WO Omega Collection - Random questions that do not need their own thread.

[Snakenator1]

Since HD/Fury and 2048 had these threads I thought its logical to have one for omega collection. This thread is for asking questions that can be easily answered without the need to post an entirely new thread about it.
For example if the question can be answered with a single post and there is no real discussion that can be developed from it, it belongs here.

So I'll kick us off by asking how come sometimes the exhaust trails change colour in some HD races? Sometimes fury ships have the blue exhaust trail while HD ships have red trails (and vice versa). Any ideas that can quench my curiosity?

probably a glitch

the zone ship in hd/fury vita version had the same glitch

not sure about other ships on vita version, its such a terrible version that i forgot 99% of it

This seems to be a bug with the trails at the moment (at least, its been posted in the Glitches thread repeatedly ).

Asking a question of my own, I'm currently writing a redux of the WipEout timeline, but I don't really know where to post it here on WipeoutZone. Should I post it in the Omega section, or the WipEout fanfiction section?

Also sorry if i'm asking in the wrong place.

[Snakenator1]

That would belong in the FanFiction section since it is related to the lore of the series

Cheers for the quick reply

Alright I've got one.

Anyone notice when playing 2048 online, some name tags appear orange while others stay white? Anyone know why this is?

@Fraki,

Ive wondered that a lot whilst playing the online of 2048 on vita.
It seemed that whenever you had a challenge like "hit a specific player with a weapon", then this specific player's name would turn orange. However it was very buggy and sometimes there were orange names at random.

I havent played a lot of online 2048 in the omega collection and cant recall if there are any orange names as well.

[Racingfan]

i think its random now, but i turn off the player id's because its too distracting

What is the best route for the last split on sol? If you take the skill cut, you get some speed pads then a roll. If you hop off the skill cut and onto the other route, you get no speed pads but two rolls. Which one is better?

[KazzyMac]

On a whim I'd guess taking the boost pads is better because there's a row of 4 (and that's a pretty substantial boost), and if it's not actually faster it's probably temporarily safer since you're saving 15% of your shield per lap (useful in a chaotic/aggressive race I guess) and momentarily out of any real immediate line-of-fire.


I've always tried to take the cut, but if you *really* want to find out which is faster then try some speed laps and see what gets you the better lap time.
