Changes in pub #2

[Ephemeral]

Pub 0 currently has 17 ppl playing in Pub 0, a weak but competitive game going with two equal frequencies. There were no weasels playing. There were 8 levs playing and even though both frequencies had some it killed the game.

With the various ship setting changes has anyone been keeping up with how many ppl are playing these ships? Has Pub 0 become more competitive as reflected with longer games?

Obviously we cannot use total number of new players entering or game downloads as a metric here; this measurement would include all kinds of other changes such as Steam. And simply listening to this forum is not a good way to determine ship change success/failure. Or is everyone just going to pat each other on the back and call it a success without really knowing?

How can the success/failure of ship changes be empirically measured so we can once and for all actually understand what is being done? IMO, anyone who comes up with a change suggestion should also be held responsible for coming up with a way to measure its success/failure (other than making a thread on the forum).

allow mini weasel
allow no lev emps...i notice myself waiting and hiding for 10 mins til im finally recharged from a random emp bomb

Im insanely happy with the new weasel settings...

more speed for bullet + ship gives is more of a chance in the open, and overall makes a decent fighter.

It's not as good for basing as the Stealth + cloak x, but it is still pretty good since it has more energy, and people still seem to have a problem watching radar, so that helps.

So, if it was up to me I would keep the current Weasel changes.

I don't have input on the lev....I always hated its very existence. All I can say is that it is better than the L3 bomb lev....at all costs keep the L3 lev out of the game....amen.

Weasel IMO should still be able to use stealth. Weasel having stealth increases the value of Terr, Jav and Lanc -- whereas otherwise XRadar is really not very useful at all except to the generally unobservant.

Causing issues? Simply make it drain faster -- much faster, if need be. There are options between 0 and infinity.

Terr is already the most important ship... do we really need to increase it's value even more?
Lanc and jav are also pretty strong as they are currently.

Nice! this update is good.

Levis don't have to be paranoid about x (because they can see them in radar)
Weasels not scared of Lancs anymore (because no OHKO shots)

Before it was more like rock-paper-scizzors but now it's more balanced

Wzl is a viable basing ship now because of higher energy, faster bullet and better speed
it can ambush with Cloak, but good players will watch radar. And weasels can see eachother now which is good for dueling.

Levi change is good too, it can now fight back to weasels.

Weasel has harder time in spawn now but an easier time in base, before it was the exact opposite.
This is good, it encourages basing and helping the team, weasel isn't a spawnkilling lamer now.

Leivs now have l2 bullets again qpr

[Board]

l1 red bullets are spider bullets, l2 yellow are lanc, and l3 blue bullets are wb that simple enough? (:

What do u mean by yellow bullets tho?
I have my own bullet graphics; no clue which are yellow

Fixed the mistake - and your solution, says it right under "Changes to Levi". L1 is red, L2 is yellow, L3 is blue.
