Now, does this make more sense? Personally I'd put myself at level 1 right now, but I'd like to play level 2 again. I think many players do too. But unless and until we can create an "Old School" mode level 2 ain't gonna happen. And that's too bad too, because I can see the level 2 players moving up to level 3 to give you guys some much needed competition.


Sigh. Most people are at your "level 2" and they did so w/o an "old school" mode.

"Old school" mode will just promote a refuge for ppl too lazy to learn scripts, until
scripters proliferate there too, then those ppl will just go back to whining because
its easier.

You aren't going to get "level 3" players by subjecting them to lazy school mode.

considering that all it takes is a trip to navhaz or outpost-4 to get from 1 to 3 id say your list is a complete waste of pixels

Same could be said of people who use scripts.. too lazy to play the game themselves.

You and I are never going to agree Sing, so unless you can tell me how you can make an old school edit that I would enjoy playing, let's move on.

He has and so have a lot of us on every issue you have invented, read the dang posts.

But in all reality I don’t think you can ever find an old school edit that you will “enjoy” You want to go back and live in the past, argue and debate in the present and probably will never get any better in the future.

Actually, no, I don't. The fastest ping usually gets to be the torper, but to make
them the killer would expose our corp's grid should he/she be killed. So normally,
they're only going to get a kill if the guy ends up in the same sector as our planet,
and the torper is running a citkill. That rarely happens, however, as usually the
torper auto-returns back home and a citkilla makes a bad combination for that.

Generally, if we employ a "killer" in the strictest sense of the word, they've got a
decent ping, but anything but the fastest.


Ah, that’s right, you guys don’t play 1-1 much any more, you sit in your citadels driving your planets like war ships killing players in the comfort of your citadel under your shields. And all on auto pilot.
