Don't worry am setting up a forum and website, sponsor is going to cross promote it with there products. Samgunn

Well onward and upward have a sponsor hopefully lined up to cover server cost, so one more step closer. Samgunn

Not much point to a subzone without a bot for adjusting greens, i will wait till i get a full zone set up. Samgunn

Talked with a friend who has the tech know how today, so hopefully might have a chaos 1998 zone server set up soon. Samgunn

Get rid of bonuses altogether The hole concept makes no since e.g the more someone plays and the better they are at killing people the more weapons you give them to kill people. dose not exactly encourage new players dose it. Samgunn

Maybe people have just had a taste of the real thing and realised how fucked up things are now! Samgunn

Would anyone be interested in a zone being setup that was Chaos SVS 1998 settings with a bot to handle the problems associated with low pop but in all other ways svs 1998 settings? Samgun

Ok have been playing with the new setting. Bot changing things as pop changes seams to be working nice. But the rest of the setting are shit, game feels like the only way to get a kill is wait for someone to over shoot, apart from checking in to see if things have changed I'm not playing anymore this reset. I vote for svs 1998 with the bot changing start bounty and greens to handle low pop. Samgunn

Well i would like as close to svs 1998 setting as possible, but i know that is not possible. Greens need to be more spread out, though keeping them bunched keeps all the players bunch on small pop witch makes finding someone to kill faster, though they are a little to bunched at the moment. faster to get into safes are a must, i play most from work and when i have to do something it has to be done then, witch now means letting my ship drift, would much prefer being able to fly it into a safe and park. i know some people will complain about people running to safe but so what, chase em till they hide i say. Samgunn

worked it out i have to press the fn key befor the f1 to disable the short cut. Samgunn

ok fixed that problem, now when I'm in game and press f1 or f2 i drop out of the game. they acct as short cuts to other programs on my computer not game commands samgunn

I killed my computer and lost my password anyway i can get it sent to me? samgunn

I like the SVS settings, i vote for leaving them the same and just tweaking them for low pop, up the number of greens as pop goes down. every thing else was good, people were valuing what they had greened up and would stay in a group of yellow friends for protection, noticed fellow yellows would come to your help if you were in trouble and running hard. there was the lovely sight of a very large turrent falling apart when its driver got nailed and everyone one jumping on the gunners before they could remember how to use there arrow keys. some of the people who i thought have been cheating, were dyeing and even more were not flying around like they were invulnerable they would turn and run. i never like the double bounce on the lance, i like bouncing it around a corner and knowing it will then explode. samgunn

I like the SVS setting. People are greening more. Turrets are not an imposable to kill supper weapon, to try and avoid, you can hunt and kill them. Even some of the players that are imposable to kill and have seamed like they are cheating are killable. having to work for your greens seam to have people suicideing less and playing more of a team game only problem seam to be as pop drops off greening becomes a problem. Is it possible for the number of greens to go up as the population goes down? I vote for leaving these setting in and just tweaking them a little bit as needed. Samgunn

[Ed: emphasis mine] Well then don't miss the SVS settings this weekend. --hallu Im bloody well looking forward to it. Samgunn

I have noticed game play has changes since the mine time has changes, no more people mine reping. I hate being min repped but i hate the game being changed even more, put it back the way it was. There should be safes easily available as people need to park there ship quickly some time, e.g playing at work and the phone rings, playing at home and the family needs something. Who care if some people will run to safe every time they get in trouble better then them escqing. quite frankly i have noticed that population drops off whenever people start dicking around with the setting, Have you ever though people just like to play the same game they have played for 10-15 years. change the map every now and then, change the flag game every now and then, change the bonuses every now and then, but leave the ship and zone settings alone. i know whenever some idiot comes along and messes them up i just stop playing till some one else comes along and puts them all back.
