?buy'ing in safe only

[Unissuh 0]

Can we reconsider this one? This renders pretty much every item except thor and weapon upgrades useless; particularly energy, bounce and xradar which I know that I use all the time.

Solution: Take thor and bomb off the the buy list (perhaps super too). Then allow for ?buy everywhere.

Take everything away but Bounce,Energy,Stealth,Xradar.

 

Warbird with bombs is just stupid.

I agree that it is annoying to have to buy items in safe, as ?buy bounce is almost necessary or else you mine as well ship change if you don't have it before you attach to go back into base. The only essentials needed in buying are: bounce and xradar.

 

However, I wouldn't mind seeing energy in the mix aswell, and maybe portal at high expense.

just make buy prox, super, antiwarp. make buy only in safe. everything else is gay. green it

 

you can flag without bounce, stay alive and pick up a green, its not that hard. either that or suicide taking a couple with you before dieing.

 

wtf is with this buying everything.

 

why dont u make every green multiprize lev lol, do it you can't resist!!!

The idea behind making things buyable was to give incentive to flag, and I'd say it works, although I will miss my terr bombs

buying things adds no real incentive to flag, if ppl dont' want to flag just cause they can't buy anything, that is just plain wrong.

 

as dodj said, you don't need hardly anything to be an effective flagger, hell you can run through a base with non bounce bullets and still get a good rush in there. you just need to learn how to not run into bullets.

 

simply put buying things is for the people who can't figure out how the hell to get into a base, it is a last resort, or it is a lame ass way of getting kills within a base.

 

there is no real need to buy supers, unless you can't brake a base, same for thors, same for bounce even (but bounce doesn't really count cause most of the time you have it and on sc will get u it anyhow).

 

so get off your lazy asses and learn how to flag better.

That's easy for you lag dependent players to say. I, on the other hand, can't tank enough bullets to get a good rush

PArt of flagging is being aware of the game, and the opposition.

if you see a player use a rep you know he doesn't have one, being able to buy another while in base is lame.

 

just an example.

 

the reason i said prox and super is cause i remmeber that's all you used to be able to as far as i am aware, probably wrong.

 

and the only real annoying thing i can remember is having to try green anti or sc for it, which either greening could take 50 greens or sc 5 times and not get it.

 

ALL the rest you do not need to buy and are lame, if you really want full energy STAY alive long enought while defending or attacking to reach it. i am not sure how the cap ships setting are as far as max energy levels, but one of the best parts of capping was staying alive long enough to reach full energy.

 

buying everything on the fly takes alot out of the game. IMO.

 

Take anti out of center, population is too small. with large population the lame tactic of antiing centre may have some strategic advantage as you stop a handfull of players quickly rejoining the battle, with low population you can wipe out the whole attack/defence.

 

FLag upgrades are cool, that enourages flagging more than any buying will.

 

undecided on mini ship and warbird terr bombs....i don't mind them i guess..

Without antiing in center with such a low population, someone can easily warp themselves around center and get a lame win. Not too mention there isn't a defined center on the current maps

Anti should stay legal everywhere. Maybe reduce the anti-length.
