Retro Booster
Increase thrust and make it free with Starbase?
I decided to relive the days gone by in my new blog.

Except the big about dorjan being jelly, that's just spidey's ego.
Which is why it would be good to have for scouts...tunabreath wrote:QUOTE (tunabreath @ Feb 20 2009, 02:30 AM) Is there any way to make it an omni-directional booster? That would be a lot more useful than just retro, which you only really need to avoid mines or on approach to a aleph.
CC guys, if it's possible could you try to up it's thrust (It seems most would like to try that) else bin it.

Someone once told me that retro boost was under exp in order to help wayward HTTs that missed their target . Unfortunately I later learned that was a lie; HTTs can't mount retro boost. But it would be kinda cool if they could.
I still have a soft spot for it. I'd be sad to see it go, even if I agree that under no circumstance should anyone ever BUY retro boost.

I like using retro boost, but I've changed my mind (see, it can happen even in the CC forum).
A few things:
a) Retro boost is hard to use, as you need to know to push both reverse thrust and boost when using it. It's a bit silly that this is required for this one rarely used crypto tech... especially as it has mass and makes your scout perform worse at other times.
b) The visuals are wrong. The booster plume shoots from the back of the ship, instead of the front. This would need a code change to fix.
c) Most importantly, Apochboi told me how broken it is, and what a huge load of work fixing it would be, even if it can be done.
Let's just let it go. I loved the silly thing, but I'm quite happy playing without it too.
