Probably a more interesting daydream though.

I'm really curious about your next chapter in Sean's adventure now, krm

Anyway, the old Alpha, Beta, Gamma system isn't that great, if you want to play around with new weapons. Making something new always requires to have own ideas, and not to copy old ones

just watched the video an the ships look great i only hope that was just a small sample of wat is to come u guys deserve a break after this but dont take it tell after the release of the mod of course

I always thought it could have used a little more differentiation in the various versions. Like a longer range from Alpha for a trade-off in power, or more power and shorter range in the Gamma versions, with Beta being a balance of the two.

Though I suspect I'm not the only one to think of that.

I know you said no questions, but I have to ask! Can we reverse the polarity of the Neutron Guns?

I have something to ask. Are the gates in XTC bigger? Because the terran valhalla looks so huge ...

"can we reverse polarity on the...." Tri my friend I think your over thinking things...lol. It's probably just a new gun made especially for the mod..lets wait to see how well it works before we redesign it..hehehe.

in the trailer i saw purple HEPTS on a nova and what looks like Stargate atlantis style drones on some kind of awsome pirate ship, lookded kinda like whats left of a X2 titan.

in geussing awsome weapons for awsome ships in an awsome new universe.
did i use the word awsome too meny times? awsome!

Triaxx2 · Post by **Triaxx2** » Mon, 6. Dec 10, 20:48

I was thinking specifically of the TVTrope, because Neutrons have no polarity.

Maybe that pirate battleship pounding that odysseus in the trailer is hinting that the pirates aren't going to be pushovers anymore. I especially like hearing that bit about an Akuma battle group only 3 hours in

Only if you Oscillate the flux capacitator, hack the alien mainframe with ms-dos, and reroute the power to frontal shields.

MadMan983 · Post by **MadMan983** » Mon, 6. Dec 10, 22:39

you forgot to realign the the plasma coils and recalabrate the phase genorator

and to ask for a Tea, earl Grey, hot.

EmperorJon · Post by **EmperorJon** » Mon, 6. Dec 10, 23:33

Earl Grey? Yes please.

Anyway, can't wait for some new guns, especially if they're colourful! And I wonder what the PBG has been... nerfed like?

Master of the Blade · Post by **Master of the Blade** » Mon, 6. Dec 10, 23:48

Speaking of tea... yes please.

New guns? I hop we get something like the Heavy Missile Gun back - that was so fun to use. *turn...turn**aim**POW!* Target disintegrates...

There's more to polarity than electric charge. Unfortunately the reasons for it get bogged down in quantum mechanics, but neutrons have spin (a special kind of angular momentum) and isospin (a thing that exists for the strong nuclear force). Of course, throwing good science after bad is a fruitless endeavour.

EmperorJon · Post by **EmperorJon** » Mon, 6. Dec 10, 23:51

Heavy Missile Gun!? *HAAAX!*

I did try to make a missle gun as it were once. A missile-frigate type ship, defence turrets with a massive central gun looking thing with a missle launch point in the middle, firing a huge superfast long range dumbfire missile. Effectively an FTLnukeflinger.

It didn't work, the AI tends to fire missiles in random directions ignoring the ships direction.

BackOT: I hope we get XTC before I learn how to MD... I'll need to integrate STFUnit with it.

Triaxx2 · Post by **Triaxx2** » Tue, 7. Dec 10, 00:11

Yes, I know that, but classically we learn that we have positrons, electrons, and neutrons. So there's technically no polarity to reverse.

And real men hack alien mainframes with OSX. (Or Linux, but those guys are freakin' scary.)

I hope PBG's are still around, but with a much tighter cone. And blue. Like lances of fire instead of flame throwers.

vindr20 · Post by **vindr20** » Tue, 7. Dec 10, 00:25

How do you hack alien mainframes with OSX? You'd hook it up and there'd be an "access denied" message popping up every few seconds. Besides "those guys" are not scary they just wear suits and sunglasses and have big guns and... oh yeah.

By the way, XTC looks so awesome my brother (who is extremely anti modding) couldn't wait to see it.

are those flying Khaak super mushrooms of death safe to eat?
