Reduced bullet weaknesses on Slipstream.

Slightly reduced Phoenix' delay & energy use.

 

March 06 2011

Let loose the Nanomite Swarm.. For those who pay for it anyway.

Increased Quad Core's energy bonus to +5.

 

As always, changes can be reverted, turned around 180 degrees, exploded and imploded on demand.

[PlayWolf]

Bringing the 8th ship back..

Wait a minute..!

Tweaked Slipstream yet again, reduced weaknesses/drawbacks.

Edited March 9, 2011 by spidernl

[P Nut]

If Nanobites really add +1 to the counter for every death you get it is not worth it. Parasite is already a pain to get 1000 kills in and Nanobites weaken your ship even more than Parasite does. Having to get 1500 kills plus one for each death is going to be near impossible.

[Cheese]

dont forget that the reward sucks too

[P Nut]

Oh, and what about deaths you receive from buying things or losing bounty?

[omni]

You should make nanomite differently. Like.. Get 50 kills to get the molecular shell or whatever its called. And if you die, it resets all your kills. Basically a reccing kind of item.

March 11 2011 (I think it was)

Increased Sharppinger's energy cost by 1.

Increased Quad Core's energy bonus to +5.

 

March 13 2011

Set Slipstream & Semiwarp's sale values back to what they were: $22300 & $24700 respectively.

 

As far as Nanomite is concerned.. it'll be doable. You'll just need to pay a little more attention than you have to while killing

for Parasite. @P Nut: I don't think those deaths are considered 'real' deaths, so no. They're just changes in statistics.

Soo.. to say thor deaths on attach, wall bombed as you attach, lamed in center, slow as it is you can not get away....

 

Seems possible to me.

[Unix]

If you cant think of ways to get more kills than deaths, that's your loss

[PlayWolf]

slow as it is you can not get away....

 

Seems possible to me.

 

Good luck.

You still have a reactor, 2 addon slots and other items to make your ship strong enough to survive wallbombs and thors.

Plus, I realize everyone will go all hate-hate-hate on you for doing it, but you can just hide behind your team.

You're the guy with Nanomite after all.

 

The center part is true. There's always turreting if you're desperate, of course.

 

Why am I telling people how to play again?

[Gradius]

Because there isn't an addon or emitter to really protect you from explodepixels or am I missing something? Most I've seen was parallel relay which adds on explodepixels. Can't wear armor so wave disperser is out of the question. Kinetic I'm not fully sure about. Turreting is only possible if there is a Lancaster and not many people are willing to center with one. If I am missing something let me know.

The explodepixels are survivable. You'll just have to make sure you're not the one taking the thor hits .

And I'm sure people will give eachother some help with Nanomite by turreting and the likes.

If they don't, not my problem.

[PlayWolf]

Your problem, is that you created it!

I mean.. flag game.. people are going to thor a storm... nearly impossible not to be in a thor blast.

The current owner(s) of Nanomite seem to be quite capable of surviving and killing.

[Unix]

Last I checked, bomb damage on nano stayed the same. Only difference is that bombs have a larger area of effect because of the splash radius. Even then, the max it can do is 770.

 

Also, your energy/recharge is staying the same. The only thing that's different is you cant get out of the way as easily. If your main complaint is about thors, you arent understanding what bullets are actually going to do and how that's going to change the game style while you have nano on.

[omnomnom]

Nanomite Swarm pretty much takes camping to get 1500 kills. We need a parasite for rushers ya know? Maybe the reward would be like

Also Combo Mount doesn't count as a repel mount

[Cheese]

isnt burstfaggotry bad enough as it is?

 

why not just make it itemmax +5 instead

 

better yet lets give everyone 10 repels with power strip

Added the Nacelle System.

[PlayWolf]

the max it can do is 770.

 

you arent understanding what bullets are actually going to do and how that's going to change the game style while you have nano on.

 

Well prox doing max of 770 damage 2 thors kill. Possibly even harpy going to do 770 damage max.

 

Bullets are less annoying then bomb splash, is in why I didn't complain about bullets.. understand what i'm complaining about or don't comment! o:

 

Besides I know about the bullet damage that is on nano.

Bomb splash isnt annoying if all you're doing is staying back. Your recharge and energy arent touched, so you can setup your ship for either high energy, high recharge or balanced. Either way, you'll be fine as long as you're not being stupid.

[spidernl]

Warbirds, Javelins and Sharks are the guys you should feel sorry for. And lancs to some extent, but that's not so much survivability as lack of killing ability.

[omni]

Please less annoying grind items. Make something difficult to obtain, but not only obtainable by playing hours every day.
