General / Big Unannounced System

I personally will subscribe to the theory that Flayra is out of ideas and he made that announcement for the sole purpose of creating threads like this, so he can browse through the speculation and find some new good ideas to implement.    You should see the amount of ideas thrown forward on the NS forums.

Sure, you'll die occasionally to bad luck or misjudgement because you fly into a group a bit too large, or a space a bit too tight, but by then you usually have another 30 res.
 

I've never had the problem with the space too tight - that only seems to kill me as fade.  Usually with lerk it's spotting two guys from a vent, thinking they have LMGs and dying when they actually have shotguns.  Or it's civ with a shotgun and he's by himself.  

I'd be ok with the no-energy flight if they actually went through with the spumbra change.  I've heard that if they did implement this, they would do it at second hive but remove the ranged-attack element from it.  So basically you use it and a cloud appears around you like you just farted.  This would support the dive-bomb model - to support an Onos, you'd be flying circles above him, diving every now and then to drop some gas and maybe bite a marine.  This would definitely make the celerity lerks pure ownage in large open spaces, like Lost marine start.

There is still an advantage to gliding though, it's silent.

Until Mr. Lork starts growling and screaming and making all sorts of disturbing sounds.  It's like as soon as you begin gliding he won't shut up.

See, this is what I mean by this being a great community.

EDIT: btw, it's Frylock, from Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Cartoon Network channel in the states.  Wacky stuff.  I think I saw someone named MasterShake on the server - that's from the same show (program as you Brits call it).

Hi, my name's Doobie Dan, and I'm a beeraholic.  Lunixmonster == best server evar.  I've been hopping servers, being a regular on various ones for a month or so, but I've never found one like this, so you can expect to see me around from now on.    With work/school/gf I don't pump tons of hours into NS, but I certainly play whenever I can.  You all have a great community here, and I'm glad to be a part of it.   ^_^
