i think characters should be able to get married. and shack up. then they could share benefits. like if one gets a discount on goods, so does the other. if one has good faction, the other can use their credit card to buy stuff there. you know what im saying?

lol

I'll add this to the list of ideas which includes such stellar ideas as giving the ships robotic arms to fight with and allowing ships to drag around spiked balls on long chains with which to whack thier opponents.

=) Lets add them all and see what happens Celebrim =P

OMG!!! OMG!! VENDETTA IS SO COMPLETELY l33t. BUT I'VE GOT SOME SUGGESTIONS YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE GAME TOTALLY COOL. FIRST WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TURBO IN ANY DIRECTION AND THERE SHOULD BE LIKE NO UPPER LIMIT ON HOW FAST YOU CAN GO AND EVERYTHING SHOULD BE GOING LIKE TWENTY TIMES FASTER BECAUSE 200M/S IS LIKE TOOOO SLOW AND LAME THAT MY MOPED GOES FASTER THAN THAT BUT IF YOU GO TOO FAST THEN YOU SHOULD LIKE TAKE DAMAGE FROM ALL THE DUST. AND WE SHOULD HAVE ROBOTIC ARMS THAT WE CAN EQUIP WITH WEAPONS AND FIGHT EACH OTHER AND WE SHOULD HAVE BATTERING RAMS AND SPIKED BALLS ON LONG CHAINS SO THAT WE CAN SMASH OTHER SHIPS AND WE SHOULD HAVE LIKE SUPER HEAVY RAILS THAT DO LIKE 15000 DAMAGE AND BLOW AWAY SHIPS IN LIKE ONE HIT AND WE SHOULD HAVE ATOMIC BOMBS THAT LIKE YOU CAN DROP IN A SECTOR AND IT TOTALLY DESTROYS ANYTHING IN LIKE 20 MILES WITH LIKE A MILLION DAMAGE BUT WE SHOULD HAVE LIKE SHIELDS THAN DRAIN THE BATTERY BUT MAKE YOU INVINCIBLE AS LONG AS THEY ARE ON. AND WE SHOULD HAVE FLAME THROWERS. AND WE SHOULD BE LIKE ABLE TO EQUIP OR SHIPS WITH MIRROWS SO THAT WHEN WE GET SHOT BY THE LASERS IT LIKE BOUNCES BACK AND TOTALLY DESTROYS THE OPPONENT, AND WHEN PEOPLE SHOOT HOMING MISSILES AT YOU YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET LIKE A THOUSAND HOMING MISSILES FOLLOWING YOU AND THEN TRICK THEM IN TO HOMING ON YOUR OPPONENTS AND THEN DESTROY THEM ALL TOTALLY AT ONCE. AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONFIGURE OUR SHIPS HOWEVER WE WANT SO THAT WE COULD HAVE LIKE SEVERAL BATTERIES INSTEAD OF CARGO OR LIKE 16 SUNFLARE LAUNCHERS ON ONE SHIP AND WOULDN'T IT BE COOL IF LIKE LASERS BOUNCED OFF THE ROIDS AND THEN YOU'D BE LIKING FIGHTING IN THE ROIDS AND THE LASERS WOULD BE BOUNCING EVERYWHERE. AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CRIPPLE SHIPS AND BOARD THEM AND STEAL THEM. AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WALK AROUND THE STATIONS AND GAMBLE IN CASINOS SHOOT EACH OTHER. AND OMG OMG WE SHOULD TOTALLY BE ABLE TO LAND ON PLANETS. AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DESTOY ASTEROIDS AND STATIONS, AND PUSH THEM AROUND WITH TRACTOR BEAMS. AND THERE SHOULD BE BIG NEBULAS THAT WE CAN HIDE IN LIKE IN THE WRATH OF KHAN WHERE WE COULDN'T SEE MORE THAN A FEW METERS. AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY INSURANCE SO THAT WHEN WE LOSE OUR SHIP WE GET IT BACK FOR FREE, AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUE THE PLAYERS THAT DESTROY OUR SHIP, AND OH YEAH WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET MARRIED AND SHACK UP. BUT IF I HAD TO SAY THAT THERE WAS ONE PROBLEM WITH VENDETTA ITS THAT THE BOT AI IS TOO HARD SO YOU SHOULD TONE IT DOWN AND MAKE THE GAME EASIER AND I HAVE LOTS OF OTHER GREAT IDEAS THAT YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO!!!!!!!

am i the only person that thinks having a spiked ball trailing behind my ship is a tight idea? adds a whole new deal to combat

Urza: Obviously not because someone did suggest it before.

bah

[moved to off-topic]

I agree.

celebrim: are you crazy? those ideas are all complete crap.

except, of course, for marriage.

Our game would have the highest rate of gay marriage in the history of the world.

haha

can you lock this thread FM? It seems like a flame war waiting to happen.

Ctishman: I think that would be EQ.

Danielky, there is still hope.

The sad thing is that every suggestion Celebrim said has been seriously put fowards by some of these n00bs...

I dunno, a spiked ball would kick arse... :P

A spiked ball... With flame throwers on the spikes!

A spiked ball... with flame throwers on the spikes and when you run out of gas for the flame throwers it spits out giant space dwelling bees!

yeah! Right like totally!

And it shouldn't be a normal chain to the ball, but it should be an elastical one, so you could use it like the grapplin' hook in Quake!!! YEAH!
