Yeah, something like that. And as you ask, I assume you didn't get my message, and that the AOL mail server is down again
------------------ I have a plan so ingenius even an idiot could have devised it. On my command, we will line up our ships and fly straight into the enemy death-cannons clogging them with wreckage.
Ok then
I'm sorry Slug
I will make the heavy destroyers equal in one way or another, but the weapons will be different but they will have the same damage quota when fired at the same time and the shielding will be tougher. After all, this plug is set 40 years after the end of Ares, so the races will have made advances in shield technology. Also, some of the new weapons (eg Power Pulse+Deluxe which fires at a rating of 2/20) will tear a 2000 shield destroyer to bits. So the shielding will be increased but not dramatically (One will have 5000 cause its weapon is so powerful, but it has a tediously slow turn rate so faster ships would kill it if it had 2000 health) to around 3000.
Thats my reasoning so I hope you understand

Honestly, Slug, why was Hera created and released? It's so people can make Ares the way that they like it. It is so they can customize it. It is so they can make different scenarios. It is so they can show people what they think a game should be. There is no type of standard to somebody's taste or opinion, and as previous people have said, a plug should only be rejected because of poor quality or offensive material. Any plug that is not of poor quality or overly buggy should be allowed to be put on the downloads page. Remember, one man's junk is another man's treasure. Just a little thing to think about.
P.S. Not trying to insult you Slug, just getting my opinion out.

Sure. I'll release any plug that is good quality, not offensive, and bug-free. The reason I establish a strict set of rules and a few standards is so the plugin will be better and people will like it more. I have worked with plugin creators on several projects that were huge successes. You're free to make a plugin howeveer you want it, but my suggestions are merely a few minor details of how people prefer their plugins.
Take Alpha-to-Omega. That thing was both offensive and had more bugs in it than a rotting corpse. My rules were not in place then, and many people were offended. Eminem was treated as a Pariah, and I immediately recieved nine complaints/requests to remove it.
If you don't want me, then fine. Tell me and I'll just sit back and let this turn into another EV-Community clone. Sorry if I seem tyrannical, strict, oppressive and mean. Give me one email where someone points this out and I will resign.

I didn't intend anything like that. I was merely stating that opinions can not be rated.

NO! Don't go away, you just died! LOL!

Heh, isn't that on a rotting corpse? And who's corpse...
Well, now that I've played it I can post my opinion.
Zell, I played with Darkk and even though it was uneven, we sure had a heck of a lot of fun with the obish ships. I think that would be a good sign of a decent plug, if people actually enjoy the plug.

Slug has left once before. I have no doubt he'll do it again if he's unduly harrassed.
This thread could do that. I thought it was over a month ago.
I think it is over now.
