Metallicoe Keng Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 HeyWhat's Ordo's official rule on the use of Fairlight weapons, and what does everybody think of them?I'm preparing part two to my report for the Jessie War Journal you see, and Ordo feedback would be very helpful!Regards,Metallicoe :wallbash: See part one, here:http://thejessiewarjournal.wordpress.com/2...-investigation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryte Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi Metallicoe! Feel free to nudge me in world. Sorry to have missed you.The Ordo permits the usage of Fairlight on a general level, we do not permit:1. Anything beyond "dual" wielding.2. Unlimited ammunition.3. Tracking munitions.In general, Fairlight is very well put together. The claims of lag are . . curious. The only devices that have ever really been considered out of line have typically been fixed in an auto-update some time later. Julia Faulkland, Fairlight's owner, is extremely customer orientated. Likewise, you should probably go straight to her to get in the interview! I can tell you, she'd be happy to comment.There are a lot of unfounded claims as to the quality of Fairlight . . for example, in the first part of your article, the comments about the Variabird are completely false. The weaponry systems on the vehicle were simple damage bullet firing chainguns. Not megaprim lasers. Likewise, there is no such thing as an "auto dodge" system. The craft "Margret" describes sounds like an epic doomsday device, though. Where can I buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Wow, just wow... perhaps one of the least coherent and uninformed pieces I've read yet from Jessie War Journal. I am terribly displeased. If you do an investigation on something like weaponry, you either research 'rumors' from people with wild ideas, or go straight to the source for the actual information.

Phillip Hultcrantz Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Oh wow, I've never seen so much ignorance in one article in my life. I'm talkign about the people you interviewed of course. Normaly this would be where I'd go on a rant about the stupidity of people today, but I don't think even I can do justice here...There isn't a fairlight weapon I own that has more than 3 rez slaves. They don't spam at all, people say they do because the weapons they use are so poorly scripted that they kill the sim and thus kill the performance of their own weapons.I've been in the SL combat community for nearly 2 years now. I've used weapons from nearly every military, and nothing compares to the perfection of Fairlight.Now I can understand people dis-liking the HD bullets. They are 2 prims and do put a bit more load on the physics.Here is what Niiya stated about the HD bullets:-“HD” bullets are a simple bullet made of two instersecting box prims (the prim that has the least physics load on the server). They were created for pre-glow SL, when we didn’t have an easier means of making pretty laser blast or tracer effects. These bullets are actually alot less load than most others on the grid (such as ones that use a torus or a sphere). Any rumours that they are “laggy” or cause sims to crash are completely unfounded and ridiculous.-I've more or less decided that the reason people ban the use of FL weapons is because they are jsut simply better than their own issued guns, and a better gun can give you a great advantage.

Aelus Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Fairlight's weapons have been refined exponentially; well beyond that of most weaponry found in Second Life. If anyone has enquiries regarding Fairlight industries, one simply needs to ask Julia Faulkland rather than do some colloquial investigation brimming with fallacies.I hate the media.

Cheeso Szydlowska Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 To be honest, this sounds less like an investigation, and more like a compilation of unfounded rumors and mystical SL technologies. I remember a complaint about the Punisher mech the Ordo used having, what was it, "reverse passive push defence shielding?" Let's string fancy words together and make awesome imaginary features now, shall we? I'm glad I haven't been "investigated" like this, I'd suddenly be selling fully automatic nuke launchers. (For the record, just because -I- have then doesn't mean I sell them. >_>) Hopefully for part 2, you'll at least get some interviews with people who know what's up, not the random "Oh ya they lag and are tracking. Also they have shields and auto-dodgers." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyphre Iredell Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You're a little late to that party, as that mere mention doesn't somehow magically make the article anything more than rumors without a proper title encompassing it.

Take a chill pill, man.=/ Not really getting fired up over it. And yeah a lot of people are dissing the article itself. In any case, the second part should be good.

Cyphre Iredell Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I am dissing the article itself for poor workmanship entirely. It is perhaps a worse pile of words than the SL Herald has produced. Even despite the numerous errors to be corrected with a basic spellcheck (or current generation Firefox), there is no general form for the content. Though I already outline my disdain earlier.
