Ship Collisions: Yes or No?

God_Damage

In a game, I would consider "fun" to be what the general concensus agrees on. Those who disagree on the "fun-factor" are probably playing the wrong game and need to find one they consider "fun".

What if there is no consensus -- as with Jumpgate Classic where you have the PvP faction, the carebear faction and various fringe elements?

Collisions in Evochron Renegades work fine and it has jumpgates.

LOL. ur logic sux

Tim

huh.. i'm not sure I trust judgments on logic when said judgment contain the terms 'ur' and 'sux'. Especially when the original analogy seems to be quite congruent with the conversation at hand.

Jump

Um, no Tim. That game doesn't have hundreds, possibly thousands, of real live people trying to fly through the same gate.

Tim

does it have ships flying along the same axis between two gates?

Graven

Not directly as the gates are too distant and in sector jumps are the mainstay of travel. Jumpgates do have ships jumping in at speed ~4k with inertia off all the time though and also ships flying at each other for combat purposes both in single play mode versus AI and multi play vs AI/ other players. Combined with large collision fields around the fighting ships and capitals, when fighting you can find you have collided and lost all your momentum at the most inopportune moment unless your keep your eye on the ball.

Radi

No to ship collisions.

ship collisions would not be fun at all. so, no.

I'm not going to specify which member I am talking to here but the person must think I am stupid or something. They should know that I can run circles around them when it comes to websites and what goes on behind the scenes.

I don't mind people making second accounts to use in the role playing forums for the Jumpgate forums. But to make a second account to double up your opinion in a thread or vote twice in a 10 month old meaningless poll is just Lame. It's lamer than lame. It's juvenile and a slap in the face of this community. Want me to go to your website and taint everything with bullcrap like that? The tainted vote has been removed. Do it again and I ban all of your accounts forever. Not just the one used as a second in this thread/poll.

Someone needs an integrity check in their life.
