I don't know u sure said it a lot of times, is that what makes it true? idono i think i pretty much get what your saying about all the items u have problems with, its just that I don't use a single one of them, any of the ones you say are overused/overpowered or any of the ones that u say are underused/underpowered. Which I guess just means I don't really care. No offense but it looks like you spent way too much time doing a bunch of research nobody cares about. Way too much research even. I know that sounds pretty harsh but I just think the item discussions are a little bit used up. Telling people what items to use and which ones are better or worse is never going to get them to change their mind. Ultimately each person is just going to figure out what works best for them over a series of personal tests, most of them in game and not in a private arena or whatever over-analysing everything. - AphexTwin

a Case in point yesterday when I was playing in flag games with the new stats report I watched Oid get 120 / 30 and 166 / 36 kill to death ratios in 2 consecutive games using Positron Gun on a Spider, that's a pretty big fluff if positron gun is just useless because of a combo with mass driver or whatever. Here's one of the more disturbing things I've witnessed as a relatively newer player in hyperspace: there's apparently some type of unspoken or made up rule by people called 'Safe Laming' where the mods get to drop thors on top of your head from afar like fucking prison wardens. we *should* have rules something more along the lines of like, people are allowed to use what items they like without being constantly badgered and told to use something different, and *gasp* NEW players should be able to experiement with different item types without being indoctrinated into some type of weird hyperspace religion that u guys are trying to create or something by bitching at eachother 24/7 about which item sets are the best and the only ones anyone should use, vs/. which ones are completely useless, nobody should ever use them, with no in-between ground. Seriously, ask yourself, out of maybe 10-20 new people who grace hyperspace in like, say, a year, how many of them are going to want to be indoctrinated and told exactly what to do and what items to be used by you? Maybe like 1? Maybe none? Maybe just maybe instead of bitching at eachother about items all the time u should be working more on ditching the 'noob' prejudice and the constant debating between 'pros' all the fucking time. It gets pretty fucking annoying watching you guys call eachother 'noob' after every single death or bitching about rep use after every single rep, etc. etc. the list goes on.

I'll make this short since whenever I say something people seem to become unwarrentedly angry almost instantly BUT... And I'm not trying to make anyone angry here but if u get that way so be it... I have found at least 2 examples of items that are supposedly 'useless' but I still seem to be able to carry a winning rec and win flag games etc. with them they would be: Jedlik Dynamo Positron Gun I understand that Unix doesn't use these items, however I have killed Unix and lots of other self-proclaimed 'pro' players using them over and over again, admittedly better in certain situational situations in game but come on. Look, I think my point here is that it doesn't do any good to get pissy and argumentative over what in YOUR opinion are the best items to use in game. I don't use any of the items that Unix preaches over and over again in game and now in the forums to be the best and I do just great. The other point is that just because Unix says certain items are the best and gets 3 or 4 other people to agree with him, sorry but that doesn't make it law. Like an unbreakable law of the fucking universe. And that's how people are acting. Sorry if it pisses you off that somebody isn't agreeing with everything you say or , even , might HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION THAN YOU. BUT THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. LOL @ U. - AphexTwin
