woe, NZ ping upon ye
i think ive severely underestimated mung's skill, i thought he was low expert π
you killed the gate garden
bro is built different
nah mung's at least as good as me at ions and does other archetypes better
i literally said hes one of the players to watch out for far faster growth than me
a god at aesthetic ships and elim ships
accy crazy
not a ton of ppl in history like taht
true true
cough saris
not a ton of ppl in history
where in that sentence did i say hes the only one
lmao
waiting for meekoz the revolutionize the heavy laser biter meta
also btw where do i get tournament participant role
i don't know
i guess you could say "diety" is a decent gender neutral alternative to god and goddess
where do i get the tournament champion role
if they identify as a god then Ill gladly accept that
yeah true
its not in any of the role lists
accy imma forward that post to discord meta
skill
Iβm sorry that was insensitive
who won
mung
Mung 1st plaus 2nd me 3rd
@young jacinth Mungbean is our new champion correct? Asking to grant the role
he is
Congrats on becoming a champion Mungbean, enjoy the red color!
I always thought it was pink
Congratulations @tacit nacelle !
Yes
A little late lmao
Dw we all waited for you
living up to your name there
You may design your own ship or pick one made available
@raven fern What avalible exactly?
As in one posted by other people on any of the available platforms
I'll also soon edit the announcement with a workshop link to the modified tracks and last year's racing ships
What's the budget
Nice, means you can make a crash machine with your infinite credits
Or you can read the information documents and see that it needs to be a legal ship π
Uhh???
So just a build grid of thrusters
You could do that, although more isn't necessarily better. In case you haven't read the document it's a 25x25
You can make a crash machine without surpassing the borders :>
True, there are designs like Salephz's crash machine. Which is why I request that players send me their ships so I can check them as wellπ
@raven fern You said it that the 25x25 area include thruster nozzle, can you please tell me if that's also the case for PDs & EMPs?
If it has a hitbox then it must fit within the 25x25
So PD's turret is counted as a full block?
Yep
Thankies
Glad I already planned accordingly
I think it's sad you cannot see the trailer from the in-game message and neither through the doc if you end up clicking it
I edited the google doc, I don't think it's possible to have a playable video in game
typo
btw what version is it going to be played on?
wait there aren't any active rcs
Sure
Holy Toldedo
@raven fern Nexxt trial run is tonight, right?
Yeah I'll try to host for an hour tonight
@trim anchor youre the only one signed up for the classic tourney. You still wanna play? We can do a quick bo5
how about a bo3
id still be down to play
alright
kind of a shame that more ppl didn't come tho, i thought it was a super neat tournament idea
if you want, we could do it rn just to get it done wtih
sure Ill start the game and stream
nice
hosting
pass?
classic
blaze is late smh
damn I dont ahve the workshop version ups
@raven fern are you hosting today?
So Wizard is just a German train
Oh sheesh tourney I lowk forgor and just woke up but did have an alarm set to remind me
I'll be available in 30 mins hopefully sorry if it delays the brackets a lil
AH I clean forgot about the ship DM requirement and just re-read the rules
sorry >-<
still installing cosmoteer on this PC and it's going very slowly, so even if the tournament start is delayed, I don't think there's time for me to get ready
No worries, we're doing trial runs in about 20 mins to allow the players to warm up and then the tournament itself happens 1h after that
AH cool
We'll do the trial runs in 10-15mins as I'm doing some last min checks
Phew, Goodness
Well I am here at last!
Oh, it's completely fine I understand. Wish the best for you and for them
Wishing you all the best blaze
My heart goes out to your family member blaze, infinitely more important than any cosmoteer event
@serene latch @snow seal @zenith current @young jacinth @rotund socket @crystal python @cobalt bloom @sharp bane @desert sky
I'm currently looking to pick a new date for the Grand Prix. This is also an opportunity for those who couldn't participate to sign up now.
1οΈβ£ <t:1735326000:F>
2οΈβ£ <t:1735412400:F>
3οΈβ£ Some other time in January
Poll created.
This is the last time I will ping you all, apologies for all the trouble.
ππ monday 30th?
btw how are we going to do the races with more than 7 racers?
Eh that might be difficult to get everyone to agree to show up on a monday. I take it you can't show up on the suggested dates?
