Very nice. Once i can actually afford those, I might think about the graph.

[Shia' Tan]

that explains alot. ty brain

[op2rules]

I don't understand it, ID costs more, but has a higher failure rate??

[Dr Brain]

ID is used for entirely different purposes. It's not possible to run with jump engines, for starters.

[op2rules]

Oohh, KK but where do I find out the information about all the ftl items that confuse me? On SS it says "faster than light travel" etc, kinda um... not descriptive?

[James1293]

use Iteminfo or just look on forum

...or ask ppl

what is jump for anyway?

As I believe the game indicates, it takes you to and from the hypertunnels (and normal space in each sector).

[Suicide_Run]

ID Drive = Solo use, meaning only the player who activates it can use it. Also, its faster than Jump if you want to jump from sector to sector

 

Where as Jump Drive, basically rips a hole allowing you and other players to enter in a short time frame to the tunnel or out of tunnel.

So how do you die INSIDE the id tunnel? where 20thors come outta nowhere and kill you, rather than engine failure bombing you when you type .?id [x] and what is the chance of that?

You get killed inside the ID tunnel if you stay in the tunnel for too long. Basically it's to prevent people from hiding or waiting in the tunnel.

[Dr Brain]

I seem to recall a 15 second limit. If you stay in too long, warp out, warp in, or otherwise misbehave, it kills you.

Ahh, that clears things up. And also, is there a certain length you have to p!@#$%^&* to get out of the id place? If you dont touch anything, you get warped when you recharge to full nrg, but i can reach the base by thrusting through the id tunnel. I was wondering how long it was.

[Boldot]

Get to the end of the tunnel.

It's pretty simple, you start on the right, and it has the exit warp near the end on the left side.

dr brain should make id tunnel mine proof xD cause i made over 200 bty once mining in id tunnel xP

like i just id in, mine and id out. wait a few seconds... repeate

Easy way to kill people with bounty:

?buy warbird

?buy string of pearls

?buy overthruster

?buy extra thrust

?buy extra thrust

?buy extra speed

?buy id drives

?buy antideath

 

Use all your energy and ID. Theoretically engine failure should kill you.

Wth are you talking about? Your refering to teamkiling using engine failure from ID? In that case, it's illegal.

[Dr Brain]

It'll kill everyone on your team, yeah.

[Matrim Cauthon]

question: when your attached to a turret and you id, does it kill your whole team, or does it still kill only you?

[Pity.]

Kills the whole team, it has a huge radius as well.
