I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

It seems like the novas are slower.. Only difference I could find, and I might be wrong.

[Koolmo]

I dunno, I'll go check that, what was the speed before?



EDIT: Well, I can still kill a fighter with it. Looks the same to me.

Like the swiftness of the fire death will overcome you

[Igiss]

Speed of Nova was reduced about 60-70%.

Mercenary ID will be lawful, if you wish to be unlawful, get Pirate IDs. No other choice. Well, one more choice... terrorist ID.

[McNeo]

The reason we dont want an ID to do everything is because, that was the FL ID in last version, and that was being abused by lots of people.

i think the nova is 320 m/s though im not sure. If it is, can it be lowered more to make it a purely capship killer to somthing like 200-220 please? Dab made me swallow two Antimatter torpedos:lol:

[Dab]

Yeah, its 320. But remember Mcneo, it took me 8 tries to hit you with them, and when I did, it was pure luck. I fired to the side and you flew into it, not aimed and hit you.. But I guess having it changed to 270 would make it nearly useless against fighters, as it should be.

One of the problems with having Mercenary ID is that people might hire you to assassinate or attack a lawful character. Thats an unlawful action, but mercenaries are known to do unlawful missions.. Mercenary ID maybe for unlawful, BHG ID for Lawful mercs.

No idea.. Maybe he is getting a corrupt download.

Have him try getting it from Here and see if it works.

No way.... The Nova's slow enough as it is, it's hard enough to even hit a gunboat now, since it has no homing capability. You have to be eating the GB's turret-fire to be close enough hit it. And hitting a fighter is nearly impossible, except as you say out of pure luck or if the idiot is screaming straight at you and doesn't move. Slowing the Nova down any more will just nerf it out of all usefulness.

(although I am using a nova on a VHF, maybe thats my problem :\)
