"we stay winning" ah

white apex
#

stop the count!!!!

desert sky
#

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

chilly barn
#

it's not official so 🤷

chilly barn
barren aurora
#

So... if I really wanted to, I could farm points by playing against randoms in multiplayer?

chilly barn
#

if you could find randoms

#

and they agreed

young jacinth
chilly barn
#

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

young jacinth
chilly barn
#

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

young jacinth
#

challenge accepted

chilly barn
#

XD

#

currently recording the matches btw

#

I hope that im not saying anything mean

granite river
#

seal clubbing competition? seriously?

chilly barn
#

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

granite river
#

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

chilly barn
#

it's also

#

it's hard to get people to actually know that this is happening

young jacinth
chilly barn
#

you can ask anyone you would consider adept level or higher on exelcior

#

does that work?

young jacinth
#

That still has funny implications lol

chilly barn
#

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

granite river
#

it feels like the async tourney format needs a brainstorm session to come up with a better ruleset to balance accessibility and pacing

chilly barn
#

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

young jacinth
chilly barn
young jacinth
granite river
#

needs to be a boundary somewhere

young jacinth
chilly barn
#

yeah bc you will get them to do all of this for you for no reward

#

fs

young jacinth
chilly barn
#

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?

granite river
#

still not okay

chilly barn
#

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

chilly barn
#

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

oblique apex
chilly barn
#

I mean I already did it

#

it's uploading now

supple vapor
#

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

chilly barn
#

because it's going thru recordings I am able to skip the "boring" parts

supple vapor
#

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

chilly barn
#

well

#

here's all the matches

#

I started at @brisk briar 's crazy ship XD

chrome veldt
#

The Patrol ship tournament is in just under a week. Any price changes are locked in now.

hybrid tulip
#

lmfao

#

no two ships remember

chrome veldt
#

I never said this was my entry!

hybrid tulip
granite river
#

greenshicken 3 way tie with themselves is too funny

surreal pecan
#

It's like playing chess with yourself and winning :>

granite river
#

shicken for architect when

barren aurora
#

Hopefully they could get on as an architect if they'd want. They'd do a really good job of it

tulip monolith
#

they realy would

lucid turtle
#

Unless I take out Meekoz, I don't stand a chance.

barren aurora
#

Both of you could become architects lol

lucid turtle
#

No. I guess it's a gunslinger's duel—only one walks away........

tulip monolith
#

Just got to bring a 50 cal

#

Texas red ain't getting up after that

@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 thonkers 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

young jacinth
#

i was talking about an sc swarm there

desert sky
#

Thank you

gilded spindle
#

I am wholelly underequipped for this tournament

young jacinth
#

Perfect

young jacinth
#

@chilly barn youre up vs me first

desert sky
#

@young jacinth Due to a crash I may be late by several minutes :<

young jacinth
#

@desert sky @brisk briar

#

snow you ready

desert sky
#

Nope

young jacinth
#

@slowking vs me then

#

@gilded spindle

desert sky
#

You can do a match where I'm not involved and I think I'll be ready

gilded spindle
#

omw

chilly barn
#

beat by noob box then swarm 😦

short tartan
#

@hybrid tulip we can team up next 2v2 Dom tournament, promise

barren aurora
chilly barn
#

kiter?

#

ran this against noob box

#

lost by rod

desert sky
#

Oh yeah why don't we have a stream mister @young jacinth

chilly barn
#

then I played this bc this is the only thing that consistently beats noob box and plaus switched to swarm

young jacinth
#

and are you ready for your match?

