Bios Poll

[spideycw]

The more I read some of these comments, the more I think vir had a point when he said only people who command should comment.

Please keep in mind people that bios does not need to mine most of the time after it it has mined 2 or 3 he3 rocks. All it needs to do is buy a base and camp 2 alephs and it will almost certainly win in 2 hours or eventually die after 2 hours of a very unfun game.

These changes have been put up to tackle this problem. There is not going to be "no change" so you can stop asking and/or commenting about that.

Ummm, so then who would get the win for the game? Bios who is trapped in their home for 2 hours? Or the team that controls the map? Oh wait, no one so the goal has moved from winning to Bios surviving for 2 hours. Snorefest!

Your first post was deleted because you were arguing to not change anything, when it was already clearly stated that a change was going to be made. The rest of your posts have been deleted because you cannot grasp that concept and seem to want to cause drama.

That's the point. If you can't end a game after 2 hours, really, nobody deserves to win, and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves, particularly if Bios is involved. Yes, i just said everyone should just play better, even though it did leave a bitter taste of almonds in my mouth.

Dear Community Core Team


You dont need to touch Bios at all imho. If you must than PLEASE don't change it so much that the charm of it is gone i.e. "the comeback faction" or "kill it before it grows into a beast".

Thanks
MrChaos

edit: oops I just gave my opinion without reading the other responses. *shrugs* than just dont pay attention to the first sentence is all. Thanks for the continuing efforts andI'll only be mad for a few days after you make the changes

Be sure to check all of the above to ensure that such a thing doesn't happen again.

Change 10 year old Bios core features - For a better Allegiance

Would that be core features like paydays that make bios so $#@!ing unique? Maybe we should look at their single most important unique attribute, miner capacity? (1.0) or was that miner speed? (1.0) oh wait maybe it was miner yield? (1.0) Perhaps you were talking about the reduced con build time? Noir added it. Probably talking about the prox on their fighters...except that was Noir too.

Maybe you should $#@!ing look at what is being changed and what is obviously spidey pandering to the rabid idiots in the crowd before you post?

What should really happen is I get put in my own admin group where I have mod review over everything you post so that the normal alleg populace no longer has to deal with your idiocy

~edits~
Looks like someone deleted you, good

The last few threads in gameplay seem to show people have so much fun in games that last way over 2 hours that they feel they are worth playing (and posting about). I don't think we should take that away from them!

[MrChaos]

Ok.... after watching it happen again today, Im beginning to see Bios, in the right hands, can completely out expand other factions etc etc etc.... *sigh* thats why I leave the ouchy brain stuff to the deep thunkers. I just really like the personality of Bios and it would make MrChaos sad if the cloaking and comebacking was harmed... thats my only worthwhile comment

edit: spelling

I would totally vote for normalizing their ship mass if it also came with reduced-weight heavy cloaks. I always felt this feature was under-used and was potentially very interesting, but was overshadowed by badass dog-fighting with low-mass ships.

So, in other words, you want to be able to take a heavy cloak with no disadvantages.
