Those detoggle you, don't they? Like the rocket board. Making their use in missions dicey

You get that the legal system in the US is biased towards those with the most money and most expensive lawyers, right?

You have to keep jetpacks since there are missions that require flight, and not everyone should have to be a flyer. The OP wanted a magic source of flight instead. So maybe some other device rather than a jetpack.

I like that teleport solution

The falling was the plan, yeah I guess you could put a jetpack on if you want to regain TP's use as a long distance travel power. I just want to use it as a Telenuke without the nuke.

TP would be great if you could put an IO in it that got rid of that dumb hover hang time Then you could do the whole Nightcrawler thing with binds.

On my Street Justice I usually jump into a group and open with Spinning Strike. I get a lot of crits .. but realistically if stuff is dead, its dead so if procced out Savage Leap does enough damage, what is the difference if you critted or not?

You have a point on the fact we may be way past Point Nowhere.

Yeah I'm even opposed to being able to skip punch or kick for fighting. Tough and Weave are really powerful. Especially on builds where you have no access to resist set slots for those def ios. Pools are fine now, but if they wanted to add more pools or another power in each pool that was not more powerful than other pools, maybe. But just making it easier to effectively get more pool powers in your build seems like pure power creep.

I like to use my pools to round out my build. My most recent build has Combat Jumping, Tough, Weave and Stealth But that is on me - I'm fine with the trade off. Like losing 1.9 mph of flight speed =p

You could use the Storm Kick from the blaster Martial Combat that's faster and a great animation. Or you could use Thunder Kick, that's a lot faster.

I just actually built a character with Flight last night - something I never do 58.6 mph (Capped Blue - double checked this is the cap) I respeced again because I hated not having combat jumping. Back to Jetpack 56.7 mph 1.9 mph difference Its annoying when its red and white, and not black and purple like my costume, but hey I'm a stalker anyhow can only sort of see it.

Im so old I didn't need a link >.<

I don't see the problem with power leveling or charging for it either. Definitely not in COH. The game is free. There is no competitive end game grind There is almost no pvp really. There is no real inflation in the In world economy. If the game had some sort of land control in-world and the powerleveling actually hindered other players? Or runaway inflation leading to hindrances. At that point I could see an objection. Maybe people so hard line on the idea come from some MMO like that and never adjusted.

I'd like the opposite. Being able to customize flight with a jetpack that I can make match my costume. Or a customizable temp pack, etc. Not like the surfboard though, i don't want to retoggle all my stuff all the time.

COH is pretty good on the endless endgame front, since you can play with anyone of any level. Endless advancement? Not so much. But at least you can still play.

Ill add that I'm the one that liked Discovery. And Science Fiction stories are traditionally very derivative of earlier works. Herbert tried to sue Star Wars over borrowing ideas from Dune. Lucas tried to sue BSG over borrowing ideas frome Star Wars .. etc. Those didn't go anywhere. But there's derivative and then there is blatantly copying ideas. I'm trying to understand why the ss couple looks the same. Why the blue field around one of the crew looks the same, etc. Id love to see the STD concept story boards of certain things like the spore drive.

After running a Dr Q this Sat I noticed a stark contrast between the 3 groups. Rularu are tough. I died more to these than I had in my last 3 characters 1-50 combined. Nemesis can be tough if their vengeance hits right. Lot of the team died to these. Crey are pushovers. We could all solo these groups like we had god mode on. Rularu are probably tougher than most people want to play against. But you could get some of that Nemesis like toughness by just adding leadership powers to some boss mobs in various groups.

Seems like awfully big coincidences there. Some of the games imagery could double as concept art for the show. The Plagiarism article I linked showed how it would be extremely hard to prove legal plagiarism in the case, before it was dismissed. Citing the fact that Big Media Corporation can beat little guy in court doesn't really prove anything. Even if lawyers were equal, it still would only prove a legal definition was not reached. Instead I would like to see something that explains why those images and story ideas are so similar by chance. And why the games ideas seem to predate the shows ideas.

Yeah I just got done with a couple of articles on this .. WOW. It was a good show idea .. that someone else had. Sure looks like it was stolen wholesale. https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2018/09/11/understanding-the-star-trek-discovery-plagiarism-allegations/ That's a shame since the accidental war due to the failed communication/hubris leading to a redemption quest could have worked without that stuff. I guess some of those Producers/Authors really didn't have any Science Fiction ideas on their own.

I wasn't aware of this. Plagarized from where?

Hmmm. Yeah I thought that was a bit too silly. When its trying to be more serious its okay. Of course you don't have to pay to watch it. By Flavor of Trek you mean the whole Explore and Seek out Peace, etc. I imagine.

I think Voyager is mostly liked. It also ran concurrently with DS9 for a couple seasons, I think? And yeah - I think many people compare Enterprise and Discovery with the later seasons of TNG. Which is unfair. Its not like the team stayed together. TNG grew into an awesome show. Of course I think the first season of The Expanse and Firefly were better than any those.

We had all grown up on TOS reruns, which ran every weekday on 1 of our 5 channels. Then the 3 Star Wars movies. Plus was the mini boom - boomer's kids all the right age for TNG to come out. Everyone was ready for a new Trek. And I think there was still just 5 channels for most people when it did. So it had time and patience to outgrow the early season stuff, I think. I watched the first season again recently and I don't see how people think that season is any better than the other editions like Enterprise or Discovery. TOS by contrast is different. The 2nd Pilot is actually more in line with Science Fiction novels/movies at the time than the later episodes. Especially before the whole Monster of the Week part started. The opening scenes are some of my favorites.

Its kind of sad really. People say Science Fiction shows are bad. But its like the Show Makers go out of their way to handicap them. If you are going to use an existing Franchise, Hire a few (open minded) people who know it well to help you.
