op2rules Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Ok guys, recently I was having a little talk with our good friends of hs. I'm going to cut the crap here, and get right to it. 2 resets from now (about 7 months from now) the minibase will be removed. Gone. Obliterated. Phased out. Cropped out. Remebmer the ammo system?!?! OMG YESS AMMO SYSTEM OMG WASN'T IT FUN GUYS??? FUN RIGHT? ... Oh did I forget to mention THE MINIBASE IS BEING F****** REMOVED??????? And so I asked the staff why... you know what my responce was??????? they said the minibase is poor gameplay and many people don't like it. So I wan't you guys, to tell the staff, why the minibase is so darn bad and that it should be removed Personally I love the minibase because it offers both slight basing for when no basegame is going on. It doesn't take away the fun from center, because you have the choice to go in there, and there are lots of people not in there. I even designed my own minibase with a few dead ends in it so like 3 freqs could all be in there at once. How cool is that? Ok even if it isn't, its going to be removed so you can discuss.

Kilo Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Well, that certainly was a calm and collected post that didn't make up anything that I said at all.
Corey Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 The mini base only encourages basing in center, with it gone there will be more basing... i think it might improve the zone to get rid of it.
Linear-Key Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Mini sucks, if we have to keep it the safezone should be removed at least.
Emit Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 I liked the ammo concept, not the system. I like mini. I think you should have an entity in the center other than empty spaces with random blocks. I think preferably 2+ entrances with some sort of holes like a rabbit den. Not too big though. I think center is not used near enough as it should, considering the size of the sector. The top is not used as much as bottom.
vetta64 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Do away with Mini it sucks. closing center in so there are places to "hide" as opposed just a large open space is not a bad idea though. BTW I think this should be in zone dev
Sharpflame Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 OMG aqua that drawing made my day. interesting "2 resets from now" OMG THAT'S ONLY 12 MONTHS-ISH no big deal anyways, but it does deserve to go, basing belongs in the non-center sectors
op2rules Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 Ugh then I guess I'm the ONLY one where who feels the mini should stay... oh well I tried... what more can I do?
Dr Brain Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 2 resets? 7 months? Heh. I'm the only one that decides when resets happen... and I usually don't have a clue when they'll be...
vetta64 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Is there a reason why we don't, and can we have advance notice for reset?
op2rules Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 I based the 7months on your 6month rule, on average a reset happens every 6 months, and were are about 1 month away from 1 reset, so then 6 months later its the 2nd reset w/no minibase.
Dr Brain Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 There's no rule. There was a 3-4 month average on the old item set, but that's no longer the case. And I still have no idea where you got the two resets from.
Exiili Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I can agree with removing minibase.But the ammo-system is just annoying, why would you want to put it back?
Suicide_Run Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Keep mini base so I can thor people when they base in it for easy exp
op2rules Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 Ok this topic is really an epic fail right now... just wow. I know there is no rule but thats why I said approximately 7 months from now, and I would say where I got the 2 resets from but certain people don't want me to. And the ammo system won't be put back AFAIK It was just part of my little rant
protocol_ Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 There's no rule. There was a 3-4 month average on the old item set, but that's no longer the case. And I still have no idea where you got the two resets from. He just likes to spread rumors. Mini is very annoying when one freq dominates it and mines the tunnel. If the mini is not going to be removed I would suggest a concept like the base in sector 3 in turf. The tunnels are wider and there are 2 entrances on opposite sides. Making a mini like this would assure that players can still try to bounty but at the same time be easily taken over.
Dr Brain Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Yes it is a rumor. The mini base is being nerfed with the intention of eventual removal, but all of your facts are *wrong*. The reasoning, the timeframe, etc.
Stibbymicto Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Yes it is a rumor. The mini base is being nerfed with the intention of eventual removal, but all of your facts are *wrong*. The reasoning, the timeframe, etc.Why make bombs and gun sell prices back to the way they were? It seems impractical to do so, except to stop people fomr changing guns and bombs multiple times.
Stibbymicto Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 glad you figured it outThat's the only reason?I could name MULTIPLE good reasons to keep it in. Besides, who cares if peope keep changing guns and bombs, that gives their ships personality and change.
Gar Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Mini is great. The devs of HyperSpace have ridiculous ideas that us players will just have to suffer through. Spoiler! --Click here to view--Every few months they get a new random 'crisis issue'. A few resets ago it was 'spam'. This mythical 'spam' was somehow 'bad' for the zone, so items were given a money cost. It doesn't matter that it's just a money drain and people still use items exactly the same - 'spam' is cured and we're all saved, right? Then last reset it was 'bountying'. Somehow 'bountying' was 'bad' for the zone, and we all had to suffer through the ammo system debacle. Now bountying is just plain off in bases and ineffective/rare in center. The only real place to get high bounty in center is the mini. Guess what? The new random 'issue' is how much the mini is 'ruining the zone'. Nevermind that alot of people like it and there are very few 'mini haters', and those who dislike the mini never explain why or give valid reasons. Nevermind that HS's population has dropped significantly thanks to multiple terrible resets, so that basing almost never happens, and that the mini is the only chance most people have to base these days. Nevermind that ships 3, 4, and 7 can only center in the mini and nowhere else. The mini is 'ruining the zone', so it's gotta go, right? We're actually having fun, why do the devs have to screw with what players are having fun with? It's popular, therefore it must go! At this rate, it looks like a few resets from now it's there won't be anything fun left at all. Edited January 7, 2009 by Gar