#

lets do @chilly barn vs lets fish next

chilly barn
#

( @brisk briar )

#

I was responding to a comment from 20 minutes ago

brisk briar
#

I dont think that could have been any closer

young jacinth
#

@desert sky @brisk briar

brisk briar

<100 health CR waiting in ROD

chilly barn
#

😭

#

ggs

brisk briar
#

ggs

desert sky
#

ggs!

chilly barn
#

yeah so I think structure heat dissipation should be nerfed

#

this type of ship meta is not good imo

#

😁

brisk briar
desert sky
#

It does not need heat dissipation

#

Here I prove my point

chilly barn
#

@young jacinth didn't I win 2-1?

young jacinth
#

wrong entry at first

chilly barn
#

ah cool

young jacinth
#

@chilly barn @desert sky

gilded spindle
#

What's happened

young jacinth
#

@desert sky @gilded spindle

gilded spindle
#

that

young jacinth
#

@gilded spindle @brisk briar

chilly barn
#

dang

young jacinth
#

@desert sky we fight now

desert sky
#

Gosh I'm coming

young jacinth
#

@brisk briar

desert sky
#

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

young jacinth
#

@gilded spindle @chilly barn

#

Slowking didnt show up so CGT wins by default

#

Congrats to Coolgamertag for getting second place!

if the meltdown update comes out before august 2, what is to be done?

quick kelp
#

@hybrid tulip what's up with the patrol ship tourney?

hybrid tulip
#

I think I'll try to do the first round today

#

But the others will have to wait 3 or 4

tulip monolith
#

-# i forgot about that pain

sonic flame
#

ship i had was a mite too expensive anyway

hard rover
#

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

short tartan
#

if I can figure out recording I may start my own version of this

short tartan
#

I'm absolutely gonna run my own version

and I'm going to throw some interesting ideas on it and give it some twists

hybrid tulip

Round 2

so far i have maintained a perfect 50% win rate

chrome veldt
#

I fit two OC Ions on mine, and have a perfect 0/4

#

reminder, Dom 2v2 tournament next week

hybrid tulip
chrome veldt
hard rover
#

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

hybrid tulip
chrome veldt
#

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.

hybrid tulip
chrome veldt
#

No argument, but I think your ring was larger than the one I teted in.

young jacinth
#

@sonic flame @hybrid tulip so you 2 are a team for the upcoming domination tournament?

sonic flame
#

yee

white apex
short tartan
#

@supple vapor fyi @gray halo is struggling to find a teammate

gray halo
#

yep

gray halo
supple vapor
#

@hybrid tulip are u still looking for a teammate for dom 2v2?

sonic flame
#

could be a backup

#

like in the event that i forgor to wake up, or someone doesn't wanna play because i exist, or..

supple vapor
#

ah i see it now

sonic flame
#

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

white apex
#

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

short tartan
#

@young jacinth since King pulled out last minute how do you feel about letting artem play on his own?

young jacinth
#

We are trying to find him a teammate

#

@bright anchor you okay playing with @upbeat ridge

#

?

upbeat ridge

hybrid tulip
#

sonic flame
#

at least it means i can't use "dom cheese"

young jacinth
gray halo
#

oh no hive mind pvp :(

sonic flame
#

i forgot how much thrust was needed for dom,

young jacinth
#

@gray halo @brisk briar & @bright anchor @upbeat ridge

zinc quiver
#

@bright anchor get out ur solo game lol

#

bro is playing himself rn

short tartan
#

@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

zinc quiver
#

@young jacinth ur fine

#

he said he can see now

short tartan
#

@young jacinth at this point you should start/stop countdown

young jacinth
#

@tulip solar you ready now?

gray halo
#

man beating artem is imposible for me

young jacinth
#

@opal tangle

tulip solar
gray halo
#

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

gilded spindle
sonic flame
#

oh and i promise to respond to pings and/or at the very least show up on time and when called

hard rover
#

i didn't think this through hold on how does one make a 1mil railfan

white apex
#

make it smaller

hard rover
#

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

white apex
#

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

supple vapor
#

U could go record the times from the last couple tourneys

white apex
#

doing work myself \🤢

supple vapor
#

Although artem/seres times will be much higher bc they were last minute teammates

upbeat ridge
#

😭 my bad fam

#

though honestly it shouldnt be that bad if matchbot works

sonic flame
#

host said something about artem arguing

#

though had no direct vision so who knowes

supple vapor
#

It wasn’t bad @ all imo tourney total time was well within reason

tropic mantle
#

artem what is The Test

white apex
#

@gilded spindle nuke bug allowed?