Same as last year, 4 player brackets
#tournament-announcements message
link to the tracks is broken :(
I found the tracks of the last grand prix, are they the same? #general message https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/530901882219003908/1180949647200624690/Racetracks.zip?ex=672d1110&is=672bbf90&hm=cfcf05d0d8fa7c9d73e0f4b0f2325a2c5874537006396734029a4c9919cae6ac&
They are, minus the pitstop area for your backup ships. I'll share a new link asap
okay i have a better knowledge of my availability.. still can't make friday or saturday but sunday works π₯Ί
I don't know how many will read this but react with β if you guys can make it on Sunday the 29th
i think it's better if u put that in he signup channel?
wait or a poll in #tournament-announcements
@gilded spindle can i assume no tourney this month bc holidays?
Yeah, spend time with people you enjoy
@crystal python it says the time adjusted for your timezone in [this message](#1313225016896258150 message)
didnt notice, and just edited it
But cosmoteer...
@zenith current @gilded spindle @hard rover @rotund socket @zenith current As you reacted in the previous poll, I wanted to know your availabilities for this latest one
Alright, I've edited the message in #tournament-announcements as it would seem that Sunday is the prefered day.
Wait so do we need to confirm our signs ups again?
Nah
All of you who already confirmed again have reacted as available in the poll above so it's fine
thank you blaze π₯Ή
hey just to be sure about the Grand Prix rules - "thruster cones" means the nozzle texture at the end, right? or is it referring to the no-build zone emitted by the thruster?
Yeah, basically anything that has a hitbox needs to be within the 25x25 limit
got it, thank you :)
can ctrlc ctrlv a box with a 25x25 hole without destroying any of the ship
One more question about grand prix ships - are we allowed to paint them if we make R/G/Y/B variants? Or should they just be coated with the same solid color?
You can do so!
As long as they can distinctively be recognized as one of the four colors
got it, thanks!
ok actual last question: does anyone have the race tracks? The link on the discord doesn't work anymore and I couldn't find anything through searching the server/steam workshop
if it can fit in a 25x25, or fit in a 27x27 corridoor square without colliding with it
@raven fern the link to the race tracks seems to be broken. Here they are in the meantime
thank you so much!
eno linked them already..
I had this issue with my paint contest already, you just cannot give a permanant link to discord attachments outside of discord itself.
You either have to keep updating it every few days or use a link to a more conventional data holder such as good ol google drive
^ yeah, they realised people were using discord as a personal CDN and cut the support for it
@young jacinth Did you stopped to mention unofficial/awards
Yea a long time ago. I thought its enough that official tournaments state they are official
Oh wow, finally an autopilot tournament.
It's just Plaus goofing around with stuff, fighting a clone of himself maybe
.Not even like an ai tournament where people submit ships XD.
is that grand prix trial run still going on today?
I saw in the announcements that there was gonna be a training run 24hrs prior
The tournament starts tomorrow, if a miss understanding happened or Blaze forgot if you want I can still host some laps
A better way to phrase this would be "can still race with me if anything"
oh ok I see then, ty
I'm a smidge busy atm so I'll just wait for the main tournament in 24hrs :)
Hm, that's an edit mistake. Meant to change the indicated time for when the tournament would take place.
With the holidays I haven't been able to organize additional trial runs. I might host a lobby today before the tournament.
so xsnow and firstadmiralhodge remaining?\
Apparently
@raven fern
I cant talk so I cant tell you @raven fern :(
A training lobby has been set up while we wait for the last remaining players
requesting to join the training lobby
what's the lobby called
Lobby has been opened, you can find the lobby in co-op 3AL. Name: Grand Prix
loadin' the mod
I haven't joined yet!
Who?
getting my sound working can't hear yet
Yes in a moment, trial runs are still going
Please ping me as soon as possible
The lack of a partner to train with completely annihilated my practice time
Though I admit I should've asked Plaus
ah full :(
rip
am ready as well
@raven fern if u want u can also save all the recs then at another time with someone else to help cast make a video of just reacting to the races
u will still be here
just bc u haven't set up streaming
okok cool sorry to distract u rn
Feel free to steal my design @cloud escarp
-Insert the one reactor 2 HT 1 MRT engine room design in this meme-
tbh I don't think I will, I quite like my design
but I appreciate the gesture :)
@raven fern If I understood correctly this is the loser bracket match that will decide which player goes into the final round?
Thank you slowking!
Thank you blaze!
Thanks to all contestants I had a very much ton amount of fun
thanks everyone! this was super fun and I learned a lot
also my despair when I started slipping up at the final race was insurmountable lol
I was ready to accept second place when I saw your large mass in front of me
I'm surprised it did so well in that track tbh, in the test runs I did it was awful in that track specifically
didn't practice salephz's tracks enough though
The final race was the most uncertain one we got. Players snatching first place from each other midway through. It was great fun to watch you all pilot!
