I'd probably fly this ship more regularly if the anti cost wasn't so ridiculous.  From 0 to 1700 nrg you're talking an additional 5-6 seconds if you're running anti.

 

I have a few different ideas on making this a little more balanced:

 

1.  Make it's rotation 270 (equal to that of the lancaster) and make the anti cost 110 instead.

 

or

 

2. Make it's rotation 280.

 

or

 

3. Take away stealth but give it free cloak.

 

or

 

4. Make its rotation 270 but its x-radar free.

 

 

Just some ideas i was throwing around.  Only other ship i think sucks worse is the javelin.  My ideas of a balanced ship set is that each ship has something unique but also has something that counters some advantage that one other ship has and/or is weak but has something that benefits the whole team.

What was the most competitive season? Why?

 

Up to your interpretation. It could be AML, IML, or PRO. It could be because of the quality of the finals, or that there were 3-4 squads who legitimately could have won the title.

 

 

 

 

I don't have a clear answer in mind so I'm very interested in the responses.

Okay so i was on CPRman's (he created CPRman graphics pack for SS which i can no longer find) Assassin's (spelled with the apostrophe) waaaaayy back.  I believe FooMasta was one of our captains but don't quote me on that.  I also played with Enemy who at the time was Angel.  I don't even think we were a Pro squad either.

 

I remember a lot of people on the squad not getting along with Angel/Enemy.  I also don't remember him being all that great.  So i'm curious...

 

How exactly did Angel/Enemy claim Assassins (i believe CPRman told me it was already taken), get to Pro, and then assemble so many top pilots onto his team?

Even though my crazy adventures are going to make me afk for 3 months ... i had a though/question:

 

 

I saw in another post people talking about those that are not showing to matches.  I'm curious as to why the squad captains don't choose the day and time of matches versus them being specifically on Sunday afternoon?

 

I would think this would add more flexibility and allow for better showing of players?

 

Squad Captains:  Okay we have to schedule a game this week.  What days is everyone available?

 

Squad Captains:  Puts everyone's name on a calendar for that week.  See's who's available each day.  Then talks with other squad captain and coordinates a time.

 

If nothing is chosen for whatever reason ... how about the day time just fall on Sunday at the regular time?

I'm going to India for 3 months on June 19th. So, if there is any squad in dire need of players I will be happy to help out for the next month!

Thanks to everyone to contributed thoughts and ideas over the last couple of weeks.

 

Question #2:

Pro Finals, game 3. The score is tied 8-8 with 5 minutes left on the clock (and overtime after that if necessary) and both teams have no specials left. A player arrives late to the match for the opposing team, subs in burned, and you immediately think "Crap, this is absolutely the worst case scenario for my team." Who is that player?

 

The answers I'm trying to tease out are:

- In a very tight, pressure filled game with no room for error, who do you think performs best?

- This could be because they're going to get the winning kill, or because they're impossible to knock out in that situation and will make getting the winning kill that much more difficult. Or they could just have your number and it adds to your mental stress. Up to interpretation at that point.

- A rephrasing to "Who do you think is the most clutch player?" would also be fine.

 

Not many rules:

- Even teams. If it helps, imagine that other than you and the new opposing player, the other 3 players are exactly the same.

- Same technical setup.

- Historical players have time to acclimate.

Is there interest in a powerball league? I and maybe some others can volunteer to run it and maybe at least fix underlord's botcode in ?go powerball.

Please bring this amazing little arena back! I spent half my Powerball time playing smallpb3h, and I think it would be a great way to kick off ?go powerball, as it is much easier to just have a 2v2 or 1v1 in smallpb3h, which can gather interest and potentially get players to want to play Powerball.
