Gonna be awhile before I get fully powered up again... but more reason this'll be fun! Cause the Resources & such are provided for me! (Hopefully ALL of them... Warning, my War Tank holds a LOT of Ammo & will also want a good compliment of Spare Parts... & no I don't care if ya think no competent foe will ever let me USE those Spare Parts if they seriously wanna win, I still consider them standard gear for my Creations, I build this into all of them. Love the idea of getting to Gladiatorial Fight, but my Creations need to be effective in Live Combat & Job use too.)
Well... I mean... I won't stop you getting out of your Tank to try to put parts back on... but you'll be exposed to my guns and not able to maneuver your Tank during that time (the term 'sitting duck' comes to mind) If you think that's a valid tactic, though, I'd be interested to see if/how well it works in a combat scenario.
Hey BNS, you should take better care of your Vessels, otherwise there is going to be a lot of Burials for your vessels
Uh, that's @Brokenshakles' ship, and he landed it there because he felt like it. Note that Brokenshakles basically owns the server... owns your stuff... owns your soul.... so you might want to rectify your mistake. And Slam, that's not nice of you, you know Broken's acting on his own now and he has nothing to do with BNS.
Mind you, had you kept off our planet on the first place, I wouldn't have much of an issue. we literally caught a BNS member on Pyrite, don't remember who it was but I'm quite uneasy considering that this planet is supposed to be RGC only, I don't mind broken coming here either way, but you should keep your men in check. If broken wants it unburied I'll do it myself.
The point is, BNS has been in our territory far too frequently. So this was a message. BNS seems to have a long-standing tradition of leaving their ships scattered haphazardly on our planet, going back to the first incarnations of the server. And if it's Shakles SV, then I'll gladly un-bury it. But, y'know, generally, if it says BNS on it, keep it out of any place with the name Pyrite in it, just like how I'll keep my ships out of any place with the name Azurus on it. If it's someone acting independently, just try to make sure your ship doesn't say BNS. Or we will bury it. That's all.
To my knowledge there have only been two Blue forays into Red space: - I planted a billboard in Ruby Citadel. You guys did respond in kind to this one, though. - Quigley32 was being stupid. I was there trying to make sure he didn't do anything serious. He has been dealt with internally. We've only made one real incursion to your territory, two if you want to count out your response to my billboard. These occasions made no meaningful impact anyway, and I wouldn't be overly concerned if Red or even Grey did the exact same thing. Abridged version: chill out. Aside from these two instances I have no knowledge of nor have I authorized any forays into Red territory. We're also a different Blue Team than the Blue Team that existed in the old days. Hopefully the wall of text I posted about changing Blue's policies and working to rebuild the force means something to people. Should these instances happen again, I invite everyone who might have grievances to take screenshots, particularly of a Blue Team member entering or leaving Pyrite. Rest assured I have not previously, nor do I currently stand for Blue abusing enemy home PvE zones.
Change of topic/scarcely-related suggestion: What if the map were reworked so that you had to jump through the Citadel sectors to reach the home sectors? For instance, that the home maps were so far away from the nearest planets (for example, Jotunhiem for Blue) you'd have to jump through the citadels to reach the home sectors. Furthermore, you'd have to stop the ship for a period of time to resupply your warp tank. This could help discourage unwanton incursions and would give the Citadel maps more purpose - unless we organize an event around a Citadel sector I still don't see much use for them.
***MAINTENANCE NOTICE*** SATURDAY 4/30/16 2:00 AM - 4:00 AM CST This is a planned maintenance. In-Game notifications will be provided in 5 minute increments 15 minutes prior to beginning of change window/server shutdown. I will be replacing all processors on the physical host for significant performance improvement. The server will likely be inaccessible for majority of the window. "We're givin' her all she's got Captain!" -Current CPUs Please feel free to contact me on Steam directly if you guys have any questions or concerns regarding this change . -Methodik
We appreciate your response. It was, in fact, Quigley that I had spotted in our territory (I believe on two separate occasions). Assuming that he is being kept in check, I don't recall any other offenders off the top of my head. Also I think we posted our own billboard in Sapphire Citadel, so that's fair there! Anyways, last night I decided to do the first attempt at organized HV vs HV battles, picking up @Tyrax Lightning as well as a BP of his War Tank. Took us both to Ulm, where I spawned both our tanks (plus ammo and fuel) and we did battle. The first battle ended very quickly, as we ended up sitting about 20m apart trading shots face-to-face. My cockpit exploded pretty quickly (despite the hull surrounding it not being destroyed?) and I think Tyraxs exploded shortly thereafter. The second round we used reduced ammo due to how quickly the first ended. After trading a few shots and spinning in circles, one of my Artillery shots struck a fuel tank, and the Tyrax tank proceeded to exploded continuously for about 5 seconds (seriously... there were like 6 explosions xD ) So I think we both learned something from this mini-event So, consider this an open call, if you have an HV tank design (or plan on building one) let me know and we can set up a little mini-event to test em out! I'll spawn in all vessels and materials involved, and destroy them afterwards. I'll even take care of transportation to/from the event I look forward to seeing your designs! Also, I noticed the Rouge Event Planet is PvE and has a nice number of Alien POIs and Drones lurking about. Maybe we can organize a big free-for-all raid of the planet to wipe it clean of the alien menace? Oh, and hey @Methodik what CPUs are being changed to/from? Just curious
Is it slower than your ever imagined possible? Does it have trouble getting over the slightest of inclines? Do you see hills while driving it and immediately find another way around? If so, then you're in the same boat as me I made mine so if I do get stuck (inevitable) it has enough armor to sit tight for a moment til the boost recharges to get out of there. But for the most part, it's just a big, heavy, turreted beast So any and all takers, let me know! Maybe if we get enough of them we can organize an elimination-style tournament?
lucky me, i've already tested mine, and it works fine, somewhat sluggish, but its able to get up to speed decently im pretty sure Slam has seen it at least once
Hmm quite possibly. Not sure if I've seen it in battle tho The way I did it last time, the Tanks were set to Private, so that even faction-mates can do PvP against each other. So, as such, I encourage anyone to give it a try I even have a light battle tank design I can try if my heavy battle tank beats everything else up too much
Not a bad idea actually. I think my Patrol HV would be decent at that... err actually maybe I'd prolly need to build a new one entirely lol
