You can set the ion to autofire and it will spawn fireing without cr

short tartan
#

I don't know how I could have gone for a ram, tape positioned so well, I need someone to run me through anti trap training

young jacinth
hazy brook
#

i play enough dom to know trap positions lol

short tartan
#

yeah

spark prairie
#

ultra mini ion turret (capactatior is to allow it to shoot)

traps are my worst archetype to play and play against

geo it spawns in with power

so make it even better worse

spark prairie

not enough tho

lmao the nules

#

nukes

young jacinth
#

Those nukes were illegal

fast oracle
#

they were deff manual nukes

desert sky
#

sush

fast oracle
#

no theyre not illegal

hazy brook
#

why are they illegal

spark prairie
#

smallest laser turret possible (there is only 1 crew)

granite river
#

Uh oh ,_,

fast oracle
spark prairie
hazy root
#

Is it not best of 3 ?

fast oracle
#

i think "illegal nukes" should be allowed too

gilded spindle
#

checking for illegal nukes

hazy brook
hazy root
#

Oh okay

fast oracle
#

oki

desert sky
#

it's something that was left unpatched for years

#

at this point it's intended

spark prairie
gilded spindle
#

once nukes have a 360 fire radius I'll allow it

fast oracle
raven fern
#

Walt said it wasn't if I remember correctly

hazy brook
fast oracle
gilded spindle
#

Walt has quite literally said its not intended

granite river
#

Oh heck ://///

spark prairie
#

you could do this ig

hazy brook
fast oracle
#

how are these nukes illegal and locking allowed fine your call

desert sky
spark prairie
#

I dare you

fast oracle
#

oki :3

hazy brook
#

ok (explode the charge)

raven fern
fast oracle
#

it's why i stopped using nion,

short tartan
raven fern
#

Good news is that in a future rebalance mod tournament we don't need to worry about illegal nukes

spark prairie
#

mine is only 3k DOLLAR

hazy brook
granite river
#

I feel like "illegal nukes" should be allowed for the same reason that locking is allowed

spark prairie
#

only 3k

#

your ship is WEAK

young jacinth
fast oracle
#

i've succesfully sneaked in a couple of times illegal nukes in tourneys

#

Locking directly violates thruster deadzone

spark prairie
#

is it really worth it?

fast oracle
#

yeah i disagree it's more powerful but fine

hazy brook
spark prairie
#

me

#

you can make like 4 of my ships with that money

granite river
#

I don't disagree that locking is cool I just don't like that players can get beamed for something that they may not know about

duh

hazy brook

#

i knew tape was gonna play rails, thought it was gonna be a TB rail so was worried about using a flak wall

hazy brook
#

so i used traps instead

granite river
#

well done sno :D

short tartan
#

I was out planned

hazy root
#

Dang snow wp, I was sure you would play traps or morbiter

desert sky
#

playing the wildcard was a good call

short tartan
#

I'm never not going to use a flak wall again :3

hazy root
desert sky
fast oracle
#

my problem with "illegal nukes" is the name

#

if you call them illegal of course they shouldnt be allowed

hazy root
#

those side nukes are pain

gilded spindle
short tartan
#

if anything at least I'm consistent, last tournament I also got 1-2 and got a buy in a round

gilded spindle
#

but realistically its based on if its actually fun, is it interesting and unique?

fast oracle
#

it's your call though

gilded spindle
#

its not of the same calibre as locking, explosion guns, pikes, nuke flingers etc

trim anchor
#

who won the losers bracket?

gilded spindle
#

stil ongoing

fast oracle
trim anchor
#

got it

spark prairie
#

wait guessing I don't, but do I get a 3rd chance or something

trim anchor
#

who remaining?

fast oracle

I love the squib.