@desert sky congrats (:
Is there a replay (twitch/YouTube) of the grand prix available?
Blaze said he was gonna make a highlights video
Sounds good, will wait for it then
@desert sky congrats!!!!!! I'm so proud of you :p
Thank you! I am so happy!
I am glad I could participate in this year (couldn't last year) but Hey! Tithy! We still haven't both fought!
God knows how much the turns are tight and the track feels wine when I was training with you back then
And we both have wins now :p
Iβd love to race you sometime
@hard rover
omw
lol theres a tourney?
yea the unofficial bnb one
@supple vapor
@supple vapor @hard rover
@gilded spindle @supple vapor
sec im being ddosed
why did the game get stuck desyncing
@hard rover guess we fight first instead
bnb moment
imagine if y'all had like 16 players with the same number of rounds per game
double elim
it was round robin
also holy i just landed 2 epic nuke hits on plaus with an ion kite
@hard rover you comming back?
4 player 3 hour tourney is wild
And 2 people are gone
Plaus A.I forgot to disconnect from the call.
@gilded spindle are you alive?
@young jacinth countdown to nuclear annihilation
win by no contest/ win/ or 3 way tie hell
ok congratulations to @supple vaporwho won the tournament
Ah yes, very tournament chat moment.
So fish is the best builder
He needs to move to switzerland to make 35$/hour by putting down bricks as tiler
Better than working at mcdonalds
its the dom master training arc
Agreed
ending career early for this tbh
There was already one.
I won :>
Hey don't say it wasn't worth it.
Oh shoot I think I'm still in debt with you.
Well, strategic debt taking is the winner, UK following WWI had 160% debt to gdp ratio
minor error
ty
Am I not?
I am an honest tax payer.
I started painting pink fluffy unicorn 8 months ago and it's been 80% done ever since.
@young jacinth @desert sky @cloud escarp
Just checking up, all three of you received your gift links right?
yes
Yes I did !
I sure did!
I haven't spoke about it but the delivery will happens in a few days now
Iβma take a photo of the mug I got and send it somewhere here lol
Shipping fees were indeed covered and for that I am happy
(I am not that whole intrested in spending money in merch in all honestly)
Wouldn't be much of a gift if you had to pay fees π
Complete it 100% in the 10 month milestone
He doesn't need it anymore.
@young jacinth May I ask is the 1pm Britain time or EST
its adjusted to your time zone
Oh baller thanks
#1328077553327411351 message @tired cipher its your time zone
ok I can't really share a photo of it 'cause it's too reflective for my comfort but I did get my mug today :)
@young jacinth thanks for answering! Sorry that I just saw this message now.
.
Well they should have focused me a third time
yeah people do need to put you higher on the target list
@gilded spindle tournament this month? (I forgot your answer when I asked earlier)
Something something next month, early next month but yeah
it'd be nice if it was at an oceania-friendly timezone
sea-friendly tourney when
I'm sorry, the users like me living in Eurasia or Eastasia simply don't respect their Oceanian peers' sleep schedules, I think we should change that.
That either fucks up my time, or the US time... I don't know what I can do to help that
Until we get a dedicated host for other time zones there really isn't much that can be done
@gusty sequoia #1332333320490717196 message its adjusted to your time
thanks, sorry I asked in the wrong chat <3
np
I would gladly join but arh, host time not ideal
when would it be better?
Litterally an hour later, cos at this point and on I have all but nothing and it isnt a hassle to attend anything lengthy
The ideal is two hours later but then it would start to overlap with me needing to sleep if it lengthen too much
if the time is variable, an hour earlier would also be better for me as well (I only have an hour and a half after the scheduled time)
snow wants an hour later not earlier
ah my bad, sorry miss read
π€· kinda normal to never have a host time that fits everyone's schedule
Sorry for the late response I kinda forgot. Can you still participate if its an hour later?
Excuse me?
As I said an hour later is a better time than it is currently, and yes I would be able to participate
I mean I wanted to change the time earlier.
