Re: Proposal for 1.82: combat balance changes
I totally agree that a newbie in a stock cobra should not be able to survive an anarchy. But as I said, someone with a bit of experience, who presumably has some upgrades, should be able to try for it. I also agree that oolite is a much better game for all the additions that you guys have made. I ju...

Re: Proposal for 1.82: combat balance changes
I agree with trying the standard solutions before going for anything more radical. As for the backup... Dissipation....No. Certainly not for the player. New/modified weapons....Variable, but certainly not mines. Imagine becoming fugitive because your mine killed a friendly in a furball. Also, I thin...

Re: Combat balance - 1.80 and 1.82
I also use roll, pitch and yaw equally but have already submitted my survey.

Re: Proposal for 1.82: equipment balancing and choices
I have to admit it had been so long since I'd been in G4 that I'd totally forgotten about there being only 4 government types. :oops: I'm really surprised to hear there was no difficulty curve in the government types. It sure feels like there is one. I guess we live and learn. I was sure I read in t...

Wasn't it that great Scottish Brummie Led Zeppelin bassist who commanded America's fleets during the rebellion who once said

Re: Introduce Yourself.
Thanks for the advice Diz. I should have put my save on the external hd, which didn't fail, but it didn't occur to me....sigh.
And thanks for the encouragement Mauiby.

Re: Proposal for 1.82: equipment balancing and choices
One of the reasons I installed OXP ships in 1.80 was that I love variety in my Ooniverse, I don't recall off hand a warning in the patch notes not to use any non-core ships. The other was that I was flying an OXP ship. It seems pretty harsh to trade back down to a cobra to play 1.80. Staer9's OXP is...

Re: Introduce Yourself.
I tried to register with my main Hotmail address but that was turned down so I had to go with my ISP email. Is Hotmail banned too?

Re: Proposal for 1.82: equipment balancing and choices
I have to agree. I am interested in trading AND combat and feel that the combat balance has been skewed too far in favour of the pirates in 1.80. I would hate to start afresh. The singles run away when you fire in their general direction, if it's a duo the other runs when you kill the first. 4 or mo...

Re: Introduce Yourself.
Hi all Long time lurker here finally saying Hi. I first started playing Elite on the Spectrum; bought it the day it came out (remember the Firebird gold edition.....still have it). Discovered Oolite at 1.76 just after the ED kickstarter started after somebody mentioned it on their forums and haven't...
