Gar's Mega Bountying Guide for HyperSpace v. Arnk

[Gar]

Just can't quite cut it centering in your warbird or shark? Too far away from walls for bursts and reps to get you free kills? Do you wish you could have millions like the 'pros'? Well, my friend, you need GAR'S MEGA BOUNTYING GUIDE FOR HYPERSPACE V. ARNK!

 

GAR'S MEGA BOUNTYING GUIDE FOR HYPERSPACE V. ARNK

 

The first thing you should do is think about how you kill and survive. Killing's not so important. That happens over time, even if you're not trying. People will fly into mines or bullets, you'll get a lucky shot, whatever. Survival is the most important thing for bountying. Unfortunately, survival often depends on skill, which we all know is prone to randomly getting you killed if Arnk rolls the dice the wrong way on you. So what do we do? The answer is simple: remove as much skill as possible from the equation!

 

Strategy 1: The Wonder Twins

Tired of getting killed? Well, why not just make yourself invincible? For this skill-removing strategy, you'll need two friends.

 

Setup (3 person priv):

1 Spider with Pulse or Gauss, and Solid Nutronium or Shock Matrix.

2 Lancasters both with Summon.

 

Here's what you do: have the spider set a hotkey for ?summon to each of the Lancasters. Have the Spider attach to one, and have the two of them fly around shooting at people. It doesn't really matter if you aim, as people will chase you all over. Being on a turret, the Spider will take almost no damage from guns. Whenever the Lanc dies (and it will always die first) or whenever the Spider is in trouble, just have it ?summon to the other Lanc, which is hiding safely somewhere. In 3 seconds, the other Lanc will be revived, allowing the Spider to jump back and forth to instantaneous and unstoppable safety. Ignore the people that scream at you, as they're just jealous With this method, you can pretty much get infinite bounty with no skill whatsoever. It works really well in the minibase, too.

step 1: find two lancs willing to drive you

step 2: be prepared to give them a cut of your money

step 3: ????

step 4: profit!!! minus lanc fees. minus bullet costs since you're just hoping for strays and chasers. minus decreased earnings from bullets buying, poor driving staying in safe too long, brickwarping, other misc mishaps. ok so not that much profit

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

[Lie]

Until someone chases your "safe" lanc with a bombing ship. Then it's GGkthxBTY.

[Gar]

I love how you make it seem so simple... all safe ship has to do is portal away

[Unix]

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

[Gar]

Yes, you said that already. That doesn't make it right nor you not lame. Before I was mostly kidding when I ragged on you, but after the past couple weeks where you've no longer been a mod you've really begun to sicken me. Literally everyone else in the zone plays like a normal person, and everyone enjoys it. The moment you enter the game - be it basing, turf, whatever - you immediately switch to griefing and cheese in a manner that just plain disrupts and ruins the game for everyone else, even your own freq. My freq, even if you're on it, becomes filled with 'ugh it's unix', 'SOMEONE GET X', 'gay', and 'watch out, )$*# unix TWing here to field or kill lanc'. You play to get high on feeling better than others, and you can do it here because the item set and your squad/insane cash gives you power you don't have in skill. While you had mod powers you weren't so bad because you had automatic pleasure just from literally being 'above' everyone else - but once you lost those powers, oh, man, did you suddenly get on and start griefing every single night. I know your type, and I've opposed people like you in every game that I've played. Unfortunately, I also know that you will win in the end. People like you have nothing else, and so will never quit. You will one day be Lord of HyperSpace, reigning over your empty zone and gloating to nobody.

 

DOOOOOOOOM!!!

And then you will only have me to whine to

[Gar]

I don't whine.

[Unix]

I don't whine.

That's funny

[Exiili]

Unix seems to assume this thread to be a attack on his person (yet again). Which is why it'll soon degrade into a massive flamewar.

Before that happens, I want to inquire couple of things.

 

1 - Why does the summoner even exist?

2 - If there is actually a valid reason. Did you mean that it could be used as an away message for full-life attaching and lame activities such as this?
