stop the count!!!!
When did Lets_Fish signed in the tournament?
I'm not even sure you can make nNew participate as he does not have a discord account
it's not official so 🤷
I said a log counted as an auto sign up
So... if I really wanted to, I could farm points by playing against randoms in multiplayer?
yes!
if you could find randoms
and they agreed
Really? So youre saying I can ask anyone to play matches for the tourney with me?
as long as they agree
unless you think it's super bad for me to allow that in which case I can change the rules
I mean it would be really funny if its allowed. It would just really change the nature of this competition
honestly
gl getting randoms to play tourney matches with you 😭
honestly I just want to let bigglesworth and nnew be able to play in the tourney
challenge accepted
seal clubbing competition? seriously?
hm
I mean it's hard to make rules that would allow non-discord players to play, but prevent people from bringing in non-pvp players for easy wins
I would say maybe @young jacinth don't do that
what if you could only challenge players that have the same number of wins as you or more?
it's certainly not a perfect idea but it would at least reduce the seal clubbing
then I can't challenge players for like a week 😭
it's also
it's hard to get people to actually know that this is happening
:(
But we can still ask anyone that joined to official discord?
you can ask anyone you would consider adept level or higher on exelcior
does that work?
That still has funny implications lol
yeah 😭
man idk this tournament style is wack
also I was considering anyone who has only fought one player's wins are removed
like if a person only fought you you don't get wins from that person
it feels like the async tourney format needs a brainstorm session to come up with a better ruleset to balance accessibility and pacing
I feel like it isn't the worst to run this one and then see what comes out of it
we'll have some answers to some questions
Oh yea that could work
and then do a brainstorm based off of how this one works
Well you def have to make an announcement that clarifies those rules
agreed, but experts just can't go around beating up randoms
needs to be a boundary somewhere
Ill just have them also fight the worst performing player so far
So youre saying its allowed?
you also don't want to stop randoms from participating if they want to
the behavior we want to prevent is
- expert convinces random to play them and loose handily to them in order to boost someone's win count
I don't think anyone is sweaty enough to actually do that
I'm not sure
maybe as a point to show that there is an issue?
still not okay
yeah doing that is not ok
I'd want to have rules to stop that in place but I don't think that there is an easy way to do that
wow that's uh 50 minutes of cosmoteer commentary stuff... bruh
if anyone watches more than 10 minutes of it i'll be suprised
I'm not particularly energetic either
If I could talk almost entirely non-stop for 2 hours and a half during a Dom Tournamente, you can certainly do it for 50 minutes.
Get a co host
Makes it much more fun/ easy to have a convo over the gameplay on screen over just u rambling if you don’t wanna ramble
because it's going thru recordings I am able to skip the "boring" parts
Trueee
I think saris used to have a full length vod then a highlight reel as well
But that’s a lot of work ofc up to you entirely but ppl will appreciate either
well
here's all the matches
00:09 CGT vs Butter
13:40 CGT vs Plaus
22:20 Plaus vs Lets_Fish
30:10 Lets_Fish vs CGT
39:23 Lets_Fish vs nNew
45:37 nNew vs CGT
I started at @brisk briar 's crazy ship XD
The Patrol ship tournament is in just under a week. Any price changes are locked in now.
I never said this was my entry!
just reminding because some people didn't get the memo dw
greenshicken 3 way tie with themselves is too funny
It's like playing chess with yourself and winning :>
shicken for architect when
Hopefully they could get on as an architect if they'd want. They'd do a really good job of it
they realy would
Unless I take out Meekoz, I don't stand a chance.
Both of you could become architects lol
No. I guess it's a gunslinger's duel—only one walks away........
good bad ugly music kicks in
vaguely western sounding sfx
distant bell ring
@young jacinth Hey! Sorry for going out of context in the other chat
I recall having seen or heard of a flak swarm over on excelsior
or that you needed victims to test your swarms.
Even if it's just still in experimental state, or you got a different sort of swarms and I messed things up, anyways I would like to see it/them
Thank you
I am wholelly underequipped for this tournament
Perfect
@chilly barn youre up vs me first
@young jacinth Due to a crash I may be late by several minutes :<
Nope
You can do a match where I'm not involved and I think I'll be ready
omw
beat by noob box then swarm 😦
@hybrid tulip we can team up next 2v2 Dom tournament, promise
Did you run the kiter?
