Qs from non owners ..

[zargz]

You don't own Pure?
And you have a question about it for a wipEr who does own it?
Ask here!

I got two questions to begin with:

1. Is there a cockpit view?

2. Are there any Replays?

[aesop]

There's no cockpit view and there's no replays.

[zargz]

Okay. Another Q:

When playing a SR/Tournament ( League? ) how are the points divided at the end of a race in the top 8 (coz I gather there are a max of 8competitors? > a Q within a Q!!! 8O )?

1st gets 10, 2nd 8 ... or ??!

[Hellfire_WZ]

8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. That two point gap between the top two spots can be pretty annoying if you have one bad race.

[zargz]

heh! Even meaner than the originals 9,7,5,4,3,2,1,0!
I like that - a Lot!

Since I won't be owning Pure for a long, long time from now - I'll be back with more Qs!
Any other non owner - ask away here!

After seeing the ship stats a while back I want to know, does the Assegai handle like the WO 3 Auricom?

[Dimension]

The physics of the game is very different, the handling feels very different without bounce and pitch. The Assegai doesn't steer all that well really, the AG5y5 seems most like how it used to handle and that's simply because it's one of just a few ships that steer fairly well :wink: It doesn't exactly feel like an auricom though (the new Assegai I mean)

[eLhabib]

doesn't steer that well?! the assegai is precise like a scalpel when it comes to cutting corners!

[zargz]

I read something about respawning. Does that mean there's no wusswagon?

[Sausehuhn]

Do you get points for eliminations or perfect laps in a league?

[eLhabib]

no, and no.

[Lion]

I read something about respawning. Does that mean there's no wusswagon?

you teleport back a bit when you leave the track (in some cases most of the length of a straight) there is no wuss wagon.
the same happens after a bit of a delay if you manage to land on your roof. if this happens you generally wind up back in 8th

I agree to eLhabib: after trying all ships I decided to use assegai only: it steers precisely, it's fast enough and most important: it accelerates fine. I started to love it.

So I play two different games now: one using assegai and one using zone.

[Dimension]

No way, I never thought the Assegai's steering was all that. Then again i only used it once :wink:

[eLhabib]

give it a try, it's like switching from normal alpine skiing to carving :wink:

[Rapier Racer]

You can just see the conversionist at work here cant you

[eLhabib]

:wink:

Can the Bomb be shot at? >> thus destroyed?

[Animagic]

yes you can destroy the bomb
I usually use rockets to blow it up before I hit it (if I'm so fortunate to have picked up rockets at the time)

I learned I could prematurely destroy the bomb by watching the AI do it.
How cool is that?!?!

I have yet to discover if you can launch a projectile to fool a homing missile like you could in the first wipeout... can anyone confirm if this can be done?

[Lion]

Can the Bomb be shot at? >> thus destroyed?

this has already been answered but there's more to it... there is still a proper blast radius no matter how it's set off., so if you are too close it's possible to take damage even though you blew it up with something other than your ship. the best solution is to avoid it entirely. shield is also good, though it doesn't last long.
