    Can 't tell you how frustrated I also felt the many times before I discovered the Last Auto Saved option. Typing the whole post again <_<...a few times even again and again... <_< <_< Now it never lets me down. Just a matter of going to the same topic again, click on "reply to this topic", next L.A.S. and let the magic begin! ;)

    What's your favorite thing about space?

    Bounty plz (I should have said Mars because of the subject...)

    What's your favorite thing about space?

    True, it will lead to discussion...why start it? "It basically means that the universe began from nothing, which I don't find possible." Not less plausible than a God starting from nothing I think.

    Finally no more claustrophobia? Space is awesome! It contains at least one billion (1.000.000.000) Galaxies, one being the MilkyWay our own Galaxy. Our own Milky Way contains about 4 billion stars of various sizes and brightness. One of them our Sun. So are we alone in the Universe? One billion Galaxies X at least one billion stars per Galaxy = nope, we are not alone :)

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    Every battle is teaming teeming with Isida 's currently. Or is it just me? Wrong Map for Isidas though... :P

    Though I said otherwise, I "admit" that Hornet M2 will last to Gizmo: even a Hornet M0 will if given time... :P It 's for sure not the path I and most others would choose, a Hornet M3 can put up a much better fight than a Hornet M2. A case of logic in my view. Maybe Firebird M1 does a good job in gaining crystals, I really wouldn 't know because I never liked playing with it. Even got a M2 during a sale, while I knew I didn 't like it... The only thing I ve read on the forum about Firebird M1 is that it doesn 't last long. No idea if that 's true personally, being an utter Firebird nub. Though I do remember they were gradually disappearing during the WO ranks.

    Nice post and I agree with most point but: "ho, ho, ho easy...that line is a bit too much" ;) Hornet M2 is a nice hull, but definitely won 't last till Gizmo: you should only take that path if you really like to rank slow and suffer... No, when you become a Major General it 's about time to get that Hornet M3 believe me. With Smoky in mind a nice ranking order with Wasp and Hornet imo is: Wasp M0, Wasp M1, Hornet M2 and finally Hornet M3. Though Wasp M2 is an impressive hull, you can skip it, because Hornet M3 is "only" two ranks further. Secondly I would stick with Smoky M1 and rather micro-upgrade it, instead of choosing a Firebird M1. Though Firebird M1 is relatively cheap, there 's no better turret to build up those necessary basic skills imo than Smoky.

    Had ik ook dat gevoel, kwam ook door het optimisme dat hij uitstraalde over zijn ziekte. (hoogstwaarschijnlijk komt het weer door die klote sigaretten) Hoewel zelf geen enorme voetbalfan, Cruijff was een legende, al bij zijn leven. En hoe jammer het ook is, die man heeft wel een enorm interessant en boeiend leven gehad, waarin ie veel heeft betekent voor de sport en de mensen om hem heen. R.I.P. edit Mooi eerbetoon van FC Barcelona:

    Yeah I agree. I rather go with BP.

    Let's discuss Wasp!

    I don 't underestimate Thunder: but mounted on Wasp it is no match against a Smoky. So let the storm come! :D

    Let's Discuss Hornet!

    I have the same feeling about the hulls. Tanki has put to much emphasis on making especially heavy hulls popular. It is probably done because these are complete powerhouses on supplies. Which is good for Tanki 's economy: not so good for overall gameplay. In regular battles I play almost always Hornet, than Hunter and finally Viking. Viking is stable as a rock but it is slow: at least it feels slow. Hunter feels faster and has a nice handling. It 's not that stable though. Hornet may have suffered from the latest balances, but I 'm not giving up on this hull. With Hunter or Viking it 's easier to get high scores, but they both lack the engaging and really fast gameplay that you get from playing with a Hornet. If choosing a Hornet can mean a lower score: so be it. I play Hunter M2/Ricochet M2 on an alt. I do like it and it 's very effective, still with Hunter it is less fun than with a Hornet. If you are really going to switch I think that with Ricochet, Hunter is your best option.

    Let's discuss Wasp!

    With Wasp I think Hammer is better than Thunder, Wasp/Hammer is quite popular in high rank battles now. Very effective against fast close-rangers, and it 's three-shots clip shoots as fast as a Smoky which really helps, as is the high DPS. Suited for a "die a lot, kill a lot" kind of gameplay Thunder 's reload is too slow for Wasp imo and you also have to deal with the splash damage. (good Wasp turrets: all three close-rangers, Rail, Smoky and Hammer)

    Heeft te maken met internationale regels en wetten, maar het zou mooi zijn als die aangepast kunnen worden.

    Test you keyboard's ghosting!

    I also use USB, like most do. The 6 N-key rollover is already a bit of overkill indeed: when do you give 6 commands at the same time? Still it 's good to have it so you never experience ghosting. My previous keyboard was a pretty good Logitech (membrane) that I broke because with certain keycombo 's my turret wouldn 't react well, to "fix" this I slammed that key all the time, till one day the turret responded even worse...broke that key. No, I don 't know anyone else that uses it, but the reviews are very good which counts more. My favourite colour is brown. Brown MX keys are nicely positioned between the red and blue keys. edit: another advantage of a good gaming keyboard is that you can make profiles. In a profile (my keyboard can make 5 profiles) you can change keys to have another function and use that during a game. I 've just changed the ?/ key on my keyboard into 5, so now in theory it 's much easier to drop a mine. (turret keys < and > and next to them now it 's another 5) Much better than the hard to reach 5 from out of the WASD keys. But wow the effect of changing just one single key: you already really need some serious brain-rewiring time...

    Die gasten wonen wel in België, maar leven in geradicaliseerde mini-staatjes waar zij de dienst uitmaken. Als zowat je hele omgeving radicaal is, is het ook niet zo vreemd dat jongeren die daar opgroeien dat ook worden. Dat van die opstand verbaasd me dan ook helemaal niet, treurig genoeg. Hoe heeft de politiek het zover kunnen laten komen, of is er gewoon niets aan dat radicaliseren te doen? Nu is het te laat voor een grote groep van die jongeren, die zijn niet meer te bereiken en daar kunnen we inderdaad helaas nog een hoop ellende van verwachten.

    M4 Domination: Hammer Vs Smoky

    It 's Thunders arch enemy...and you fight with Thunder M2 at General...well...

    Test you keyboard's ghosting!

    Seems like a very nice keyboard, enjoy! Your keyboard has True N-key rollover, which means that on a green/purple PS/2 port (old but still the best port because it 's dedicated) every simultaneously keystroke is recognized (simply put: zero ghosting). On USB it will have at least 6 N-key rollover which also means that in reality that you will never experience keyboard ghosting, because it will register 6 simultaneous keystrokes. Always look for this N-key rollover/ anti-ghosting on a keyboard!

    What to buy? Which is better?

    DPS of Firebird is huge, but it also depends on the size of the Map. I use Smoky (Hornet) only in large to medium Maps. Especially in large Maps Firebirds are not much of a concern.

    A guide to Vulcan

    Not at all. Most OP and unbalanced turret at the moment at M3/M4. You think it 's balanced: because you own one and also play with it? Like those profiles, they explain a lot... -_- In DM you have a good chance against Vulcan if your not disturbed in attacking it. In other modes when it 's supported by a team/Isidas: it just goes on and on.