Oh yeah why don't we have a stream mister @young jacinth
then I played this bc this is the only thing that consistently beats noob box and plaus switched to swarm
we have one lol
and are you ready for your match?
lets do @chilly barn vs lets fish next
( @brisk briar )
Sure! I am ready!
You did not shared it afaik
next match
#tournament-announcements message
I dont think that could have been any closer
@desert sky @brisk briar
<100 health CR waiting in ROD
ggs
ggs!
yeah so I think structure heat dissipation should be nerfed
this type of ship meta is not good imo
😁
def
@young jacinth didn't I win 2-1?
yea refresh the page
wrong entry at first
ah cool
@chilly barn @desert sky
What's happened
@desert sky @gilded spindle
that
@gilded spindle @brisk briar
dang
@desert sky we fight now
@brisk briar
I wanted to clarify LetsFish your nuke flinger is one of my favourite ship archetype already
I just dislike the cannons and thrusters perforated trypophobia ship
@gilded spindle @chilly barn
Slowking didnt show up so CGT wins by default
Congrats to Coolgamertag for getting second place!
if you wanna just run three matches I'm down
if the meltdown update comes out before august 2, what is to be done?
@hybrid tulip what's up with the patrol ship tourney?
Lack of time but it's gonna happen
I think I'll try to do the first round today
But the others will have to wait 3 or 4
ROUND 1 !
-# i forgot about that 
rip
ship i had was a mite too expensive anyway
yippie i won something
hoping whatever flak ships remain get flitered hard enough that i can just counter everything else
hm looking at the other match rod is going to be a big problem but i have hope
if I can figure out recording I may start my own version of this
I'm absolutely gonna run my own version
and I'm going to throw some interesting ideas on it and give it some twists
I'll be doing rematches for byte because I thought I corrected a mistake when it was intentional so mb
gotcha
(his flak was supposed to be infinite fire)
yes
Any updates on this?
No pressure, buuuut I'm just sending a reminder because I want to see crackshot fight lol
god forbid people have a private life
Sorry. That was inconsiderate of me
Round 2
u r impatient. rude. learn manner
so far i have maintained a perfect 50% win rate
I fit two OC Ions on mine, and have a perfect 0/4
reminder, Dom 2v2 tournament next week
your kiting strat is working against you
My pathfinding here is REALLY wonky. It did NOT fly like that in testing.
i'm still 50 50 unfortunately, or fortunately since i'm not losing yet
honestly i probably should've went with rail alpha instead of kiting
all my loses were one shot away from winning and i only lost due to rod shenanigans messing with the ai
you tested in pvp room or in battle helper
both.
there's been a few patches since then, and my ring started closer in (and moved slower)
My ring was one size up from minimum.
minimum time is kinda necessary for the tourney because there's a lot of situations where the match just stalls and with 5 or 10 minutes it was horrible
No argument, but I think your ring was larger than the one I teted in.
@sonic flame @hybrid tulip so you 2 are a team for the upcoming domination tournament?
yep
yee
gogod luck!!!!
@supple vapor fyi @gray halo is struggling to find a teammate
yep
my mining ship was a good idea (exept that 1 time it did 180 and got shot and became just an empty shell)
@hybrid tulip are u still looking for a teammate for dom 2v2?
could be a backup
like in the event that i forgor to wake up, or someone doesn't wanna play because i exist, or..
I hqve one
ah i see it now
mega needed one
i may or may not be hard to reach on discord but will try to keep active within the cosmoteer window if that is so
after being reminder of ai's stupidity, i think a 1v1v1 b&b ai fight tournament could be interesting
however this would take even longer than normal tournies
@young jacinth since King pulled out last minute how do you feel about letting artem play on his own?
