Regeneration: Bots and Bats

[WP-TimberWolf]

I do not use regens. It takes away from the skill it takes to fight a battle. I believe they should be restricted in the next mod. Anyone that agrees please vote here.

Poll will run for 7 days.

Point of fact, I do not like regens, missles, mines, or torps. My first space combat sim game was Star Wars X-Wing. You did not get regens on there. Missles were far more useful, but could be easily avoided. There were no mines, and using torps vs fighters was a waste of valuable ammo.

Granted, this is not Star Wars X-Wing, but that is what I started on, and my preference is for a similair style. Though, you can not find another space combat sim out there in the anywhere near the same ballpark as FreeLancer. And I do enjoy this game, and this mod, far too much to abandon it. I am alread looking forward to the next Void mod.

Another pointless thread........
To point out something.........this isn't STAR WARS or some other space game. It's FReelancer. If you don't like using bots and batts, then don't use them. No one is forceing you to.
I use them becuase I find it funny to see people get very mad and go " you don't have no honor!", "NOOB!", "Cheater!". To point out another thing, pirates don't have honor. Only the fools and idoits who are pirates do.
I regen most of the time in non-pvp fights. You know why? Becuase I can.

I know of RP clans who have rules that limit how and when bats and bots are used in battle. These clans dont dock at the place of a big battle and the battles are usualy 3 on 1, 4 on 1, 7 on 2. They make riads and use many tactics to win battles. There RP b/b rules are as follows.

1. When making a raid or leading small groups of enemies to an out to a neutral space where respawning wont help members our clan may regen hull ONLY after making a kill. you WILL NOT regen to stay alive, only to get set up before taking on another enemy.

2. regening may also take place with no restrictions if your opponent uses them first in a manor different from rule one.

there the same as guns ect there in the game to be used

Exactly, perhaps we should start a new poll entitled " Should weapons be available in the next mod?" Since I started playing here I've seen new clans and freelancers come and go with all the new ideas they've brought with them, I'm not against this it can only help the server to grow; but this regen thing is stupid. We've already given way to the no regen in pvp thing which is fine, outsied of pvp if I wanna kill some 1 I'm gunna use everthing available to acheive that goal. And far from being boring, I think it makes combat more fun, increasing the length of the fight. And after all, being a space simmulation, isn't that what the majority of us are here to do???

good point Trav, i think that covers it all

Sigh , yet again the topic of Batts and bots , surely its a simple thing to understand , without all these people beating their chests, saying "how macho they are , because they dont use batts and bots ". If your got them use them , if you dont want to use them DON'T , no recriminations , no name calling etc . If you agree before hand in a PVP not to use them fine , no problem , in a clan battle , hell use everythingn you've got at your diposal . I also think it enhances the game , when having a good close fight with another player i want to keep it going as long as possible , not to finish after about 30 seconds , i fly on colours server as well and they dont have this hangup about batts and bots , everyone uses what they got and the fights there are very good , no moaning about it , IT'S THE GAME WE LOVE TO PLAY , STOP WHINGING ABOUT IT

First off why don't people think befor they make these stupid questions. There is probably no way you could remove them from freelancer, i imagine that that is 1 part of the game that is so hard wired there is no way you could do anything about it. I bet that bit isn't even decoded. I sure 1 of the many modders on here would be able to confirm that

[Stoertebecker]

well technicaly it would be easy.. just give every ship a 0/0 capacity for them

[lonewolfquestor]

A big sorry for double posting

[WP-TimberWolf]

You know, it is interesting to see when you put up a simple question, one of which you have not previously seen answered, recieve answers that can probably tell you more or less the general consenses of the players in the game. I wanted a wide, diversified answer, along with opinions. I got them. Thank you all for your comments. They have gone a long way toward helping my understanding of the way this mods is played.