#

i assume pip is banned

#

all of the ones that you use during the tournament?

gilded spindle
white apex
#

yes

gilded spindle
#

I can't exactly stop you

#

It's minor and hard to catch in the moment

white apex

gilded spindle
young jacinth

oh

#

since when

quick kelp

sonic flame
#

presumably october 2024

upbeat ridge
#

it was literally unplayable

young jacinth
sonic flame
#

barracks in ship design = diagonals don't get disqualified?

white apex

sonic flame
#

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)

regal blaze
#

@gilded spindle I am withdrawing from the August 30 tournament. Something came up and I am no longer able to attend.

exotic ginkgo
#

@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

white apex
#

i would show up but unfortunately i have acquired a social life

white apex
#

depends how many people show up

hard rover
#

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

sonic flame
hard rover
#

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

gray halo
#

I have a ship but IM gona change some thing in it

azure pond
#

yea my first cosmotear tournement

near robin
#

@gilded spindle "Till the end of the hours" means at 19:00 or at 20:00?

azure pond
#

i think he meens 19:00

gray halo
#

in the sign up it said 20:00

#

so

sonic flame
#

there needs to be an alt timestamp for saylight davings

near robin
#

And that's what I was expecting

#

But if not, it'd be alright too.

#

Just unexpected and gotta finish the 3rd ship quickly.

gray halo
gilded spindle
#

We'll go with the time prior to daylight savings, being 20:00

gray halo
#

ah

gilded spindle
keen siren
#

roger. I have my half baked piles finished...

sonic flame
#

so 11:00 phoenix time it be? (rather than 11:00 denver time or 10:00 phoenix time)

near robin
keen siren
#

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?

gilded spindle
#

The tournament is already being streamed, so I see no reason why not.

ebon bramble
#

Where is the stream?

gray halo
gilded spindle
#

Oh, improper wording

#

It will be streamed once it starts.

ebon bramble
#

Ohh

gray halo
#

ah

ebon bramble
#

That makes more sense

gray halo
#

ye

ebon bramble

Is it on Yt?

gilded spindle

Yep!

ebon bramble

gilded spindle
#

Sending the bracket now, feel free to predict!

ebon bramble
#

Who's gonna win?

gilded spindle
#

Yep

ebon bramble
#

Hmmm

#

I think plaus

young jacinth
#

me too

ebon bramble
#

Lol

gilded spindle
#

I didn't even add Plaus lmao

#

let me fix

gray halo
#

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

keen siren
#

Nice, I'll last till the third round *second... I have old eyes

ebon bramble
#

I'll prob lose first cuz im new

sonic flame
#

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)

gray halo
gilded spindle
#

Remaking/shuffling bracket

sonic flame
#

though I guess it would be fitting to have 1 against 16

#

metaphorically speakin

gray halo
#

good to know

#

so Im fighting xsnow?

ebon bramble
#

Oh dang im cooked

#

So im fighting plaus or pentrait...

sonic flame
#

if we somehow fight something went horribly wrong

gray halo

#

Ye

gray halo
keen siren
#

uh... I would worry more about plaus, I'm push over

sonic flame

You haven't faced me in Elimination previously, .. i think

gray halo
sonic flame
#

@gray halo pretty sure tourney is on unstable, you might want to head over there

bo1 means you die once you get out, bo3 means you die twice you get out

This is a conspiracy to decrease my chances of winning

ebon bramble
#

my ships are kinda made with Bo3 in mind

hiiiii

gray halo
#

man why are there so many rail kites in this turnament

exotic ginkgo
#

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

gray halo
#

why the meta always has to be long range ship that inst going to get hit man

#

ion kites then now this

azure pond
#

becose you are safe and you can hit the enemy

exotic ginkgo
#

i undertand your frustration, andd recommend if you can't beat em, join em

#

also itseems your DCs werent OCed?