Thats not gonna happen. Playing alone allows for usage of higher cost ships which is an advantage 2 player teams dont have
We are trying to find him a teammate
@bright anchor you okay playing with @upbeat ridge
?
lesgo
good luck to all the other tournament participants
appreciate the last minute team sub btw
npnp
when the hot is dom
me @short tartan vs @sonic flame @hybrid tulip
full?
can you see our ships ?
since you're the host
NOOOOOO
100 credits off hold on let me fix that
at least it means i can't use "dom cheese"
no
oh no hive mind pvp :(
i forgot how much thrust was needed for dom,
@gray halo @brisk briar & @bright anchor @upbeat ridge
@supple vapor saw some of the ideas in breads and built my own
i messed around with OCcap before i saw yours but i was using it for thrust
using cap is a very elegant solution to the turret angles problem
@young jacinth at this point you should start/stop countdown
@tulip solar you ready now?
man beating artem is imposible for me
@opal tangle
yes
the only time I beat him in a 1v1 was in hive mind pvp and in 2v2 I was with king or plaus maybe
still I didnt attack the back
and it was my only win
exept that 3v1 when I was the 1
oh ye
still win is a win?
eh?
@gray halo @brisk briar vs @sonic flame @hybrid tulip
ok I typed too fast now eh?>
whats the passworld
password ?
hotdom
thx
@young jacinth call them riftoids lol
I didn't know that ressuply didn't empty the thermal batteries
i emptied it anyway
who up streaming they units
welp dom is fun untill my enemie is artem (mr king too but its much more rare so its less of a problem)
sorry to curse you with my presence
would i get instantly deleted if i joined fight club
without knowing what it is i'm sure i'd fail it
@bright anchor @upbeat ridge
artem when
@bright anchor @upbeat ridge vs @opal tangle @slim reef
Oh I misscalled sorry
xd
bracket typo lol
f
yep thats . . . maybe not
cosmoteer political??????
also where is the thing?
@gray halo @brisk briar
oh
@bright anchor @upbeat ridge
so whats now?
can't wait for non-workaround spinners to be real
so do I and lets fish are going to fight again or its over?
its over for yuo and me
que
@bright anchor @upbeat ridge your up fyi
not up?

@bright anchor @upbeat ridge
for reals this time
ty
better price for meltdown
yee, suppose so
having a look at that now
oh and i promise to respond to pings and/or at the very least show up on time and when called
i didn't think this through hold on how does one make a 1mil railfan
make it smaller
how tho it's already so small
i mean ig i can make an unshielded tbrail
hmm
welp ig i'll just hope other players (plaus excluded no hope will save me from him knowing how to make 1mils) are just as confuzzled
is there any statistic for how long tourney games and prerounds take? i feel like there is a lot to be optimized and would be useful information anyways
U could go record the times from the last couple tourneys
doing work myself \🤢
Although artem/seres times will be much higher bc they were last minute teammates
It wasn’t bad @ all imo tourney total time was well within reason
artem what is The Test
@gilded spindle nuke bug allowed?
i assume pip is banned
all of the ones that you use during the tournament?
360 nukes?
yes
\👍
I have to reword that reward, honestly
You mean pip bug? Thats patched
a while ago
presumably october 2024
it was literally unplayable
That sounds about right
barracks in ship design = diagonals don't get disqualified?
@lavish compass is this true
what
must've been in the middle because there was a tournament post at the start of october that got edited before the end (the end of october is when it woulda happened)
@gilded spindle I am withdrawing from the August 30 tournament. Something came up and I am no longer able to attend.
@gilded spindle I'm definately am avaliable for the start of the tournament but may be busy later on; how long have other tournaments gone? and may i sign up anyway, especially as I don't think I'll place well anyway; I can state if i am pulled away as to auto-forfeit, I'm here for fun
i would show up but unfortunately i have acquired a social life
@gilded spindle
depends how many people show up
today tournament day and i still don't have a ship
but i mean i have built and painted 1.5mil railfans in under 30mins twice before
i have a ship and half a ship
i managed to make one then assembled a bigger fleet of misfits than baikal daud at the second battle chicomoztoc
yes i'm showing up with every 1mil built in ever
I have a ship but IM gona change some thing in it
yea my first cosmotear tournement
@gilded spindle "Till the end of the hours" means at 19:00 or at 20:00?
i think he meens 19:00
there needs to be an alt timestamp for saylight davings
I would like it to be 20:00 too, since google says that's 2pm est.
And that's what I was expecting
But if not, it'd be alright too.
