Hey Everyone, I'm back, after an 18 month hiatus, I am finally back for good. For those of you that are wondering how this is possible, it is because I have gone from an 80+ hour work week to a 40 hour week. Let's get this game going. I will try to be on TS later tonight. See you all soon, Tbohner

TBH, I thought it was quite good Tbohner

There is a storyline and there is a time and place for Chavez. Will they have a permanent official sector? Probably Not Will they have sectors under their control at certain times? Probably Did they have sectors in Aragoth with Bases? Yes Dockable? Maybe

Yeah, I think that is Niobe. Even though I know a few of them I still want to call that a "Who's-Who of Nerdmerica"

EnB most resembles motion in a liquid like syrup. Ironically, in the Fishbowl, the physics are perfect Zero-G doesn't exit. You always have some gravitational affects. What you see in astronaut videos is free fall. That being said, deep in space the force of gravity is greatly diminished. Vendetta Online has relatively good "zero-g" physics

it is supposed to vary based on ship mass. We technically have a chart for it somewhere. I will see if I can find it.

We were in the same guild for most of the game. I haven't heard from him in a long time. Do you remember Epyon and Loron?

Manufacturing from the vault is bad. The vault made it easy to separate items when building stacks

The lvl 9 Terran Only were designed for the Terran Scout. Yes to all. (maybe a little less rare)

I like the idea. I'll see what the other devs think

Avani, your guide is spot on. As Suri said, we just need to let our code catch up with content.

My sincere condolences. We have lost so many in the community and we have served so many. Many come to this game to take part in a community. Even though I never met your brother. He will be remembered in this game.

My view of the TS is it should have special lines of engines. Engines that boost shield cap, etc. Of course that is just one component

Everyone, thank you for your input. If you can please try to stay focused just on the Terran Scout for this topic. When you post a suggestion, if you can please put reasons and arguments for your idea including negatives of your idea. With the addition of the 3 unseen classes, there is a great deal of balancing that needs to be done. Now that the server is relatively stable and content is being filled in, we can start working on faction balancing. Once I get a chance I am going to make a subforum just for balancing suggestions. The plan is to have a dedicated thread for each class, for unbalanced items and for unbalanced missions. One thing to remember is that just because you make a suggestion doesn't mean it will be implemented. There are many ideas with pros and cons for each. These threads and ideas will be read and considered. I have played as a TE, a TS, a PS, a JE, and a JD. I plan to try every class to get a much more complete picture. Other developers are doing the same thing. Since we have many other tasks, trying new classes is a side side project. We already have several dozen pages of ideas for balancing. So basically, stay focused and respectful and keep posting accurate feedback Tbohner

Avani, One reason we do stress tests is to examine game balance. For overall Balance reasons, giving the TS lvl 9 engines and devices forced lvl 8 reactors and shields. 3 missile slots don't help either. The idea of the TS is to be long range support. He should use his speed and missile range to draw the enemy away etc. The TS also has the ability to jumpstart and repair hull. You basically get the healing of a JE and a TT in one package. In regards to TS specific weapons, they are on their way. Over the next few months this will be one of the goals I will stress to the items team. I have some spare time coming up, and I plan to use it to help the project. I am glad you made this post for one main reason. You are correct that 2.5k for a signature is too high. It should be 1.3-1.7 (I forgot the JE's exact one, but it needs to be slightly higher than the JE's) I would give you a better number, but sadly I have to leave for work in a few minutes. Tbohner
