If anything, hitting 1800 hours on the dot is amazing! Wow!

I realize you've rebranded, but can you NOT flood our HB sector with 4 dozen warhead drones? You're killing the server.

I don't care to come back on TAW due to one of your ships using Ionised Shield Injectors, and being used against a single 13k mass ship. If it were a random server side faction I wouldnt give a shit, but because its a faction that is involved in the servers admin team, I lose all trust.

Thanks for the Necro.

So it's alright for us to come on and be assholes everywhere Vaygr likes to be? :^)

If the admins there aren't using such things then I can trust them to at least discourage it's use rather than allow/use it. I don't know if FCM leadership are actually admins on TAW but I know they have some say in the server management. That's enough to really put me off when I see someone in that position using it, and then a completely unapologetic response over it, even justification.

To be clear since I've had to a few time's today, I'm not talking about "SSU's", I'm talking about a specific exploitative SSU design, of which there are a few variants.

So... your SSU's are exploitative. Or at least some that you have. Ion SSU's are an extension of a mechanic, that uses such mechanic in an unintended way. Same way you guys have open doors on your ships, to boost your AHP. Same way Vaygr uses forcefields that are really far out to break missiles.

If I sound salty, I am :^)

To be clear I do not use Ionised SSUs in multiplayer or competetively, I have forcefields on one of my ships that are kept closed (aka hittable) because I find them more useful during the shield phase, and they're less than 500 blocks total so you do the math on armor (they're not docked). I've messed with forcefield armor plenty of times and posted it plenty of times, but have ended up dropping it on almost every occasion due to mass concerns.

This is not a Vaygr or IL thread, and I still do not use Vaygr or IL ships or tech, never have & don't particularly plan to. so fuck you on that one.

*want to clarify that yes, my 2.1k mass "Secreta Sai" did have an Ionised SSU in it, this was a design from before I learned how to really boost that method, but it's true even that much is quite overpowering for size. It was discontinued in favor of the cleaner Sulphatum after a short time and was never used in actual combat. Only one of my ships has used this in combat, and has been completely refit with clean SSU's since I left GenX (Pandora Class Dreadnought). It was never very satisfying to fly in that state.

The Sulphatum itself has been accused of using Ionised SSU's, which is fucking bullshit. Ionised SSU's don't look like this

That is a mere 20k/s via non Ionised SSU combined with 20k/s as natural onboard recharge.

this shit makes me lol

Make stArmade Great Again

Gonna make this stupid ass thread great again too

 

[Az14el]

Due to staggering community retardation & the resulting unplayable lag literally everywhere else, have come full circle back to GenXnova (for now, see how things go with ER/EE2 after the NPC patch hits).
Unfair judgement on LvD because the unplayable lag was usually our fault :/

The old fortresses are gone, but a few billion credits thrown at the wall got us situated pretty quickly nonetheless, thank fuck people actually make use of their home-base shops there.

War were declared from OAS faction The Federation, but they may just be acting autonomously in reaction to old aggression on our part that nobody but Echo ever gave a shit about anyway. Prioritizing home-base defenses for the time being, KBF ships are annoyingly not in line with server restrictions regarding chain drives and a 10 JD maximum drive needs to be developed at an acceptable rate compared to the old 3x3x17 bricks used that clock in at a lovely 44 seconds to permajump. So far have not been impressed with alternatives.

241k mass Adeptus Mechanicus Vanguard Battlecruiser factioned to the Syndicus has been commandeered until I get a proper factory set up to produce larger vessels. Happy to note that the servers mothership entity block limit has increased from 1 million blocks to 2 million.

Good to be home, maybe come visit your HBs on the next cock4cash weekend :D

just the HQ looking suitably gross, but finally has dakka

 

[Az14el]

hadn't occurred to me but possibly war dec was in response to steali- libera- commandeering of the Vanguard
As per usual it'll come back after a bit of joyriding

 

[Az14el]

Well turns out ships4shekels isn't a thing when the servers likely about to wipe, real shame that
but hey minings still a thing so PANDORA IST READY

And about as big as is legal on genx nowadays >.>

 

[Az14el]

General unwelcomliness continues on GenX so trying to go above and beyond in cleanliness & organisation despite relatively low blocks overall. For now mostly focusing on general maintenance & resource gathering at other outposts, but general stability on these other servers not looking very viable. Hoping this is just a kinda low maintenance period in most places awaiting the new patch, since it's a likely reset from all im hearing, if not to have NPC's spawn properly, then still likely to have a fresh universe for them to actually populate, rather than the fringe areas most populated servers have left for them.

A new salvager is being tested on FreaksRUs, able to scour their 200-300r planets in around 25 mins with a wide & high efficient grid staying within their .xml limits regarding salvage outputs (700). Going to set up a larger production factory there and see how I go getting a respectable fleet BP'd.

New Homebase on GenXNova is much more fitting of our good name with extensive docking that I would recommend against actually using much unless you wanna core it to an empty sector before you log out (it's not because its big), though still not entirely faction friendly I'm fixing up the remaining permissions issues as I find them.

 

[Az14el]

Progress image of ongoing activities, much detail work & interior to be done.

While operational, the grinds a bit too real to even attempt spawning online anywhere yet.
Perhaps one day Soon™

 

[Az14el]

Galaxies Aflame outpost "established",
like, i can't be bothered really but they have buffed warheads so I'm going to torpedo fleet people who RP in general chat.

I feel like there's not enough good reasons to bomb people so that'll do

 

[Mortiferum]

Dem Caltrop drones though.

Actually, mind showing an image of those caltrops?

 

[Az14el]

I would but they're like, 13 block sticks
ugly and tiny :u

Our soon™ to be finished 500k mass "Meti" Interdictor

Plan to have her finished by the weekend but we'll see how it goes, was originally going to be a replacement for the Pandora Class Dreadnought, but since it fills a more generalist roll as well as having massive inhibitors & significantly higher mass, Pandora will be sticking around to fulfill a general fire support & escort roll for ships such as Meti & Arrancadora.