Its one hour later now
If you mean it happens at 21:00 utc+2 then I can definitively sign up
I adjusted the time on the announcement
Yeah it's good for me
Tragic I canβt make the 500k tourney
also I wanted to ask, what is classified as "cancer paint"? is stuff like the cabal of sol ships or the attached target block be too far? or is it just really particularly egregious stuff?
cabal ships are fine - in fact cabal style is the most common style used on pvp ships
cancer paint is paint designed to be deliberately difficult to look at
extremely bright and saturated, clashing colours, no care put into actually making it look good
@gusty sequoia sorry I didnt realize you were signing up
Oh no, cancer paint is something much much worse. There's been arguments claiming we should not give exemples of cancer paint just not to share the technique, but in it's worse form cancer paint is more than able to veil the glow of a large reactor and of any roof sprites regardless, and make it blend so hard in weird camo patterns that makes the ship unreadable
I wouldn't call this cancer paint, that's just bad taste!
the difference between "really bad paint" and "cancer paint" is the same as the difference between a camera flash and a flashbang grenade
I'd claim it's rather unfair to essentially replace a lesser known player for someone that has been active for many years... I am willing to give up my place if necessary
Really bad paint is most of the time not physically eye-hurting.
no worries, I got all the time in the world to get to a tourney, and the original time was already kinda pushing it.
that's unfortunate, I was actually looking into something similar to the RN's dazzle camouflage, and am worried that might technically counts as cancer paint
You should generally avoid good dazzle camouflage, those are generally considered unfun to play against
noted
Wow it's moving.
I really biffed the paint π . it was meant to be very clear where and how damage was done, but instead it just gives me a headache
So I am incredibly late with tournaments lately
Late tourney is better than no tourney
Don't worry... We already expect you to be slow, king.

Waaait how did you not get automodded?
Was the joke so bad dyno greenlit your rotten tomatos score?
lmao I guess so
wait you mean like WW2 ship dazzle camo?
@young jacinth Could you ping me early in the morning for tomorrow's tournament?
whats early for you?
5 to 10 hours before the tournament
What's early for you?
Are you not from france?
Its pretty much the same if so
Im in austria
Why are you asking me if you know my location then x)
cause I wasnt sure
Alright alright, thank you anyways Plaus
just set an alarm alright I can ping you
I can set an alarm but I'm afraid either I won't be in my room to turn it off and let it loudly ring for several minutes or my phone will be dead silent because it won't be turned on
@young jacinth psst be sure to update the brackets
only the first bo3 match was there
I updated it
maybe this should be pinned
@gilded spindle any word on the feb tournament? the jan one got cancelled and you mentioned sometime that the one in feb will be early in the month
Honestly I've made a fine mess out of the tournaments lately, I'll organise soon
So January tourney is canceled and there should be one for February are we still running the pick ban system with 5 ships?
It was fun and I liked it Iβm just confirming
@gilded spindle tourney this month?
3v3 tourney when
I'm not sure there are enough active players to field more than two teams for a 3v3 π
even getting 2 teams is a stretch
With a fun twist I think it could be possible, but definitely not at the usual 1.5mil requirements
Giving each player 100k credits would be pretty funny
@young jacinth by "explosives" you mean charges right
yea and self destructing reactors
fuck
Anyone teammate?
Oh my god this looks like so much fun but Iβll be on a moving train at that time ;;-;;
@young jacinth u should have tbs far ish from the track that push the ball
like with only 1 player it keeps going to the wall
why? Feels like that would just be annoying
if they are far enough it shouldnt affect too much, just something to passively unstuck the ball
if its enough to do that its enough to be annoying
and the ball getting stuck wasnt a big issue in testing anyways
@supple vapor ?
For the football tourney will self destructing oneβs own parts be allowed? (Things like structure not reactors :p)
@willow cargo wanna be my teammate for the football tourney?
I'd be willing if april wants to play and has a teammate
Fine with either
yess lets do this
no
Ah well. Thanks :p
hell yea
i also made a new footballer thatβs a lot better
We can team if you want
Are you going to participate in your own tournament?
Again?
Always
I canβt wait for this, doing a 2v1 vs april and plaus and winning was pure adrenaline lol
yea youll stomp the other teams lol
Its a tournament not a casual play lobby
Ig no February tourney I havenβt heard from slowking has anyone else?
we should have like a backup tourney host
Plaus plausibly? π
if anyone really wants to join but can't find another teammate i can be available to play, but otherwise will not
I'd be interested in the football kinda depends on how this week goes, I'll keep everyone informed
We need no less than 23 members. One host/refree is a must, the rest are players.
don't forget commentators
ποΈ
@wispy hornet reminder to make football tourney signup post in case you forgor
noticed yours wasnβt there
@desert sky what about you?
I still haven't found a teammate, and I'm yet to ponder whether I should team up with the host.
Are you going to like, partake as participant regardless of if I team up with you or not?
@heady ginkgo Asking that a bit out of the blue; do you want to go vroom vroom brrrrrrrruuuuum knock playing football but like, in space?
probably
but dont worry i wont win this time lol
there are stronger players
Ha ha, sure mate :D
It's tomorrow (march one) 18:00 utc+1, (though methink it'd be better if we started even trying the game mode before the event starts) hope you are avaliable
I haven't read the rules yet so we will likely discover them together :D
Aye, im available
@royal gust you wanted to play too? We could still team up
Do you perhaps want to try out the gamemode now?
