Hydrogen/Chute Vent Damage

Watching those ships move like that brought back some fond memories.

I didn't watch it live, because I happened to be engineering for the allied ship of that unfortunate Goldfish. Still amazing to watch, even though it resulted in us losing our shot at the tournament victory.
The old hydrogen is like the old heavy flak. Tonnes of fun, but it couldn't be left as it was.

You want realism when this game is literally impossible to begin with? Come on. Get real. If this game gets any slower or crappier I'm just going to stop playing entirely. Maybe I should have anyways since we've gone from exciting matches to snipefests and flying clunkers. The speed was not too fast. It felt that way when you first messed with it but after you really got used to it, the speed felt perfect.
Yeah the weights were a mess and wrong but Muse destroyed a perfectly good game. I'm not saying all ships should be able to dogfight but dammit, the squid should be back to it's old glory. It took a hell of a lot of skill to pull it off and it made it possible for that little ship to hold it's own against any other. Heck the Spire was actually better back then too thanks to the tools. Made it possible for it to evade charging ships and survive.
If breaking the game is what it takes to make this game fun again then dammit, BREAK THE GAME!!!
RearAdmiralZill:
I can see an argument for the squid standing to lose a little weight, but otherwise it all feels right. I don't expect Muse to break the game again either.

Is this a continuum? Can we find a happy medium where you quit bombing people's threads with complaints but don't ragequit the game? The Squid can still dogfight. I do it all the time. And it's a blast. I would like to see it lose a little mass, but that would turn it into a bouncy ball on collisions. Maybe a slightly better turn rate. It's not broken or unusable the way it is. On topic:
Squids use the vertical tools to evade and engage, Pyramidions to keep an opponent in their gunsights, as well as other applications, but I'd caution OP against using those tools in a Spire. The Spire is so tall it's not an effective way to evade vertically, and if you use chute vent ... you are going to shatter like a glass knife on the ground. Buffing a balloon is, especially now, generally preferable to using those tools; I still carry them because I want other components buffed instead.
I don't know how they work with the Mobula and its quick climbs and descents, since I don't fly one.