trim anchor

sadly i didn't meet my goal of not getting last place

fast oracle

yes :3

but i still took a fair amount of experience away

@desert sky commentators are wondering pronouns

What a nice duel

granite river

Oh heckkkkkkk

Nooooo that was so close

desert sky

#

That moment when you told tape "I have my pick" sounded so ominous somehow haha

fast oracle
#

welp blaze vs tape

desert sky
#

i'm glad i got this far

granite river
#

You did really good sno :p

desert sky
#

this this is over i can finally post Mischief now :P

thanks alot to @granite river who helped me optimizing it, without em i wouldn't have won against Luna

fast oracle
#

i didn't understand why you werent adding mines to them if you were having trouble with rammers

granite river
spark prairie
#

I may actually take you up on that offer, I only really know the basics

gilded spindle

who won round 1?

spark prairie

gg gameknight, deserved. Thank you for hosting slow and blaze ๐Ÿ’œ

Jokes aside, tape beat me fair and square so well played!

ye tape surprised us all i think

raven fern
# naive lion ye tape surprised us all i think

Tell me about it, dude is meme'ing his way through the tournament and almost winning. I don't think I need a round of testing for the rebalance mod now to determine if rails are in need of a buff haha

gilded spindle

very well done to all participants, and congrats on winning GK

Your opponent can't destroy your ship if you destroy it yourself first! I just had to clip this

i strategized fearing flak walls

If you target yourself it will friendly fire

#

Other wise no

#

Same thing like chopping of your own frontal armor with aimable ions

desert sky
#

@gilded spindle @raven fern my pronouns are he/his.
watchin the replay & while i don't usually correct people, tbh i don't really care about pronouns, but i've felt some discomfort when you started to stutter about it during your commentating.

although i do think the "I mean God knows--" by slowking is pretty funny xd

hollow socket
#

Hmmm

gilded spindle
upbeat ridge
#

๐Ÿ˜“ sorry snow

vocal cloak
#

I think its best to just stick with names and not deal with pronouns, it will be abit awkward

vocal cloak
#

Using they/them is 2nd best choice but sometimes invite unecessary arguing, also abit confusing if your english is garbage

fast oracle
#

they them is fine if you use it for everyone you don't know too yep

desert sky
#

aaaa i do not want to start this again
i don't care say whatever you want but please pick one over the other

#

(even if arbitrary)

hazy root
short tartan
#

maybe the solution is putting your pronouns in your name or profile

gilded spindle

not the place for this conversation

Who can create a tournament ? I would like to make a build competition for artistic refineries, in 3 round for 3 ressources (or ressource group), and noted in art and cost efficiency

hybrid tulip

okay thanks

@young jacinth are you sure this is even remotely playable?

young jacinth

Its gonna be fun at least

#

And yes I did test runs

Doing some games against sorail rn

it'll be a very small tournament

you'll boost a hole straight through the enemy ship and asteroids

if you hit an asteroid you'd take it with you to the rod

gilded spindle

I was fixing it

#

you can read now

desert sky
#

thanks sweetie

raven fern
#

Hey slow, did you forget to create a sign-up post or should we use the one from the January tournament?

gilded spindle
#

yep, it'll be reused

desert sky
#

veto sound intresting

white apex
#

@gilded spindle how r seeds given

short tartan
#

I like this ruleset :3

#

@gilded spindle question about the weapon veto rule, if someone wants to play a ship with that weapon are they allowed to play it but with that weapon turned off?

white apex
#

yes i love needing to make monoweapon versions of all my ships

short tartan
#

the main weapon I'm thinking of is ebs which a lot of ships have

rain loom
#

That is a really good point on a specific weapon type.

#

Also, I am presuming that you specifically have to choose nukes, he, mines, emp rather than just a missile launcher to negate it.

gilded spindle
#

yep, every weapon type is an option and ones that can change like missiles are each individual choices

#

and if you preload a missile type to negate the ban rule, that's an immediate loss

hard rover
#

we may have a problem...

