mark wth?

im just messing with him, but honestly man, his smaller ships went out very quick by my plasma (few were left but they got finished off fast) (and i attacked his fleet so i doubt he woulda outmanuverd my plasma, remeber it targets a ship and instantly plasmas that ships) also sensor blackout dosent stop firing but slows it down alot so the ships attack really isnt very usefull, and thirdly my celsiors and there acs took out a few of his luspets, leaving the  rest of my fleet to wipe up the mess (remebr i had a descent on the way and a few backup ships) dom even said i prolly woulda won anyway

also, wth do you not like me, i still dont get y some, not neccesarily mark are treating me like shit

also dom, it twas quite the game, however had you beaten me in battle (woulda been narrow) you woulda run into my blocaked of a few  torpedo/ pulse turrets, either way it was a good game


now back to topic, mal your prolly right, theyd probably to able to type somthing in and warp in a tavara and some promethiuses, i would however jsut like to see them stop by and play, it might give the comunity a more sense that there involved, as they can say ideas (while getting killed by optec or doca) and it will help people to point out in game things that dont work, bugs, feds warp in not working, and other stuff

If only I were a moderator on this forum, Id smite you! Stop talking about a game in this thread. Talk with mark and dom and whoever over MSN or in the lobby if you must.


I think the biggest thing that would come out of this game, for whoever gets to play ofc is the chance to see how ships were intended to be used, but not necessarily how they are used in MP right now. I think they might suprise everyone with a few things we havent think of yet

im not worried, ill teach these lovely devs how powerful a mixed federation or dominion fleet really are!!!

infact i would love for one of them to play klingon just so they could either show me the klingons are good or let me show them that the klingons are terrible! The other one can be borg to compensate because no matter what, THERE GOING DOWN!!!

Also Baron just to make things a little more fun, i think if the team of normal players beat the amazing FO Team they should eb allowed to beta test until the next Us Vs Them Match, sort of like a reward for beating god but this means they also git an opinion on balancing from skilled players, and if you loose you dont get to beta test because your not skilled enough, sort of like a test?

P.S. I know your going to smite me Baron but i cant stand his mistakes... PLASMA COIL IS AN AREA OF AFFECT WEAPON!!! that meas it doesnt attack a single ship or follow a bloody ship, you can fire it anywhere in space and the ship has to be where it fired, if its not it doesnt do a bloody thing, when have you seen plasma chasing a ship on this yet a lone on TV. You can tell them to target the ship but still only fires wherever that ship is but if the ship mvoes it stays still. The samething applies to Sensor Black out! Read the bloody tooltips, understand how special weapons work and don't insult the only people online whow ere willing to put up with you the other night and train you. The easiest way to avoid plasma coil and blackout is to just move, arc torps are for battleships...

Of course the Dominion and Federation are powerful. I've been saying that all along lol
Klingons are OK I think. Against Borg they do have problems, because of the fact that most of their ships use pulses (early game) so they are pretty much hapless against scubes. But they could just avoid a fight and tech up to Vorchas and Charg, or Arties and Susa? Dunno man, u prolly know more than me about whats hit on the MP I like playing as Klingons though and I didnt notice too many shortcommings with them.

Well thats not up to me lol. We'll see what the team has to say about that Plus I dont think there is a lot of beta testing going on atm, or am I mistaken?
I'd also like to add that this is not about win and loose but about having fun, how many chances do you get to play against game developers? Just so you all can appreciate how rare this opportunity is, in all of my time here I've only played against them once (Sfera was with me) and that was a very long time ago
So do your best guys!
Oh and I do hope we could do similar things in the future, but instead of tutorials have different competitions (like best new maps for instance  ). Though Optec wasnt thrilled about it initially, I hope you guys can change his mind with all the awesome stuff your gonna post this time


Oh and pretty, pretty please let that be the last off topic thing in this thread  (I post something to improve the forum quality and you guys go off-topic  >:()

of course its about fun, im merely doing the good classic of friendly banter to get them going

Klingon have many short comings in my opinion, including their rediuclously long build tree and something you've already stated, too many short range pulse ships... But also too many ships that so similar things to the lower class ships, choose the women avatar adn you ave 3/4 torpedo barges?

anyway, you've gone and ruined what i was going to do I dnt wanna give away my ideas so when you going to be on msn so i can see fi it counts?

Where's my prize?

posted on April 20th, 2009, 4:13 pm

I have been working on a Java program to test early game building strategies I was wondering if it would count? Also it would be nice if everyone involved in the game would record it so we could all see it.

Ok, u're the third person who asked me about a different thing to submit. So I think we could change the rules.

You can submit anything that has relevance to FO into the competition (stuff like maps, programs, ideas,...). Everything will count!


Oh we'll see what we can do about the replay

I guess I haven't a chance, since if I wrote a tutorial, it would be [shadow=red,left]Wrong. So epicly epicly wrong.[/shadow] Because I am inexperienced with the whole game. Maybe next time, eh?
