Oh, no. It's the general sound of it. But that's just me. I'm glad the option's there for folks though.

And if we don't, you'll Ram? Ford that stream of thought cautiously? (Yes. I have always found "Dodge Ram" amusing. "Which do you want me to do? Make up your mind!")

Well. I've remade Rez Dispenser, just because, and since it's the season, School Spirits, as well. (Necro/Thermal.)

For player created souvenir clues - from AE missions.

I have a 'bots mastermind (Cyber Crystal) who needs more bots: Make it / Work it / Do it Makes us / Stronger Never Over

No mods do this, and IIRC it's one of those "more work than you'd think" items.

This. Which is why I play here and not there.

Thanks for the reminder. Just remade School Spirits.

Not really a "bug," but not sure where else to put this. In the character creation origin select screen, it still says you can "Start the game as one of the 10 basic archetypes." Which is no longer true, as you can start as a Kheld or VEAT, unless you're in Praetoria (which has its own button to pick anyway.)

I *believe* the power analyzer at P2W might show it. Otherwise it's a matter of looking it up. There are general rules, like robots will be psi resistant.

Seconding seeing the same error on method 2. (Late 2014 mac mini, 4gb RAM, Catalina 10.15.7)

Other than the previously mentioned "Firefox and Windows want to treat it like a virus," I'm going to say first impressions are good - though, as mentioned, I had to kill the install process and relaunch for it to create icons, but that's me. Everything else seemed to go fairly well. Minor suggestions submitted in suggestions.

Completely aesthetic and low priority: Theming/skinning and/or color choice (for those who, say, want to start in villainous red or Praetorian gold from the very first click.) Returning the color coding to the server status (right now, Excelsior is the only "medium" status server, but it's kind of hard to notice that it has two chevrons in that button instead of one.)

I was not surprised that Bill of Wights (necro MM) wasn't taken. >.>

Testing here, it works. But, I have all my binds in an external directory (c:\binds) and have since live, so they're not in the default directory. But relying on the defaults, I suppose that would break, given the file structure changes. Not sure what ISBoxer is, but I just fired up and ran both accounts at once - and can switch between them, still having control on both. What if you just use the client to launch both?

I'm just glad I could recreate Rez Dispenser, name and all.

1 and 5 seem to be the same thing, somewhat... though, there aren't Praetorian based SGs or bases, so... As far as 3 and 4? They're different animals. Having them behave differently "makes sense" to me, personally.

Seemed to install all right, other than not creating a shortcut until I ended the task and relaunched it. Nice little reorganization to the files, too. Edit: With this seeming to have portability as one of the goals... I know this isn't *tied* to the launcher, but somewhere in the stretch, is there any means of being aware of different resolutions and how they affect window placement? (I'm thinking of, say, someone having this on a USB drive and going between a home system and laptop. I know me jumping between my desktop - 2560x1440 - and either my mini or laptop (1920x1080) = "windows will be overlapping or really spaced out.") Obviously *not* a priority right now. Just a thought.

I don't think this pack's for me, but thanks for creating the option 🙂 (I'm addicted to my photon torpedoes. 🙂 )

The one problem with this stance is that we *do* have powers crossing over from other forms now. (Don't recall if that was a live or SCoRE change.) The T1 and T2 blasts are available in Nova and Dwarf (one each.) There is a disparity in offense for Dwarf forms, as it is - White dwarf gets three attacks, a heal and a taunt. Black dwarf's heal is also an attack, and its AOE is a buff (mire.) And, of course, if you take the appropriate human form attack, both finally have a single ranged blast, too. (THis isn't to say I necessarily agree with the OP's suggestion. I'm on the fence.)

Yeah, origin, AT, primary and secondary are baked so deeply into the code that, as I recall, it would not be an insignificant thing to make it changeable. (Heck, I'm guessing it's a carryover from the original design where origin would do things like define just how *many* powers you could take and update and such.)

... So many potential responses.

Yeah, as has been mentioned, people have been soloing/small-team-ing things for a long time, starting with (as I recall) Lusca vs an Illusion controller - on SOs. Took a while, but it was soloed. While there has definitely been power creep, especially at the top end (perma-everything, capped-everything, etc,) I wouldn't call the 8 person Hami a sign of the end times or anything. If it became a nightly thing PUGS could do? That'd be way too far.

Well, I had some editorial... comment... when it was first offered. I like the convenience, but.. well...
