There wasn't much wrong with it. Why do you ask, carebear? :P :P :P

May as well take a wing off the HF's too, that would give more options to balance.

If we have to PAY to be harassed then I'll get remairreid, at least the fringe benefits are better, but it wont be anothe guy doing it when I dont want..that sums up what everyone else say, so all we can do now is sit here and repeat it again, and again...

There is nothing wrong with this thread Chaser and people are not yelling at it each other in here. So please don't tell people to basically shut up because you disagree with them. This forum is for discussion and that is what this is.

Nice to see ya, Ulysses.

A problem I had for a LONG time was missiles. They're much better now, but I still feel like their usage is cheesy for a skill-based game. Eh, what can you do? Maybe special missiles solely for cargo vessels.

Flashfires were also a big problem. So large that there was no ship customization as it seemed to be intended with MODx... I'd like to see them reworked or removed, so that MODx customization finally becomes feasible. The same applies to Duelists.

Ok, Jump..sorry I never meant to say for anyone to shut up. What I meant was we are all just waiting to see whats going to happen, and we know that all the interviews are just teasing us atm, so we will say the same things in a dozen different threads while we wait for some to be clarified. I never wanted to offend anyone, but these same things are being said on a dozen forums and we still dont really know whats going on, so its getting upsetting to everyone. Sorry again.

[Jump]

It's upsetting a few people yes, but most of us are just letting it be known how we feel. It doesn't matter if you throw the tea in the harbor from one ship or a 1000 ships, as long as you're message gets heard.

[Tim]

ok, but this time when we throw the tea in the harbor, i suggest we dress like octs.

Edit: No baby eating without representation!!!

They are practically gone. They are hardly ever stocked (at least in oct space), and they are now a bigger missile slot than most ships have.

The MS is already for cargo only, so I kind of agree there. I will tell ya though, even if my missiles never hit, they were useful for getting one person off of you in a 2v1 fight.

I see you haven't fought against any lametards who sit in bombers and just fire 1 after another at you for 2 minutes then.

I don't remember who suggested it, but I think adding a missile lock system would dramatically decrease the cheese factor of missiles.

[Liet]

Don't see how it could be workable without being essentially the same system.