Just unexpected and gotta finish the 3rd ship quickly.
ah (do we need more than 1 ship or do you just do it cus you can cus I have only 1)
We'll go with the time prior to daylight savings, being 20:00
ah
Going to re-ping at the actual "One hour before tournament" point, sorry for the confusion.
roger. I have my half baked piles finished...
so 11:00 phoenix time it be? (rather than 11:00 denver time or 10:00 phoenix time)
No problem and thx for understanding.
Is it ok if I record my fights and ask permission from those involved if it is ok to use their records for a video?
The tournament is already being streamed, so I see no reason why not.
Where is the stream?
idk I check cosmoteer on yt and there is no one live last time I checkt
Ohh
ah
That makes more sense
ye
Is it on Yt?
Yep!
:D
Can you send a link in this chat when the stream starts?
I'll link it in #tournament-announcements
Yep
noice
Anyone willing to link me a ship for a thumbnail?
like the one thats gona be used?
Any ship, really
cesent wath
alt shot
Works for me!
Sending the bracket now, feel free to predict!
Who's gonna win?
Yep
me too
Lol
I think I will win unless I will fight some one with expearience in fighting me
like plaus
plaus knows my secret strat that isnt a secret and its just my play stile
Nice, I'll last till the third round *second... I have old eyes
complacency kills
I'll prob lose first cuz im new
nah, I'll lose first because I'm round 0 in a more or less filler match (unless I somehow got competent against a real player)
knowing mt secret strat that isnt a secret isnt a hard thing you know
Remaking/shuffling bracket
if we somehow fight something went horribly wrong
ye good luck bud
but that's just the fun of the whole thing
its 50% Im gona fight you (again I think)
uh... I would worry more about plaus, I'm push over
You haven't faced me in Elimination previously, .. i think
high chance you've faced Xsnow tho
Oh...
I did in dom thow
yee
@gray halo pretty sure tourney is on unstable, you might want to head over there
i guess, forgot to check...
is it
overclock stable
new sounds unstable
ranged preview
the wha
This is why I need to pay more attention
uh... where?
It was never noted, so presume stable
your lobby is on unstable tho
so do I need to be in unstable or no?
man why did I lose in the first one
mine is identical lol
sorry you're going up against xsnow
man do I have the same luck as in dom turnament or do I have a chance
up to you to decide
as long as you don't bring a gimmick or something aesthetic lol
i am so cooked
So... I get to watch the whole stream after the first round! nice!
jk jk i'm not bringing in a built in i'm actually scared of yaddah
Making sure everybody knows ahead of time in-case people didn't read
Budget is $1,000,000
i'm not confident i can always beat cruisers and that's the only thing he has that i'm scared of, other things i can easily beat i think
ok is it really unstable or normal cus Im confused
i mean yaddah could just counter you by bringing something strong against rails
oh shit wait my ship is not redundant at all in case he brings the oc rail thingy, this may be hard
oh f rails
i'm not bringing rails this tourney, if i was i wouldn't be worried about cruisers
rails struggle a lot against oc ls
if thats the sort of cruiser you mean
Stable.
they don't need to go through them
got it
you snipe the sides then ez gg
i've pulled that off in all but like 1 or 2 fights since meltdown
rip
Plaus is the #9 seed 
pay check in the mail
...how dare you take my seed... them's fighting stuff
so 10 min?
@gilded spindle is it bo1 or bo3?
BO1
cringe
also worth noting this tourney's playercount is higher than the last one i think
I call it experimenting
whats bo1/bo3?
best of 1 or 3
But you had the same ruleset in the previous tourneys too :(
bo1 means you die once you get out, bo3 means you die twice you get out
sodns good
This is a conspiracy to decrease my chances of winning
well...
my ships are kinda made with Bo3 in mind
You don't change 20 things from the control because otherwise you learn nothing
most of my ships are meant to counter ships
2 things is enough
same
man I wish this is not going to be the same as in dom when the ion kites were the meta and killed my meta in the process
4 min?
its on
whats the password?
no idea
Check announcements
it didnt work
same for me
Uh and this...
Try again
im in
@gilded spindle In what order are you going to do the bracket?
Round one then two then three and so on ?
