And now that I am sober. and thinking somewhat clearly im going to tell you our terms because I am going to do something exstremly offensive to you Dev's and all you folks who "think" they know we should get.
I James Smith a Man 30 years and nearly 31 years of age who hath worked in video games since the tender age of 14 professionally and non professionally designing and relying on much smarter friends to do programming for him know how hard your job is. and not being paid or appreciated for it. Go cry to Moses.
I know how hard your silly little factions are to run.
I know how hard your silly server is to run.
I know the inherent "ideas" of balance and cuteness needed to make things equal nice and Utopian.
I know how flying indy is cooler then flying for a faction.
I was a teenager before I knew everything and now I know more now = Infinity +1 don't even start with me.. siddown etc etc etc.
I even know how smelly your socks are.
did that offend you? maybe you should consider this in future replies to subject considering other peoples business. at least before you apply some form of empathy.. and putting our shoes on at leas imaginary wise.
Cause if your not in my Skype channel labeled MirrorShare I know for a damn fact you have no idea what our job is.
As much As i LOVE seeing nomad subject pop up in the forums I hate repeating myself ad nausea. So im just going to say it now.AGAIN
Nomad cloaks if they used FUEL of ANY KIND would too powerful. Thats right the human cloaks? too uber. how can i tell? I've been seeing BARGES running around cloaked thier whole routes. MAJOR balancing disappoint folks. Good job.
Also Jump trading.. REHEHEEHHALLY? NICE ONE! Expect that to get worse with docking modules working.
I wouldn't dream of having anything that outbalanced in my faction. you know why? because my faction has a SINGULAR perpose.
and its "ruining your day."
Now jinx:
' Wrote:the primary idea of such features is : work vs. reward
work includes time and also efford. - these two can be substituted with more abstract "currencies" like credits.
Blahblablaha
no faction is special - the workload must be equal to others.
We do one thing. sink money (success or fail and from our other factions..human factions) into blowing you up. Its the simplest faction in the game. and were also the most left behind unless its a NERF. you see Im with IE understand that balancing or altering the way things are run system wide is important cause vanilla freelancer is... terribly onesided.
but.. Nerf the thing that's supposed to be a chaotic and terrorizing element in the community? ...Really? or maybe the dev team wants that title god sure knows most factions are terrified of you.
I refuse to buy any "story" where things where "considered" but alas "never made it". Or use a contrived third party system outside what would be considered "the norm" for an ADVANCED ALIEN RACE WHO HAS ONE JOB AND ONE JOB ONLY in game.. to make things dead. For free. no bounty.. just. die human scum.
And all cloaks will do? is makeup for a lot of these "nerfs". your right Im asking for this on merit. so you deal with that.
You prove how we are just as duty-full being everyone's freaking enemy to have to use "HUMAN" methods for "OUR" technology and ill give you a Nobel prize.
We dont trade so we dont abuse cloaks like trade factions are doing it.. we dont mine and make money.. we AREN'T EVERY FACTION THAT EXISTS FOR MONEY.. we want BLOOD we want TEARS.. (not bounty's not tolls not trade)
AND WE ARENT GOING TO START JUST TO HAVE YOUR STUPID TOYS deal with it. you can only.. ADMIT it makes sence. sure stomp around and fume all you want about us saying no we wont change we arent going to turn into stupid little pirates or traders or zoners or whatever the hell you humans wanna do were nomads we DO OUR thing.
We exist to kill you. and i already compromise that by being too soft in the fact that. I cant for the life of me just shoot a transport in cold blood. ...or rpers.
Cant. never have never could i ask my other nommies to try and THEY cant. so maybe where not evil enough? maybe thats why we don't deserve any "extra" help cause we aren't terrorist enough. I may accept that.
Hell I know keepers are a pariah I was one I know they were jerks but guess what..
This is K'hara Cloaks where talking about.
I banned the jerks from my em effing faction.. Myths about "gentleman's agreements" and "blow jobs" in dark alleyways need to stop here and NOW. I want us to focus on one thing. getting better equipment that makes sence for the nomads.
Heres what we should be. in a nutshell.
I dont want missles.. NOMAD MISSLES? that is the STUPIDEST crap ive EVER seen. Nomads have and are ENERGY.. thier CANNONS should be devistating three times that what you flesh-bags can pull off.
Shields? WHO THE HELL needs shields.. nomads shouldent have shields WERE ENERGY.. instead? our hulls should regenerate.. hell take HALF of our hitpoints away give us regenerating hulls and well still kill you for the fun of it? Deal?
Countermeasures? pfft screw that we can cloak and or Outmaneuver your silly metal dongs that blow up.
OR WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO on a whim. (though i have suggested a cool down timer of 10-15 minutes before we can re cloak in other threads.)
MINES! now thats a laugh.. there should be no nomad mines at all.. the wilde might like thier mines cd's and missles.. but thier half human.. and therefore.. need the help. *WINK WINK*
Jumpdrives? What you think the sunpopper took a bus? you think the osirus got its jumpdrive from goodwill? I personal dont care if we ever get a jumpdrive. free cloak with a cooldown timer accomplishes the same thing.
Carrier moduels? sure it would be CUTE to see mammy vomiting up 5 voidrunners in an attack but again i dont care for that mod either we dont need it.
In summary: know your role.
Cause we do. All to well. and i think thats the problem.
