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

Whats the best average craft? Besides Mirage.

[ion harvest]

Ag-Systems, Feisar, Qirex, Assegai.

Ag-systems got a good thrust.

Feisar got handling down.

Qirex is well rounded but i dont use it much.

Assegai is amazing in many ways. But a great all rounder.

Mirage is again great all rounder and it loves to BR.

just my opinion

[The Black]

My 2 cents.

Harimau: great handling and stability, just don't ram into something (or someone)
Qirex also handles pretty well and it has a good shield.

The only problem with those two is the thrust, which I think was sorted out in the fury upgrade, but I'm not really sure.

Ag-S is great, the only problem is that when I use it i get the impression that I'm trying to steer a little moon... May be a personal problem though, because I actually prefer Icaras' handling and that doesn't make much sense.

Another great all-arounder is Assegai Fury... the HD ship has something in the handling that doesn't really convince me.. may be the center of gravity.

In any case experiment with ALL ships and don't just look at the four stats displayed: there's much more to discover driving... and experimenting you'll surely find the one best suited for you.

Here's a random question, in what year is WOHD set? I've done a cursory search but can't seem to find out.

the answer is within the game, on a few tracks.
there's a billboard on this particular tracks.
i've added some examples

[Jav]

Nice find!

[UB3R~JKP]

Nicely done JF!

[lorezstar]

ok something i have never figured out. What is the small wipeout logo with the F and what does it mean? it is seen on online multiplayer while we wait for the host to pick the track etc. It's directly to the right of the ship that each user has chosen. I used to think it meant that racer had the Fury expansion but I noticed sometimes I have the logo and other times not.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

It means the ship being used is the Fury Variant/Version.
And as to year,JF's not the only one.
Amphi-Scenic Hologram Exhibit A
Entering the Hologram
(The above pics are quite similar to JF's,so there is practically nothing(new) to see here)
Seems like HD Fury takes place over a span of at least two years...

BTW, does the tournament race time count as online record? Cause I made 1:52:67 (Rapier) on Moa Therma and I would like to see the best times.

[trackripper]

Ok so I go to my records today and find a time of around 1:12:xx on Modesto Heights FWD Phantom... with 0 speed pads. WUT WUT?

[JFthebestJan]

@trackripper:
u can ignore all records with 0 speedpads, all of those re obviously bugged. and a lot of the multiplayer race venom times re bugged too, somehow it has something to do with online zone battle mode (just my guess)

[Colonel]

BTW, does the tournament race time count as online record?

I've wondered that in the past, because some of my quickest times have been during tournaments. Never checked though, has anybody else?

controller sensitivity;

less % = more sensitive? i always thought that 100% = max sensitivity, but now i watched some strategy guides and they say the contrary? o_O so 10% airbreak= most effect?

Timing-wise, when do I normally use the airbrakes?

Usually I do it when entering a curve, usually letting go to side shift just after the apex, but I've heard most players who do use them will just hold them until they are clear of the corner. Which way is right, most of the time?

Greetz Cipher

Yes.

[Cipher]

Thx for the reply i'll have to change it then, cuz i always wondered why those air breaks didn't work that well xD

For awhile, everyone was running time trials in Icaras crafts. Since, I've seen records made with Feisar and Harimau, and now AG-Systems is popping up all over the place! Aside from personal preference, is there an advantage to using one craft over another?

I suspect it deals with what track you're racing. On Sol 2 or Anulpha, you'd obviously benefit from Icaras' speed, but on a track with tighter corners I imagine there'd be struggling (for me, flying Icaras feels like I'm struggling against the craft's inertia). Does anyone feel more comfortable with specific crafts on specific tracks, or do you use one craft for all tracks?

[zero3growlithe]

My AG-Sys is universal like TV-Remote... about those poping-up ships u mean those on leaderboards? If yes then let me say: don't look at it as it shows totally different ships than specific racer did used (they even don't work now).

btw. Does anybody know who the hell is that robocop called Quiesc3nce? Damn fast guy got 2nd place on Sol2 rev on phantom online and have rank 32 and don't know shortcut "WR" and has british flag...

[Cipher]

@archon i use 1 everywhere which is Harimau, only use the others in zone to up loyalty or in detonator ^^

had to use a different craft 3 times cuz i didn't get the gold medal on elite in the campaign

I noticed people switching crafts during the HD Cup. Might have to do with weapons being on or off. Harimau and Icaras have low health, after all.

I use Harimau and have since my second day with the game, but found I like non-Fury Feisar for venom and flash races. Anything faster and I go Harimau.