Yes.
the password is incorrect
@young jacinth vs @keen siren
Capital S
Please do not join until you are pinged.
ok
I still cant join
Now it worked idk why
ok so
Are you telling me the first password to ever cause issues is Silksong? 
I guess so
the stream is not working on youtoub
@gilded spindle the streammmm
?
its off
the stream is just the ship
now its going
cesent wath advertisement
I aint gona beat plaus if I ever even get to the end
Wait
Do I have the wrong patch?
I cannot find the lobby
Stable
changing
@desert sky vs @gray halo
what was the password again?
....uhm how do I return to stable?
So in the end did you changed the password
I never did that
Wdym
Is it "previous build"?
I cant join
#tournament-announcements
I was meant to follow mega's message but yaddah got in the way
same way you went to unstable but in the dropdown select "none"
PvP -NH2
the pass word isnt passwording
Silksong
so I cant join now unless you change the password
.
:|
Well that's the incorrect password, you sure you haven't added a space either way?
There is no option on Steam called "stable". Only "preview", "unstable", "previous build", "0.29.0" and "0.26.2"
its called none
“None”
Im here now
without context, should i do "true dichotomy" or "everaim"
Ah! YOU HAVE TO SCROLL UP!
Everyone who might not be able to find it
☝️
@gilded spindle could you made turn the music down a bit?
its a bit louder than you
my mind blanked so hard i tried to operate the cosmoteer video
I also try to move the camera from time to time
What's the password?
lol
will round 2 be 3456 or 5364?
@exotic ginkgo vs @azure pond
@gilded spindle Sry to bother. I need the PW
3456 it be
man this was a close one
In #tournament-announcements
@gray halo add some extra caps in the downtime so you have more power storage
my only sorse of energy was almoust done
power storage for which?
got it
Silksong
Are you Martinez now?
Oh right, we're supposed to join when we're called
I only did AI tournaments till now. ^^ sry
don't worry, you're the one after this one
Just to avoid lag.
I just realized that 4 out of 4 predictions said that I will lose
@hard rover vs @near robin
idk how I feal about this
You surpassed fate
my only weknes a rail gun kite
thats smt to be proud of
yes but idk if my luck will let me more
Let’s see how your luck fares next one
(same)
ye we will see
hiiiii
man why are there so many rail kites in this turnament
meta
snipers are a meta in many games with snipers - there's a vid on yt on why basically snipers are either meta or not. TLDR for a sniper to feel good it has to 1-shot - if it doesn't it's unused
why the meta always has to be long range ship that inst going to get hit man
ion kites then now this
becose you are safe and you can hit the enemy
i undertand your frustration, andd recommend if you can't beat em, join em
also itseems your DCs werent OCed?
mega
they where
on
I will also NOT join them the same when I didnt join the ion kite meta
no rail tournament when
||I wish today||
f
your turn plaus
@young jacinth va @ebon bramble
i was a doubter because i didn't know what you were bringing
now i think you're set to win
so my turn huh?
@sonic flame va @gray halo
maybe?
if i die you'll win i'm pretty sure, you can win against the kites ramming them since you're so redundant
i'm not going to use the same ship though i might switch to another
@young jacinth vs @exotic ginkgo
man if demon eye shot me while I was rotating I would be dead
did my nukes ever get loaded?
I have no back protection
ye its a bug
same with capasitors beaning 0.3 full
which is a problem for me\
me probably should have stalled but got a lil bored lookin at the other fight hiding behind an asteroid
ah
I tried to attack you from the asterid at the top and thankfully (for me) it worked
I think my next fight will be with a rail kite
which isnt a good thing for me
so my turn now
@gray halo and @hard rover
this is single elimination yes? ie im out-out?~
thanks for admining~
ainty doing well
@gray halo
realizing this other ship i prepared woulda made more sense
Final match!
@young jacinth vs @gray halo
yay 😄
congratulations mega!!