#

why all shorttุŸุŸุŸ

#

add more words goddamit

white apex
#

or can u just not use the thpe during the whole match

gilded spindle
#

Ban means in this case to not have them at all

hard rover
#

hmmmm

gilded spindle
#

so just save a new one without mines for example

hard rover
#

i can win this with a railfan! yay

#

also i assume nre is counted as a bug

hard rover
#

luna gets ions veto'd and kine gets dc veto'd

#

unless luna has a deckcannon rammer that i do not know about

#

or i can just veto dc and use mines

#

that also works

gilded spindle
#

I'll ask walt what of the pvp viable bugs will be banned

hard rover
#

360 ik is banned but nre i don't remember

gilded spindle
#

Though if you think of NRE in a basic way, it's not a bug

#

its just shooting nukes at a small target that they'll inevitably miss and shoot out forward

hard rover
#

i'd be using it like on this ship

#

(it has preload mines btw)

gilded spindle
#

I understand

gilded spindle
#

all weapons includes them

#

tb can be argued for, but PD has an attack setting so it is straightup a weapon

hard rover
#

i'd count tb as a weapon

#

tho banning it is kinda worthless

#

if you fear tb rails just ban rails

granite river
#

sumo

hard rover
#

who even uses that?

#

blaze apparently

white apex
#

and pd is in a weapon category

raven fern
rain loom
#

I felt bad for my opponent who's locking effort messed up twice. Although I almost lost due to horrible piloting.

raven fern
#

Yeah that was unfortunate. It was either due to the lag spikes during that match or there was a flaw with the lock as if it works once then it works every time

gilded spindle
#

I'll be editing the document briefly,

short tartan
gilded spindle
#

All exploits are on the table, aside from the 360 nuke bug

short tartan
#

nice

sterile flame
#

It had around a 1/48ish chance of failure

short tartan
gilded spindle
#

I dont see a reason why I should allow a banned weapon in the game

#

if anything it's an advantage

#

if you want to use your avoider still when ebs are banned, just make a hl version

naive lion
#

The problem is not everyone is gonna want to build a bunch of new ships just in case one of their hybrids' weapons gets banned.

short tartan
#

i dont understand why you think its an advantage but alr

naive lion
#

Ships like ul nukes can get banned by both pd and nukes, to combat this people are expected to build variations of all of these hybrid type ships

gilded spindle
#

I mean that's a fair way to put it

#

I think this was polled before in favor of allowing banned weapons if they are turned off

naive lion
#

It would just allow more people to use the ships they want without the time investment of ship modifications just for a rule

gilded spindle
#

I suppose that's fair, though should I poll it or rather just set it as such in the rules

short tartan
#

i mean im on the side of just adding it but a poll would make sense

sterile flame
#

For preloaded Weapons I assume you'ld have to fire them when you spawn in?

desert sky
gilded spindle
#

No 360 nukes

short tartan
#

i might go through after the tournement and see what weapons are banned the most

#

my hypothesis is disruptors

sterile flame
#

I'm thinking either nukes or mines.

which pip bug is both

young jacinth

Ah ok

raven fern

Pip exploit โŒ
Nuke exploit โŒ
Locking exploit โœ…
NRE โœ…
Crew pretask โœ…
Mine instant arming โœ…

gilded spindle
#

NRE, technically crew pretask

#

mine instant arming

raven fern
#

The last 3 are authorized I imagine?

gilded spindle
#

yep

young jacinth
#

None of those are exploits imo

#

Ok NRE could maybe be considered one

gilded spindle
#

two are creative solutions to non-problems and the other is just inconsistent

young jacinth
#

Still disagree with inconsistent lol

raven fern
young jacinth
#

And I dont even really have a lot of practice with mines

raven fern
#

Only when you're going at full speed I imagine?

