Well I've said my bit and I think I'll leave it at that.  I've laid out my arguments but they seem to have been in vain as they haven't been understood or the bar set is just moved around.  It'd be nice to get past that and move deeper into the discussion but we're still at the same point we were pages ago.

Certainly this isn't going to change the way the tables were done in 1999 but it has been interesting to consider what Volition was thinking at the time.  I'll still submit that this is much more straight forward than its made out to be and that things don't fit into nice cookie cutter alignments but thats where the understanding seems to diverge so...best to leave it as is.

This is called Mobius syndrome.

Also Trashman doesn't understand analogys well. Or at sometimes at all. Atleast I get what you where trying to say IceFire.

Perhaps it could be called the TrashMan Syndrome... Mobius Syndrome is the need to post in multicolour.

I dunno, is the warm-up cooldown included in the fire wait or is it separate from it?

Its separate.  For a test, I set the fire wait of the LRed to 3 seconds, set difficulty to Insane (difficulty affects fire rate), and had a ravana shoot something.  The warmup of the second shot started almost exactly 3 seconds after the warmup of the first.  So it fired every three seconds.

so...in reality, an LRed basically fires continuously, given the warm up time of 3 seconds and fire time of 7 seconds and recharge of 10...adds up to a continuous beam.

Are you sure you're not getting confused by The Great Hunt's Ravana?

Yes ... Except for the difficulty thing and the random turret fire delay.

Ya rly.

(come on, can't you take a joke?)

You should say "it's a joke" at the end of the incriminated post, NOT after my reply!

Oh, c'mon!  You couldn't tell that it was a joke

Wouldn't that partially take the edge off a joke? I mean, you throw a punchline and then say "Psst. It's a joke!".

Ever get that feeling that there's a mod reading over your shoulder with his finger on the lock button?

Does it count if I have a feeling that someone is actually watching over my shoulder?

Every day. Sometimes even twice a day.

Apparently I get them better than you do.

Hm....Hades syndrome (or Snail syndrome?) - not being capable of understanding a discussion and impulsively accusing someone of not understanding arguments to compensate for his lack of the said ability.
