also, you 'fixed' pd because it 'fired through walls'

you can probably make coffins stop firing while people are dead

you can also make it stop bursting people that arent within the lvz boundaries, because i know you know it fires at people just outside them

 

There's not a whole lot to gain by fixing those things. The reason I 'fixed' PD was that it would fire at dead players' locations over alive players, which is pretty bad. It also tried to shoot at people through walls when there were players a little further away from it that could actually be hit.

 

Those minor quirks with Coffin Maker don't really change gameplay that much.

 

Edit:

Also, to Unix:

 

Don't know where you've got your numbers from, but you clearly haven't tried some of the items you're trying to call underpowered there. Unimatrix Shield is closer to overpowered than underpowered by far. It beats Solid Nutronium at both l1 bullet armor and bomb armor, and is decent against bursts. It can also be used on basically any ship you want it on whereas Solid Nutronium isn't. The drawbacks of -1 energy and -1 recharge are also particularly minor on those small ships.

 

Semiwarp isn't underpowered, it's just a niche item. It's a centering item for terriers/weasels which also have the option to go for Nuclear Booster, which is basically an 'easier way to go really fast'. Avidyne and Impulse will likely get a small boost sometime soon.

 

You're comparing usage rates of a Signature, niche emitter (Oracle) to Field Generator? What? How can you even compare the two, never mind comparing the usage rates. I'm pretty sure Power Strip is used more than System Optimizer as well.

 

Nadion and Polaric are just new and underrated. I've been used Polaric for a while now on my warbird and if you know how to dodge the occasional Falcon Missile, it's pretty good. The only thing I would consider reducing on it is the burst damage. Nadion has already received a pretty significant buff a while ago. +4 bulletdamageup and +7 explodepixels really isn't a major drawback compared to the +1 energy it offers over ESPER.

Got the numbers from the HS website.

 

I would imagine some of those items might possibly be niche, such as Oracle and possibly even Semiwarp. Nadion/Polaric have been out for a while, I'm sure plenty of people are aware of it.

 

And what about the other items?

Omnomnom Alien Tech

 

After typing the command ?omnomnom grants one random member of your team cloak and stealth and the message "omnomnom". Lasts until death. If the member already

has cloak or stealth gives $100 for each instance of cloak or stealth as well as additional messages of "omnomnom". 200 second recharge.

I want it. If it was at, sig, 500k ish, 12000 exp ish, would be a great trade for antideath for something like a spid.

 

Alas, I can hear Spider already: "but it's not serious!!"

I have to admit, that's actually a fairly good idea. The only problem is that you can't really give people an "option" as to what they want to sacrifice (that is, without some pretty major HSCore modifications). It'd likely be an addon-for-supplements swap or something. Or possibly an emitter, although 2 supplements for 1 emitter seems a little generous.

[Unix]

You could have three kinds of Extra Supplements labeled differently that also has the items in which is takes away from..

 

So Extra Supplement Addon - Extra Supplement Emitter - Extra Supplement Mount

 

Some builds require two emitters, it wouldnt be horrible, and if it really is that generous, you could have more diverse ship builds with more supplements. Also there's the option to have a penalty elsewhere, such as mobility or efficiency, who knows.

[spidernl]

Not to mention aesthetics and the fact that those item names by far exceed character limits, the best you should expect -if anything - is addon-for-supplements.

[toxic_intruder]

Gun Superiority Addon, Signature

bulletenergy -2

ive been asking for that item for the last 3-4 years

never going to happen, hyperspace is too convinced that repels and bursts make you have skill

 

also that item sucks, its not worth giving up mounts for crappy stats

Mounts are for 'specials'. Period.

It's simply part of the item set's design.

 

Then again, you're just trolling so why am I even bothering to reply.

[Cheese]

^note the complete lack of openmindedness regarding mounts

[kevinz000]

oh cheese,stop trolling everyone

[Corey]

I think we need some more types of mounts.

 

Also, who introduced kevinz to the forums...
