Posting to watch and probably to play later, if my internet ever stops sucking.

Well, we got some games in eventually, had some fun with my Mobula against some pyrmidians(a bad match-up usually). It was especially hilarious when that one pyrm rammed us...then died do to the ram!

[Greiger]

Ah I've seen some pyrmidian ramming antics.  In a pug match as a gunner on a galleon.  A Pyramid is charging us for a ram after taking out our two lower left side guns.  Somehow the captain stops on a dime and backs up, the pyramid cruises by us, missing completely and rams straight into an obstacle breaking his hull.  Then the our captain coasts right up and we point blank dual HWACHAAAAAA!!! the poor sap while he's recovering from the failed ram with our still perfectly functional right side guns.

0 to dead in a few seconds.

Yeah, ramming in a prym can be dangerous, because if you miss you either blow by way too fast for your port guns to fire at the target, or you blow by on the unarmed starboard side and are completely exposed. On the flip side, if you hit with the ram they're gonna be really hurting!

That's the one awesome thing about the Galleon - if you have quick fingers, you can make that thing dance.

Hmm, I just realized I haven't scheduled anything for this week. My bad... I'll see if I can remedy that.

Also, I signed up for newsletters from the dev. They just sent one out, here are the updates!

- Fixed a MAJOR memory leak, improved stability
- Improved physics
- Added REAR LADDERS to the Mobula. That was my main criticism of the ship, and it's been fixed. HURRAY!
- Added difficulty rating to ships and maps
- Tweaks to Field Gun (Smaller turn arc, decreased muzzle speed). Also added cloud mechanics to reduce sniping (see below). They will probably continue tweaking those guns.
- Added clouds in Battle on the Dunes, clouds move now. Sandstorms don't.
- Added moving clouds to Canyon Ambush

Also, they are organizing competitive events. Really now?! We should see if we can do something about it!

Nuuuuu my sniper spires >_<

Field Guns should still be excellent, just take more skill and positioning.

[GlyphGryph]

The whole benefit of the spires layout is that you can have three weapons, a field gun, rocket launcher, and flak gun, all with overlapping arcs.

If they've reduced the arc, there's a good chance that just won't be possible anymore.

Sniper mobulas are probably right out now - the arcs for the field guns barely overlapped as it was. Now it will probably be impossible.

Apparently Jesse Cox plays? Sweet.

We have a Friday event running, but only 3 people online. Come join us!

[Ozyton]

I would play, but I'm just not feeling up for it >_>

[Graknorke]

Due to timezones I missed out on that one, it being 2am. But I can make the one later today.

[GlyphGryph]

Was sad about missing last night. Blame Wrex. I'd like to play tonight for at least a couple matches though, so hopefully we can get another game going later?

* GlyphGryph hopes as hard as possible

so, event starting, let's get it on!
