I'm intrigued. This will definitely be discussed as we try to make SY a more viable techpath.

I miss the old SY when you could just buy what you really wanted and not pay for the rest.

have you taken a look at my capcore (a core to show people my idea for balancing/fixing SY)?
it does that.

no, this is not me saying my SY is great and it should be used in the community core, the whole point of it is to show people my idea and let them say if it is good or not (feed back has been good so far though /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />)

------------------------------------------------------
Upgrade SY (standard techbase cost)(unlocks Tier3 SY)

Bolded bits by me.

shouldn't it be
QUOTE Win-Button:
Long Toms[/quote]

In keeping with the title of this thread, longtoms should be renamed due to the gayness of the name "longtom" in favor of something cool like BFT for Big F___ing Turret or BMF for "Bad Mother F___er"

That way Spidey doesn't have to sound like a character from broke back mountain by saying "We're getting battleships with longtoms" and instead can sound like Samuel L. Jackson and yell, "We're getting battleships with Bad Mother F___ers!!"

I still hold that longtoms should be axed all together /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
