The Twarp took about 45 seconds to complete, in an MBBS game.
I could start the warp, then go refill my coffee in the kitchen.
Now THATS a delay.

Yep.

Ironic, we seldom agreed on much.

I could have sworn that HVS MBBS TW had a turn-per-warp delay. For some reason my memory recalls moving very fast in the 2tpw scout, but very slowly in the 16tpw IC. But, after returning to HVS MBBS TW I found out that the old game had no movement delays what-so-ever. You should see Zoc scripts fly in that sucker! LOL

But yeah, I can see JP's reasoning to make a hybrid ship movement delay, one to "get the job done" at top speed if no one else is around, but if two non-corped players are in the same sector, it's time to impose some delay so the human hand-eye reflexes get at least a chance to respond.

Because of real life and other things to do. Watching a ship take so long to move really doesn't do much for the adrenaline.

"A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

This is a point I've made often, but I'll repeat it for those who are new to the debate (or returning to it). The majority of people playing the game are doing it on private servers with close friends, not on public servers. There are definitely people who play the game like it used to be played, but when it comes to public servers, there tends to be less variety. It's a self-perpetuating cycle. Players who like these kinds of games know they won't find them on the public sites, and those who run public sites won't run those games because there aren't enough players interested in them. Ultimately, if you want to play TradeWars a certain way, you need to look for a group of like-minded players and get together to play. I think, at its best, TW is a bit like Dungeons and Dragons. It's a game master who's willing to put in the time and effort (and often money) to host a game for a group of friends. There are some very successful public sites, but it's very difficult to attract and retain a loyal player base these days.

How about a bang with no truce

was cool with me with the ship delay... These scriptkiddies didn't like it..makes me no difference, lol.

Sorry for the delayed response. I have rebanged this for tonight, without the delays.

I don't normally run delays (by popular demand), but this was a V1.x TWA and it imported with the delays.
