Reset and new items

[Dr Brain]

It's about time we had a reset, and arnk's given us a new kick!@#$%^&* item set. Not much more to say...

[Shia' Tan]

where can we find out about this new item set?

[vetta64]

Is there any way we can have a timeframe of when the reset is exactly

[Rareitanium]

Right about the time you posted that reply to the topic, vetta.

I don't like this new system. I'm on the lowest freq with over 3/4 the players trying to kill me.

Could you switch it back to the 2-frequency game like before the reset?

 

Edit: And other freqs steal my kills and I don't get a reward. I actually bothered to post this because it happens too much to me.

 

Total Revision:

1. Item system stinks. Limited ammo is really annoying, and like what dan says, its not really customizable unless you have lots (and by lots I mean TONS) of money and exp. And really, how can a pea shooter blow up a ship?

2. Ships cost too little. Lancs should be the most costly because they are the most important to flagging, which is the point of the zone. Now a lanc is the third ship anyone can get. And horrible starting energy on WB.

3. M!@#$%^&* mayhem in the center. You cant go anywhere without getting killed.

 

I really hope Hyperspace returns to the way it was before this reset. (if there was a smiley with a little sign that said RIOT! then I would put it here )

I dislike the new item system, all of this seems more customizable, but in the end it isn't.

To Arnk and the rest of staff/dev who has helped implement this new system, good work.

People who seem to complain about new item system is those people who cant adapt and prefers a no brainer game.

 

Nice work and good job staff.

[Dr Brain]

We're going to give things a fair shake.

[Suicide_Run]

Brain, can you tell us the limit of how many things we can buy in the main categories? Like how many emitters/addons/capacity/mounts we can buy initially?

[Kilo]

2 for all of the above, but note that some Capacity items cost 2 Capacity slots.

 

Sorry guys, I had a nice little guide ready to explain all of this stuff, but it escaped being backed up when I moved computers..I'll see if I can write something up quickly today or something.

[vetta64]

Overall I think its a good start but there are a lot of new things to learn and I think it will need some tweeking. Good job so far

[Matrim Cauthon]

nice work, now i can really customize my lanc, and flagging seems more fair(as soon as more people get reps/thors/bursts etc.)

 

Now a lanc is the third ship anyone can get. And horrible starting energy on WB.

most ships have less stats btw, and lanc can be the 2nd ship people can get

[Suicide_Run]

Lanc isnt the best thing to get anyways since if ur lanc, ur not gonna get any kills lol

[Dismal Dan]

I guess it's not so bad overall, but I liked an idea that I saw Hobofighter come up with. He said that we should be granted 10% of the ammo of the people we kill. Not taken away form them, just granted.

[»D1st0rt]

Because ammo is so expensive?

[oid]

Or you could have greens that give you ammo when you pick them up.

[Linear-Key]

Why does killing someone only give 5 bty now? Is this to try to slow down HS's economy?

 

Edit: Also, maybe increase the turret limit by 1, so we have have a priv of 6 people, 5 turrets on 1 lanc.

Has anyone else noticed bounty dropping at strange increments? Maybe I'm missing something but when I was flying around in the middle of battle I noticed my bounty drop from like 15 to 14 (I'm a high roller baby) and sometimes I'm getting killed on 9 bty. Does it have anything to do with burning up ammo packs / is that normal under the new system?

 

I miss my old ships and whatnot but at least I get a chance to race from the same starting point as the rest of the players in the zone so I'm happy with the reset even if things are going to be a bit crazy for a while. Looking forward to the Oracle System

Cheers

no, just to make things a bit cooler, like in a first person shooter you kill someone and take their ammo

[Suicide_Run]

I prefer that we can buy it outside supply depots and wat not but at an increase price for "transportation" cost. But then again, it wont happen lol

 

Problem I see with greens is that ppl can tk each other for greens to refill their ammo.

i second that.

The reason for the drop in bounty, I believe, is because HS is now using a setting called something like "NearDeathExperience." When you reach around 1/10 of your energy or lower, it is counted as a "Near Death Experience" and your bounty is decreased by 1. There will also be a small red flare that appears beside your ship.

 

One useful purpose of this is so you can tell when you've almost killed someone, even without Energy Scanner.
