maybe more people should start making rushing ships? i've only seen about a few rushers on atkers most of the time with an excess of gunners/bombers that just wallbomb and stay back until rushers start joining from defender freqs, or do people need their cyclone before they can actually rush?

just rush with a tiny ship and burst, dont rep, it saves tons of money

most people dont like basing because they dont know how to make a basing ship or have the money to make 1, so they keep losing

win money ftw! rushing with 1k exp=pwnage

1.lancs dont need less nrg, they die fast enough without it, besides, rarely anyone gets zpm 2.agreed, terrs should not outgun spiders <--------its already this way

if this change was made to stop turrets, it was a bad change, turrets dont need bounce so either they can just not use ammo, or use gauss cannon, this change hinders basing more as people can no longer bty to earn cash for their team, and this affects the rushers as they will be wasting more money to rush(where as the high bty can keep their spendings at par before) ---- actually right now the only way to make money is turreting lol, since u cant base with no-bounce guns, turrets will give the most money

the ammo doesnt need changes, noobs who are just starting arent hindered much, the ammo usage for their guns is so low u dont need to buy ammo for hrs and when they do, its like 1-2 of their kills to buy ammo. whereas the expensive guns such as m!@#$%^&* driver, u can spend all ur ammo in like 10-20 minutes if your not careful

8)get a cloaker ship to sit ontop of nme, they'll blow themselves up by thoring(especially since barely anyone turns on xradar)

cuse xradar drains too much nrg, and will kill u if u leave it on too long due to the thors

system optimizer,man fins,inertia together can really cancel out the rot problem in nuclear booster, u'll have -1(?) rot when u buy all 3 of those items

slow

that will just degrade basing to 1 large defending priv, and 3-4 different pubs flanking each other

not at all, about 1/2 or more of the new names i see are people in hiding, or using new names to change personality

i said nothing of the sort, even if i had, quote correctly, i never use lulz, i dont even know what it means people sit in spec and wait for the correct moment to join, and from ur screenshots i can tell its the flag game that 1 freq had 2 flags defended, 1 freq had 18. Its freq 0's fault for atking and leaving their own base relatively unguarded allowing unix's wzl to kill everyone. and mods dont switch all good people to 1 side,btw. (hey cool, i c myself on the screenshot in base 4,{the tiny afk blue dot in the flagroom})

cuse u dont have a font that could write chinese

actually, right now, those people who spent money making a rushing ship not a thoring 1(like everyone else) can break through base easily as long as they dont get thored or teamthored

answer:the guy in black w/ apron

What basing is all about these days: as you can see, all basing right now is exchanging of massive thorstorms back and forth, atkers dont even try going in base now. nearly everyone have thors that they just fire at nme freqs. No 1 bothers with flags anymore, they dont even turn on antiwarp http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/8374/screenshot3dt3.png http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/5396/screenshot4tm2.png

terrs arent all that special, wzls almost have the same recharge and has more nrg the only reason people use terr instead of wzl is because of a couple reasons: 1. terrs get plasma cannon which has an absurd low nrg cost for its lvl (its a l3 gun that uses 3 more nrg/shot than pulse...) which helps alot in center since base games rarely start 2. wzls have single barrel guns which limits the aim and it cant use many of the high lvl guns since it is a bomber, this limits the wzl role to more of a basing one since no one can buy any good bombs like tacnuke for it yet.

agreed, right now 1 fully upgraded med ship(3,4,5,6) can hold an entire base, as i've proven today by defending against 3 almost barely upgraded rushers and their lanc.

i think the most problem is when the levis with 18 shrap with falcon, since no 1 has shrap armor, it does alot, maybe make coils not a sig? (a couple times when priv vs priv games, the priv without a levi with l3 shrap usually has a harder time)

omg this topic is so great, i want an automatic ?buy ammo thingy

Its not likely to lose bty if u dont use the center safe, plus the addition of ammo makes people who usually spam endless bullets just to get a lame kill or 2 to rethink their tactics Everythings built that way, what gun needs no ammo? what car needs no gas and replacements? what system will not have upgrades and fixes? you dont need more ammo than other people to have benefits, u just need to learn to aim, with the amount of ammo u can carry, u can go atleast 500 or more bty without even thinking about rebuying ammo, and most people dont even last that long. How much time does it take to press a macro that says ?buy -c 9 gun ammo everytime u die? like 1/2 a second? In hs, u can easily fire most of the guns without any significant nrg loss, so conserving nrg was not a major part of the game, firing more shots/hitting first is more important 10k+ gun ammo divided by like 5 ammo(pulse=common gun)...way more than 30 shots All things are repe!@#$%^&*ive, just like the fact ur turning on ur computer everyday.

dont buy ammo in center safe, u lose too much bty, buy it in side safes, u lose barely any (maybe an item that spawns 1 ammo every min or something?)
