If spiders universally spawned with 5 minutes of super, I'd still only use them for anti.

So yeah, help them out all you can.

Just email him pointman@zetasquad.com I also miss the old spider bomb speed. Had a chat with pm a while back he did want to fix the spider so just let him know if you see him around.

On a side note if there if there is any more zone improvment ideas he is all ears. Just as long as ppl dont keep accusing him of turning swz into eg....

He also gets a lot of slack over small changes ex: privs in general + flag upgrades. To quote pm "people in swz are not used to changes and as a result they tend to bitch a lot more when we try new things". Not his words exactly but that was the point.

It seems that ppl bitch about someone trying to make improvments to the zone more so than when nothing ever changed.. you can't have it both ways ppl.

SWZL spiders already have the old bomb speed. I talked to PM (the nice guy that he is )and he is trying something with those settings. It's so nice to have a sysop that listens to suggestions. People need to stop giving him heat. GJ PM.

Old bomb speed slyth? Try old bomb velocity * 1.66. Swzl spider needs to be sped down, and swz's up.

I doubt anyone is secure enough to bring back
the old spider bombspeed. But if not, do not
do the silly thing and speed up the spider.
The ship ought to be slow. Instead, just up
the thrust. Max speed still slow, but a tad
better time to get up to max speed (and of
course a tad better dodging, too). With more
thrust, advancing spider bombs will speed up
while retreating spider bombs will slow down.
So it's easier to dodge when you're chasing a
spider, and he doesn't get screwed totally if
he tries to chase you.