#

mega

gray halo
#

they where

#

on

#

I will also NOT join them the same when I didnt join the ion kite meta

@young jacinth va @ebon bramble

so my turn huh?

gilded spindle
#

@sonic flame va @gray halo

gray halo
hard rover
#

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

gray halo
#

man if demon eye shot me while I was rotating I would be dead

sonic flame
#

did my nukes ever get loaded?

gray halo
#

I have no back protection

gray halo
#

same with capasitors beaning 0.3 full

#

which is a problem for me\

sonic flame
#

me probably should have stalled but got a lil bored lookin at the other fight hiding behind an asteroid

gray halo
#

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

gilded spindle
#

@gray halo and @hard rover

exotic ginkgo
#

this is single elimination yes? ie im out-out?~

gilded spindle
#

Yep, one shot

#

Well done though!

thanks for admining~

ainty doing well

@gray halo

#

man I got lucky too

azure pond
#

i will make a mega counter against rail canons for next torunement

gray halo
#

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

azure pond
#

if this is still the meta

hard rover
#

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

gray halo
#

ah ye

hard rover
#

i still think you should get it though

gray halo
#

welp the one that started the fight ended it too

hard rover
#

it's not like this was an unofficial tournament

gray halo
#

well ye but I aint complaining

#

I had fun and thats the thing that matters

keen siren
#

Congrats Mega!

gray halo
keen siren

That was amazing fun!

ebon bramble

yeah

ye

azure pond
#

i have still 2 ships to show they will be shini:D

keen siren
#

I had a rail... 🙁

gray halo
#

I had a rail but it was made before the meta and it had not oc shealds so I didnt think of using it

hard rover
#

that was fun except for the fact that i forgot my engines caught fire

gray halo
#

ye it happinds

gilded spindle

The rules were pretty scuffed this time, honestly

think it was purple or blue back in classic

#

dev...no s were red until modern

gray halo
#

huh didnt know that

gilded spindle
#

It was purple in classic iirc

sonic flame
#

yee purple sounds correct

gray halo
sonic flame
#

and i don't think anyone had blue

#

mods were always yellow far as i can remember

gray halo
#

I think the dev team was always blue thow

sonic flame
#

yee, the dev team was always blue

tho i thiink either kroom or dubmood (or both?) mighta hopped on before the change

white apex
hard rover
#

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

white apex
#

it ddn't say it was official so it was unofficial

gilded spindle
#

It's been... A year since I've last hosted

regal blaze
#

Is next month's tournament going to be a more standard 1.5m format or a different price point?

white apex
#

i would've skipped my stuff if it were official

gilded spindle
#

1.5mil doesn't need to be the standard forever

regal blaze
#

true

sonic flame
#

feels nice actually

#

2.5m, the "built-in boss" range
or 500k

tender root
#

certain weapons become op while others become unusable.

white apex
white apex
olive wren
#

1,499,999 should be standard

sonic flame
#

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

lament venture
#

i want to see the return of variable price points

gilded spindle
young jacinth
#

What is that even?

lament venture
lament venture
#

when i last played pvp (2019-2020) it would happen sometimes

young jacinth
#

Just call it 1m/2m xD

gilded spindle
#

We decided a middle ground was best and 1.5 happened

hard rover
#

i keep forgetting slowk is a fossil

lament venture
#

i dodged being a fossil

#

phew

sonic flame
#

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

hard rover
lament venture
#

no its alright

hard rover
lament venture
#

im not turned to stone and can yet change

hard rover
#

give it a few years and we'll see about that

exotic ginkgo
#

are tournament ideas welcome? (particularly from me, a pretty new-to-cosmo-pvp-player)

gilded spindle
#

Sure thing!

keen siren
#

(free-for-all ending match) !

exotic ginkgo
# gilded spindle Sure thing!
  • 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

keen siren
#

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?

