammate energies. A cloaking system that can hide you from radar and/or vision. Enhanced Sensors: Allows your ship to detect ships using active camo (both stealth and cloak).

I formatted it for 1024x786, and it was a pain fitting all that info into even that small an area. Doing it for less is just impractical.

Lol. It would have to be for everyone, I'm afraid. No good way of making it for just one person (without everyone thinking you're cheating). And if you make it for everyone, it'd be very confusing, I think. An interesting idea, but not one I'm willing to implement at the moment.

Here's a list of items that still need descriptions: Pulse Laser Flechette Gun Plasma Cannon Shredder HE Missile Space Mines Fusion Reactor Mezon Capacitor Ion Drive Retro Rockets Overthruster Nuclear Booster H2 Ramscoop IceFire Enhanced Sensors Active Camo Gravity Trap Close Combat Getaway Pack Wall pack Tunnel Runner Siege Pack TW Token TW P!@#$%^&* Minesweeper Missile Tracker Harpy Missile Sensor Pod Extra Utility Energy Scanner Summoner Field Launcher

I've never been trying to make Hyperspace appealing to other people. I've always been trying to make it for myself. That means that if you have a problem with it at the very core, you'd best move on now. That applies to both you and the one person that agrees with you (and he's really talking about something else). I don't bend to pressure, as hundreds of players will attest. There will always be a class gap. That's human nature at work. Don't try to stamp it out; instead channel it into the game. Earning better things is fun. Having less reward for time invested is just insane. Why not remove the buy system altogether and make HS just one more EG copy (though with more frequent crashes)? Thank you for your comments. Maybe you understand the zone better now, but if not, I wish you the best of luck in whatever zone you move to next. Yeah, that's still weird.

I'm not opposed to adding an item to fill a niche, but I don't know if this level 3 shrap gun would do anyone a service.

I took two of your descriptions, the rest were lame or flawed. Discussion over. It doesn't matter if you understand things yet can't communicate. It comes down to the same thing. Your descriptions were wrong.

Mook, try playing the zone. It's getting tiring having to keep in mind that you haven't even played with the new items when I read your posts.

I've added the following descriptions (feel free to post improvements, though) Falcon Missile: A standard bomb used primarily in dogfights to catch an opponent off-guard. TacNuke: Can you say boom? Quantum Reactor: An upgraded version of the Fusion Reactor, this item is a must for anyone looking for a balanceßbetween energy and recharge. ZPM: The Zero Point Module is best suited for anchor ships and hit and run Levi's. It gives the maxßamount of energy possible but has a slower recharge rate than other reactors. Antideath: Brings a ship back to life where it died once every two deaths.ß ßThis item stays on the ship permanently. EMP Shockwave: A bomb designed to stop recharge in other ships. It inflicts minor damage, but can be used toßsoften up groups of enemies. Beam Array: A set of low-powered lasers designed to flood tight spaces. Lightning Ammo: Low spread/lifespan, accurate and high power attack field. Needler Ammo: Low accuracy but decent power attack field. Searing Heat: A wide spread, long living, but low power attack field. 9 Down, 33 to go Oh, and if I didn't add yours, it's probably because I'm a bit picky. Try wording it a little better and inclue usage tips.

I can't change the bullet alive time per gun, I'm afraid. It's exactly the same for all bullets.

Basically a plasma cannon without multi?

And remove the incentive for buildup? I'm not going to change the zone for your whims, 13th.

If having more money means having more access to items and such, then there's no way it can be fair. Yes, we could make everything free, but like I said, that's not gonna happen. It has always been like this, and yet we still have plenty of players. I'd say that people care more about fun than they do about fair. And earning better things is fun.

As a function of percentages, it stays pretty much constant, actually.
