Public vs Private

[Guest Moose Master]

Hi, there was a pub v priv event in the zone today and I expected someone to post about it but it looks like no one has so I will:

 

 

Event: Good

Winner: Priv (of course)

 

Suggestions:

1 I think THOR needs to be restricted so that only one ship type can have it, like the lanc.

2 I think shark and lev need to lose the ability to have anti-death.

 

 

 

1: If the Lancaster is the only ship allowed to have thors then you will no longer get the hail of death that restricts game play to spawn-attach-explode-repeat. This would then mean that thors would become a true artillery weapon and could possible be increased in number or strength (as a defending/attacking lanc-anchor usually won't suicide just to restock).

 

2: Shark is a great attack ship and lev is a good bomber. The problem is they, in my opinion, detract from basing fun because people just use them to suicide and burst. It may be a valid technique that all the pros are using but I disagree with any skill-less suicide tactic and with Anti-Death it just means they get to do it twice in the same spot. Maybe they could be given a self destruct item instead of antideath that is triggered by F4?.. IE:/ they'ed explode and cause damage but can't keep repeating it.

I'm too lazy to separate this into 2 quotes so i'm just making my response bold...

but that might bring back lanc rushing... eh, idk

i agree, no ad on shark/levi would be nice...especially cause levi has EI, and cause shark doesnt NEED to be able to spam out 6 bursts and 2 brick attacks and slip past bullet lines with it's 6 reps >_>

Lancs are quite expensive to buy and kit out properly so maybe it won't be too much of a problem? I'm not sure, but it would be worth a test for a few days. These changes + larger public freqs could = a much more popular and fun zone?

So...whos gonna be able to make those "quite expensive" lancs? If this gets implemented, we r gonna get a bunch of pricks coming on forums and whining about how rich players are the only ones lanc rushing.

 

Secondly, taking AD off levi and shark is a good thing which I agree on. But doing such big change while we already p!@#$%^&* a month or two after reset isnt the best thing to do.

levi is fat and its rocket is weak, just use 1 or 2 reps and it could barely move, and any ship can slip past bullet lines, u dont need a shark, this is another complaint of people not having those stuff

How are public freq's set up?

 

Public freq's should be able to be as big as a private freq can be at any time. It seems like players get evenly split on each pub team which can lead to the pub freq's being shorthanded to a private freq. For example if there is one private with 7 players and there are only 10 pub players the teams would be: pub1: 5 players pub2: 5 players priv:7 players

 

At the lest Public freq's should be able to be as big as the current largest private freq.
