  1. Throwing in my $0.02 Getting this outfitter gear instead of something I could deconstruct for useful materials is a real bummer and came as a shock. Revert please.
  2. without knowing the ping of your opponent, it's hard to say for sure, but sure sounds like desynch to me. 30-60ms ping? *sigh* I DREAM of a sub 100 ping... the joys of being an APAC player I suppose....
  3. hey, i once gave the site FOUNDER of one forum I'm a mod of a three day holiday over a similar incident. he got over it. granted, that incident took place in a sub-forum dedicated to political discussion. after some early ugliness in that sub-forum, I wrote up a set of blitzingly strict rules which are, by and large, followed very well and there's some awesome discussions going on.
  4. I left in the key words of your response. Verain picked a fight, then argues the toss while making derogatory remarks. all of which adds up to: personal attacks on another member in my books. Who cares why he called himself LordArtemis? fine discuss the background of the name Artemis, but there's no need to "make fun of the guy" in quite that manner.
  5. what sort of ping do you play with? i'm on ~250'ish as standard and I regularly see evidence of desynch, most easily seen with extreme-range railgun shots that hit even though the target has just fled out past 15km. back in my Diablo II days, desynching the server was ludicrously, idiotically easy. whole swathes of PvP tactics were developed that took advantage of desynch. edit: you SURE you didn't accidentally put the DS to the wrong arc?
  6. I've been a moderator on several gaming forums over the last ~15 years. if you posted a personal attack on another member like this on any forum I'm a moderator of, I'd ban your ***. if it was a repeat offence, that ban would be permanent. you truly live up to your claim to be "the most despicable person on the GSF forum" with this sort of trash. edit: for a bloke (assumption on my part) who whines about 'ad-hominem' arguments, you're a past master of both strawmen and red-herrings. what's next, will you start playing the victim?
  7. the major problem with too much happening client side is that the opportunities for hax starts increasing. a lot of game hax rely on fiddling with client-side stuff and fooling the server. i'll pass thanx.
  8. now THIS i agree with 100%. I think all the theory crafting in the world will be no substitute for trying out some different ideas and seeing what works and what doesn't.
  9. i still reckon TT and BO are fine as they are. it's when you combine them with CF it gets silly.
  10. Let me be crystal clear: It's a grubby tactic and I don't endorse it. I don't go out of my way to use it and I generally despise those who do. Along with cap-ship running, it's a cheap, dirty tactic that ruins the experience for noobs and is ultimately not much fun for the campers either. I don't like TDM games where one team is forced back over the top of their cap ship and noobs keep spawning right in my gunsights (yes, they can choose another spawn, but they're noobs....). I also dislike 3-cap domination games where the winning side starts choking off the spawn. I'd actually like to see all three spawns available for the losing team in that situation (on Kuat/Shipyards obv) You also misread me. I'm not averse to the idea of cap-ship turrets coming back. Your suggestion is better than my initial post suggestion. I'd like to see it implemented just to see if it works as intended. My concern is, and always has been, that a "safe area" is ultimately good for no-one. The "Spawn in an exhaustion zone with a temporary immunity to that exhaustion zone buff" idea floated by others strikes me as a very good all-round solution that gives new players a bit of time to pick where they exit the exhaustion zone and enter the battle arena. Once you're in the battle arena, there should be nowhere to run to, aside from using the terrain to advantage.
  11. It's always nice to hear tale of someone who climbed the learning curve and found much fun at the top! I'm hanging for Star Citizen (got a pledge boat ) I really hope BioWare runs with GSF some more. It's an awesome little time-killer. Sadly, so much time can be spent in a queue. Gieb Cross-Server!!!!!
  12. Clarion/Imperium is an absolute blast to fly. seriously, they're fast becoming my second favourite boat (after T1 scouts). i went quads/thermites/repair/charged plating/power dive (nowhere near mastered yet).
  13. Ramalina wins this thread. nicely argued.
