I love them! They're really cool, just what this game needs as a RP feature.

Gameplay / Re: Engagement length
« on: June 15, 2013, 04:14:09 am »
I think the main problem is that people don't dare to use other strategies. Everyone just wants to rush in, shoot until the enemy dies and keep on doing that until they win. That's not how you should play this game. Just my opinion.
Depending on the map there are so many other choices! Do a far range Galleon with Lumberjacks or a Spire with a heavy flak and merc. Or go into CQC with a flamer-carronade squid on those thight cloudy maps. But to win with them you need to know some different tactics except for rushing to the enemy and shooting. To learn them you just have to try! Don't see your losses as "Oh my god I'm so bad", try to enjoy them so you can learn from them. Reflect why you lost! There are many possibilities to win against two gat/flak pyras. Don't just blame them!
Also speak with your co-captain. Don't just join match and instantly press ready. That's why this button is called "ready" - you press it as soon as you're good to go, which implements talking about your tactics. I've seen so many people lately yelling "ready! ready!" and then leaving the game because they see they're losing. That's a pity because I'm sure they could do better if they just took their time.
But that might be a fault of the modern gaming industry too, only focusing on quick one man armies in games.

Well...I'm really digging that idea. Good one!
Maybe though the matches need to be private with a password, so not-participating players couldnt join, which would probably destroy the idea of an "RP-match".
Keep up the ideas!

well that could be fixed by putting the number in game as well. however, what is really stopping those people from doing that right now anyway?
Mainly they don't wanna be known as trolls globally. Those who already do...well, yeah nothing to explain here.

Wir sollten eine empirische Studie dieses Phänomens durchführen. Ich hoffe die Rechte an der Veröffentlichung (und natürlich mit einhergehendem Doktortitel) gehen an mich?
Aber mal ernsthaft:
Schön zu hören! Hoffen wir dass es so bleibt

« on: June 12, 2013, 10:26:26 am »Selectable titles would not prevent me from just selecting the highest one. But it might introduce more 'puff titles' like Pirate or such ambiguity that sounds cool-ish but is not some kind of advancement. I dislike random or custom titles or titles that seem to break the progression. I don't want to see CoD-like titlespam.
That's exactly my point of view. The ones we got just could be rewritten if most people don't like them, but this may lead to chaos.
Also one point I could think about is high level players changing it to level one titles, joining a running game so they may be seen as beginners, and running around trolling/just doin achievements, leaving before the game is won/lost.
This is personal. Some real talk coming at you here.
I see level as my rank. It's a measure of how well I can follow "orders" (achievements) from my superiors (the devs).
Basically, unless I get demoted, my rank will never go down. I am my rank. I will always choose the highest one.
Well I don't quite think like that. If your rank would show the ratio of lost and won games, yes, agreed. But I don't think it's a measurement of how well you can follow orders - just because many people don't listen to their captains and bring other stuff to advance in ranks for example, which is the complete opposite of what was just written.

Q&A / Re: Other Options other than the tried and tested Gat/Flak
« on: June 12, 2013, 10:20:56 am »
I now have pretty often seen a Gat/Flamer/Artemis Junker. I dont know about that one, you need a special way of approaching (other than gat/flak) which may be hard for new players. Furthermore you need a good co-captain to win with this setup. Also it highly depends on your enemies.
I figured out a way to use a Galleon effectively, been using it since... a long time. You need to know the basics of how to pilot a Galleon though (move as less as possible, stay at one position, only turn your sides with the enemy).
It contains 2 far range guns on the left side as well as a mercury and 2 CQC guns on the right side. Rear gun is a carronade.
That way you can shoot them from fair away and if they get close - simply turn your right side. If they get behind you and you cant aim for them (although using claw/kerosene) just shoot them down with the carronade, gives you time to repair and reposition.
I don't know about the all banshee squid... you don't have piercing guns on there and the banshee doesnt do that much damage.

Uh...hey folks.
So I guess I'm a new CA. Well...what can I say? You may call me Rainer (just a little bit shorter), I'm from Germany as the name may suggest and I love to show new players how to enjoy the game. Been playing this game since quite a while now and then decided lately that maybe I should apply as a CA, since I really like to help people. Well...yeah, that's probably about it. If you got anything else you wanna know about me just go ahead and ask!
Now to the pledge:
I KaLeu RainerZuFall, before the presence of the Holy Whale of the skies, do hereby declare my unwavering faith, fealty and service to the community of Icarus.
I pledge to follow the orders of all Muse staff appointed over me, and field all the questions, great and small, difficult or annoying, addressed to me be they by the person, or the mob.
I will keep myself somewhat mentally stable, usually mostly sober, and always available as is necessitated by the Community Ambassador agreements and forms to which I have pledged my unconditional adherence.
So say we all. (Do we?)

There already have been many ideas like yours, take a look around the forum. There you're gonna find the answers that it might not be coming soon since they're currently working on kickstarter and there might be a massive work on balance issues.
Although I too like the idea of "2-crew ships" for example (one ships with 2 crews instead of two ships with one crew each).

Ich benutze sie ganz gern bei Patienten mit infektionsbedingter Übelkeit bzw krankheitsbedingter Übelkeit. Wirken super und haben ne leicht einschläfernde Wirkung, besser geht's nich für die Patienten. Im Gegensatz zum bekannten MCP können sie bei z.B. Kleinkindern auch keine (harmlosen) Bewegsstörungen verursachen. (Ich selbst nehm aber MCP wenn mir übel ist, da diese weniger einschläfernd wirken, wenn man z.B. weiterhin arbeiten oder Auto fahren möchte.)

Ich kenn nur Vomex, das ist ein Antiemetikum (Medikament gegen Übelkeit) für die i.v. Gabe. Aber gut zu wissen, dass es das auch als Reisetablette gibt. Kenne nur Reisetabletten die "Reisetablette" heißen...Was irgendwie nicht so seriös klingt wenn ich genau drüber nachdenke...