gilded spindle
keen siren
#

*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)

white apex
#

fog is very bad and not fun

#

that is just going to be random rps more than skill

#

not fun to watch or play

white apex
#

i will probably not be free until late november though

hard rover
#

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

upbeat ridge
#

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

sonic flame
#

in classic, it was impossible to distinguish between corridors and fire extinguishers

#

this is not the case in modern

upbeat ridge
#

good ol double click corridoor/conveyor

regal blaze
#

What is the min player count for the rebal tourney/

young jacinth
#

One person other than me

regal blaze
#

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

young jacinth
#

I at least wont host normal 1.5 mil until its fun to play again

gilded spindle
sonic flame
#

"1 mil is better! also... 2 mil is better!"

gilded spindle
#

Even if it’s close, it’ll be at least two months before I go back and revisit it

white apex
#

2m is not better....

gilded spindle
#

It’s very unlikely that you’ve played 2mil since classic

regal blaze
#

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.

tender root
#

I think 1.5 is fine

hard rover
#

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

young jacinth
#

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

regal blaze
#

If the meta isn't going to change much moving to 1mil or 2mil, why not just keep 1.5?

young jacinth
#

I guess its about the small differences in how archetypes are built, played and perform

desert sky
#

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

young jacinth
#

Thats such a small amount of archetypes that dont work anymore comparetively

desert sky
#

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

desert sky
young jacinth
desert sky
#

The meta has never been at a consensus more than a month or so since I was there

young jacinth
#

Then we have been playing in different metas xD

desert sky
#

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

hard rover
#

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

tender root
hard rover
#

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

tender root
#

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

hard rover
hard rover
tender root
hard rover
#

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

tender root
#

it is unless you're using a paper ship with MASSIVE rails

hard rover
#

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

tender root
hard rover
#

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

tender root
hard rover
#

but that doesn't matter at all because the alternative is you just die either way (because you get outdps'd)

tender root
#

but you would need to sacrifice a lot

hard rover
#

like what?? 2 max length rails are only 900k

#

that's like nothing psure tbrails spend more than that on tbs and rails

tender root
#

"only"

hard rover
#

it's railguns 😭

#

it's like the most expensive modular thing in the game idk what you expect from them

tender root
#

this is what you can afford with max length rails (ship by slowking)

#

its a very risky ship to play

hard rover
#

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

white apex
#

1.5m currently is basically 2m+ classic

#

the only difference is the physical size

#

which restricts mostly stuff like spinner/swarm

surreal pecan
#

Best of 197?

young jacinth
surreal pecan
#

Hmm.

#

Good point

desert sky
#

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!"

keen siren
#

...then to say ....tournament context and field of battle determine "meta" and archetypes.

#

so ye

south tusk
#

w kite fix from walt

gray halo
#

ye . . .

#

I think we need to categorise kites as a category cus now eveyrthing can be 1

south tusk
#

ive always thought about it as. rammer,kite,morbiter,spinner

#

maybe cruiser

ye but now an orbiter can be a kite too

@young jacinth so 100mil, illegal?, 1 ship? (ECs allowed?)

gray halo
young jacinth
snow seal
#

explosive charges

gray halo
# snow seal ?

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

snow seal
#

with huge ships mod

gray halo
#

ye I know but its still illigal by its size

gray halo
#

its still too big to be flying it on a school lane

snow seal
#

if u filled the 1000x1000 grid with corridor, it would cost 100mil

#

if u used any functional part, it would be more than 100mil

gray halo
#

ye but still a ship even 500x500 would be half of a km and that aint fitting in traffic

snow seal
#

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

gray halo
#

what do you rally want to fly ship this size in a school lane?

snow seal
#

i'm not, the ai is

@young jacinth will the 100mill be using the built in ai or just right-click on cr

young jacinth
# snow seal what if ur ship splits

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

young jacinth
#

@tender root you too

tender root
#

oh ok ty

snow seal
#

a dead section of ship can still shoot stuff..

gray halo
#

f I was making my ship and I just realize that I used ONLY 5,5 MIL

tulip monolith
#

this thing is only 17.5 mill,

hard rover
#

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

gray halo
hard rover
#

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
