You removed enough that it does not make sense to dedicate your lanc with that setup. If you get coffined you die. You might be able to get out but chances are you are dead. And after ad you are dead again. With prior setup you had good chance of getting out. I still died in many coffins even with prior 'overpowered' setup. And after ad if used repells right could get out of alive but very hurt.

coffin is way over powered. Which needs way over powered protection. Games should have teams with flags in base, other team comes in and tries to battle to flag room. Team inside base tries to push other team out. Killing the lanc short circuits the game. It is supposed to be somthing that is very hard to do. Not fly by and ?field and done.

Close to what i used to have, tok + solar + parallel + coils + kinetic, 100% recharge and could usually fully recharge between rushers. Coils now no longer really help with coffins, (biggest clearing item). So team with players who know how to coffin are now op'ed. It takes a while to learn how to coffin. And those players usually group together. They can sit and toy with other team. Let them in and get nano kills. As they approach the fr they say is it time to clear em? if enough ppl say yes the go out and lay some coffins and laugh. Good times for them, bad time for newbs.

Yes, I have see many good flag games ruined by bricks. Teams are even (which does not happen often). It is a slug fest where one team has control, then the other gets it. Then somoene bings the brick spam, makes what was a great game into a horrible one.

Bricks are horrible, the harder they are to use the better. Bricks should have a cooldown. Last thing the zone needs is easy access bricks with no cooldown.

There is a bug with the ripper turret. When drifting the turret shoots a bullet every .4 seconds (should be every .1 seconds) C:\Program%20Files\Continuum\screenshots\screenshot4.PNG When moving turret shoots a bullet every .1 seconds (like it should) C:\Program%20Files\Continuum\screenshots\screenshot5.PNG

Was now just messing around in a 2 vs 1 fg, trying to get one started. Got a third person to join and evener insisted on making it 3 vs 1. Everyone had over 10k exp, team with 1 person had 14.6k exp, other team had person with more, one the same and one less. Please fix it so evener does not stop flag games from getting started.

Can you create some more mount types that dont contain repells so have some more options for extra mount?
-
If the number of deaths before spec is a variable could set it very high. After you die you arrive in safe so the auto specing has no value. In svs it removed afk people from the game. not sure if any other forced specs, like speced for not flagging will crash it.
-
found a bug. If you die 5 times w/o shooting the systems auto specs you. If you have a turret when this happens, zone crashes. I was able to repeat the crash 2x with lancaster and ripper turret. I then tried with wb and no turret, it speced me w/o crashing.
-
spidernl, Can you do away with the Repel Mount item? Is it some vestage from the past? After buying extra addon there is not much you can do with because most mounts include repells and the Repel Mount tag. Moreton and combo include repels but not the Repel Mount item type. But cant buy 2 defense mounts and an evasion mount because they both contain the 'Repel Mount' item type.

transwarp key is one of the big reasons resets become necessary.

I have been playing with this setup this reset, all of last reset, and the end of the reset before that after got some good advice from cfx on how to lanc. But you will not see me in it any more, most i will give you is an evoker, I may die alot but at least i will have fun while i am alive. Better dieing having fun in evoker than being bored in lanc. I have not seen any fg's with lancs since the nerf, unix, pnut where are you? we need the expert lancs here and starting fg's. I am looking foward to bursting you...
-
a sucideing wb can release 3 bursts before it dies, after ad release 3 more. if total dam for 1 burst is 4160, that wb just released 25,000 worth of damage into the area. So only need 15% of the bullets to land and lanc dies. With old setup burst bullets did 74 damage, they did hurt. Now with coils + kinetic burst bullets do 120 dam, basically same as L1 bullets. Guessing that reduces the 25k dam by 4 for about 6k of damage. Well enough to kill anything.
-
the 3 biggest burst abusers ring in. I just dont think an anti death in the right spot where you live for all of 2 seconds means you should get to kill the enemy lanc.
-
Nerfing coils and kinetic is a mistake. Please restore coils and kinetic to what they were before. The burst is the most powerful weapon in the game, if anything is to be nerfed it should be the burst, not the protection from it. Lancing is one of the most boring jobs in the game, as evidenced as no one wants to do it. I have found a way to lanc and it be fun. That is being burst proof and fighting any ship that comes within my guns range. I try to eat their bursts to protect my team, and I rather enjoy watching them blow up and benefit alot by eating their green. Now that I am no longer burst proof i will no longer be lancing. Its just not fun to hide from every ship that leak or sneaks up from behind. I may even quit all totally if the bursts get to out of hand (like they are early in resets before people can afford protection)

if you worked it the same as shields where once your energy runs out you need to wait for it to recharge fully before you can use it again i think it will be enough of a penalty. But if also did engine shut down should be a short one (1-2) seconds.
-
I like the idea, i would rather see it as 2 energy bars though. The origional bar for health/hull integrity (what we know today as energy) and energy (what you are calling heat). I think you could re-use the shield energy bar for this, and if you have shields then you are using your energy in both offense and defense. Not sure i like the engine shut down when out of energy, and how will thrusters/ab work in the new world?

Why large jumps in newbie population are bad for the zone...

Because there is no good armor till you get to adam, and it takes a while to get there. If you play in center you change your armor based on who is out there. And may do it multiple times a day. I have not been centering that much but i will still alter my ships when basing to counter what i see there. I will swap guns too. In base i can perma spam pea, but if have rushers with exo need to change to pulse or plasma. May need to stop to recharge but can then mow down the rushers. -
I still mostly enter the zone, type ?flag and go. There are some exceptons when starting a flag game and trying to be on team with someone else. The thing that bug me is when you end up on the inexperianced team you see experianced people trying to hop to the other team. Flag games would be fine if everyone just ?flag and go and if they see unbalanced teams hop to the other side. Coding an evener is not easy. How do you tell if a pilot is experianced or new. Cant go by exp, cant go by win/loss. I am not even sure if you can go by flag game win/loss ratio. Only way i can see an evener actually working is players vote others skill level, maybe 1-3 scale of (new, average, above average) who is good and who is not, and the evener uses that to determine weight. But even that is hard with out the evener being active and moving people from team to team.

So true unix, so true. Just not in your control.

i agree, i played before rolling ships, it came out and first thing i did was turn it off. I have no rolling ships, no stars, backgrounds. I dont even play with the sound on.

Bringing back the thrills of runwinning, sneaking-cloaks into base, etc....

Basically it is like that today, no one uses x, or anti. When i am in the game not lancing my next ship i seem to be in is the lanc defender, it has oracle, so i have l2x and aw on all the time. It is not often that i get to play other ships because no one wants to turn x or anti on.