gilded spindle
#

I made classic cannon traps in modern but with no armour and speed recently

young jacinth
#

I mean I have a feeling for how fast they are going to arm

gilded spindle
#

but yea, mines need 120 for arm afaik

raven fern
young jacinth
#

My avoider only goes ~105 straight backwards and it works

#

Its a very large range

gilded spindle
#

slow much?

young jacinth
#

?

gilded spindle
#

but I guess, my avoider does 115 ish and never arms

#

it might just have minor sweet spots

short tartan
#

whats NRE?

gilded spindle
#

Nuke range extension

short tartan
#

ah

young jacinth
short tartan
#

is mine instant arming just go a certain speed?

young jacinth
#

Thats what I think at least

raven fern
#

There are multiple ranges of speed where it's possible to instantly arm them. We know that around 120m/s it's possible and according to Plaus it is as well around 105m/s

#

I think 75m/s too

short tartan
#

alr

young jacinth
spring fable
#

I think I got one to go at 90 smthn once or twice

raven fern
#

I remember doing it around that speed a while ago, cant say for sure it's 75m/s. I'd have to check again.
Discovering every possible speed where instantly arming mines is possible shouldn't be difficult. Just time consuming to iterate through let's say 50m/s to 180m/s

young jacinth
short tartan
hazy brook
#

ah ok

#

already knew this with some mine kiter stuff

#

also im done for in the next tournament lol someone can just ban rails

hollow socket
#

What if we choose to ban thrusters during the match?

upbeat ridge
#

bans huge thrusters

hard rover
desert sky
#

what happen if the player only have ship of one weapon and it get banned? it's fairly common in tournaments to have a player with a single ship
do they just get disqualified

hard rover
#

can't they just use another ship? if not then they just turn it off and try to not die ig or i just didn't read the rules properly

gilded spindle
#

If you only have one ship for a tournament thatโ€™s meant to bring variety youโ€™re not playing to win

#

Just have two ships

desert sky
#

ah yes they will just turn weapon off

hard rover
#

just don't play the ship with the banned weapon

#

as slowk said make another ship, have some variety

trim anchor
#

@gilded spindle could you tell me which weapons are banned on the tournament on the 24th?

#

please be mines

young jacinth
#

The players decide before every match

hard rover
#

iirc each player picks a weapon

#

i have enough time to get good at something other than rails

#

avoider players are y'all willing to teach me? ๐Ÿฅบ

white apex
#

@gilded spindle how are seeds determined

hard rover
#

i'll start by making 40%-66% weapons avoider

white apex
#

i think i could just attend w/ last tourney's ships

#

*that i was in

#

since they were also build for weapon choice

gilded spindle
white apex
#

wdym

#

what is the process

gilded spindle
#

say if 1 paragon, 1 expert and 1 adept signed up, paragon gets seed 1, expert seed 2 and adept seed 3

white apex
#

i see

gilded spindle
#

and if they dont fit into that I'll draw my own judgement

white apex
#

what about people not in excelsior?

gilded spindle
#

They'll be seeded on expectancy to win, basically how I and other hosts see their chances of perfect winning the tourney over others

white apex
#

sooo basically the hosts just eyeballing it

raven fern
#

Pretty much, same way it was done in previous tournaments with Saris

hazy root
hard rover
#

lmao

gilded spindle
#

avoiders are too fun not to take

hard rover
#

i'll take an ultraheavy nuke orbi with me anyways

short tartan
#

take all the ships

hard rover
#

however i cannot guarantee that i can use them properly

upbeat ridge
granite river
#

nuki if you're serious about wanting to learn avoiders I'm happy to teach you a bit

snow seal
hard rover
granite river
#

learning avoiders is really hard you better be quite serious lol

#

but basics arenโ€™t too bad

hard rover
#

ok forget about avoiders i've failed to build one so i am going to assume iam going to suck at it, i'll just bring a morbiter or something with me and hope no one bans rails

granite river
#

Well if they known you main rails theyโ€™re going to ban rails

hollow socket
#

I play exclusively rails,

short tartan
#

better diversify before the tournament

hollow socket
#

I'll have someone lend me their non rail ship if rails get banned and improvise

short tartan
#

can't use other people's ships iirc

young jacinth
hybrid tulip
#

You can't use other people ships for the 0 drag tournament ?

