Test Arena?

[Suicide_Run]

Heres a suggestion:

 

Make a test arena that has nothing to do with the player's shipstats/money/exp. Make all ships, items and wat not at zero buy and sell price.

 

People can go into arena and check out wat a specific item can affect the ship and play around with ship layout until they find one that suits them then they can go to pub and buy the real thing.

 

This allows players to see what an item is actually like without the risk of buying it and not liking it and then losing a chunk of money (if the sell price is really different). This would be helpful for players who doesnt have tons of cash to buy and sell items alot.

It's technically difficult to do something like that. You'd find the items in the pub arena would quickly get out of sync with the test arena.

i would imagine a lot of players would play in the test arena exclusivlely

<---for awhile.

if one is made, you might want to make a time limit or something so it doesnt overtake the regular one

good: new players would be able to learn what to buy and what not to buy

 

bad:lose all the fun of buying things and having to save up to buy things

if there was some way to make it un-synchronized with the main zone, i think that this would be good.

Or just a better description of the items.

Ex: guns should say yes/no about bouncing and multi in the description somewhere.

we already have the technical information, just type ?iteminfo , gives all the info about the item in a simplified but not too simple fashion

yea, when u do that ur chat is filled up and you have to press esc to see it all, and people will chat and you have to keep typing it. the iteminfo and shipstatus etc are bad for being in pub text, maybe somewhere else? F1?
