  • A or B? teh funn0r

    I'll go with the puppy; robots don't really die if they fail to find a home, they just go into storage or get recycled. :]


    Enterprising or discovering?

  • A Spammin' Thirst for Blood

    Before people started getting overly annoyed by me, I was posting 21 times a day :D . Now I'm down to 13 :] ; Strogg will settle down in awhile too, I think. I've been here about three weeks.

    That depends. Sometimes one or the other, and other times both at once. I don't think I've ever been neither at once, unless you take into account the variations in accepted English definitions and interpretations, or... Wait a moment, I think I've just confused myself. :P


    Minefields like the one in Frankfurt, or minefields like the one in Hiruga?

    Has the possibility of reworking event running times been considered? I'd go to every event, but Monday through Friday my -7 hour timezone problem dictates otherwise. I know it's not feasible, but if they started a couple hours later in the day I could make them all. I know it probably doesn't mean much, but I hope people keep showing up. Don't give up Jtak! 8)

    Gun turret; I don't use missiles. The thought of running out of ammo is unsettling to me. :P


    Powdery snow, or that moist stuff that's good for all sorts of things?

    There's no doubt of this in my mind that this is spam, but I can't help myself. We're off topic at this point anyway. Shados, I hate to break the bad news to you, but I have succeeded in sinking foam boards on a number of occasions. How, you may ask? That's a secret (and no, I didn't deface, destroy, or tie anything to them to weigh them down). Hope OP posts again soon to get us back on track. :D

    Just because I like to play spin-doctor, I'd like to point out that the advantage the ships have over aircraft is durability. A capship can take many hits if they don't tear holes at or below the waterline. Aircraft on the other hand, rarely survive a hit of any kind (assuming we're speaking nautically, of course).


    Tying this back to the Mod though, I still would like to emphasize that the capitol ship guns are weak. In my opinion, it's a serious balance issue (along with the lack of cargo space). A dreadnaught should be able to take on a dozen VHFs at once and stand a chance of coming out of it in one piece. Likewise, there should be anti-battleship torps that do the job quick (which OP has already done). The only problem I would see in beefing up the guns would be all the players buying battleships instead of fighters. I bet it would work if only a select few people were allowed to buy them...I for one would have a lot of fun even with something as small as a gunboat if I knew it wasn't going to be a pushover.


    As for point-defense systems, I would assume the laser is a superior technology over the guided missile. What's the economic point of lobbing thousands in hardware at something when you can just shine a light at it (vaguely speaking)? If there won't be better guns, missiles would be good then. Anything to give the poor things a better means for defening themselves.


    If you still disagree I won't push it any further. I'm glad the mod has pilotable capships; I'm not trying to be overly critical. I just think it's crazy that I can jump into my shroud and tear appart an opponent's battleship in a matter of twenty or so seconds using guns that really shouldn't be doing anything more than bouncing off the armor plating. ?(

    My duty is to the People (and to the DC right before that :D ); save them, save them all!


    Mercy or coldheartedness? (by the way, I can be very charming, thank you very much :P lol)
