I agree with this. But don't forget to say the same with 80% of other weapons that are useless! Sure each race is meant to excel at one type of weapon. However, the secondary weapons they build only have a novelty value. Take jenquai missiles as an example...

Since this has turned into the santa wish list thread: When this game goes live I'd like chinese players to be invited to play as red dragons Ofcourse they will be chinese farmers that have been expelled from other games. To lure them here a small portion, like 1 USD per month each, of the donated cash can be used to pay them as that is a high wage in their country.

Terrell, Avani is taking the mick out of how classes are balanced, why take it so serious? Can we please have an extra option to vote a post as TMI?

It is a good idea but it seems very hard to balance as not every non-manuf item has the same value. This could be solved by making individual prices for every non-manuf item but that seems a bit doubtful. Also, certain buildable items were so valuable in live that a rebuild was too risky. These would also need to be included in the repair deal.

You could make a chat macro that reads your own reactor bar and types it out at intervals. But ofcourse there is always teamspeak and vent for this sort of thing...

Beam ammo and gasses are not related at all...and it makes no sense even with sci-fi logic. The gas is enclosed in a laser in the same way it is enclosed in a light bulb. It is not expended. Therefore the only beam ammo that makes any real sense is reactor juice...

If this gets added could we also have an auto-farm button?

Ok that came out wrong. I did not mean it as ammo, because it is in a sealed compartment. It would merely be a part to create a component for a beam. Please read on contemporary lasers! Edit: Please implement it as ammo anyway to have the jenpie do what they do best

Players are like lightning, always taking the path of least resistance. The reason VT was so camped was not because many different types of jobs were there. But because it was right next to a weft.

Gasses are used for laser beams, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-neon_laser Imagine... "WTB ALL UR HELIUM AND NEON!!!! IR JENPIE I NEED PEWZ!!!!"

The solution to this topic may lie with an erotic dream I had the other night about meeting a copy of myself. Two universes that interact with each other, one pvp...the other pve. You can switch over any time. And...the payoff is ofcourse greater in the pvp universe. Only kidding ofcourse. For real...PvP would be about the largest guilds as there is prettymuch zero skill to pressing fire while your guns auto attack your target. In other words it would get really boring really quick as everyone would be joining supersized guilds. Tbh I think the pvp would be worse than in wow....lol

If you need voice actors I'm sure there are some trained voices around this forum.I am willing to lend my Pakistani accent for the cause. I would think there is a paki in EnB somewhere...perhaps one of the space-borne NPC's that sells dodgy merchandise? Perhaps this should be his audio dialogue when interacting with him: "don't worry it is only 5 months past expiration date" "buy one get one free" "don''t call me a Paki!" "racist!" "get out of my shop!" "I will call police if you dont leave now!" I also have a friend who has been swallowing testosterone buffers since he was 14 and wanted to be a girl so he can chip in for a female voice.

Can we haggle? Don't add Cygni express but chop 2k on average offa all terran sigs PLZ.

I would like the methane I produce to be recycled to increase my thrust. But also using gasses for parts is not a bad idea.

Aganju was imbalanced with those amounts of ores.

A MMORTS... makes me think and hope for a mutated hybrid of Homeworld, EnB and RA2:YR.

It sounds like there is an easy fix for that. Components in your hold should take precedence over those in your vault. That way if a person prefers the old way then by all means; put them in your hold first.

I do not see how it will be tricker than anything we are used to right now. Like your inventory the first items are automatically selected from your vault to make the build. So if you have the same PM and non-PM comp in your vault be sure to place the one you do not want to get used behind.

I do not remember this from live - it is why ammo building was an absolute pain. It is a good idea nonetheless which has been suggested before here, it just has not had it's own thread yet.

A suggestion to streamline user input on field locations: 1. Create blank sheets containing minimaps of each sector. (like all beta hydri on one sheet for example) 2. Ask players to open it in paint or photoshop or whatever and indicate with different colours (to represent levels) where the fields were. If a field is mixed just add dots of the different levels around the spot. 3. PUT THIS request for user input somewhere OBVIOUS so a lot of people participate. 4. Match the user inputs for accuracy. However, are we really missing so many orefields to go to this length?

If there are no manes in orefields, then where are they going to be?I think 99/100 places for manes was in ore fields, with endriago probably being the slightest exception? Sounds perfect.I think roid density also makes a sector individual. Take Xipe Totec it had a fairly decent amount in total, but the fields were spread out over probably a few 10s of Ks. So you would warp between roids nearly constantantly. Oh yes on the subject of MOBs and ore fields. Don't we all wish those freespacer prospecters respawned and mined faster? When you killed them they dropped the ores they prospected. But sadly they were not programmed to mine well and only targetted a roid very infrequently. I think this must be looked into!

That is a good observation. I may be able to describe a fairly common exception though:TW earthcorps dude gets shore leave for some 5 dolla time, where do they all go? Ofcourse Shakti. Now we know Shakti is filled with male prozzies and the only females are a few cleaners. It so happens that a drunken terran might mistake one of those female cleaners for a male. And so a Terran/Jenquai mongrel is born.

I'll start this off with a few: Somewhere a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE distance away from VT on the far side of the sun were a few roids. I remember finding L5-7 ores around there but remember rumors of L9. I also remember Glenn, Earth and 61 Cygni not having a crapload of ores before some rather imbalanced patch *hint hint*. There was a L3-4 field directly behind the gate to 61 cygni in inverness. In Swooping eagle if you freewarp from the Beta Hydri gate to the maelstrom, roughly halfway there in the middle of nowhere lay a very slow respawn L4-5 field where also a Red dragon boss spawned. Behind the planet on the top right of the map of Fenris lay high level ores with infrequent spawns. PS. Someone beat me to it.

This is biased as all females only want teh Norris so: A female TT + Norris = child TT builds weapons with unlimited range and damage requiring no energy I on the other hand...them jugs on Dewinter...**** Come to think of it great opportunities could arise! The hidden discos for example can be used for interracial gang....dances! Ofcourse when we talk interracial lets not restrict ourselves to hoomons. Tengu seem playful at times and they are bristling with tentacles which seem to have no other purpose than the obvious. PS. Terrel gets a magic biscuit for never letting us down with his input!!!

What are you talking about?PS: Tienbau those changes look like the right mindset for mobs.