Sure, I have some spare time
Nice π
I figured it would be much harder to meet before the tournament tomorrow
@young jacinth will there be a time limit on how long matches last?
Is there any mod for the ball
@young jacinth
ye its the plaus minigame utilities thats linked
It works gonna build my ship
You still need a partner?
Juki cannot make it
if we could find a partner for goodie
I think Ill just set a 10 min timer or so and the team with the higher score wins.
@supple vapor since goodie cant come we could team up
For old time's sake here was the ship I made

y'alllssss
wait what ps
@desert sky @heady ginkgo
Whjat?
y'all are up again
Your up against us, good luck!
You are confusing enough I thought you said we were staying in the tournament as a whole 
"White stays" as in "not eliminated yet"
yeeee
fucking hell
@undone zinc@buoyant agate congrats!
very well played
took advantage of our team's mistakes masterfully
I would've stay for maybe an off tournament match but I really needed to go π
Thank you Anti!
is 4v4 posible?
thank plaus too
i...hardly deserve it since plaus did most of the organizing, all i did was be mean to my teammate
GG everyone! (sorry for late message, was watching vid)
hi, when is the december elim tournament again?
December
fucking lmao
"What do anteaters eat" energy.
why can i hear this
@young jacinth what ship picking system will the tournament use?
Oh right I forgot that. I guess well use self ban with 5 ships
So we should send you the ships?
yea Ill make an announcement
It could use none, but that has its own issues
@undone zinc
i can't believe you aren't using comic sans
Blasphemy
-# I say as I donβt use comic sans
@young jacinth i don't think obs is picking up your voice
i can hear april but not you
yay works now
@undone zinc @tacit nacelle
bruh i just closed the game
My internet coming back on 30 minutes after the start time 
boop

@gilded spindle
petition to use the old format next time
@forest cedar youre up
@young jacinth elevator music time
Elevator music 10 hours
Short version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj0ChLVTpaA
perfect
Again sorry I missed the tournament I had problems with my internet and I was hyperglycemic
But I'm enjoying the livestream π
@gilded spindle
terrible play by me
Who won?
(Plaus I know)
noone yet
@tacit nacelle
As a viewer, I don't know how I feel about this format - there's significant upsides and downsides:
+++
- Matches are less "random" in that you can't get unfairly countered by someone with a significantly worse ship lineup that you would otherwise 100-0 in a fair fight, so the "better" players win more often
- It's really cool to strategize and put yourselves in the shoes of the players to think about what they'd pick
You can also see whether your proposed strategies come to fruition or if they work
- There is more title screen time than actual gameplay, unless every match is a full 10 minutes of rod stalling
The ratio is already bad without this new format due to playing being late or taking a long time to pick a ship
- Players with smaller ship libraries have practically no chance to win - as a viewer this isn't fun because the entire pick time and following match feels pointless as the match outcome is already determined.
- Minor logistical issues/armor distribution in the submitted ships cannot be modified mid-tournament
One of the things slowking could've done in his match vs erin's tb rail as the barge could've been to remove a couple of missile launchers and add armor so the matchup next time would be more favorable, but that was not possible because the submitted ships cannot be rechosen. Also, slowking's chaingun rammer had a bunch of mags misaligned by 1 tile which severely crippled its firepower (this made the difference between beating the noob box and not)
- The total amount of ships any player can bring is fundamentally limited, so there are basically no surprises save for some misleading silhouettes that only last a match or two (I thought erin's nuke ion was a normal ion, for example)
TLDR; I don't like the format
@young jacinth My cg rammer sucks, can I update it?
-# see point 3 of my complaint
okay, that's very interesting
this still only addresses half of my point
I think for the player the experience is better than it is for the viewer
So hear me out
Back to preview on, no ban system and if people win because of variety, that's a good thing
@forest cedar @undone zinc
One sec
today is a sad day for walls
counterpick rps might happen though
if it can happen it will happen eventually
Yeah, but then I set a timer and if people act rude they act rude and people expect it for next time
i think it might be interesting to either just use the countdown (but this has the problem of better pc haa massive advantage, my load time for my library is literally longer than the countdown) or have them send it to host and they go in raw
there shouldn't be too many "teehee i counter you" because people should be scared to bring in hard counterable things
Unavoidable
WIth people respecting eachother there should be no need for rules
past the baseline that is
WELL..
