the best team on pure

[JABBERJAW]

there is no weight in the game for the ships, colin berry I believe said this. Can anyone verify this

[eLhabib]

he did say that, yes. however, there IS something LIKE weight in the game, seeing as my feeble Assegai slows down drastically if I only release the gas pedal ever so slightly, but the heavy Triakis keeps on going for MUCH longer and reduces speed only slowly. Also with weapon hits you can see that clearly - a rocket can ruin my day completely in an Assegai, but a Triakis will shrug it off with almost no speed loss, as long as he doesn't slide into a wall. And let me tell you, in a race with 3 Triakis (Arnaud, Stin, Sleh) you get bullied around A LOT if you don't manage to break away right at the start in an Assegai!

as for Lunar's idea - it's never gonna happen, bro, but boy would I love an upgraded Assegai

<troll> so essentially what lunar is saying, is that 0llie was right after all </troll>

Yes And dreaming of a new rival to Triakis.

For what it's worth, when I picked up pure again just the other day, I switched to Auricom and it's working for me ATM, couldn't hack the Triakis, got sick of being pwned in the AG-5Y5 & even with pure's mind numbingly tedious acceleration, I find it (Auricom) to be almost pretty good. /me is a gob

Yes And dreaming of a new rival to Triakis.

Triakis is the supership and a new real rival for it, should be good for all of us.
It reminds me something : The Fish theory
a new ship has been released on 2097 : Piranha the supership ( no contest on that : except for talon's reach venom TT with the bullet brick / thx to Ben / )and it was a fish.
Now on pure at the start many people thought the best ship was zone due to his speed hability, but we prooved it wasn't this one due to low shield and light weight. It's triakis, imo and this a new team and a fish too( also called leopard shark).

(also called leopard shark).

the official ship of Steve Zissou!

[eLhabib]

well ACTUALLY, the triakis logo is supposed to be a BOMB, not a fish...

[Lion]

I tried pointing that out once before and just got looked at funny
it's easy to see in that animated image where there's about 4 layers of them falling

@ Leon : i haven't seen yet this film with Bill murray aka steve zissou.
Triakis should be the ship for a futuristic captain nemo ( 20000 feet above the see and not 20000 Leagues Under the Sea )

@ Martin : yeah Triakis is da-BOMB baby