:D*
congrats!
congrats
congrats!
thx :)
when missiles get patched or maybe I learn crew logistics better...
thx and you too plaus
plaus ai fell off no way
man I got lucky too
i will make a mega counter against rail canons for next torunement
if I had to fight 1 of the rail kites at the start than I may have lost and that 1 time I again just got lucky
if this is still the meta
i was wondering why you're still gray but then i remembered this tournament didn't have champion role reward so ig you won tbd whatever that is lol
ah ye
i still think you should get it though
welp the one that started the fight ended it too
it's not like this was an unofficial tournament
Congrats Mega!
thx :)
That was amazing fun!
yeah
ye
i have still 2 ships to show they will be shini:D
I had a rail... 🙁
I had a rail but it was made before the meta and it had not oc shealds so I didnt think of using it
that was fun except for the fact that i forgot my engines caught fire
ye it happinds
The rules were pretty scuffed this time, honestly
but tbf yaddah also got unlucky so it's fine
lol... that fun
i thought is was a best off 3
Congrats to
@gray halo
For winning!
yeah, good j*b bro
yea wp mega:D
huh didnt know that
It was purple in classic iirc
yee purple sounds correct
ah
I think the dev team was always blue thow
yee, the dev team was always blue
tho i thiink either kroom or dubmood (or both?) mighta hopped on before the change
huh
wait i thought this was unofficial
it didn't say anywhere that it was
it didn't list champion role as a reward but it doesn't say anywhere it's unofficial
it ddn't say it was official so it was unofficial
The rules this time were a mess, It'll be fixed for next time.
It's been... A year since I've last hosted
Is next month's tournament going to be a more standard 1.5m format or a different price point?
ok thanks
i would've skipped my stuff if it were official
Going to see how people felt about 1 mil and then ask
1.5mil doesn't need to be the standard forever
true
ships get boring at lower price ranges
certain weapons become op while others become unusable.
1m should be standard anyways
maybe <500k
1,499,999 should be standard
i guess TRL is an outstanding outlier if it can be at all used reliably
want any buffs or any amount of sustain to it? suddenly the price more than doubles
i want to see the return of variable price points
That never was a big thing iirc
What is that even?
yes not really
1m or 2m pvp ships
when i last played pvp (2019-2020) it would happen sometimes
Just call it 1m/2m xD
Around the same time we started to look for a new price point again
We decided a middle ground was best and 1.5 happened
i keep forgetting slowk is a fossil
i played in Beat The Dev!, but my ship had prototype crew bunks and I.. disabled my control room
and unrelatedly Slowk's still a part of Fort Clan
I strongly feel I could have won were it not for those two things I blundered on
sorry you weren't active enough, better luck next time
no its alright
well i mean i didn't look much in your era
im not turned to stone and can yet change
give it a few years and we'll see about that
are tournament ideas welcome? (particularly from me, a pretty new-to-cosmo-pvp-player)
Sure thing!
what are you thinkih
thinking
(free-for-all ending match) !
- I'm a fan of build battle so a build battle tournament lol (with mirror being shakey probably a best-of-3 system and/or teams)
-small vs big match - something like each player has 1.5mil, but one must use 1 ship, the other must use several ships each smaller than 500k (number tbd) - round robin with 2 rounds each where each player switches roles in each match
I kinda think if it is going to be single elimination, blind preview... I think ship preview is good for BO2+. I'm not sure how fog of war would playout during casting, but I think it might play a role in equalizing the weapon ranges and ship costs with scanners... maybe?
Due to my stream, people with my stream on can use it to see what the enemy is before encountering it, making it partially useless
*partially... but yeah, stream sniping would be a problem... and a bannable offense. Or, you could slow role the cast with delay... or it could be published after? If it would be a better tournament with fog of war... more work, I know.
(but I see a lot more strategies being played out with fog of war, blind preview, single elimination)
fog is very bad and not fun
that is just going to be random rps more than skill
not fun to watch or play
i am going to host a 1v1v1 b&b at some point
i will probably not be free until late november though
Stream delay exists
that's more an unintended issue than anything really and having a gauge on your enemy even 10 seconds late is still helpful considering idk you can do highfleet shit on there to know where they are
youd be surprised how much of a cosmoteer match can be known from just a few frames frame of visual
you do have to make assumptions though
in classic, it was impossible to distinguish between corridors and fire extinguishers
this is not the case in modern
good ol double click corridoor/conveyor
What is the min player count for the rebal tourney/
One person other than me
Also, if we are looking for more people, it might help to host "normal" tournaments @1.5m, on stable. I know that regular meltdown can be boring for the higher level elim players but if we are looking to get people to join tournaments not making them redo their entire fleet would probably help
I at least wont host normal 1.5 mil until its fun to play again
Due to the results of the poll, I don’t see any real motive to host 1.5mil tournaments for the foreseeable future
"1 mil is better! also... 2 mil is better!"
