semi-clever to make the least required role the default one. Muse should change this.

I've experienced a lot of new movement related bugs as well since the patch. Especially movement close to rails seems to be a gamble now.
Here are two videos showing how I get stuck/sucked into the rails at the goldies back engine and the rails at the side engines:

Christmas items
Workshop Items-Yay, workshop items! Thanks a lot Constiii, your mask rocks! - it looks way better on my pilot than the gunner-bee mask
-Ava's Demon, created by Neareida
-Henrick's Maske, created by Constiii
-Clockwork Ouroboros, created by Ushabti
-Duck of the Wind, created by Tanya Phenole
-Jolly Rodger, created by SassyKat
-Raven Skull, created by SassyKat
-Sacrilege, created by Mr. Lambert
-Wings of Icarus, created by MacBernick
I'm not sure whether the current solution to introduce clan-decals (rodger, scrilege, duck) is a good one though. The grant everyone access to everything policy might be a source for community-tension.
Also thanks for the bug fixes and all these little minor improvements!

Feedback and Suggestions / Competitive scene section on GoIOs website
« on: December 14, 2014, 06:56:27 am »
That section is horribly outdated (the most recent event featured there ended a year ago).
The competitive section on GoIOs website should be maintained properly, featuring all ongoing events at least. If that's not possible I think we'd be better of deleting it entirely. If I were new to the game and would see this this calendar 'featuring competitive activities' I'd assume GoIOs clanscene was dead. That impression is definitely worse (and more misleading) than no information on this topic at all.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Rename the beanbag-gun from Minotoar to Rhinoceros!
« on: December 13, 2014, 08:57:56 am »Rhinoceros is an english word that doesnt translate well with other languages, so as a name not familiar with most.Rhinoceros is a LATIN word origination from Ancient Greek ῥινόκερως (rhinókerōs), composed of ῥίς (rhís, “nose”) + κέρας (kéras, “horn”) (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rhinoceros)
Most adaptions of the word in other languages are very close to the latin version:
Rhinocéros (French)
Rhinozeross (German)
Rhinoceros (Spanish)
Rhinoceros (Portuguese)
Hornfish new meta.Yes, please!
On a side note: We lack Rhino-figureheads!

Feedback and Suggestions / Rename the beanbag-gun from Minotoar to Rhinoceros!
« on: December 13, 2014, 06:53:07 am »
So muse is working on a new impact-dmg based gun which will allow us to push our enemies around. While I like the weapon concept. I think the name Minotoar doesn't fit it at all and should be replaced with "Rhinoceros".
Lets have a look at the pros and cons of each name.
Pros and cons for nameing the gun "Minotoar":
Pros:
none
Cons:
- As Minotaurs are basically cows, everyone will think of the new gun as a milk-bottle distribution system. How misleading is that?
- Cows put aside, the only other thing that can be associated with Minotaurs are Labyrinths. Labyrinths are associated with "confinement" and "linear level design" which entirely contradicts "freedom of the skies"-atmosphere GoIO is advertised with.
- the name sounds silly
Pros and cons for nameing the gun "Rhinoceros":
Pros:
+ Rhinos are famous for their charge and rams. This fits a gun which fires "ramming-projectiles" to bounce enemy ships around perfectly
+ Unlike Minotaurs which rot in their filthy labyrinth, Rhinos are known to inhabit the skies. How much better does this fit into an airship game?
+ There have been numerous reports of Rhinos invading Airships Throughout the entire world of guns of Icarus. Hence the name would add to the games immersion.
+ The name sounds awesome.
Cons:
- none
That's a sum of 4 pros against a sum of 3 cons in favor of the "Rhinoceros". So based on this unbiased analysis we can conclude "Rhinoceros" is a vastly better fitting name for the new gun compared to "Minotoar". So I Hereby ask muse to change the name ASAP before the community make fun of the "milk-bottle-gun".
An interesting variation of the name might be "Rhinoroar", which would cause the name to be even more fear-inducing as it reminds the players of intimidating rhino battle-cries

Q&A / Re: General Piloting Tips
« on: December 12, 2014, 11:21:24 am »
Learn your gun arcs! Knowing at what angles and heights your weapons overlap is an essential basis for a good positioning and movement! This can be figured out in sandbox by letting the AI shoot at target dummies. Tip: try to find reference points on your ship which can be used to frame the area in which your guns overlap.

Hm, in Germany the 22nd and the 23rd are still regular work days. At least for me the weekend before Christmas is still business as usual and I could see a SCS fitting well into my schedule for the 21st.

I ban Replaceable because I feel like banning someone and Replaceable is replaceable.
