<DelmarWynn> [Anon1116] Q for Rusty- This dev chat suggests the vast majority of dev efforts are on PvP and very little on PvE. Is this what PvE players could expect from PotBS?
<[FLS]Rusty> No, we're still working on adding more PvE content (heck, I have an entire strike team for pillaging!) but until we build some of the other elder game systems, PvP is the core of our elder game, and has to work.
<[FLS]Rusty> It has a number of issues that are hurting it for the PvP guys, and the PvE (since it's unreasonably hard for them to avoid) so the changes benefit both groups.
<[FLS]Rusty> We haven't talked about PvE-specific improvements, but they're coming, as well as a cool new epic mission of the supernatural.
<DelmarWynn> It is time we come to a close and let the devs get back to 1.3, 1.4 and beyond. But first one last question and the winner of the tshirt giveaway!
<DelmarWynn> TheMaster42: What is each dev's favorite ship? =)
<[FLS]Aether> Picking one ship is too difficult. The Oliphant was a user created ship built by Marion, our User Content Specialist. It is both gorgeous, and tough.
<[FLS]Joe> The Raft!
<[FLS]Aether> Though I'm also a fan of Xaphod's Bark, which is yet another UC masterpiece.
<[FLS]Aether> You can check those out, and more, by visiting http://www.burningsea.com/explore/library/ship-guide/
<[FLS]Rusty> The Turtle. I did a LOT of demo'ing with it in Asia, so I had it overgunned. Bwahahahahaa!!!!
<[FLS]Taelorn> I get this question all the time, especially at dinner. And... I never have an answer.
<[FLS]Aether> water hax.
<[FLS]Taelorn> I've spent so much time buried in ship data, setting thousands of values, that they all become giant messes of numbers.
<[FLS]Joe> Sorry, didn't realize we were going wordy. I should have said, "The Raft! A user content ship made by our own environment artist Woody when he was still an intern." :)
<[FLS]Aether> Use your words, Joe.
<[FLS]Taelorn> It's almost like someone's asking me, "Which of these formulas do you like best?"
<[FLS]Aether> You are a machine, Taelorn.
<[FLS]Taelorn> While I love our ships, I work with them on a level that's completely impersonal and I never developed a favorite.
<[FLS]Rhaegar> which forumla DO you like best?
<[FLS]Rusty> Admit it, you have a favorite formula!! I've seen you at night with Excel!!!
<[FLS]Aether> haha
<[FLS]Joe> I like A^2 + B^2 = C^2 best.
<[FLS]Rusty> "crunch it baby"
<[FLS]Taelorn> Uhm... I don't know.. the speed one? The size ones? The level?
<[FLS]Aether> Alright, we'll leave it at that then :)
<[FLS]Aether> Let's give out some prizes, no?
<[FLS]Taelorn> I guess I multi-task
<DelmarWynn> So who is the winner? Huh! Huh!
* [FLS]Aether pokes Rhaegar
<[FLS]Rhaegar> Right. As many of you are aware, we're giving out prizes to four randomly selected people tonight. Each one will get a 30-day PotBS timecode, and one of our very sought after t-shirts.
<[FLS]Rhaegar> So without further ado, the four random winners are....... *drumroll*
<mattlow> me me, pick me!
<DelmarWynn> me! me!
<[FLS]Rhaegar> DeArkahm, Marat, Swiss_Mercenary, ejengstrom
<DelmarWynn> Woohoo! Congrats all!
<[FLS]Aether> Woot!
<[FLS]Rusty> I answered Swiss)Mercenary's question. He was blessed!
<[FLS]Rhaegar> And, as a reward for asking an awesome question, we are also giving a bonus prize of a 30 day time code to Billy!
<DelmarWynn> With that! We want to thank the team from Flying Labs for taking time out of their busy schedule to chat with us!
<[FLS]Rusty> Thanks for coming everyone!
<[FLS]Rusty> bye!
<[FLS]Aether> Thanks folks, we will see you on the high seas!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by and asking questions, and a big thank you to the staff of Flying Labs, that took time out of their busy schedules to answer.
