Reply to Assailants vs Illuminators in Strategy Sins Forums

Caps get an extra % of mitigation for every level they go up - hence with the increase in armor, shield and HP, they get tougher AND take less damage from an otherwise equal weapon... My understanding is that for each missile there is an X% chance to bypass mitigation. Hence at 30%, you have a 3 in 10 chance of not wasting damage on shields and only applying it to hull (after armor reduction). Hence with 30% upgraded phase missiles, it is possible to blow up a cap that still h

[quote who="kryo" reply="6" id="2251049"]Most of you appear to be ADSL users. If you've got high bandwidth DSL which achieves its speed by the use of multiple connections, that is the most likely source of issues. I've heard some good things about our progress with people who have multiple IPs though, so hopefully that will be resolved soon. Many of your logs also show some players connecting through symmetric NAT routers which may be causing problems in the overall connection proc

Great - finally got there... What Az said is basically it. You cannot "watch" a game live. However you can save a game as a replay. Other people can send you theirs. As long as the replay is for the same version of the game you have, you can watch it. What the replay file does is re-create the game except it is in read-only mode - think of it like a movie script and the game engine is the movie projector. Latency is also known as your PING time - it is the amount of time it ta

I don't think you get what I am saying (suggest YOU post a screen shot of what you are looking at - I am STILL not convinced you are actually in the lobby). You don't pick a player in the lobby. You a pick a player (your player) in the screen BEFORE the lobby and then use it. This player gets the stats (hence you can have different players - e.g. clan and non-clan - Hack and [_]-Hack are different ones I can select) When you actually get into the lobby there will be bar on the

Reply to and my prediction of being unable to update comes to pass..... in Technical Sins Forums

You also need a pipe to pay for the water you use... If it is broken and gushing you still get charged and if it is turned off at the meter, you still pay the connection fee. The user bought a game which he has received. Patches are NOT a guranteed thing as he didn not enter into any warrenty or support agreement (extra $$$). So he gets them for free in a format that the supplier finds conveinient - unfortunate for him but that is how it is...
