Unread post SubZero Edit
Hello,

I am currently playing in 3 different unlimited turn subzero edits. I've found there so far my facorite. Minus the 93million to get the redrum, but we all play red now don;t we :evil: . Lately i've been hunting the aliens alot more aggressively and everytime i go after a ""boat"" or the subterfuge "defensive and alien capture ship" name is escaping me. I blow them everytime, i am hitting with enough to take sheilds off and then spamming 1 till ships at 0 then i spam 1 some more, and i dont understand why there blowing up and not becoming mine.

2nd question.
Do the alien ships still always spawn in the same sector like before where you can planet lock them in?

Planet locking respawn points, to me, sounds like an exploit that should be frowned upon. Perhaps when JP gets the alien AI logic upgraded, this won't be an issue...but until then, personally, I wouldn't look kindly on anyone that did that.

Just my $0.02...not that it matters :D

Also, might wanna check and see if the sysop has established pods for these ships. In most instances if there are no pods associated with the ships then your wasting your time...

My 2 cents as well.

What version is the server? If I remember right there is a setting on the new TWGS that could prevent you from capping an alien and would instead blow it up. I think it is an x% of the time it will fail to cap. I would not play a SZ edit if that is set as a blue as the game is weighted to much in a red's favor (pretty much already is with wSST).

Someone also brought this to my attention. Are you on a corp? If you are spamming with 1 fig and your not on a corp ultimately you will end up blowing up your own ship. Thank Vid for that one!
