Take out new items?

[OrangeeoZ]

Bring back the old items and take out the new. I want more skills in this zone and not lame prox bombs, thrusting shredder/phaser, runners that run from one side to another then back...

 

Arnk, you did a good job on making those bombs. It was fun but it's too lame now.

 

Remember like 1 year ago when falcon missile was the best bombs and pulse laser was the best gun. Let's leave it at that please.

 

 

Basically, up the shredder/phaser +2 bullet energy

Take out the new bombs making Harpy, Tacnuke, string of pearls, space mines, and antimatter the only proxed bombs.

Make it so you can't vulch a person so lowering thrust for some of the sublights while adding speed.

rofl, you're kidding right? bombs/shredder/running have never been weaker. also this is a zone of variety, if everyone is using one weapon it's defeating the entire purpose of the zone, so this is more like it.

 

falcon is good, if you are having trouble against prox bombs it's your problem, they're pretty low damage and/or high fire delay/cost-to-fire. buy a shock matrix/wave disperser if they're troubling you so much. or just learn to dodge?

 

oh by the way: no

People always remember things as better than they really were. I *know* that the old settings/items were much lamer than the current ones.

[tcsoccer and neptune]

Are you talking about the terriers that had 2.4k energy, cloaking used no energy, and shredder was overpowered? I remember that.

 

Also the weasel that could have ZPM, H2 ramscoop, and had massive recharge, and was almost unstopable, so everyone had 200+ bty in the center? I remember that too.

 

What about the fletchette spiders on super fast turreting lanc's that got 2k+ bty every time they got a turret driver?

 

Or the lances that had 4k energy with ZPM?

 

I like the new ship settings, I just don't like consumables.

My current lanc has 4250 energy o.O

Basing, Yes.

 

Centering, No.

 

Bring back old centering but leaving the new basing.

or just get skill/appropriate armor

and play the zone for a while before making radical claims like you are. if people are using things like zephyr/yamato they are doing it at the expense of not having another sig, such as omega/flash/would-be-ampere, so they are a lot easier to pick off than people using those particular sigs who happen to be more opportunistic 99% of the time.

Should make Mezon and ZPM available for WB.

Woot! let's all have wbs with good speed, AND energy and recharge so they can lame even more than they do now and be harder to kill!

[omni]

But there's no SIG reactor for wb.

I think that's unfair.

there will be one, eventually

[Linear-Key]

Now that lancs have such low thrust, there's pretty much no more turreting

Tried to make a turret lanc. Even with a sig sublight it was next to impossible not to be slaughtered =\ Not to mention it's !@#$%^&* near impossible to avoid a brickwarp/coffin now. One rep holds you in place for 3-5 seconds >.<

While I don't agree with this post here overall, I can understand where he's coming from. I could be getting the names mixed but I think its zephr (or the lvl 2 bomb with prox & shrap) and the other lvl 2 with prox that he's referring to. It is extremely annoying (tho manageable) in center and there are javs running around with that vulching and running, lol. The jav is the new bty ship now and I suppose it's only fair to give them their time in the sun...

 

But don't add speed, nothing worse than a btyer you can't catch. They are hard enough to catch as it is and with the faster moving and harder hitting bombs, a jav can run backwards and own the bty hunters.

The jav is the new laming ship now and I suppose it's unfair to make them so lame, because it ruins the purpose of having a jav.

 

But don't add speed, nothing worse than a person with skill you can't catch. They are easy to catch as it is and with the faster moving and harder hitting bombs, a jav can actually do something, and not be free pray for wbs.
