I personally would like the devs on more so I can....er...Nuke their dev ships and steal their non-existant cargo... >:D

Actually, they do seem to be on more... Which I love... :D

Not quite enough to provide constant nuking action >:D

Humpy, first off, i hate saying your name.
Secondly, the devs have more important things to do then to have you try to nuke them.

We're online more often than you probably think. Only thing is, we use pseudonyms because of what happens when we don't. It's hard to objectively get a grip on the game when you have a hundred questions/suggestions/complaints thrown at you a second, and you have to spend more time answering than playing. So if we're on as us, then we've either got something to announce or we want to field questions or we're goofing off with stuff you can't have yet. The goofing off part is very entertaining, at least for me, but it isn't the most constructive use of my time.

Pigeons: Check
Slingshot: Check
Trampoline: Check
Cinder Blocks: Check
Fire: Check

Can I hold you personally responsible for what happens?

and a1k0n, the goofing off is good for us too... Specially when you hand out beer to minors. LOL Oh DAMN that was a secret...

Personally, my favorite was the Flammable Gas widget.

And of course the precious minerals widget that sells for 25kc each that I stole off of Waylon's dessicated corpse.

My Preciousssssssssssss.

I knew it!! I saw a newbie looking Serco player jump a wormhole right next to the sector 15 station. Sneaky bastards.

If you're itchin' to test some ship balancing issues, you might want to look into the Hornet's maneuverability. I challenge you to have a 1 v 1 duel with a Valkyrie, a Marauder, and a Prometheus ship using only a Hornet. Heck, just try hunting bots with it in s11 using only energy weapons. Ever aim a slingshot at a pidgeon while continuously jumping on a trampoline and having cinder blocks tied to your feet... while being completely engulfed in flames?

=b

Err... sorry, I'll stop whining about the Hornet now.

/me cries in the corner.

Personally i think it will warp in from 10k ish away, then turbo to the center!
May 06, 2003 sheepdog link
then all teh buses will run for their lives barely outrunning the ships AI fighters.... yeah will cap ships have fighter bays? cuz if they do that will be interesting with the AI...
May 06, 2003 roguelazer link
Yeah. maybe the cap ship will act like a sector defense turret and all the bots will shoot it!
May 06, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
Just say you have no comment when your on...
/me has 8 beer widgets....mmmmm....beer....

And how much armor do you have as cargo?
May 06, 2003 a1k0n link
2000, I think. And cargo boxes are reeeeeeeeeally slow.
May 06, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