Any pick ban is more fun than pure rando to play
I'm not suggesting that
And if somebody ruins it, they didn't. You've just learned that that particular person is untrustworthy when it matters
Pure rando is awful to play in imo
Give the host discretion to just start the countdown if ppl canβt be civilized?
Yea, and if somebody swaps last second, they'll get bullied after the tourney or somethin
Nah, It'll just be viewed in a particular way
You may have won but you have no honor ahhh system
But weapon bans are awful and blind picks are awful
If you dislike the system please present a solution that doesnβt ignore the reasons for the system in the first place
But a lot of the complaints are from just absolute library diffs but imo ship libarys are a significant component of building skill
ive literally done this before
yall should know im untrustworthy
Another idea is to have the players discuss pick / bans with each other back and forth ahead of time before each match to make it much more seamless / much much less down time between matches
no - the point of official tournaments is to win
not for anything else
that is the point
Okay, cool you won!
if the rules are shit then fix the rules
The rules aren't shit
Honor can't be a rule, since it's subjective
then it shouldn't be an official tournament about skill
It just takes so long
So
So bloody long
It's also not even about skill
It's just about manoeuvring a counter pick in your favour beforehand
To bullshit the match into a free win
Also whoever bans first is at a massive advantage
Id say if you ban first you just win
How is having a more thought out line up bullshit?
Maybe Iβll go back and see the raw win % of ban first vs ban second after work
@gilded spindle @tacit nacelle
Well played plaus 
slowking is too powerful
i love unofficial tournaments
squib mirror
π€
This format "works" for its intended purpose (reducing rng in matchups) but I think it sucks at everything else including being interesting
I personally do not feel motivated to play in a tournament like this
maybe try 3 ship self ban to cut down on the necessary time and library
i did like the self ban system when i participated
oooooh point 3 is huge tbh
these days i do feel positively about the draft format, but i never thought about this one
weird it works for me. Anyone else experiencing this? Here is the pdf in the meantime
so HLs shoot DC, but DC have 0 velocity? so do HL have 0 velocity?
LMAO LARGE SHIELDS
plaus btw what are the game rules gonna be?
It is worth remembering that imparted velocity is a thing
okay it's not
no blaster shoot vanilla dc shots
oh Im late sorry xD
also ship preview?
seems to be a lot less people in tournaments than before
Has been a reoccuring theme since early in the last year...
Several month break would be nice to get people a bit more hyped again, but no, Plaus YEARNS for more free wins.
it's also the fact that there's not official tournaments
I think dense nebulas would be pretty fun here so those are the settings:
I liked the freedom of choice that the old format gave, if your lineup you prepared wasnβt working you could completely pivot and bring some other wack stuff, and exceptions did not need to be made to fix obvious unintentional design errors
One of the biggest reasons Iβve stopped playing tournaments
The draft was cool for a one-off but Iβd like to see it gone now or at least alternate with weapon ban
-# I also liked weapon ban because it was a very good way of proving which weapons are OP
We got rid of the weapon ban format bc ppl wanted to be able to run their main ship style without instant counter ban (bread on rails, Luna on ions, j uki on cgs) and of whom suffer greatly under mono weapon ban system - ( i think cy also wanted this bc they were only running rail ships and literally couldnβt play at the time)
A changing line up that each player just assigns themselves each game might be a move tho
Not sending stuff into the host
Update for unbal: ml now bypass shields
my god, i had never read the unbalance change document before, and i'm loving this
are you taking suggestions?
Unless I completely missed it I donβt think it mentions the bunk crew speed changes?
How are yβall opening the changes doc? It just returns a 400 error for me
same here but plaus sent a pdf
here
idk i haven't noticed much of a difference between british and aus internet
:despair:
and britain is not superior in many ways
though i do have to give it to your public transport
that shit's great
Is it??
better than aus
If you want good public transport go to Switzerland
london's roads are like 50% bus
oh yea no one's beating them
but britain's not bad, though they are aided by being a physically small country
My bus today was 40mins late and they upped the fee
though apparently Heathrow did shit itself literally two days after i left the uk so that was close
ok nvm lol wtf
Today it was
Transformer said no and set on fire
People impressed at their lack of redundancy
yea, when we got back home, friends asked us what we did to Heathrow
also at one point we had to go buy a bottle because 100ml of liquid is only a problem if the bottle is large for... some reason so we had to go buy a separate slightly smaller container
this is getting off topic
It got off topic ages ago lol
i would like to suggest, for the unbalance mod, that new players are always confused by tractor beams. we should change tractor beams slightly
i suggest that tractor beams tooltips are now completely accurate because there will be no problems at all if this is done
So how would you change the tooltip?
