That's funny

Gar whining to us about the difference of privs newbs etc is enough I would think.. Most people will be able to kill within the first 5 mins. easily, but of course it's harder in center if you're not basing - Basing and killing are easy

And then you will only have me to whine to

The tricks? If there are tricks, why not publish them so that then newbs can use them? No excuses for newbs not to gain experience fast. And if you know the tricks, how come you're whining that it's still too slow?

Gar, this has always been around for a long time - It's nothing new.

If you dont play why comment? Time and time again, we see players restart over and have absolutely no problem.

Umm.... DONT use Ultra Rocket and Super Computer, dont you dare you use it!

Wont making privs that small make less ?money players out casted essentially? Then we'll have players like Gar complaining even more. Unless you can make pub like 2x the size of priv teams, otherwise it wont work. If pubs can at least get the numbers advantage that would help, then again a team of ?money players could just go on a pub, etc etc. Salvo itself isnt that big of a problem, if it werent or salvo, there would be no rushing at all. It's bad enough that we barely have any even with salvo most of the time.

Super computer and Ultra Rocket

The point of buying salvo is so you can spam items (like thor). Salvo already has been nerfed might I add. People still arent taking note that thor wars are EASILY countered, you just need to put a lil bit of effort into it. It's not like sharks where they arent easily stopped, thors are quite easy and can actually help your team if the enemy is stupid enough to shoot thors without caring, like Lera.

you told us in the beginning when people talked about lanc not being able to use EI Same thing about adding a special burst mount or something when you took away burst from siege mount

Thor speed is determined by bomb speed of the ship + movement of the ship at the time of the thor firing. Moving thorring to base 8 means that players like Gar will complain that the ones who continue to thor are the ones who can afford TW key or id drives etc, increasing the wealth gap. As it stands now, the only problem people have with thors is that people are dying from it because they're not trying to counter it.

Harder reps = Laggier

I dont even have a sig on my lanc and I dont see a problem with bursts

Thors are a type of bomb, essentially level 4 - Their damage is derived from bomb settings If you see me warp, more than likely someone else on my team is doing the same thing - So stop us, use antiwarp so we cant. Dont be so lazy and have the settings do something for you, it's not like you "cant" stop thors, you just dont want to.

I honestly dont see that big of a problem with m!@#$%^&* thorring, other than when multiple players thor at the same time. Even then that's rare. Trick about thorrers is that, they suck at literally everything else. They cant rush well, and the only way to continuously be a threat is to warp and buy thors, then get summoned back. Easy trick to stop that is something called antiwarp. Try stopping thors yourself, be a shield for your team, you'd be surprised how effective that is.

This is news to you? It's been around for a while now... Even before this most recent reset.

Arnk was working on a way for lanc to use EI or some other form of it solely for lanc - Even if they could it wouldnt be good. Gotta go to base 8 and one time use, not to mention uses a mount spot.

The biggest reason why people are actually dying to thors are mainly because of the splash damage. A thor is essentially a level 4 bomb with prox. We all know how powerful one tacnuke is if it hits relatively close to you, what you're getting hit with is even more powerful than a tacnuke because it has no energy cost, and does more damage and the splash is a lot larger. It's not that thors are overpowered, just that players leave themselves open for it. A lot of times it's a battle of who can thor the best, not a matter of rushing in bases. We have two teams thorring one another seeing who can outlast the other, which lanc can survive, who has the summon, etc. If you wanna stop people from thorring, rep the thors, stay near the enemy so that they tk one another. Players like Lera will thor all the time, even if it causes tks, so that helps your team even more. Then when they're weakened, have your team not thor back, but actually RUSH.

The difference between basing now and before. Before there were people who rushed, now there aren't as many, this mainly because people are wimps and staying back. If a team stays back and is in one somewhat large cluster, the potential for thor damage is a lot higher because a good thorrer will aim at a large cluster of blue rather than almost no one. Of course thors are more prevelent than before if people aren't rushing. What do you expect? If you're not going to rush, what's the next best option? The trip thor phenemenon also works on the premise of concentrated damage, so its not like one thor is killing you its more like 3 of them. Let's also not forget that the damage from the splash itself is what kills you, not direct hits, if you want a good thor protection armor, try wave

No.... They did do just as much damage I believe, the thing is that the weasel rush was just a lot more effective. Not only that, but the way basing is done now isnt the same as before, which makes thorring better to do.

I think turf is headed in the right direction, but it still needs to have less scattering.

90% of players who use thors arent using them to make money, It's not often when a player who constantly thors does make a profit from it.

Noticeable stat differences come when there minimum and maximum range between two numbers are increased. A 10% increase will be more noticeable if the range is 100-1000 compared to 500-1000

I separate my ammo and specials.
