I like it But can you define "bad"? Bad like the nuclear bomb, or rather bad like something half-balanced, like the hit mine? _________________

ROFL..this one is good 1
Actually, let's remember.... When there is a bunch of new "bad" ships being invented, it means there are more new people taking a stronger interest in the game and it's stragetic implications.
Their stragety may be flawed or non-existant withn the game parameters however, it really means player base is expanding and this is good !
I hope each inventor of these "impossible ships" will look back in the forum in 6 months and say to themselves, "man...was I ever dumb then"
So...lets not be too hard on some of these new inventors. After all, the only true way to become knowledgeable is to get slapped around on the battlefield a few times and I really look forward to the opportunity to do so. The next Round there are at least 15 new targets that I will make available that are no longer in their 1st evo.
Actually...they have progressed to inventing ships
So.... even if you have to put up with some pretty silly inventions for a while, look at it as a good sign rather than an annoyance. |

Stupidest Invention yet!
Out of every 100 crap invention comes a good one... and there is not such thing as a bad inventor.. for its the effort that counts.. you never know when he might come up with something good
there is also the fact that old players are used to old tech and don't like new inventions.. i've seen some decent invention put down with out much thought _________________

Yes...I have seen this happen as well. New players bring fresh new idea's, strageties and concepts to the game. There have been some ships that were deemed "useless" and in fact, these ships were much more useful than some of the current ships in game. There have been a few invented that I would gladly put in the slot of the "War Cruiser" and re-delegate it to a new topic called "Almost Useless Ships"

I am always fine with new ideas. But there are three things they need:
1. They need to be correct, a correct syntax, but also correct description.
2. They need to be balanced.
3. They must not interfere with the laws of physics. _________________ [img]http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/599/kot2ks1.jpg[/img]

there is no inventor that can make only good inventions
its also not a good idea because it will straight away destroy your defensive array |

Its a joke.
And if an inventor makes only one ship, and its a good ship, an inventor can only make good ships. It is not physicly impossible to make only good ships. _________________ [img]http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/599/kot2ks1.jpg[/img]

But what is possible is to ask around about your idea before anyone posts crap about 4th fleet or nuclear bomb or any of another PoS that is ending here.So many of people would be spared of repeating why 4th fleet is debalancing the game,why something cant kill in radius of 2 sectors,why elephants cant fly,why fish cant walk etc.If those "inventors"would read the manual before inveting there wouldt be like 50% less of crap invetnions.
Nice one Dave,I love it. _________________ http://toptenproxysites.com/

You make a good point.
But ofcourse I could just send an invention of mid-sentence, so you could just simply denounce it instead of me having to bump it up, and then you people getting all angry and stuff. _________________ [img]http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/599/kot2ks1.jpg[/img]

laws of physics from whose perspective(s)? in my opinion, if you're a life-form that exists in higher dimensions, and you have a lot of free time, then go ahead and scr.ew with the 'laws' of the universe for all i care. if anyone sees it, then anyone they tell will just think they're nuts anyway. |

No, elephants can fly, but only in one direction... down. And there really is a species of fish that can walk... it's called the mud-skipper, and it can breath in air, as well as in water. (i think there are actually a few species of fish that can walk, and a lot that can 'walk' [can't remember them though]). |
