The HuB is rocking so hard

[Yquem]

Thanks Cyrene for the HuB

It works so good that I stayed up 3 hours longer that it was intended - so I only got 3 hours sleep tonight before I had to get up and go to work

In those 3-4 hours I spent in the HuB I dont think I used much more than 40-50 ped and got a lot of token in return. Next time I will try to look a bit more on expences - but for now - it looks like a lot of damn lot of cheap fun.

During my times there I only had one issue with lag and only dc'ed two times.

It is great that you have made several rooms to go in depend on how high roller you are.

One thing I think you should improve is to prevent ppl making teams and just doing token harvest. Not easy to be alone agains 3 guns. It is OK in the 25pec room - who cares - but in the high roller I think it is nessecary to have balanced teams. Red agains Yellow.

It could work this way.
- Teams cant shoot each other (to prevent teams in teams)
- Every time one is entering the room they will go into the team with less ppl - should keep team balanced
- Before you enter a room you should get information about how many there is on each team (who want to join a room with 10 ppl shooting at you)

And yes - you forgot to make plates unavailable.

HuB ftw

Good suggestions but with regard to teams should also apply to 25pec room. That's only room i'll ever go in I was outgunned a number of times by teams.

The armour plates issue also makes it difficult for someone to compete without using plates.

Yep maybe for the 25pec room too - 3 ppl can make a KT harvest feest there - and if so - ppl will leave fast.

Not me, I'm stupid

I tried taking on teams, was a bit hopeless since I'm not good with pvp anyway. Still was a lot of fun and I do like a challenge. A few times I nearly got one of the team members but the silly gits run through tp and followign them can be difficult whilst taking fire all time. Also the armour plates make it considerably more difficult for the ones using high level pvp plates.

Thanks for starting the thread Yquem, and giving your opinions, as well as the others. It's good to hear that people are really enjoying it, because it is Cyrene's exclusive system, and something Ed wants the players to be excited about participating in. I know that he will listen to your suggestions and tweak it the best way possible to make it even more efficient for everyone.

Even my MSM/MSR partner (Syer) was playing at The Hub long past his bedtime because he was having so much fun. We were all still on TS and he was so animated with what was going on and how much fun he was having. I haven't checked it out yet, but will do that today when I get back into the game.

Just had a chat with Ed and mentioned this thread. He said that he was aware of it and would be making a post later today if he can get to it, but will definitely be popping in when he can. Of course, the main focus right now is getting things as tweaked and fixed as possible and getting the patch out, so I'm sure everyone can understand that this is priority.

Rock the Hub ... someone needs to write a theme song for The Hub now.

ms9 or ed I'd like clarification if it's ok to use plates in the hub?

Although I like the hub and would love to spend more time there, I'd like to play within the rules of the game or take a hike back to calypso

Hi Ace ... as I mentioned, Ed is aware of this thread and he said that he will be responding later. I'm sure he will sort out all the questions and give you the answers you need.

As for now it is legal as you can attach it - (good or bad) - C-team just fix it as it should not be possible. No need to make a crime out of it. Bigger problem is the team issue.

Trying to figure out how to shoot, never shot a living thing for all these years
At least now I understood why I can't shoot back in space, apparently it's not just "aim and click mouse button"

 

[Yquem]

ohhhh and btw - fix that issue about the implant - no need to pay too much

REALLY??? Explain!! I don't have a means to defend myself in space yet but feel I should be thinking about it. How does space combat work then? What do I need to know?

Does the HUB have a space combat thing too?

Incidentally about the teams couldn't this just be combated by more teams? I'm never so keen when people say something is unfair simply cause someone else put on their thinking cap and came up with a way to do it better than they did.

Its a bit like saying the Virus Gang or whatever they are called who attack mother ships are "unfair". There's nothing unfair about it. They got organised (which is very difficult) and spend a lot of ammo and probably practice flying a lot too in order to achieve their goals. Nothing unfair about it.

Main thing id like to see added is a Notification that a "Room is Occupied" Ie there is someone (not a number of) in there so you wont be wasting your time in a potentially otherwise empty room IF you dont want ot

Seems F armor can't use plates at all, and M armor you can put plates on all parts apart from the tigh guards. Inside the hub i maybe disconnected 25 times with MA ERROR. And need to fix the lagg on the weapons.

True - nothing fun in sitting in a room alone and wait. I did that yesterday - and i had to pay for it as i didnt get start token back when I t'ed.

On the other hand it is possible to see if there is a GD in the room. On the other hand somebody has to be the first to enter. What they should do is to give back token if you T out of the room - then problem is solved.

I just had to discover 1st person + aim modes, always played in 3rd person mode before.

Didn't helped me much though, died 100+ times and hadn't killed anyone, apparently should have played more FPS games and less turn-based strategies

this is interesting haven't seen the hub yet going now )

In a TP use the drop down box (like when you look for space etc) then you find the HuB
