C++ This isn't an issue of know-how. It probably doesn't even matter. I saw a lot of old timers on subspace and not many new players. Seems like everyone did what I did: came back to see if Steam could save our beloved old zone. The few noobs I did see didn't stand a chance. The flew into a poorly d...

The bot has a reward system in place, but it tracks kill streaks.. which lends itself to the brawl atmosphere, not a competitive team game. Remove streaks and replace it with a flags collected bonus . Players will get better ships if they flag.. so they WILL fight over flags. Give a bonus for slower...

I wasn't pissed that my idea wasn't liked. It was that no one saw my idea. It was altered, no discussion, and put out live as if THAT was what I intended. Then I had to listen to people PM me for an hour about how the idea was broken and didn't work. All I asked was a couple days to test out an an i...

I don't agree with you assessment of what happened. It doesn't matter if its true or not. The game is dead. I'm not coming back. I'm sorry about ignoring your follow up to my theme. I don't remember seeing it. Maybe I did and I responded.. I truly don't remember. I was extremely disappointed in how ...

Huh.. I swear I heard that phrase many times from many different people.. but I could be remembering it wrong. Anyway, how's league?

Ent altered the code before it went live and changed the fundamental structure of the game mechanic. I spent 3 months making animated graphics, learning to code in C++, learning to mod for subspace.. to have my stuff changed last minute, no warning. It was unbelievably anti-climatic and I felt betra...

So, did your plan of endlessly tampering with minor, unimportant, and trivial elements in pub not work out? Did you try changing private freq size allowances? How about changing the point system again to make buying items easier( or harder)? What.. that didn't get people to come back and play? Wow, ...

Ok, this is a great idea. Thanks for getting it implemented. My complaints first: 1) Get rid of the star wars stickers, they are just distracting. Or make them very dark, so bullets and ships are very apparent on top of them. 2) Some UI feedback to help steer new players to the theme. I had to have ...

Is this the system you were working on several years ago Fly?

I could code all this, but that is besides the point. Working with Ent again is an entirely different matter.

This is just a discussion to put things in perspective. Does anyone have ideas to contribute based on the model I've presented?