hybrid tulip
#

Then it's my ship I was just heavily inspired by something I found on exelsior

granite river
#

avoider? ๐Ÿ‘€

hybrid tulip
#

Avoiders are bad in 0 drag

#

You can't change direction easily

granite river
#

Ah, right

#

,_,

hybrid tulip
#

They aren't unplayable

#

just not as good as usually

#

It's like driving a supercar with no brakes

young jacinth
#

There are better things but avoiders are decent

granite river
#

It seems like low rampup would be less of an advantage

#

Also, rails exist ,_,

hybrid tulip
#

Ahah yes

#

you can't outurn anything now

young jacinth
#

The main advantage is that you can face the enemy while slowing down

#

also low rampup probably is very good

hybrid tulip
#

Also, low rampup literally means nothing, once you accelerate to certain speed, it won't allow to change direcion any faster

#

worse, the lack of engine power will literally tacle you

and then again, rammer users won't ban rails anyways because they counter them

#

however anyone with ss would ban rails immediately

desert sky

hey why won't you make a tb rail

hard rover
#

i already have some but i mostly forgor about them when i wrote that

#

thanks for reminding people will ban rails either way

#

ig time to surrender to ulnuke speed meta...

unless someone bans nukes instead of rails that is

i will live a railfan main and i will die a railfan main

I was plaus close to be a champion

Plaus is another level of brain

I managed to beat him once in a FFA

with point defense ahah

surreal pecan

I mean I've beaten him a lot but I'm not as good as him.

Because I am innately not a tryhard I guess.

trying to get the ship to move where you want to go

Especially when you are playing at 5 fps so you have no idea how fast your ship is actually moving

Then shoot past the enemy, into the rod to never be seen again

I wonder what the module thruster + no drag would do to this universe.

because if you start moving at anything faster than 5m/s you'd end up in rod before you can even fire once

@gilded spindle Does vetoing a weapon apply to both players or just the opponent?

gilded spindle
#

just the opponent

fast oracle
#

@gilded spindle can we veto tractor beams

fast oracle
#

can we veto control rooms

short tartan
hollow socket
#

technically

#

it is a weapon

fast oracle
#

so that's why i'm asking

hollow socket
#

if you have none, you cannot deal damage, and weapons deal damage, therefore it is a weapon

fast oracle
#

I think it's reasonable to ban tb

short tartan
#

agreed

rain loom
#

The real question is would explosive charges count as a weapon? I hope not for hooks/combind ships. (I think tb is more of a weapon type compared typically with explosive charges.)

gilded spindle
#

You can weaponise reactors and thatโ€™s not bannable

#

As of now I feel TB are a movement option and not a weapon so for now, not going to be bannable

upbeat ridge
#

wait til someone brings a sumo ship

white apex
#

also tb is not under a weapon category

surreal pecan

(Big asterisk, I am not fully aware about this tournament as I've been living in a comfy boulder for last couple months, whatever I'm saying might be completely wrong)

gilded spindle
#

They brought three ships with similar counters and such, and you can do a similar thing with deck cannons and ions

young jacinth
surreal pecan
#

Oh so you ban a weapon type over banning a ship and having one weapon type.

#

Veeery interesting.

young jacinth
surreal pecan
#

*Per ship

#

I mean per set.

#

So like you can't use the same weapon on two ships.

#

It was a tourney Saris did a couple months ago.

#

Also wow @young jacinth #tournament-announcements message This is such a phenomenal and fun idea for a tournament, I applaud you.

#

What is the settings?

young jacinth
#

forgor to attach rip

surreal pecan

I think having a large map with big distance between players would be good, just so they have time to spread out and strategize.

