Magazine Scan: PGI Feb 2001: Warpfeed

[zondo]

I like the direction that the Empire defender went, but it looks like it actually made the gun longer.

Another plus to the warp is that you don't have to switch hands to snap shoot.

1) hopper hits

2) hopper blocking vision

Two of the main points proponents of side hoppers and warp feeds name as reasons for their version.

Innovation is the best point no doubt, they are interesting to see on the field.

Whatever works best for you personally, the most fun, is a good thing.

I just never had a problem looking thru the hopper ignoring it, and I find the percentage of hopper hits I've gotten is minuscule.

But whatever works go for it.

Personally my favorite aspect is not needing to change hands to shoot off my left side. Rotation ftw!

[cockerpunk]

Here you go, look at what people are doing with Prophecies and Halos and other forcefeed hoppers, modding them to feed on the side, without the need or use of a secondary hopper to feed the first.

There are some in this very forum. No need for a google search. See what happens when you leave the sanctity of your cave and join the real world?

i am well aware of people doing this. its a perfect example of exactly what im talking about, development along these lines. i think the defender marks to return of manufactures to this idea, and while i have issues with the defender, and using halos and prophs for this purpose, its certainly exciting to see. the box mag on the DAM is another such example. they are basically gen2 of this idea, and note they are significantly better operating than the warp feed ...

are you just going to follow me around and be a jerk about everything, all the time?

Y'all need a hobby!

The two of you knock it off or you both get to sit in the corner for a couple days.

I'm not going to let this get out of hand again.

It takes 2 to make an argument - sometimes the best thing to do is just walk away.

I think he was daring you to ban him Nick.

*edit to stay on topic:


Warp feeds are awesome. To quote my good pal Beemer;

"I can't play with a blimp on the top"

Cant we talk about something with far less controversy...like say the Dallas / Green Bay game

I was thinking more of the chicken/egg debate.

Cockerpunk hit it right on the head. It was a first gen design up against more refined products. We did mock up a photoshop 2nd gen and I showed a pic on AO. The loader cupped around the front of the tank and reg so it was centered and low. Made the whole tank assembly bullet like. I can't find the pic in my archive but maybe someone has it somewhere.

Tom, are you going to make it to Tunaball this year ?

[AGD]

Probably not, you pick the worst time of the year to have it.
