The 0.26.17 Selene Update - Discussion Thread

I stopped playing the game some months ago because twice I was intercepted at full speed and killed. I decided to stop playing because people who know how to code have an unfair advantage. 

 

I came back a few weeks ago and now I see a post that is encouraging people to learn Lua. I am very concerned that this game is moving in the wrong direction.  I do not agree with the expectation that for some one to be very successful in a game they have to use Lua code.

Hello.

Maybe the problem was different.

 

1). There was a bug that made big ships fly slower then 30k. Even thougt the speed meter showed 30k in reality they were going slower. I have no idea if they fixed that.

2). There still is a bug that makes the ship with thrust turned on flying faster then the ship that turned off the engines even if those two ships show the same 30k on their speed meter

3). You can get intercepted by warp jumping if you fly in a stright line from A to B but you can avoid that choosing a route around

 

I don't think that Lua knowledge is the enemy here. I think that your real enemy is the fact that whoever attacked you was part of a bigger organization with bigger resources. If you want to outsmart them you need to think a lot but you don't have to be a lua coder.

Do not fly in a straight line between planets, avoid flying in a pipe. Benefit from escort services for your ship. Any ship, even without a LUA with 8.5g+, will be able to destroy your ship in a pipe.  They just have to stand there and wait you.

You are entitled to your own opinion, as I am of mine. 

I am not a pvp type person and I thought being one SU off the pipe was safe. The person that took me out told me how I was killed in discord because he felt sorry for me the second time.
