ya... i think its less "we dont want you to play diplomacy" but more "The version of diplomacy we are working is farther along, and we dont feel like making the outdated version you all are playing with compatable."

they didnt buff lrfs... they just swung the balance from scouts >LRFs to fighters > lrfs. which, imho, is the way it should be anyway. You do realize that with equel fleet supply, even vasari carriers PWN lrms... even illuminators, with the current balance? I did a 6 vasari carrier vs 14 illum... both fleets starting on opposite ends of grav well... without kiting. i lost 1 carrier. flacks, however, are a monkey wrench in this plan, obviousl

[quote who="EadTaes" reply="70" id="2523987"]Indeed I don't like scouts as combat ships. However I belive they should not be nerfed without nerfing the LRFs first. ANd yeah I am talking about the missile and beam pacts. When you have 2 pacts your gain 20% damage increase to your LRFs. [/quote] O rly? Last time i checked, if you tried to form a second pact of the same type, it said "not happening"

I have noticed that the burst rockets on gauss cannons tend to fire when strike craft are in range. It was impossible to tell if htey were hitting the strike craft (which would be preety epic)... but they definatly were not hitting ships.

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="24" id="2520282"] The game has physics involved. First rule, an object in motion tends to stay in motion. Strictly speaking that's not true. Ever seen a ship nudged by repulse? Even if the repulse effect is perpendicular to its direction of motion, it loses all momentum and comes to a complete stop on a dime.

foreign invasion, and entanglement both have rather good choke points. the new map (diplomacy only) secretes, has a rediculous choke point. open up a few maps in galaxy forge, and you can check them out yourself... there are also quite a few custom maps... but they *tend* to not have choke points... also... check out the distant stars mod. lots of maps in there, (but DS only)... and ofcourse you can use galaxy forge to make your own maps.

Things I love: everything you changed. YOU SQUASHED THE PHASE GATE BUG!!!!

Kortul's jam weapons seeming a bit on the weak side. (advent battle ship is fine... that thing hurtz.) Ships acting stupid when trying to GTFO while under fire...

your preety close... except, americans tend to send a shitton of monies go towards charities that in no way benifit them. It could be in the form of food banks... or engineers without boarders, or whatever. A sizable portion of the USA GDP goes to charities, both inside the USA and outside. The nice thing about charities... is that, instead of the big guy taking your monies and giving it to someone else (after taking off a sizeable portion to sustain the big guy), yo

I am sure if we had a second spinal cord... I am sure people would have been trying for all of recorded history to try and do *something* with it... course it would not be till recently, with computers and such that an actual neural interface would be a serious thought... and even then. our current technical knowlege would prolly not be sufficiant to create a mechanical-biological link.

Set, ngati lu muiä. Alot of the film was unfortunatly cut out due to the IMAX time limitations... Its all shot and done and so forth, and so should end up in the DVD/blueray version. there you will find alot of cameron's story telling. so... just like LOTR... expect a extended version.... and expect 2 sequels. The origional script would have made for a 5 hour long movie... and included many new characters and explainations which were unfortunatly left out in the movie.

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="68" id="2493553"] The air thing is odd, since there also appears to be wind blowing from the human air to the moon air, and fairly strongly, too. The Na'avi also look like creatures evolved in a low-pressure environment (large, sensitive ears, room for more than their fair share of lungs, etc.) and a small moon like Pandora wouldn't be able to hold onto much in the way of atmosphere........ yet tree goop burns (or are the trees somehow self-

ok. To try to kinda prove a point with concern to the movie being similar to a few others... and to completly rip off an episode of one of my favorite shows... ima do something slightly ironic. CAMERON: and that is the end scene 10. JAKE: I Fight with... viperwolves? CAMERON: Sure. Why not? JAKE: Isnt that just showing the audiance tha...? CAMERON: Exactly, which is why I am hanging a lantern on it.
