The only objection I've got to the emulator is that the flawed items and balance is also being emulated. Items need a MAJOR overhaul from the group up. Not in the least because three new professions are being added But also because the EA dev skeleton-crew just wrote down item stats without thinking and then implemented them. Can an item dev comment on this thread please and tell us this thread is pointless so we can all STFU and move along?

Now you are basically saying it is bad to ask or call someone autistic. That is not true as some of the greatest minds were very likely autistic, eg. Einstein, Newton, Darwin, Da Vinci etc etc etc. Just google it and see the comprehensive list. Therefore if anything it is a compliment and not an insult, so why the attempt at incriminating?

Apologies beforehand if it sounds a little bit harsh, But are you copy pasting your replies as most of this you say on a weekly basis... Not that I'm trying to discredit your post as most of it are just plain facts, but I'm just wondering if you are autistic and prefer repetivive behaviour?

Might be a silly question so forgive me if it is:But does it matter whether the clouds are level 3 or 4?

Such an idealist... How can you have respect and consideration in a game where the endgame is to get ubers to get even more ubers which are on a tight spawn? (if they are not on a tight spawn then they are not ubers) Also a lot of players are below 25years old and will naturally show less respect and consideration. So I'm guessing you are one of those grandpa players who don't like how rude the youngsters been getting these days

That line of thought where there is an end-all single setup that is supreme is very unimaginative of the WW devs. Take the intent for the resolute as the prime example of this attitude. It's primary buff changed any terran from relatively poor at energy management, to something that has no energy issues whatsoever. Would be nice if there's more serious choices and they would have to be pretty damn serious to compete with the intent for the resolute. The bottom-line-problem is that there was only one level 9 engine in existance, as the others are too weak to count.

When first reading this topic I was hoping for a more interesting scenario, like: JE vs PW In a mud wrestle Both female Bikinis with the not-too-durable strings holding them together Now if shakti were opened and it had a station let it not have a disco...and instead have a mud pool so we could see who wins, PLZ.

6k seems fair enough on the warpcap, however it must only be achieved through max level engines. So not level 6 engine + devices etc = 6k warp. Incentive to go all the way is needed

Sorry to hijack this thread, but where's the moderator impartiality?

Wow to the race pvp. Jenquai stand no chance with it currently. Summon is the only PvP skill of any value in a group situation for the rest it has...nothing. It would be between the kiting of Terrans and the massive damage and shield/hull of progens. But yes to open pvp nonetheless, just no race pvp.

There's no point to 200 extra warp @ 200%. As this gives 2 warp per 1% quality loss. Nobody is going to care about having bashed their engine to 180% as the difference is trivial. If quality-loss were to have some influence it would be better for rebuilds and it would actually mean something if you damaged your engine. Just an example of how quality could affect warp speed: If 200% gave the full warp speed then 100% would give the half. So a level 1 engine with 2000 warp at max would travel at 1800 with 180% quality. Ofcourse non-manufacturable engines would require their own fix, and the low end cap of manuf engines would be at 100% as not to let players travel at 0 warp.

To be honest I don't see why such an innately weak profession as the JT should'nt be an exception to the rule by having Level 9 reactor, engine and devices. It would not be a big deal at all and that is coming from someone who is not considering playing JT.

What that basically means is a Mob that can spawn randomly anywhere. I don't see how a GM would need to sanction or announce that. An announcement over all-chat not unlike the tengus or chavez boss spawn in odin's belt using broadcast would be sufficient. However, the AA approach from live seems better as an "ever-ongoing contest" in that such a device can drop from both a mob or appear in a roid/hulk.

All the bridges look great, I remember hitting every key on many occasions to try and get out of the seat and walk around the ship. Without those additional seats manned it doesen't give the propper captain feeling though.

Done by a human or not, If this person could not foresee the consequences of rule changing and threatening how can she ever be a GM? Harsh question I know, but has to be asked for the sake of this emulator.

The chat log, exactly what's needed. The GM had all the right intentions indeed, but the wrong approach. I think the lesson learned out of this is never to hold these contests again as it's only caused irritation so far

Make screenshots in the future please If you didnt screen it, it never happened. And we the community are left in doubt as to your accusations of threats of banning and rule changing.

This is a good idea. I would suggest a video tutorial instead of a written one if the tutorial from live can't be added.

You are now bashing immature people with your maturity. unfair tell us your secret

In live at least on my server the profession channels were rarely of any use other than the odd new player asking for mission help. The race channels (jenquai progen terran) were of even less use. I know it can be different here and everything as this will be much better than live, but that amount of channels is far beyond what could ever be needed. Possible solution would be not adding channels but removing the profession channels altogether leaving the race channels free for the purpose of help with missions and race talk. This also makes sense with a lot of missions of different professions of the same race being identical.

Sounds like you are the kind of player that smashes his keyboard and screen when losing Which is exactly the kind of player we all love to KS More "win button" requests pls

Not sure what the point of using a calendar to plan raids in this stress test is... But one thing would be great is if devs used the calendar to plan events which require testing

DST is to keep the boogyman away an hour longer

1) Much funny time to be had as it destroys everything it also kills neutrals. Think of 60 people doing a raid and you fly in and kill everything and EVERYONE 2) Other abuses are herding tons of mobs and AOE gaping their asses as 10k range means a diameter of 20k gets nuked...talk about easy farm if you have a JE nearby to jumpstart you as well as multiple PW's in the group to keep on suiciding 3) Since it kills all non-boss mobs all raids will become beyond easy as all minions are instantly evaporated 4) Even with a 1hr+ timer this would be the most bestest skill on my, or anyone's skillbar. Since you can multibox you would have multiple suicide squads ready The problem boils down to this: there's not really a fine line of balance for SD. If it does decent damage it screams for abuse, but make it situational and/or less damage and it will never get used. Even if it did as little as 50k pure aoe damage it could be a well abusable skill since you could stack the damage with multiple suiciders to snatch a boss which other professions would have no chance to counter.

I agree that all countries should pull out of Afghanistan, build a chronosphere and bring back some of the Wehrmacht to quickly resolve the issue. Also, since some people mentioned it and I, like many others are amused and feel they can expand on the art of it...please instate a toilet/sexual humor channel preferably for people like me with a physical age well above 18 but a mental age somewhat below it. It would cater our needs and it would keep all you mature players with families and all that maturity etc that we understand nothing about out of harm's way as they could simply turn off the channel
