One reason teams give up so ez

[Traced.]

For some time now I have noticed a few like to thor !@#$%^&*, more so now that btying is neferd. 2 thors per life? Well not if you hit insert, buy 2 thors, then hurry back to the lanc before the safety takes your bty...People have become wise and turned on aw, so they can no longer do this.

 

However, nothing stops them from using doors to warp out and continue to thor...I think if bty in general is going to be nerfed, then buying thors should reset bty as well. It will help a lot of issues and stop a lot of non sense "stop thoring" comments. Some ppl don't care that its killing of the freq faster, all they care about if btying.

 

To be honest, i don't see how its that big of a deal to do this (IF YOU WERE ATTACKING) but to do so while defending is over board. I have seen bty get to about 180, from thoring alone

I don't see the point of the screen shots

[Traced.]

it shows how they were using the door to warp out

b/c of aw

[Sharpflame]

I agree with bounty reset on thor purchases. The new base set does have some doors in bases, so it will be even more useful to have bounty resets then.

I think it would be ok to remove them so the "Thor wars" end. Edited March 25, 2008 by Rivel

Or maybe it's because teams get "magically" stacked when flag games are on.

[omni]

Well I'm just reiterating some improvements people have mentioned thus far.

These are the ones I agree with.

 

Solutions:

 

1) Bigger/shorter bases, preferably without door warps.

 

2) Bounty reset when buying thors.

 

3) Cheaper/longer lasting bricks.

 

4) Better server.

 

Some other things I think would help:

 

1) Nerf radiating coils, but make it not a sig, making it easier to rush. (Possibly another armor that decreases active shrap damage)

 

2) Decrease Terr gun speed.

 

3) Lower Lanc max energy.

 

4) Allow 2 kinds of mounts, like the way 2 addons and 2 emitters are allowed.

 

5) Allow spiders to buy items that give more rotation. They cant have overthruster or maneuvering fins.

 

6) Increase ball rewards.

 

7) Better/more events.

 

Automatic team evener.

 

 

 

I'll add more if I think of any.

I agree with everything above ^

[Suicide_Run]

Bricks are cheap/long enough. Any cheaper/longer and we will be taking Tetris 101 again.

 

Better server requires more money that comes out of someone's pocket.......

 

Ball rewards isnt meant to be your main source of cash =/

 

You need someone to make an good event first of all. Then you need a mod to host it when there are people and it aint a flag game going on...plus prize is restricted to a certain amount.

Why not? They'd make hyperspace a lot better imo.

[Matrim Cauthon]

1.lancs dont need less nrg, they die fast enough without it, besides, rarely anyone gets zpm

2.agreed, terrs should not outgun spiders

Allow 2 kinds of mounts, like the way 2 addons and 2 emitters are allowed.

<--------its already this way

[omni]

No, currently you can have 2 mounts, depending on the mount, not 2 separate mounts.

 

For example, now you can have 2 defense mounts or 1 defense mount and 1 speed mount.

It'd be nice to have 2 defense mounts and 1 speed mount.

[MWarrior]

Wouldn't that make it 3 mounts? I'm confused lol.

 

1 defense mount and 1 speed mount = 2 separate mounts

 

What am I missing?

Edited March 26, 2008 by MWarrior

[Suicide_Run]

Maybe what omni meant was you can have 2 mounts, 2 emitters and can transfer emitter slots to mount slots like before?

 

Or...maybe just 2 different type of mounts?

 

Otherwise I dunno, he seem to post briefly and allow us to take a poke at what hes trying to say

[»D1st0rt]

1) Bigger/shorter bases, preferably without door warps.

The bases we use largely have to do with what submissions we receive

 

4) Better server.

if you're talking about crashes, we are fixing bugs all the time

 

4) Allow 2 kinds of mounts, like the way 2 addons and 2 emitters are allowed.

I believe there are converters for you to be able to get more mount spots? The idea is that you have to make choices about tradeoffs for your ship

 

6) Increase ball rewards.

increase goals scored <_<

 

7) Better/more events.

talk to a mod if you have a suggestion, this is mostly their deal now

 

Automatic team evener.

we've been planning one for a while, it's on the list

[Hiro]

4) Better server.

Lol, then Hyperspace must sure have a lot of bugs

[omni]

2 different types of mounts.

 

The only thing mods host anymore is trivia and race.

What about a little variety?

[aquarius]

stop thinking about the bty and realize its bad to have storms of thors when people do this

we dont need a bty reset on purchase of thors who cares if someone gets bty?

we need to create an interference period between warping, purchasing, then attaching or sumoning

 

module: stops the repeated purchasing of thors by allowing X amount of thors per minute based on the ships bombspeed

warbird would have slower thors but be able to use them more (slow thors rarely hit) while jav would have fast thors but doesn't get as many per minute

 

just a thought

[Suicide_Run]

Wont work as well as you think Aqua since people can just do the Thrust+Brake movement then shoot to make thors fly faster. Thou it would work on players that doesnt know this......

 

The only reason they host those 2 omni is because theres not much events available.....unless you want to make a map, set and a plugin to work with event then your stuck with race/bty/trivia.

[aquarius]

regardless X amount of thors per minute will work

[omni]

Siege mount 1 max?
