11___________ Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 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 fasterORUsing less nrgOR+1\+2 nrg\reactor nrg Quote
Dr Brain Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 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.

Bomook Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 Has no one noticed me laming in the center with semiwarp burners on a tacnuke terrier? 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. Quote
BlueWyvern Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 Well, that's inaccurate scientifically, the name would be better called Tunnel Engines, implying a quantum tunneling effect. Quote
*rc 1223* Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 lol i dont like the semi-warp burners Quote

Deathmonger Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 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. Quote

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. Quote
*rc 1223* Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 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 Quote
Sharpflame Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 Death is talking about semiwarp, i have seen it done and surprisingly the semiwarp flies right past us. Quote
Deathmonger Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 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. Quote
*rc 1223* Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 semiwarp is not better than rockets for 1 it uses nrg super fast and once ur nrg is down 1 shot and ur dead juss set a brick or use bomb line its that ez Quote
Suicide_Run Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 The nrg to use the afterburners for semiwarp is too insane....its good for tiny taps but that doesnt do much. I think it would be better if the nrg would be lowered abit by like a quarter or 1/5th? Quote
11___________ Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Posted March 28, 2007 yea, when i had it i mainly dodged bombs, but found out it cost more to eat the bomb and recover the energy. it was best for getting through bomblines or dieing and flying through fire with ad to use a burst or brick. Quote
*rc 1223* Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 yeah it sucks badly i would juss rather get the 10k one lol forgot the name Quote
