I love random shrap ..... ok maybe not 'love' it, because it seems to kill me when i cant predict where to stand when i hit a mine or bomb
I also like the idea of random damage from bullets too .... which makes it more challenging in a way because youre not sure how many bullets you can actually take <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> And in a way, it seems more realistic. Its as if some hits are more critical than others ! <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
The biggest problem was the low number of greens. They were pretty hard to find, which means you really valued them <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> .... but the difficulty was trying to find them when the population was low. Then you might have a high bounty (or even a turret) chasing after you, and you have no SPEED, or RECHARGE, or ENERGY, or guns or anything and you cant even find greens <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
I did find more teamwork ..... but as mentioned, with few freqs of larger numbers, you may end up with one large turret, and no choice but to chase a turret or leave.
The lancaster i think is better with just one bounce. I think it actually required SOME amount of skill to use. It gets ridiculous and requires no skill when someone can just fly around lobbing lanc bombs that just bounce everywhere, and its even dumber when its used for line bombing.
The shark, i havent tried it much, but do people prefer it with the cloak and extra energy ....... or do they prefer the rapid guns ? Because it definitely shouldnt have both. Its crazy enough as it is with the rapid guns !! <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
BTW ...... NO BONUSES = <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':drinks:' /> <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' /> <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' />
