Thank you for the comments, yes I had a great time writing it.
You are right, her prison time allowed her the time to think, to cry and come to terms with who she is and what happened aka Rite of passage.

Its funny how a character first made on a trial account lets your mind wander and begin creating, even if at the time you let the account lapse.
Then a few years later you think, Hey why not try CoH again? But this time with an almost complete bio.

Did take a little trip to your domain DSNG and nice homepage I see you colored Statesman, but I was unable to see it bigger when I clicked on it (no problem with the pencil sketches). aka Server error.
Seems I also did get server errors on most of the pencil sketches that followed.

That could also apply Hydrofoil to bases and base builders, so maybe not the best question to ask. Since in a sg there are only a few that does create the base.

For myself. I am no hard core pvp'er. If anything I would call myself a casual pvp'er. The only thing that destroys that sentiment is that I've not entered a pvp zone in a long long time. I was more in the pvp zones pre I-13, then after. Maybe due to the badges and maybe cause I enjoyed the fast paced action.
For me the travel suppression (slow down when your attacked) took some of the fun away. (I could fly and toss fireballs and do battle = cool (to use that word) )

I mentioned badges, yes I am a badger. I don't mind going into a pvp zone to get the badge, cause I will get it, no matter how many foes I will face... (or if there is too many, I'll simply go at another time and get them then)
Now there must have been some changes to pvp (I've not payed too much attention, sadly), cause for me it was not really worth it in the long run. However I did see plenty of good pvp'ers that enjoyed the battles and even if my character is made for aoe damage of npc's... they commended me on my efforts and gave me some tips (single target attacks is the best... simple advice I know )

You want to have fun Hydro and Bionic, so does the pvp'ers and so do I (and others). For several that I know (I'm a novice myself), the number crunching, the building of your character and seeing how your build stands against another is what I've understood is part of the pvp community. (My understanding, not speaking for them)

One pvp scenario that I enjoyed was on the other superhero game. It had plenty of zombies and every hero (all but a few) started out as heros. It was random who started out as zombies. Your mission was to protect the cottage with civilians, while a horde of zombies where coming against you (and a few "undead" heroes). If a hero was killed, congratulations, you where now part of the undead legion.
It was a simple scenario, but it was fun. Even with a not fully maxed out char etc...

The reason we got the Issue 13 (or pvp changes) was to make the small pvp community a bit bigger and do the changes so that more people could join in.
I cannot say they succeeded in bringing me in and I've noticed that people moved or well, as I interpret it... it may not have been entirely successful. (Maybe successful in the US, how should I know?)


So suggestion or question.
Bases:
There are plenty of items already existing in the game, will we see them in the base builder? Also if you want to add new items, think Lego, (bricks) that we can use while creating. Thick, think, long and short. Will we see that in the game (hopefully soon)?
Pvp:
I love pvp scenarios, will we see something like the Zombie apocalypse from that cryptic hero game, in CoH? It gives us a purpose to fight, enemies to fight and fun?

(Edited: noticed it was answers (darnit) oh well, maybe Avatea or Ocho will give the suggestion back to the devs)

I agree, but there are always the exceptions to the rule. This depends upon the player and how he or she has build/slotted the character. I know one player with a dark/spine that will keep aggro and hold it, from the main tank (and survive).
Granted this is some time ago, not sure how that scrapper would fare now, but *shrugs*
I agree with your initial assessment. Your usual scrapper are not tanks, even how much you buff them etc. They are melee damage with some nice survivability.
A tank is a tank and a good tank is a sweet thing.
