I used to have semiwarp burners on my wb. They are great for quick sprints, but the nrg is way overused. For holding thrust and pressing forward once, i would lose about 200 nrg. I would of avoided a bomb or a string of bullets, but then i would be in a horrible position to fight. I think it should be changed by either:

 

Making the normal ship speed faster

OR

Using less nrg

OR

+1\+2 nrg\reactor nrg

Problem with this item is that it could very easily become overpowered. I wanted to make sure that couldn't happen, so I may have set the energy cost a little too high. At some point, I'll be tweaking things and hopefully semiwarp will be on the list of things I change.

Has no one noticed me laming in the center with semiwarp burners on a tacnuke terrier? blum.gif

 

I think the Semiwarp burners are much like the Salvo. While not underpowered, they're not used for what they're supposed to (movement and attack, respectively) but are still useful because of other reasons. Personally I think the name should be changed to "particle accelerator", but other than that, I think the Semiwarp burners are fine.

Well, that's inaccurate scientifically, the name would be better called Tunnel Engines, implying a quantum tunneling effect.

of course not, but "Tunnel Engines" don't sound as cool blum.gif

I"ve noticed that they are starting to get used on ad spiders to zip through defenses and brickwarp/burst. The momentum carries them a long ways.

Are you sure it's actually semiwarp burners?

 

Retro rockets are really overpowered on a spider, giving them the same maneuverability as javelins and sharks. It still looks like they jump around on your screen, but they don't move quite as fast.

i say it stay because it is the only thing good for spider otherwise its useless except for turreting lol but half the time u get owned doing that lol and its ez to take one out lol juss rush them with warbird and there out or even juss chase them a lil and wait till there nrg goes down lol

Death is talking about semiwarp, i have seen it done and surprisingly the semiwarp flies right past us.

 

What he said ^.

 

It's more effective than rockets when combined with ad since you wind up on the other side with full health and items.
