Cheese's Item Log

Don't forget the mass driver that has 11 delay. and fires near 11 bullets per second.

[PlayWolf]

I guess boring o' guns will be the same boring o' guns ):

[Cheese]

For all the 'omg y bring up dps if no ship can use it!!' comments: those figures were

just meant to illustrate the massive differences between existing items and..

certain suggestions. Didn't bother with the item delay problem.

 

also, when you bring up dps and convieniently neglect to mention fire cost, it isnt other people youre making look foolish

[Dr Brain]

Making items with more DPS than shredder or salvo is a Bad Idea. They can be extremely overpowered with the right build, regardless of fire cost. And if they're balanced properly, they will require more energy to fire then they inflict for damage.

[PlayWolf]

level 3 gun with 1 delay and 150 Energy using 450 per shot... a spider can barely even get near 11 shots out if at full energy only thing annoying will be cloaking assassin kills.. seems legit enough that a gun like that will be hard to survive with, yet assassinating pretty easy with. O: Well it was a good idea, but the high dps can be a bit devastating...

 

Hmmmm...... must turn on that ol thing in my head for the first time I guess.

[Cheese]

cant have a page without an item on it

^can remove rotation to nerf

keep in mind high rotation makes it hard to aim, and that theres currently no way to reduce rotation in hs

[Unix]

H2 Ramscoop and Resonance Sphere both decrease rotation and are reactors.

[Cheese]

and therefore are mutually exclusive

[omni]

Doesnt hydrazine and nuclear drop rotation a lot?

 

Also, +10 rot is amazingly good. You're all just bad.

Edited March 26, 2011 by omni

[Unix]

You were saying that there's no way to drop reduce rotation in Hyperspace. I listed two items that could, and omni listed another that could lower rotation.

[spidernl]

I applaud your attempt to think up an even more imbalanced item than you have before. Of course, it's hard to succeed with all your earlier, terrible, suggestions.

I applaud your special ed teacher for teaching you how to type on your keyboard

^a gun that affects movement

 

inspired by this:

Spidernl> his gun overweight

Cheese!> o is his gun like spidernl

[Arry]

can't wait to see several of these mounted on my tw battleship!

[Cheese]

none will happen because there is currently noone making items in hyperspace

[spidernl]

Are you very sure?

[Arry]

Are you very sure?

 

I know that because I never see Brain or D1 chatting in chat, it means they are never doing anything for the zones. TRUFFS!

[Cheese]

new idea:

• LV1 bomb or mine
  
• prox
  
• weighted random level shrap, lv2 most common
  
• pure random amount of shrap 1-10
  
• firedelay ~150
  
• firecost ~150
  
• ability to have 30 shrap with boost&multi
  
• limited to ships 2467
  

[spidernl]

That would look quite inconsistent for the user. Or well, it'd be consistent for the user but it would cause a lot of "mysterious" deaths that appear to happen seemingly randomly.

At least, if you "implement" this using some packet hax.

 

Also, I don't like random elements in damage done by weapons. At all.

Is that why we're never going to have the rainbow cannon that shoots 50% l1 25% l2 20% l3 and 5% l4

[spidernl]

Probably. If anything I would do it with extraweapon and a burst of random weapon levels, where the first is always the same. That way it looks the way it should.

However, it'd still be random damage which is just annoying. Both for the user when he shoots 4 l1's in a row and for people who randomly die to a burst of insane damage caused by 4 l4's they didn't expect.