no, we don't change the tooltip, we change the beam. TBs now deliver exactly 50kn no matter what, and always consume 4.5 power, theres no way this could go badly
i can't think of a single balancing issue that may result
Thats pretty redundant with what tb already do in the mod
wait, they're changed? i didn't see a change to tb in the document
yea TB aren't mentioned at all in that pdf, and the other link didn't work
so i didn't know they were changed
i am curious, what does t he mod do to em
Huh guess I forgor them
I just increased their force by some ungodly number
Oh amazing
the hard part is less that its hard to think of stupid changes and more that u already changed a lot of stuff
oh flak might not have been edited, its not in the doc
Yea its not
You can tell me anyways
true
oh
then i suggest: flak is technically an AOE. how about we add a few 9's to the size of the aoe
Thats not really how explosions work
Damn
They just have a damage pool that gets split among nearby parts
ah
I think the max range can be modified? Not really what you are suggesting though
Yea very easily
I just feel 360 fire arcs are not really that exciting
thats fair
1 degree firing arc also not that exciting even if u mess around with damage ig
how do i get this update?
i rebooted game but it still..
Unsubscribe start the game close it and resubscribing often worked for others
Alternatively checking file integrity via steam
@fallow wasp #1352646098904285274 message the link you posted is the same as the one I posted. It does work for me and has worked for others
Odd. I just see this:
that shouldnt be the mod link but the dropbox link that contains the pdf with the mod changes
others have also said that they cant open that link so I posted the pdf here: #1020489415476396043 message
Ill look into why dropbox isnt working there and probably use an alternative in the future
Sorry if I was unclear - that was what I was referring to. Thanks for posting the PDF separately!
Ok, a lot of those changes are hilarious.
@young jacinth what is the 1.5 mil tournament match format? (self ban, open pick, opponent ban, blind pick, 1 ship)
Oh right I forgor about that. Well use blind pick since that was most popular on the vote.
I also use epsilon for big negative numbers, y as an indexing variable and z as a parameter for functions in real numbers.
You got a problem with that?
I would like to know what blind pick is
pick whatever ship you want
You use any ship not knowing what your opponent is gonna bring
draft pick low diffs hard af, people just dont realize
what's draft pick?
one of the veto ones i think
As the person who made the draft pick I like it over blind picks but ultimately whatever tournament system is best is entirely irrelevant if we have no players
If blind picks can bring in more players itβs a net win
well duh
but the question is which one is better
now, i do concede that blind works better in smaller tournaments and with players w/ less experience
but blind is still objectively better
trueeeee
yeah i understand
yay! tourney in 20!
only 3 players 
that just means a 1/3 chance to win
I swear if we all tie like in the dom tourney
that just means we need a final 1v1v1 lol
should i play with ass internet?
yes
dang
steam not installed??
i think my D drive is locked
but the passkey i had doesnt work
fuckk
okay will download
i will make it work
cosmoteer downloading
and my settings are gonna be deaddd
@short tartan @tacit nacelle
only 1/3rd downloaded bruh
oh it did the last 60% fast but validating and @-@
mung's thrust getting balanced by taking damage
game is up
@young jacinth i have game open
is it too late to join chat π
i joined really late too xd Β―_(γ)_/Β―
i didnt even know there was a tournament, i would have instantly signed up if there was
this stuff should be forwarded to excelsior announcements channel, its pretty silly that pvp announcements arent in the literal pvp server
i think plaus is updating bracket rn
let the guy join!
i think he is trying
may or may not require a new bracket
oh he just said he does need to xd
frick i dont have the stream or the bracket pulled up
@tacit nacelle @snow seal
huh i thought i would play u first plaus
@young jacinth in bracket, mung didnt win any
bruh it doesn't make any difference π
its solid
nah its a really good ship
i just couldnt focus fire it
youre right sorry
i predicted it on the second round and literally counterpicked it lmfao
and still lost
coco?
wp coco
whew that was tough
@trim anchor @short tartan
lost all the nukes and nothing else lol
@snow seal
that didnt feel like a tilting loss though
@short tartan i have very little experience with rammers, how could i have broken off my ram there?
or was it just L luck
just kinda luck
you ideally want to get a spin ram as you have side launchers
my ass also decided to ramp down my entire right side π
spin ram?
no
i mean the only thing i know about rammers is how to fight against them as ul nuke lmfao
ms paint time
this make any sense?
