euhm isn't it intra-sectorial, from the latin intra/intrus

cheers

It is Latin

intra- means "within"

inter- means "between" or among, in the midst of, well you get the idea

Thanks to the generosity of Scuba Steve 9.0, many of us now know where sector 17 is.

My quad tachyons will deal with Scuba Steve shortly.

*eg*

Hey hey, even I new it already :D

cheers

ooh no ,that was sector 16.

Something special in 17, maybe the alien ships ??

me hopes that you can buy them in there :D, me really would like to have a valk decked out as one of those alien ships,

mmmhhhh, hubba hubba bigga momma :D

Yeah, I was hoping too... but unfortunately you can't. I really hope they allow us to buy those alien ships though. They kick ass. My guess as to why they can't be purchased now is the fact that it doesn't seem to have any dynamic team coloration. How could someone tell the difference between a Serco, Itani, or Neutral player flying the ship? They're always purple.

Mabye they're meant to be the true beginnings of a Robot Nation.
After all, having to band together to fight off robot invasions every so often would be really fun.

That would rule!!! :-)

And they could take that Frigate and blockade stations with it, just like some players do!

I would love to liberate sectors from the evil robot people!!!

a1k0n: I don't think this ship will ever be player-usable.
Defense Ship 4 notes presence of "ever"

<- That was on a couple weeks ago, I still remember it.

I talked to a1k0n on IRC before logging on this afternoon. He confirmed that there is in fact an s18. I then asked whether we'd be able to purchase the purple alien ship in the future. He said he might put 'em in. And as I suspected there is no dynamic team coloration with 'em, but he said he could make 'em "glow" different colors. These alien ships supposedly have one S-port and have a little less hull than a Valkyrie. A centurion on steroids?

Oh... and no, I haven't found s18 yet. Searched for it for two hours. Surprise the devs and find it before Incarnate gets back from e3. Don't get too attached to the Frigate. Your chances of killing one with a crowd of 7-10 players lobbing avalons at it is low.

so actually it is a more a fast scout then something else ?

like sam once asked for in a thread, very very agile, but if hit, death in a sec

cheers

No... it has a pretty good amount of hull. And it's very agile. But it can only carry one weapon. Maybe two. Just not a lot.

But armed with a beam cannon, it makes a formidable enemy. :)

why does everyone talk about this beam cannon when we can't buy them?

I know it would be for the bots but i want a beam cannon. some kind of fast weapon. As well i've noticed how the current energy weapons have a fairly short range, we need a longer range weapon that is fairly powerful. The rail gun has been completely nerfed, it never gets used. there needs to be some kind of change in that area.

Rail gun is semi good for killing the frig if you don't want to be killed in the shockwave, but it's energy requirments for the dmg it does are obsurd, 2 tachyon blasts do more dmg, cost less energy, and are easyer to aim.

I just want a 8 meter in diameter sphere plastered with 100 of those turrets on the frigate. Drool.

I like the idea of a constant beam cannon. like the pulse gun off of UT2K2.
