    I agree with Yeldar, let's be friends.

    I don't know you guys, but I've read all the thread, and it's obvious that obh didn't want to insult anyone and didn't know that rule. He did a mistake: brummpahh, forgive him if you can and just be friends in real life and bastards on tracks

    back on topic

    First of all, i dont think there has been a change in the amount of turbos you get since fury. but from experience i do think that there are tracks that give you more turbos. extreme example beeing metropia fwd. getting way more turbos on that track then any other.

    i think

    With regards to Brmmphahh's theory.

    If no handicap system exists that rewards the better player as every player has already stated, why is it then that I can overtake for example slimjim2097 on a straight, in a slower ship without using any pads, Turbos's or sideshift yet I get overtaken myself by DarksiedMD whilst on a straight under the exact same racing conditions.

    I have also experienced situations where I have shot missiles at skilled player's only for them to take no effect. When asking the players how they managed to not be slowed down they replied that they used a turbo or a auto pilot. This I know was not true as I can see what weapons they were using during the race by looking at the right hand side of the screen.

    These are just examples of what I have experienced online many times.

    Can anyone shed some light on this matter.

    Disruptor

    It's not just skilled players that when shot with missiles have no or little effect.

    If you do get shot but have a weapon available, the quicker you absorb that weapon the less effect the one you got hit with will have regarding speed loss.
    Your shield loss will still be just about as high though regardless of distance.

    It's highly dependent on how close you were to the craft that fired on you as to how much speed you will lose.

    Also the fact that Missiles and Rockets for that matter [plural] do not all always hit the one player,you might only partially hit them

    Alright, I'm putting to rest the quake theory. Recently I had a quake in an Eliminator and tried to use it forward. It did not let me. Less than a second later I heard the "quake" warning, turned around, and tried to use it behind. It still would not let me. Only until I watched the quake pass me and finish completely did it allow me to use mine.

    This was after the 2.1 update, though, so perhaps it was adjusted? Regardless, it can no longer be claimed that only one person at a time can have a quake, but it can be said that only one quake can be in effect, at least in a particular area on an Eliminator.

    Absolutely. Private messages are PRIVATE. It is one of the foundations of internet etiquette and general human responsibility to other humans and to a person's own honour to keep private communications private. It is good to see that an apology was made.

    It wasn't just for you, it was a public message to all in an attempt to prevent any such thing from being done again by anyone whatsoever.
