Repeatidly bumping your own posts after 2 months of inactivity is going to hack a lot of people off (in fact I am surprised there has been no comment already).

Personally, I don't see the point in this. Surely a COLLECTIVE theory lab negates the idea of making it portable... If the point is to allow someone to make their own recepies that are not shared with the rest of the legion, then they need to be far less powered than the CTL ones as you can't spend as much research to get them... It would also stop people putting into the CTL if they had their own.

Sorry, it's a -1 from me

~sigh~ you had a grand total of 3 people post, and nothing actually related to the idea of a portable CTLab, before you decided to keep bumping it. I am sure nearly every suggestion I have made is a good idea, should I go through and bump all those back up?

So in essence, what you are suggesting, is a module, which takes up valuable deck space, needs the same level of research and costs the same as the CTL to use, and works in exactly the same way just without actually sharing your research with the rest of the legion. What EXACTLY is the benefit of this? Tagging the word portable on the front, when the whole point of a CTL is the collaborative nature of it is completely redundant and does not make for a wonderful new idea.

...and I cannot believe that anyone has "spare research points" just lying around that they can't be bothered to use. Anybody that has researched up to HTD understands the use of research points and will never just let them go to waste. Even when you have researched every track to it's limit, you still have the option of cashing them in if you don't want to donate to the CTL.

As for me apparently trolling? I was polite, I was not argumentative or insulting, I kept my language clean, and posted my own thoughts on your idea (which is kinda the point to this forum). How is any of that trolling?

I know full well what trolling is and I know you don't HAVE to be insulting, argumentative or use foul language. I was however trying to point out that there was nothing inflamatory about anything I wrote, and was merely my point of view on the suggestion made. In fact, it strikes me that the most troll-like response in this whole topic so far is your attempt to wind me up branding my suggestions collectively as "crap". Might have bothered me if you hadn't demonstrated you can't read and inwardly digest a coherant argument.

Nothing you have said has made me change my opinion. It makes no difference what you call it, what you still have in essence is something that takes up deck space and does exactly the same as something else we already have. I still think this is a totally redundant concept.

Anyway, as I said, I put my view forward, as is the point of this forum. If Dan wants to impliment a suggestion he feels is worthwhile, he will. I am just trying to take part in the process so I can help make the game as enjoyable as possible. I am not going to let myself be drawn into a retarded tit-for-tat exchange with anyone. If that's your bag, I will leave you to it.
