Haven't seen PW host either. Not to say that he hasn't. I may have not been on if and when he did. Perhaps his only duty as jrmod is to degrant Cheese periodically.

SG as mod would be hilarious. He would talk about raping your mom while he degrants you for being a newb.

Not that I disagree with your statement, but the suggestion about spectating is ridiculously impractical :/ I will agree this tactic is less practical when you are just flying around center trying to kill anything randomly, but it's not so impractical when your hunting a player in center who has been owning you. When you spectate a player, you get to see their max energy, observe what kind of damage they take when hit by a particular weapon, observe their recharge rate, and see what items they have. If a player is on a spree in center and you are having trouble killing him, spectating him is not such a bad idea. All of the information displayed about the player you are spectating pretty much gives their build away. After a short observation you can come up with an "attack solution" that increases your odds of killing the player.

I don't use enrgy scanner because it frees up one of my emitter slots and like Kilo said, it's not that hard to gauge the enemies energy level. You can spectate a player to find out what his recharge and energy is like.

Banning people for milking in bases with epic BLs an bursting in bases with narrow corridors is a great way to improve the zone's popularity and growth.

lol @ greedy bitch

Can someone give me some criteria on how I should design these bases? Do I need to use a lv editor or can I go into paint and make a bitmap image. If I can use paint, how many pixels should the thickness of walls and corridors be?

That can be misleading though since bounties can be prized. Some simple arena broadcasted macros when someone gets their 10th, 20th etc kill would be cool and it would let noobs that don't know how to use ?target know that someone is on an uber killing spree and needs to be hunted. An example arena spree message would say something like... Killing Spree! 500:0 eSpO~ "Killing is my business and business is good." Something along those lines. Maybe a different message for each spree amount. Nice idea Weebs!

They just mad because when everyone was TKing like there was no tomorrow, Weebs came through and owned everybody and showed them how it was done. Everyone started crying and thats about the time the mass TKing stopped.

Cry more.

I like how everyone loves to cry about weebs but act like they don't tk. At the begining of the reset everyone was doing it. ALOT. Even now, you still have Nova Levi morons and Weasels in the base that have no business being in that kind of ship wallbombing the %^#$ out of their own team. Happens to me everyday. WELCOME TO HYPERSPACE

Just make a timer that specs everyone not on cheese's team.

I win everytime Cheese is on my team! Sorry, no fail here.

The powerball resets after x amount of time to keep it from getting stuck in the map somewhere or trapped in a base full of defenders. Having said that, the idea of "defending" the ball in the mini doesn't really work because the ball will just reset and thats a good feature that shouldn't be changed. However, if the goal was in the flag room of the minibase (and the minibase was a bit more intricate) it would create a lot more center action. Teams(especially privs )would fight for control of the mini base AND the ball. A few concerns though. You would have to reduce the reward for goals though so it doesn't become more profitable to ball in center than it does to flag. You would also have to figure out a way to keep players from abusing in the middle of the night by scoring uncontested goals over and over. Perhaps have a door/gate blocking the goal that won't open unless x amount of people are playing or like op2 said, make the goals $0 unless x amount of people are playing.

I get double kills in center all the time. Anyhoo this forum should be locked since nothing besides the map is going to get developed.

Yeah, inside the mini! duh.

Still doesn't change the fact that Weebles owns all of you.

The noobs that see 48 pop in HS go in and don't see anyone but can't figure out how to use esc+a aren't going to figure out how to use ?buy either and are going to leave anyway.

New Topic fail. I was told a module would need to be coded for a base duel arena to work properly in HS anyway so this will probably never happen. I am going to make some bases anyway and see. Maybe center just needs a more elaborate mini.

When I lanc, I always put /?attach in my team macros to give the noobs a clue.

I would like to request a base duel sub arena. 7 or 8 mini bases to choose from perhaps? I'll start my own base duel squad (I would think other players would too) and organize matches once a week if we can get this. Corey, I'll even help you design some bases if you would like. I think I remember HS having such an arena in the past and it was fun. I made this topic a poll to get everyone's opinion on the matter. Please vote.

This "special rep" has existed long before fields were developed. Explain to me why it would be harder. Is it because rep settings would affect all reps? Is there no way to easily make a seperate rep with different settings? I'm no expert on HS settings so school me.

It would be easier just to make the special rep. HS doesn't need any "new" fields.

Even a base duel arena would be nice and would also make squads relevant again.

instead of a field you could just have a special rep that freezes the enemy. kind of like in the Freeze event that red star used to have.
