Lowering of BPS limits - what say you?

[fuzzy juzzy]

Does anyone know when we will hear the outcome of this?

 

[arg1271]

just a quick thought

who at the moment CAN cap there gun at 13bps and who can't (without a new board or having re-programed)

mine can so im happy but how much of a pain is it guna be for the rest of the world ?

if this does come in (and it looks like it might) what does happen to the hundreds of markers out there that have a board with ony a 14 or 15 bps cap (like the M5 board in my DM3) in order to carry on playing are companies going to offer a flashing service or do we have to fork out a significant wedge on a new board.

Luckily it's only my backup and my main gun I CAN cap at 13, but I bet there will be hundreds that can't.

when they introduced the ramping rules most boards were flashed to meet the new requirements, i assume it will be the same this time round,

the series' would of got in touch with the major manufacturers and informed them of their intentions to make sure they are possible.
