Every mine is now a Nova Bomb.

Because balance.

I love it when people don't realize a mod has been around for more than four years and feel that they can just add something to those four years without any prior comprehension.

Loving the idea of only the prowlers having mines, currently it feels too safe with any and all of your worlds protected by mines almost from the start, if this change does occur then mine fields would need to be placed strategically possibly not just in your own territory, usually when I start a match I send a hanful of prowlers to scout the outlying systems and eventually they'll get picked off by whom'ever they run into and never need to build more after enough of the map has been uncovered, with the inclusion or upgrade to the sahara class the prowlers will be crucial for the majority of the game scouting ahead of your fleet laying traps just as they do in the lore. Not sure how the game mechanic would work though if it would be like how the starbase constructor is free to move to any grav well and deploy the starbase whereas in the prowlers case it could deploy either a single mine or perhaps a mine field.

Right now I'm wondering why 343I/MS hasn'nt closed the mod down, not about the game content just for the fact that our modders can apparently make a better Halo game than they ever could, you've set the bench mark high gentlemen, hope 343 dont crash trying to reach it

Well, having a "suggestions" section implies that said mod staff are open to hearing ideas from the community. If said ideas are presented in a respectful and thoughtful manner , i dont know why anyone would be opposed to seeing them posted; If the suggestion takes the form of " hey i saw this and i think it should be implemented" type of demand or whining then yea id imagine thats rather ignorant and offensive.

The reason that SPECTRE got banned was because he kept pushing us about something we told him was not going to be in the mod, not only was he extremely rude he accused us of shutting down his idea just because he was British. He just does not know when to stop trying to argue a point. That is something that he has to learn. This is not his mod, he is not a developer, he does not make the decisions. Now don't misunderstand me when I say that because we love to hear your input and we love to take your ideas and turn them into something that we can put into the mod. We have an idea for the Sahara class prowler. However, that ship is very likely to be the only ship that has a "cloak" ability. Now in sins every human player and AI will know that the ship is there, despite it being invisible. The ship is ignored by auto-attack because the ability makes the ship invulnerable. Also the icon is visible on both the empire tree and in the gravity well. "Cloaking" or stealth what every you may want to call it just does not work in sins. And the final and possibly single most important reason for why we would not add the ships that he insisted on is that the UNSC ship roster is about as full as we can make it. The whole reason we moved the Eion out of the UNSC fleet and bumped the Athens down was to ensure that every UNSC ship has a role in the fleet.

Uhh not really sure how to say this since I'm sure he's lurking but I'm pretty sure the British comment was aimed at me because I said England only made 2 good things ever. Of course I might be wrong, I don't know if you consulted with him/PMed him about it so. Just getting that out there.
dun ban me pls

[Mrbump]

@Crisiss i think you'r right, it kinda looks as if he was trying to avoid being banned if anything

also if he is suspended can he read this? and can he still get my messages?

If he logged out or went into private browsing I'm sure he can see messages. I think his account is inactive though. I dunno what host the site uses, wanna say wordpress.
Regardless of that he was banned for being.. well you know. Too assertive. He'll be back in like 4 days. Until then we talk major shit on Britain.
Anyways, off topic.

[Mrbump]

that first part makes no sense to me whatsoever i know nothing about technology i can barely use my laptop

i doubt he'll be in a good mood when he gets back on here

does anyone happen to know his email or something like that?

Talk to him on Steam if you want to talk to him?

[Mrbump]

Ahh, thats the thing, i don't have steam you see, it just won't work, i have to used boxed copies.

[Crisiss]

I thought you knew him in person?

[Mrbump]

i do, but unfortunatly im deployed 30000 km away from blighty

Uni changed the content of one message that really pissed a few devs off regarding the mod into an apology.

I'd imagine that'd be an issue. I dunno, how do you keep up with him otherwise..?

That explains it. I didn't read it until after he was banned so I was unaware.

[Mrbump]

@m468, i guess thats pretty reasonable then, but if i know him he really wasn't in the best of moods anyway, and given time he would have apologized 

@crisiss the army equivalent of skype.

I don't suppose anyone could do the two of a HUGe favour, im set to go on excersise for the next few days and i really can't contact him through the usual channels because the prat doesn't use facebook, could somebody please get him on steam and tell him to talk to my mrs? Thanks in advance if you do, you will be a legend in my eyes . And a warning beforehand i think he's in a good mood, but i don't think he'll have a go at you.