Even if it’s close, it’ll be at least two months before I go back and revisit it
2m is not better....
noooo
Subjective, and it needs to be explored before you can claim that
It’s very unlikely that you’ve played 2mil since classic
1.5m might not be the best, but we need a standard pricepoint. I don't want to spend hours and hours on a design and then not be able to use it in a tournament, or build a ship to the tournament price point but not be able to test it because nobody else has ships for that price.
I think 1.5 is fine
i don't think the poll proves much considering it was a win only by 1 vote and a tie in the second poll with 2mil being favored
but also about the testing ships part i think that's also an advantage for 1.5mil since you can still run the same ships under or upgrade them a little whereas with 1mil most of the time there isn't an easy way to downsize your ships i think but that's just subjective
The meta revolves around the same archetypes either way. The price bracket doesnt really change that. If you want entirely different stuff just from max ship costs youd need to go below 500k or above multiple mil
If the meta isn't going to change much moving to 1mil or 2mil, why not just keep 1.5?
I guess its about the small differences in how archetypes are built, played and perform
I greatly disagrees with plaus, considering railswarms perform better in higher prices and spinners being weak in lower prices, the scaling isn't the same so neither is the meta
Thats such a small amount of archetypes that dont work anymore comparetively
and that's ignoring drag and weight being greatly different, archetypes with an important module balance such as avoiders gets completely different values for same performances in varying price brackets
I would have won against Mega in a 1.5mil setting using the same sub archetype and the same layout, and he wouldn't have been Champion
That argument is annoying because it ultimately doesn't throw off the idea that the meta is different in varying price brackets
I said that the meta revolves around the same archetypes not that its completely the same
The meta has never been at a consensus more than a month or so since I was there
Then we have been playing in different metas xD
Arguments regarding archetypes literally varies on a weekly basis depending who you ask and when according to what
In my experience archetypes that tends to be successful arent necessarily the most efficient, but the ones players chose to play the most
There's always a statistical bias that's reflected by players that have different time zones have vastly different ideas of the current meta
i don't think this matters since meta isn't cemented yet
atleast in elim i think, ig one could say oc flak and oc rails are just the meta but i disagree with that considering the counters they have and considering nerfs are already on the way i don't think it'll last anyway
nah oc dc bricks and anything with oc flak are the meta
oc dc bricks get hard countered by oc rails
which also happen to counter anything that isn't extremely redundant or a swarm and with oc flak they can be really tanky too
i think them winning a tournament proves almost nothing since mega didn't play against oc rails like at all iirc
all the fights oc rails got into were mirrors
theres a reason lobbies are nothing but oc dc bricks a third of the time now
oc rails can be very good but they're way harder to pilot
with oc dc bricks you just press the kill button and then the ship gets killed
at one point that was true for oc ions so idk if that matters much
that just means they're better in casual matchs and are not meta defining tho
you can very easily add a few oc ss which completely block them
that's just not true
it's like 200+k damage minimum and you have to consider the oc ss makes them worse in alot more ways i think
it is unless you're using a paper ship with MASSIVE rails
that's what oc rails do all the time though?
and if they don't then they can simply punch through next shot since the armor provides enough endurance
non stacked small shields can tank a 12 accel rail
12accel also happens to be half what all the oc rails i've seen run but i mean i haven't seen them outside the 1mil tournament in a long time so gimme a sec to look for them and actually check the average accel amount
running more than means your ship will blow up if you look at it wrong
but that doesn't matter at all because the alternative is you just die either way (because you get outdps'd)
you could probably get to 16 or 17
but you would need to sacrifice a lot
like what?? 2 max length rails are only 900k
that's like nothing psure tbrails spend more than that on tbs and rails
"only"
it's railguns 😭
it's like the most expensive modular thing in the game idk what you expect from them
this is what you can afford with max length rails (ship by slowking)
its a very risky ship to play
this is what i was looking for
but anyways sure it's risky but if you know what you're doing that risk won't bite you back
and i also think it's kind of over done a little you could drop the mines for an emp shell
disagree, 2m is pretty different
1.5m currently is basically 2m+ classic
the only difference is the physical size
which restricts mostly stuff like spinner/swarm
At this point Plaus... Just call it a professional duel.
