' Wrote:People only want them because they can't buy them on stations or planets. But now they lose their rarity since most VHFs will undoubtly mount at least one.
Or because civilian guns suck (same reason half of Liberty used Flashpoints in 4.84). Or because, in Ench's words, they're pwetty.
(edit: Oh, and flashpoints aren't all that efficient. You want efficient, you look at Vampires or Disinfectors.)
' Wrote:Now that Codenames are no longer usable on bombers, they should be speciliased considerably - some made even slower but with ridiculously high speed (sort of like a mine),
Wat. Slower but with ridiculously high speed.
First off: Wat
Second: How is a gun that is slow but also ridiculously fast LIKE A MINE???????????///////
ench: they have low drain because they are much weaker. As whoever said, other guns are much more efficient.
Yeh, the efficency is bad. and Ench, if you want your 4.84 Vengies back, they are prettty much the same thing as flashpoints are now.I think. We all know you have goddessly skill with, like, everything, though, dosent matter much what you shoot when the server kills you for too much awesome.
Codenames are ridiculously overpriced. Back in 4.84 where codenames were actually useful for bombers, codies ranged from 3-8 mill, with the exception of Archangels because on a bomber they could **** ****. Nowadays? 10-20. Seriously.
What.
The.
Balls.
I agree with Athenian's boycott idea, although a bit less extreme.
EDIT: And speaking of Codes, Elsy, I have Onyxs and Jades for your faction at 3-5 mill a piece.

I HATE codename weapons, they fire too slow and move too slow to be of any use to my "ENGAGING!!!11one!" style. Besides, when your connection works the way mine does, you need as many chances to fire your laser as you can get.
While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack http://pastebin.com/SYQXBufs
In my previous server, they were junk that no one wanted... just for context. Seem rather powerful now though, but missiles are still better... Hay have you seen my all missile light fighter?
[font=Fixedsys]Ho hum. Maybe Codies aaare bit expensive when you buy them from some dealers, but... I don't know, environment changes, prices change.
[color=#FF99FF]Back when you had them on Bombers, they were cheaper maybe because they were an option of many.
Could always mount faction guns or Debbies or something.
Now that you can only mount them on Fighters you'd think they'd be cheapter but it's just that the alternatives to them aren't that shiny, so 'everyone' wants some for their Pirate / Merc / Freelancer ID -carrying ShipMac.
And uh... Vengeances back then drained even less than Flashies. It was kind of funny, siiince, the effect is a thick blue beam, looking more mighty than all other laserguns.
And they're called Vengeances afterall. Aaand they were like the weakest 9er guns there were in terms of damage and whatnot, but you just could mount four on a Guardian and fire all day.
Now you can do the same, just with three and not four, so, not too big a deal.
They just look prettier to me than all other lasers. But anyways.