by having a spinning ram its easy to place nukes/mines in the enemies side
@short tartan
I wonder if a noob box mirror has ever happened
wait rift might be cooking here
der geckige
plaus has played this mu before
that was the only good "let her cook" gif i could find π
oh
i keep pressing + to zoom in LOL
idk if tb can keep enough distance by themself
nice block XD
would have been better if they hit rift but close enough to the squib to blow it up
hope rift has enough ammo
this is what we will get if an ultraheavy meta becomes alive
wait the noob box has never lost a tourney match?
afaik not yet
it would have if i didnt throw my cg rammer piloting
aimable ions
CLEAN
not the ul nuke π
wait NO NOT UL NUKE
wait i mean if she knows how to get good nuke lines
it can work
riiiiiifffffftttt you have to fly straight at it to get penetrating nuke lines
plaus showed me once in VC how to beat the noob box (inconsistently) with ul nuke
just need rotation
rotation means ur nukes have diff momentum meaning they line up better
and cant target where u want
the tournament has devolved into throwing insults 
(the ul nuke one indirectly hit me badly)
@tacit nacelle
@young jacinth restarting steam
@snow seal @short tartan
I dont think so?
let me know if you find one
nooooo
aaaaaaaaa
i knew my internet was ass
why did it wait until the last game
gonna restart
uh
oh okay then
x button doesnt exit steam
listen to plaus
so if it needs steam restart then yeah
but its okay tho
yeah ik how
dont need to restart steam, like plaus said
@tacit nacelle tie breaker
tie breaker for me and coco as well?
sure if you want
@trim anchor you down for a tiebreaker?
am i free to go?
robotics club meeting soon
aw shit he in game
yeah youre good chyve
okay ggs everyone
i meaaaan you won the tournament set against me, so i suppose that counts as the tiebreaker?
thanks for hosting @young jacinth
mung won set vs plaus too and they are tiebreaking
so if u want to play more go for it
anyhow
@short tartan i take that one back, i wouldnt mind a tiebreaker blind bo3
yay!
after salephz's pointer
:p
yeah that happened to three out of 5 people this tournament XDDD
me, salephz, rift
friens =)
coco could cut armor
This just goes to show what the best meta ships are
Build clones now so that I can get vis more quickly
for the noob box its more about people just not playing the adequate counters
because we are used to a aggro speed meta rather than a passive heavy one
....as for the CG "sidewinder" thing, i have no words
and i have no fucking clue how to beat it
I should have won with tbrail I think but I threw
with 8 rails I can cut off the hook
Yeah but I am SO GLAD that a passive defencive ship can actually counter these speed obsessed suckers.
A regular old timey railfan would have no trouble beating this I suspect.
....
it wouldnt lmao
didn't you watch rift's match against it with her tb rail
the problem is that the noob box uses nukes to counter slow ships lmao
No I didn't.
Slow ships can kite too, ya'll have forgotten the art of railfan.
well have fun with your match taking 8 years
because you underestimate how much armor plaus's ship has
and keep in mind that its not a spinner, it can move
i am almost completely certain its a lot more toxic than UL meta
I think a nuke hit-and-run is the solution. That's why nuke facs are objectively superior to storage.
Says the person who's first ship was an ul nuke. Of course you'd be biased.
yeah.... nuke factory's literal only niche being put to use here, therefore its better than storage based 100% of the time
I personally can't stand the unhittables.
sounds like logic to me
At least I can LAND SHOTS on the noob box or der geckige's thing.
????
looks ul nuke enough to me
Your perception of irony is worse than that of a cocaine-fed guinea pig.
dude chill π
I was kidding.
and i am right
And you're taking it far too seriously.
You always are.
anyways
just start playing pvp more
and see how long it takes to kill a UL ship (avoiders included)
compared to the tournament matches today
i assure you, the noob box is a lot more toxic than UL ships
(and my first ship from classic, if it suits you)
I have played against noob box. I have played against geckige ship too and have beaten it on multiple occasions. Don't teach me how to play this game's pvp I've been playing for years longer just because you're caught up on the latest meta trends.
Sorry if I'm sounding aggressive, I don't mean any of it.
Okay that's actually kinda neat.
thx
I've beaten Geckige with this.
It's an unorthodox but good hybrid
Geckige is a great player, why this toxicity.
It doesn't take an oem level pilot to do a literal noob box justice.
A lot of the weird ships I use are perfect fit at defeating these slow ships, as if I was preparing for my whole life.
Like this one.
I should do a match with Plaus one day.
You can say that about any ship. We can only say that a ship is good relative to other meta ships.
Pretty sure the rail fan would win tbh
with enough ammo
really? what about the nukes on the noob box?
