Except half of what churchill says is nonsensical. Just sayin'.

Just because someone can write 3 pages doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.(Same applies to me)

EDIT: I just read churchills above post, and he effectively said nothing. He re-stated his points(which we already understood) in a slightly different way. That doesn't change the fact that the answer to the majority of it is No.

Thank you for your time.

No, it doesn't work like that. For the thousandth time, it doesn't work like that. (see other thread). As you seemingly enjoy a better understanding of the code without seeing it, or writing it, than I do, I'll bow to your ability to make it work as a "turret". You seemingly know how the damage debuff code works and how auras could "easily" be changed to affect it [hint: they can't] and a multitude of other coding knowledge that I, in my ignorance, simply cannot get to work.

At which point, I bow to your superior knowledge and stop reading...

As an example, and for the record, you might want to ask who wrote the entire Halloween event (with excellent models via Feathers), and added all the gear, hulls and stats on all the AI, and who worked 37 hrs straight when capping became impossible / worked out all the "hull filling" items to allow capping under certain conditions, fixed bad spawns, wrote all the boss code and so on and so forth before lecturing me about it

Hint: I did.


10.

I like Sesame Street as well.

git em!

aurora you free later for some coffee or a 5 star night of debauchery?

I'm fairly certain that augmenters won't fix Gunner...

I say just leave it to AEM. I trust that she's more than competent enough to be able to bring Gunner inline with other classes.

Its kinda makes me sad, though, that Churchill gets a dev to tear HIS suggestions apart, but nobody wants to tear mine apart. Inequality!

We lack an aug_effect that can influence missiles, and due to some weird coding, it can't actually happen (due to them being non-permanent slaves - and yes, a missile is merely a suicidal slave.. which, guess what? Yep: Auras / Augs that effect missiles effects slaves, and I'm sure we can all see the potential for abuse there - which is why FC augs don't buff slaves either, but I digress. No..wait... you mean that FC auras don't effect missiles? Perchance the dev team saw the potential abuse there?).

Bottom line: Augs cannot effect slaves or missiles. Auras can effect slaves but not missiles. This is intentional, to preclude massive abuses.


I'm happy to provide constructive discussion, but there's a hard-core element of people who think: "Well, this weapon sure looks like X, I bet it functions exactly the same! Hey, you muppet devs, use it!!0010111! Hey, dev, you're a muppet! This will work! You're too dumb to think of these things, and my mum says I'm totally amazing at being creative, so implement it naw!".

Hint: they don't. Sterile Cannon is another one of those that uses 0.03 turn, but with a 10 vector speed increase. Don't get me started. Hint: You want something that doesn't involve you aiming? Use a laser (You're a Capital Ship Core? Oh, we haven't met!).

Rail Guns are different to a mere 360o Laser... er... because we already did that.





Fire away: I love dealing with informed feedback that tells me how things work and how stupid I am for not using it.

Hmm. WILL there be heavy fighter/capital ship hybrids? Do you like the idea of them?

Yes. Another content dev agrees, which is all it takes to get a proto-type on the floor.


I'll probably upload it to test by Monday.

I'd like to see a sort of upgrade kit for those of us who spent all of our money on a zebra to one of these hybrids.

Only in a select few situations could Mining Damage be useless. I think that as more Gunner content is released we will see some Mining weapons other than ZSpitters/Excomms/ACALs.

excomm is what? Tech 11? And still used by gunners well upto and past 1k. What about a new t20 excomm style wep, with a bit more punch to it?
