Distension discussion

[H.M.S. Stargazer]

What's the point in making distension chat a local chat? It seems counter-productive to me. What if people from other zones want to play distension, but don't really like TW? As far as I know, the chat is the only place where new games are announced now.

I just don't see the point in having it a local chat.

We have been having issues with racism on the chat. It is now warnable/bannable.

I am going to be making the new distension website, and I need your ideas and suggestions!

Would be nice if upgrade info showed full specifications e.g. weapon speed, firing cost, damage, radius.

distension should not

go 24/7

• top 10 on front

• sounds good, i'm assuming this is top 10 combined rank of all ships - not the top 10 highest ranks
  
  
• news on front
  always good
  
  
• individual ship rank pages
  could also maybe show top 3/5 on front as opposed to the top 10 overall- making the overal a separate section/subpage. either way sounds good
  
  
• dist staff list
  good to know
  
  
• about dist
  could through a blurb on front page as well if there's room
  
  
• page showing upgrades for all ships and levels
  and UP cost too please, including the separate specializations. this could be done very roughly at first, and then refined later as it could be kinda tedious
  
  
• ship descriptions
  good, could probably put it on the top of the above page (upgrades)
  
  
• web-based lvl/lvz download (incase ingame is too long)
  yes, a couple people have had problems with this

colors are fun B)


A few other things i could think of:

• A schedule! that is until it's 24/7. Then you could also include scheduled "multiplier" events if that's the route dist. eventually takes
  
• Screenshots of specific things like "prismatic array" or "firebloom" to help illustrate what they are.
  
• player database where you can search for a player and see their stats
  
• !help, !help 2, !help 3, etc. written out where it's easy to see all the "!" commands and what they do.
  
  
• backstory to the game (might ask qan for this). I remember there was a story behind the names of the armies, why they were fighting?, etc. Probably included in the "about distension" section

edit:wtf with that black bullet, it's not in what i wrote GTFO DAMN SPOT

Current ideas:

• top 10 on front
• news on front
• individual ship rank pages
• dist staff list
• about dist
• page showing upgrades for all ships and levels
• ship descriptions
• web-based lvl/lvz download (incase ingame is too long)

im going to make it work first, then worry about how it looks, dont even think about complaining...

Supposed to be a secret though...

For those of you that do not know how to unlock weasel or lancaster yet:

for weasel get a 15 kill streak as an officer (rank 21 and up) and for lancaster get 6 kills per minute in a 10 minute game or longer as an officer.

It is only fair that all players know how to get a ship since those that can understand the code and their friends already do.

[H.M.S. Stargazer]

Does that stargazer faggot count as a bug? Since when does an event get ended because there is "too many people playing"?? And how are "THE" weekend events any different than "A" weekend event. Both suck, and hardly anyone cares about them. Only the Jabjab's do so they can beat off while looking at their name on the TW.org homepage. Get somebody with some balls and half a fucking brain to run ECT/Dist coordination. Fucking ignoramus.

using jumpspace to escape the arena was disabled as it was implemented, not one single person has used it to escape the arena

[dako]

Problem I can see occuring in the future:

Javelin1 gets jumpspace, and uses it to jump off of the arena. As long as he moves his ship every minute or so, he cant be killed, and will still reap the RP rewards, and unless an ops is in the arena, the only thing anyone can do is if his terrier uses advanced summon. Has this been considered with jumpspace?

Ball game:

Is the ball supposed to randomly warp players as they grab it or is it only supposed to be if they go to far north or south because it sometimes randomly warps players close to goals as it is passed to them.

Is it possible to change the way the ball is passed so it can not be passed to someone within a ships radius to the ball carrier? A lot of new players do not realize they are preventing a score and once they get the ball they do not know how to pass it or shoot it. The other team quickly takes over the ball and the opportunity is wasted.

That was changed due to the fact people kept bringing the ball in bases. The are only warped if the ball is in the bases.

I agree about the preventitive nature of the ship radius. Will discuss with qan.
