Long range sensors have picked up massive energy readings - what could it be?
We have all been thinking it was MI... But its not... so... WHAT IS IT?
By the way: MI now pose a greater threat. Lies. They are more stupid than ever.

An Admin is never late, Mersenne Twister; nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.
sorry, couldn't resist
Also, MI were just given a boost in firing power and maneuverability. It wasn't much, but it was just supposed to help them be able to keep firing until they died, instead of running out of energy after two volleys.

To bad they never ran out of energy after 2 volleys. It took about 7 Alphas before they were moot.

I have taken this feedback onboard and buffed Mi weapons accordingly. They now do precisely 1,151% more damage with everything they do.

so.. any damage they did from moving around is amplifiedby over 1,000 times?
too bad thats still 0
but... thatd be a cool idea. small region of damage in the rear of all ships when theyre moving?

LOL its just happened in sag, and we were all right......MI, a massive node plus a fleet of MI spawned in luyten, came through to cin and started attacking the grubbs cluster, then ICC came through the gate and killed them all. i was sat cloaked watching my energy dwindle from max to 0 in like 2 mins, and watching my latency go from about 40 to 34476, then it dc'd me....ouch XD. FYI the Nexus 14 is absoloutly MASSIVE!!!

pakhos, saying % more means multiplication by default. 150% of 20 is one and a half times 20 = 30

Don't ask me why there seems to be a fog over every screeny... all my screenies look like that since they were changed to jpg output, just noticed when uploading now.
That's odd... no fog or distortion in the uploaded copies... must be photo preview... *shrug* Carry on. [ This Message was edited by: Coeus on 2010-07-28 19:16 ]

You know Jack, you would think that the MI would be able to make some sort of picket ship to deal with the missile rape we gave them today.
The MI are supposed to be pretty adaptable when cut off from 'home'
right?
So how hard would it be too give them a few more ship types that they currently lack like bombers and true picket ships that would make them a more credible threat?
