okay, omfg what a bunch of total shit. I mean, no pun intended, but NOBODY has a bloody clue anymore...there's playing counter-counter-semantic-clarification games. makes me sick. they've got no concepts, just hitting each other with fucking stupid numbers that (for the VAST majority) are false. [ie. bass ackwards]

That intensity balance thread is the worst of the lot. lol. :headbang:

What is even more sad, is that ND actually seems to think those suggestions are constructive. The new amazing ships .. erm well.. you aint seen nothing yet.. HELP

New amazing ships, huh?

I'm betting on already obsolete variations that nobody will fly, with the exception, perhaps of the non PvP orientated ships, who will still be modified to be sitting ducks.

MG general forum thread

explode? nah. as long as it's a reasonable and thought out debate i don't care how much this thread is hijacked. (remember the #1 rule of the internet is to get the TITLE of your thread to the top of the forums)

#2 is to only flame people you think are complete idiots ONLY when you think they're lying or fudging data

size3 engines for a size1 radar ship? talk about funny. that's like strapping a flashlight onto a Ferrari and tearing down the road with only that for illumination. (that's my first impression anyways. lemmie go look see at the thread)...oh, before i do that, my 2nd impression is that i forgot they boosted pp to size3 across the board.

...

oh. why did you bother to post that link, GymCee? blatant attempt at hijack? seriously, just look at the stats on the current MFs:

They all have surplus power, and could quite easily mount what you suggest. Problem is you'd increase their speeds to 442v, 449v & 437v respectively. You'd have nix pilots screaming blue bloody murder

no...sorry, but i don't buy that. it's just too silly. like calling for size3 guns for tows. sheesh. seriously people. get a grip. lol

BTW, do you realize the munchkin who started that thread you linked also calls for phoon to have size4 pp and tens to get another size3 gun? Mr.CookieCutter. whatta joke. brings tears to my eyes in laughter everytime i read that shoddy excuse for a balance forum. Jeezuz. Give some punk between 5 seconds and 5 months of PvP experience and they think they're god's gift to R&D! lol!... reminds me of that AirForce joke about the difference between a pilot's opinion of what's wrong with his aircraft and the engineer's checklist. think i'll go search for that on google

Of course, just to be fair and give a devil's advocate view:

What!
Who's been leaking info?

MajorFreak · Guest

more like who's psychic, Baad. All we've had to operate with is speculation arises after the devs said the HF was a cross between the Fighters and the Rangers...doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict ND will play "pin the tail on the donkey" as the Test Pilots cry.

hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa why do you think I DIDN'T volunteer?

It's pretty intresting that ND requested our thoughts on what the new ships should be like, and that we only knew the classnames, but everyone had more or less the same ideas, esp about the Heavy Fighter and Advanced Fighter.

It's also pretty intresting that ND came up with ships so completely diffrent...

Of course, they could change them and I really hope they will... Although as an Oct I'd love to get another Turkey! ;)

baad: So many of the previous ships introduced have been leaking intel :P. S3 cuda, uber rangers in each case the oct one was the worst....it's surely only a matter of time before they amalgamate the two :P

I wish I still had a copy of my "Ship Balance Fucktards" rant from PJG. Was somewhere in the Sandbox.

When i say someone's heart is in the right place, it's that i believe they have a "Good Enough" view of the woods. (ie. they're in the same ballpark as we are versus the insane asylum of griefers/carebears)

A decent view of the Woods/Forests = A decent understanding of JumpGate's 'Concept'

Now, trees are fine. i mean one can bloody stare at the hundreds of FAQs in that free database forum of ours and know everything there is to know about JG. Hell! they could never even look at any FAQ, and instead learn through playing the game "hands on". (it really doesn't matter how you know the trees)

A decent view of the Trees = A decent experience of JumpGate's 'Guts'

Where it all falls apart for alot of folks is being able to keep that view of the forest in mind while yer roaming among the trees. (ie. balance discussions are prime examples of this sort of juxtaposition)

Sadly, most folk really don't ever bothering to try doing this, because it's not

, and thus their "view of the forest" is rarely able to withstand even the slightest cross-examination...Sure they love this game, and sure most have their hearts in the right place, but you better not let them lead from the front, back sides or rear. period

I think the shame of it all is that the griefers/carebears really don't need to understand nor experience anything but their own selfish needs for WINGAME buttons, but noone thinks anything of them acting all high-minded and noble when they start going OTT about something "important" -- using "Illogician Tactics" with the skill of the damned -- One wonders where ND gets the impression that the community hasn't got a clue where our priorities lie.