# hard rover im barely holding myself from dumping all my possible strategies pregame here

Yeah it can be very tempting to share your smart ideas and mind games, but... The issue is it ruins those ideas in of itself as suddently everyone can use them and the playing field becomes both more unpredictable yet more predictable at the same time to its detriment (Fancy way of saying your strategy loses surprise element and thus power). It's like dissecting a frog, you share its ins and outs but you kill it in the process.

hard rover

all the strats are soooo coool and interesting i love this tournament

should i troll or should i take this seriously hmm?

i'll do my part

#

counter them with hd railfan >:3

surreal pecan

Again I forgot what HD railfan is.

#

It definitely doesn't imply 1080p

hard rover
#

according to qawa it is 1080p railfan

#

high damage railfan, just a typically shieldless railfan designed for maximum damage and rail length

hard rover
#

avoiders when i can oneshot even when they spread all the damage

#

Launch mines at the same speed your ship is going so they instantly stop in place

#

Which arms them

granite river
#

:p

white apex
#

that is like saying momentum boosting missiles so their trajectory changes is an exploit

granite river
#

Thereโ€™s not a lot of counterplay

surreal pecan
#

Momentum manipulation shouldn't even count as an exploit, it's literally just nukeflinging for mines.

hazy brook
#

it doesnt count as one

#

the checks are the allowed ones

white apex
#

could change mine behavior to time instead of speed but that has other issues

fast oracle

having funny thoughts about building a small laser avoider in case someone bans hl

vocal cloak
#

do it

granite river
#

quick clarification question, do weapon bans happen before or after ship selection? seems to me like before but iโ€™m not 100% sure

#

because a ban after could just be crippling lmao

hard rover
#

imo banning disrupters is better than banning hls

granite river
#

nah, I disagree because

#

I have other plans :p

#

hehehe

i wanna make someone ban hl

it would be funny

if i could ban thrusters i'd just ban your ers and see what happens

vocal cloak

if i ban something i myself cant use it right?

hard rover
#

nope

granite river
#

ohhh it applies to both?

vocal cloak

idk

hard rover
#

if you ban it only your opponent wouldn't be able to use it

granite river
#

oh

#

damn it wouldโ€™ve been crazy if it was a double ban

vocal cloak
#

@gilded spindle how does this work? if i ban something is it for both sides or only enemy?

hard rover
granite river
#

hehe, i wanna play but just havenโ€™t built stuff for it yet

hard rover
#

i can't participate either way so idk

granite river

would feel good to ban shit like eb lol

granite river
hard rover
#

i sleep at 10pm due to school (weekends being thursday and friday are an exception)

granite river

Wanna strategize a bit for fun lol

#

totally not worried about getting crucial things banned and needing a backup

granite river
#

@gilded spindle question regarding launchers - if my opponent bans something like mines that i have in my missile launchers, but i have nuke parts to reload, is it acceptable to simply switch the launcher type and leave the mine parts in space?

gilded spindle
#

You can do that as long as the banned weapon is never used

granite river
#

Aye

Sweet

Hey Nick hope someday you will get back the hype. I would really appreciate to see you again in a turney.

Seeing ships that only you build and play is always refreshing

i might have to withdraw again but hopefully not

at the tournament's time i have to play terraria multiplayer with kokice and slime, finish ftl ship and sleep

maybe i can make it though

granite river

but i understand not feeling up to your standards

And besides, youโ€™re losing nothing at all by joining aside a little time and itโ€™s mainly for fun

#

Sweating profusely and trying to win is a close second though

ik i can't win because people would just ban rails for me so that i don't use my best ships so i am going full meme material

Question about the ban, I think already answered, but to be sure. When you ban a weapon, it's only for the opponent right ? So if I ban nukes, I will be able to use Nukes ? I prefer to be sure ๐Ÿ˜‰
