Ideas for new movement/dodging/firing

[Dameon Angell]

put thrusters on the sides, damnit!

i think it'd make for a weird arena ?go strafe or something

Lev: No barrel rolling but add one rear-firing shot in multifire (As in WW2 bombers)

I wasn't aware the multifire on WWII bombers had a rear-firing shot.

You can strafe in this game. Hold shift and forward with a warbird, then while going forward turn your ship to the side while still holding in forward. Now tap the down button whenever you want; voila, strafing.

Thinking outside the box isn't encouraged for the good of the whole, Firewarrior.

If you were into Space Wolves like I am, I could maybe understand it. But Tau? C'mon.

yo didnt we have this whole existentialism talk

[Dameon Angell]

its not on-demand strafing. I mean, you fly forward and you immediately dodge to the side.

Turn every ship in your shpis.bm2 90 degrees to one side
problem is then you can't fly forward

And yes, the TW jav is absolutely the most ingenious ship in the whole of Continuum.

the Javelin reminds me of the sudden death part in the movie Dodgeball.

If you haven't seen it, go see it, ffs.

Warhammer 40,000. That's where the author of this thread got his name, specifically the first person shooter that was put out a bit back called Firewarrior. I've played 40k since 1996. Isn't existentialism, just an inside joke. I'm sorry that you're not enough of a nerd to enjoy painting and playing with toy soldiers and thereby get it.

my freinds play with that shit wtf/ he gave me this little dude whos wearing a gasmash and a gun with a chainsaw on the end

only thing i'd like to see changed is (I think it's w/ continuum itself) where you can eat on both peoples screen and still not die.

Randomized bullet damage is stupid too (spider bullets are really random).

One of Cosmic Rift's (Subspace sequel) more controversial points was the fact that you could strafe in a spaceship. Instead of turning you left or right, you could set it up so that left and right moved you side to side, and the mouse pointer controlled your turning.

You cant really change the first thing, and the second is a feature of pub, TWBL/BD have set damage, as does ?go base

I played cosmic rift a year or so ago, really was not good.

A way of limiting random would be $$
now it's just fixed damage (say 100) or random with the max of 100, which means it can be anything between 1 and 100. a limited random (ie 50-100 would be fun for pub.

I once thought changing the settings or the tw ships was a l33t idea, ie, giving the lev 1 non greenble thors instead of the blue shit, but then I came to realize it'd fuck the whole setting of trench right up. Please, just leave the settings be. Trench is PERFECT with the settings it has, it doesn't need anything else changed.