Best of 197?
Its a tournament because thats better for the brand
Just after I mention there might always be a statistical bias two person argue with each others that they see their lobbies filled with different things xD
"OC flak and rails are meta!" "No! dc bricks appear a third of the time!"
...then to say ....tournament context and field of battle determine "meta" and archetypes.
i mean i didn't say oc rails and oc flak are op because i see them alot
@young jacinth are kites allowed?
why wouldnt they be lol
I just accidently made an dc kite
@hard rover vs me
unstable is the range rebalance right
preview
on it
don't see you plaus
i'm in the lobby now
@south tusk @regal blaze
@gray halo vs me
ah got it
@keen siren @regal blaze
I lost
ye but I used dc agains an avoider in 600 range
thats why i lost
(also I had to use less armor to be able to be under 1.5 M)
so ye
w kite fix from walt
ye . . .
I think we need to categorise kites as a category cus now eveyrthing can be 1
ye but now an orbiter can be a kite too
korbiter
orte
I lost again
I tried to kite a dc wall with a dc wall
(it did work untill I was out of space)
mega what should i do against plaus
avoider against avoider
so flak wall
no flak wall
missile morb?
ok gl
Sorry! reloading game... with lower graphics
so will I be able to do another round or is it all over cus I forgor
turn off fancy particles, lighting and nebulas
everything should be off
...and it is taking it's time restarting... lol
I can forfiet if it means moving on for you all... game is taking its time restarting
ok
@hard rover @south tusk
k... sorry, I'll try to be more prepared... I think my machine just can't handle the betas
@regal blaze vs me
flaks are not boosted by the sencors :(
@regal blaze its bo3
oh sorry
@regal blaze @south tusk
ye so Im dead dead huh?
gg all
ggs
pulling up with my ortevoider mispin hybrid
jo when is the next singel eleminatin tournement
Either at the end of this month or next month, depending on how my schedule works out
@young jacinth so 100mil, illegal?, 1 ship? (ECs allowed?)
idk how you want to make a legal 100mil ship
not illegal
you cant do multiple ships when all cr have to be touching
whats EC?
explosive charges
what if ur ship splits
if you want to spawn a ship that is big enough to be 100mil it will say "do you really want to spawn an illigal ship" or smthing like that
ye I know but its still illigal by its size
if u filled the 1000x1000 grid with corridor, it would cost 100mil
if u used any functional part, it would be more than 100mil
ye but still a ship even 500x500 would be half of a km and that aint fitting in traffic
what are you talking about
you can make a 1000x1000 ship full of corridor and it will cost 100mil and when you go to spawn it into the game when using huge ships mod, it will not give you the popup saying the ship is illegal
what do you rally want to fly ship this size in a school lane?
i'm not, the ai is
fair point
shoulda added one more lane
do the crs and bridges have to always be adjacent?
@young jacinth will the 100mill be using the built in ai or just right-click on cr
Your cr have to touch so that section would be dead. Did you read the rules?
Though I should mandate the useage of bridges to prevent some shenanigans
You also please read the rules
@tender root you too
oh ok ty
i read rules and had questions
a dead section of ship can still shoot stuff..
f I was making my ship and I just realize that I used ONLY 5,5 MIL
this thing is only 17.5 mill,
i mean the 100mil ruleset plaus has is just make an ocrail
there is nothing saying you can't have a couple 650accel railguns
and there is almost nothing stopping them
exept 680 big oc shealds
well then you wouldn't be able to shoot back
and there is nothing saying i can't also have a million mrts to kite
you cant destroy me with that cus of smthing called E M P
I just dubled the cost and I cant move it with out making my game almoust crashed
i can surround my ship with pd
man even it they where flaks it would still not be enough
you test it out my laptop can't handle it lol
