change the x-1 mission

May 03, 2010 peytros link
yeah or change the mission text cause like what is the point of saying "oh this is some elite fighter that only l33t 5k11z p1l07z get" if you can just jump in and out with a spam rag while the tpg test pilot mission keeps you from even repairing.

change it... to do what?

+1 No jumping out

Yeah. No jumping out and make it longer so spamrags are useless.

As long as we make an SCP mission. Because otherwise it's just a pain.

If we get a special SCP? So far, missions have only been put in place for special, new variations of nation-specific ships.

I'd like my infiniboost prom back.

Infiniboost SCP, MMmmmm.

You can jump out? I wish I'd known that when I did it the hard way.

I think you used to not be able to do so. I seem to recall doing the X-1 mission the day it came out and having to stay in the sector.

I just went and retested it on slugg the other day and yes you can jump out repair/reload whatever and go back to the sector without a "zomg u newb u fail" coming up

Interesting, I thought the same as Dr. Lecter.
An old design flaw or a new bug?

+1, but after any sort of damm redux.

Also, if/when this is implemented, change the achievement req for the x-1 so that, for you to actually get the dammed thing, you actually have to be good enough to complete it no repairs.

And it's really not that hard anyways, it just takes time.

One more thing, +1 for special SCP variant. There are 4 normally buyable proms and valks, but only one valk that needs a mission. Possibly a pre-all nerfs variant. But that is a discussion for another time.

Possibly a pre-all nerfs variant.

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

Exactly. But it should wait till after faction redux/limitations are put into place, to avoid tri-posers with SCP mk2's and X-1's flying around.

Look, I loved me some pre-nerf SCP: back during [SCAR] Mk. I, I pretty much flew them exclusively, in a suns/screamers setup. And there's no question that, post-nerf, I'd much rather be in an X-1.

But the pre-nerf SCP was an unholy monster.

oh.

Then a merger of the current and old scp, I gather.

EDIT: Wait waht were the stats of the old prom?
