Topic: KCW: Which house gets what race UI? Look here !

[Capt Jeff]

House Dizaroma :   Mirak

House Kinshaya:    ISC

House S'uhn'ih :     Hydran



Just a reminder.....  ALL HOUSES  wll have Klingon sounds, voice, taunts, mouse pointers, and engine sounds (not music though).

Just thought I'd throw this out here so once the draft list is complete, you will know what UI you are going to be playing with.   

[FPF-Tobin Dax]

I say NO to the Mirak UI. No one has commented on the inability to pause raids successfully with it. This is a huge disadvantage to the house that gets it. I don't know whether it's the mods or whether it has always been a bug in the game, as I never played Mirak before GW1, but I have yet to have the pause feature work despite fresh installs and different campaigns etc.  No one has addressed it and yes it's been posted before. You might recall the Hexx "you can pause raids?" spin-off. Considering all Klingon transporters here, the Mirak UI could be a big disadvantage to the house using it.

WTF are u talking about Shogun?

And wtg on the klink stuff Jeff.

Why on earth would you pick the 3 eye-burners???  When it comes to UI's those three just plain hurt.

I'd forgotten about that bug!

While I promise to do my level best for whichever house drafts me, I'd like to point out that my skills will be reduced by the Mirak UI.  I do OK with it and I won several PvP's with it in GW3, but I'm never at my best with it.

It burns us.

He's talking about the fact that the "pause" button for H&R's doesn't pause the H&R's. If you set H&R's they will go off at range 5 if a shield is down whether you want them to or not. I refuse to use that interface so I hope I'm not on that team.

Forgive my ignorance.  Do you mean if you hit the hotkey "pause" you cannot stop hit and runs, or do you mean clicking the toggle on hit and runs on the control panel does not work?

I'm not familiar enough wiht the Mirak interface to have any experience with this problem.

[Corbomite]

The toggle.

[FPF-DieHard]

Can we swap the Kzin interface for Federation?

Does this mean you can fly a F-DNH and I can fly a F-BCF and then we can go take over House Dizaroma?

[Dizzy]

Ok, Stop the Press.

I'm not playing the server if the Mirak UI is used.

[Kroma BaSyl]

I think we found the first bug to squash and the test server isn't even up yet....

Jeff how hard is it to switch this out with another UI?

[Dizzy]

Not hard at all, but Im sure it is time consuming. He switched all the sounds and taunts around.

[KDS-KYTARH]

Hey! Where is this toggle switch located????

Could of sworn that I was typing in English dizzy and I am not Shogun! Please pay closer attention and you might not wind up typing WTF etc.

[FPF-Tobin Dax]

In the game manual.


Look at the top right of the panel and you'll see an exclamation like icon. Click on it and it switches/toggles to an icon like the pause button on your cassette or CD player. This way you can pre-assign what you want to hit without fear of them beaming at a bad moment when you have used the pause mode and then with one click you toggle back from the pause mode and send your marines across when you feel it's best to do so.

[KBF-Crim]

Thats kinda nutty....is there any reason all houses cant use the klink UI?

I thought this could be changed with an INI setting...

lol. Got me. My apologies Tobin, I am sick and havent had any sleep for a while. I saw the SHG and added in some vowels. Heh, my bad, dude.

And thanks for pointing that out. It's a serious issue. Er the pause button.

[FPF-Tobin Dax]

Cool.

I think I saw in another post that there was a concern that Klingons would have a small advantage with their "native" interface, so the thought process was to move most people out of their comfort level. 

You could make the arguement that the Mirak who wind up with the mirak interface will have a small advantage, but they wil still be flying ships that may be unfamiliar to them. 

The interface is  a small issue in my mind, but if that toggle issue is true, I can see a reason for concern.  Give 'em Beast Raiders!
