Random HD Questions that don't need a thread of their own.

[FirstDave]

Hi all.I,m sure the answer is already here somewhere but i cant find it.Why does my craft sometimes have a blue glowing ball at the front even when it is not armed.

Dave.

[SaturnReturn]

That sounds like a leech beam that has failed to cancel properly, so it just stays there on the nose of your ship. It's annoying isn't it?

[FirstDave]

Yes it is and now you say that i have had a few times when i have locked on leech and fired and nothing.Doesnt even fire and then disconnect.I will make a point of noticing if they are happening in tandem.Thanks

Dave.

[Colonel]

I know that happens when somebody is already leeching you, or if the person you are attempting to leech is doing likewise to somebody else. Don't know if there are other circumstances when it regularly happens.

[zero3growlithe]

The only circumstance i know is: Whenever it's possible, lech beam will leave you with glowing ball

[FirstDave]

Thanks to all who answered my question .Here,s another. I,m at a point where i have all the skins except all the top ones.What are these skins and what should i be doing to get them.

Dave.

[zero3growlithe]

Those are addicional fury ships skins.
Get medal in every cell in fury campign.... ...

[FirstDave]

Thanks for that i cannot believe how close i am then. i,m one detonater from completion of fury and i just cannot seem to get a medal, any medal even on novice and i have redone most of the cells on skilled and got gold on them but this one cell is really doing me

Have you guys been able to reproduce a half-bug thing i'm having with Zone-Battle?

I go into to photo mode, I don't have to take a photo though, and when I come out the camera angle switches to a slighty odd postition, looks odd but it's sure better than the default "Orbital" spectator mode you end out with .

[zero3growlithe]

Whoa... i didn't even know that such bug exist

Ok, so my question is... where are the records in WOHD?!?!? I saw that many people have a problem with accesing them :/ Somebody know what is wrong?

[icarasDragon]

@zero3growlithe
Yeah, I've been noticing just not being able to connect to the Records Server after Online Races or Offline Races or whatever.

Maybe they are resetting them to get rid of old glitched records from older patch revisions before Fury since everybody who want's it is going to have the Expansion after the Welcome Back programme.

[FirstDave]

Hi all just a little thing ive been meaning to ask is when you look at a fury ships performance bars when selecting one they have a little red bit on the end of the bar and the other skins dont show it.So can someone tell me what it means.Also is there any difference between fury ships and the other ships other than design.

Dave.

[Colonel]

The main difference is the performance increases indicated by those red bars. They're the added stats that the Fury ships have over the original HD ships. There are also some differences in handling characteristics etc, some ships more than others. Have a play with the HD versions and you'll get a feel for the differences.

[FirstDave]

Right i see Adam.That explains why a lot players seem to choose fury ships but i will try the different ones but will most likely stick to fury as i definatley need the little extra they have how ever little it is.

Dave.

[Cipher]

also have a question, is it better to absorb the leeching weapon or should you use it, is there a difference between how much shield is recharged?

Cipher

[JFthebestJan]

leach beam has a great effect on enemies, cause it slows them down, it's like a lasso. if u need the energy, absorb it, u'll get 1 energy point more

[Cipher]

Ah k, thx

[SaturnReturn]

It used to slow people down, but it hasn't done that in a long time now. Not unless it's changed again recently. I feel it's more or less useless these days and it's buggy too.

trying to get zone zeus and airbraker trophies today -can anyone tell me the best tracks to achieve these on ?

just got "own the zone" on syncopia

i dont do a lot of zone mode

cheers

[Colonel]

I'd stick with Syncopia for both of them Subtotal. You could try them on any of the other Zone tracks, or Anulpha Pass, but Syncopia is by far the easiest.
