Reelik New Member Posts: 4 Registered: May 2001	posted 12-04-2001 10:51 PM With the release of version .37 immiment, I was wondering if there are any plans to make use of its new features and what everyone thinks about it. One huge difference I can see is the ability to modify ship radius now. Capital ships can be made to be bigger than regular ships etc.. Do we really want that though? It will really change everything.. The map will have to have a huge overhaul, tactics will be much different and such. Do you guys disagree or agree with a change in ship radius for capital ships?

Crawdaddy Member Posts: 92 Registered: Jul 2000	posted 12-04-2001 11:45 PM I say go for it. Tactics will most certainly change and I hope they do! If tactics all of a sudden change, then there's no separation between newbie flaggers and vets. It's something that has happened in the past and I think it helped the zone, personally. Remember when the new ships settings were implemented? (probably not) We were ALL newbies. The point is that if you're a newbie now and you're playing against badasses, it's hard to gain any kind of skill because you just keep getting beaten down. This will give everyone a fresh start again in some aspects. Even centerkilling will be different because of new ship widths. I'm ready for new and innovative tactics. And if we get a new, only a few bases would suffice for now to let everyone get accustom to the new ship settings. Maybe we'll see new-and-improved versions of the old planets??? I hope so! -Craw IP: Logged
Misoza Member Posts: 79 Registered: Jan 2001	posted 12-05-2001 03:40 AM I think bases would need to be restructured so as to have multiple entrances and paths through to the flag room. The wide open path would take longer but small fighter could zip through small tunnels and passegways making attack and defense a lot more intricate. IP: Logged
A Wasp Moderator Posts: 284 Registered: Nov 2000	posted 12-05-2001 07:34 AM I am possitive for a change of the Capships size, it would be cool to have a cap that block an whole tube. Dont change the size of the fighters and bombers. Well, a big spider would be cool, but not a big weasel. Maybe we could make both the terrier and the spider to get a "big" ship in both freqs. I am not sure if we should change the settings in duel or league. I dont think so. That's my 2 cents. //Wasp ------------------ *bzzzz* - SWZT Referee - SWZT Webmaster Slave - a_Wasp@hotmail.com IP: Logged
WhizzBanger Moderator Posts: 171 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 12-05-2001 08:12 AM Definatly yea! Finally a way to tackle the overpowered capships. Indeed, different ways to flagrooms, where capships would have to take the detour... the thought of it only makes me think "l33t!". Dont make em too big though. Remember that when you make em bigger, they not only would have to take detours, but they would eat alot of more bullets. I like it Other ships: keep em the same... - whizzy IP: Logged
C'baoth Member Posts: 94 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 12-05-2001 08:20 AM I'm all for anything that decreases the importance for capships. Although the best option would making 2 new fighters instead. One question though, what happens when a 4x4 tile cap attaches to a 1x1 fighter flying through a 2 tile wide tunnel? ------------------ SWZFL Coordinator SWZFL Slave Driver IP: Logged

C'baoth Member Posts: 94 Registered: Aug 2000	posted 12-05-2001 11:36 AM Err, no I've been saying that for ages, caps sux0rs.... completely unbalances the flag game. But unfortunately most people believe that a) overpowered slugs with 10^5 energy and far too many specials are cool and b) caps are what makes SWZ Special(TM). ------------------ SWZFL Coordinator SWZFL Slave Driver IP: Logged
