  1. If the person sent you a tell, in response to your recruitment message, you can hit backspace to reply to them, specifically, (assuming they are the last person to have sent you such a DM). Another, albeit mush more complicated option, would be to create a rotating bind using the 'Team Select' command - start with position 2, since you're the leader, have it then send that person a tell, and load in the next file in the bind, incrementing the position, (so 3-8, then back to 2 after 8).
  2. A potential attacker wouldn't care what direction it faces you upon exiting, though...
  3. It's weird that the portal exists solely to exit the base, yet points you in any direction other than the actual exit - why would Vanguard implement it so their personnel and allies, using said portal, could potentially be caught unaware and have to waste valuable time reorienting themselves?
  4. The sustain abilities alone would greatly aid in, well, allowing this proposed AT to stay in the fight.
  5. A few of my most recent Elec/Rad Tanker, "PowerKore":
  6. I find Jacob's Ladder and Chain Induction to be underwhelming, but the rest of the set is quite good, IMHO. Lightning Rod, in particular, does tremendous damage and the teleport is extremely useful. I would like to see chain induction's damage and chain-speed upped quite a bit, and Jacob's Ladder's animation sped up significantly, as well as having its arc widened.
  7. She's only here to help... Honest! "PowerKore":
  8. I think these turned out rather nicely:
  9. Here's a bunch of my most recent 50, an Elec/Elec/Mu Brute - "Live Wyre":
  10. My Elec/Elec/Mu Brute "Live Wyre":
  11. I'm not necessarily against the idea, and I think it could be implemented via some entirely new APPs. For instance, neither tankers nor brutes have an elec APP, (yes I know they can take Mu mastery, but it's a bit different). You could have something like a "neuro-electric stimulation" toggle that improves perception and recharge, or maybe a pistol based APP for melee ATs that has some sort of target designator power...
  12. "Automation" is contrasted with what? Doing things "by hand" or manually. Using the myriad of functions built in to most modern art programs... get this... "automates" many of those operations. As I've said over and over, it's the degree to which the automation is carried out that you seem to have a problem with. Don't move the goalposts. "Drawing" is not the end-all be-all of creativity. A program that can turn my words or designs created via other means, into a reality, are no less valid. The only difference here is that you have a personal stake in this particular method of someone being able to realize their designs potentially obsoleting your craft. I can respect that, but it doesn't invalidate the tool, nor does it justify your apparent disregard for how other tools have invalidated other people's crafts in the past. That may very well be true with the current generation of such AIs, but to say that humans don't learn by some process of breaking down the art and related methods/techniques/media into some digestible/reproduceable process is laughable.
  13. A person cannot propel themselves to the same speed as with the bicycle - they just provide the input and steering, similar to prompting an AI. And most artists cannot learn without "scraping" the methods and techniques of those that came before them. And just like early art programs were very rudimentary and took years to develop, such is the case with AI.
  14. You really don't know what automation is, do you? Go ahead and crop a physical photo, then undo it. Go paint something on a canvas then undo something you've painted a few minutes ago. An eraser literally ablates material off of the surface - it actually is destructive. It might be minimal, but it exists. As I already said - you have just accepted a certain level of automation, and find anything beyond that as distasteful. Some people are just not capable of certain types of art, so use various tools in order to achieve their ends. It is no different than using a long lever to lift or move something that you couldn't move otherwise. Do you complain when a computer program scans your registry for errors instead of having to go through it manually? Do you complain if an automatic transmission "robs" the driver of "developing" that perceived skill? Art programs literally "do the work for them" - again, it's just the degree to which it does so that you have a problem with...
  15. Clearly the "best" is from the BAF trial... (runs away screaming @Snarky did it!)
