Yooz has not made the game jus lik I wanted. I quit now. U guyz suck.

Still trying to finish this mission series off as well. Buzz me in-game with mail if you still need a hand.

Yeah, so... I bomb burst into a domination match, my tensor equipped scout charging towards the middle node, flashfires streaking past me under the boost my ability provides. I hit the node and drop my repair probe and then set out looking for a target to melt with my lasers. I see a strike lumbering in with a bomber, I climb high, plot my angle of attack, line up my shot, and dive with my finger clicking furiously on the mouse to deliver a red hot bolt of death. Only it doesn't. Instead I get a wall of red text telling me that I have no primary weapon equipped and I've just served myself up wholesale to a strike fighter. The Dude does not abide.

My smuggler: McGuiness Flint - When I'm Dead And Gone. My bounty hunter:

You mean to try and get Imp players on the RE server to start acting as a team and stop being routinely rotflmaoStomped by the Rep players? Been there, got the T-shirt, and repetitive strain injury from telling people the same things over and over and over and over and over. But yeah, good luck with it.

If we don't then players are going to be turned off very quickly by getting continually stomped on - and less players means that bioware are less inclined to invest time and resources into developing new maps, ships and other fun stuff. Ideas such as stock nights are fantastic, as are those players who take time out to inform and encourage the less experienced players on their server. You don't want to go too easy on them, but, you know, fly casual...

(1) There are already penalties for this. (2) Nearly every 'warp' manoeuvre is lag caused by the code, doesn't help if you are in the EU and playing on US servers late night either. That said, the ol' 'Print Screen' button routine is, sometimes, exploited by a certain nefarious players.

Great post. Going to add a link to this from my guilds webpage, to help the newer players grasp the basics.

Until they make it compatible with a tracker ball then I'm refusing to play.

"Settles down with popcorn" Oh! Is this QQ thread still going? Good, good. Carry on.

If you ain't playin' GSF to the then you ain't doing it right.

If I'm on the R.E. server, which I am more often than not since joining a guild, then I'd give my votes to Ghostwatch and Enistra as well. They don't instill me with an impending sense of doom but they do force me to think about my gameplay a lot though. If I'm rolling Imp then there is just one player I honestly dread having to face off against. Heylan...

...forgot to mention the fact that an obviously much more experienced side still took a horde of GS to face off against a bunch of relatively new players. It looks suspiciously like kill farming, which also helps drive away new players in droves.

If a GS has fifteen kills and gone all match without a single death then its shame on the the opposing side for not focusing them. Once you notice a GS is starting to wrack up the kills then you need to let your scouts know so they can kill the GS or at least keep him retreating and unable to have an easy time of it. Effective teamwork trumps everything else in GSF.

Dammit, did I forget to hit the satire button again?

Of course he is trolling. Well, unless he really was a member of the Ravens of Fate...

I suspect I'll be nudging a few of the guilds newer GSF players in this direction. Good work.

Encourage them?! Gads! No. I say we form uber-sqns and hunt them remorselessly until they either: quit, accept they are only ever going to be laser fodder or become 'Aces'. I've had just about as much of this care bear attitude as I can take on these forums.

Valid point made about the Gunships only needing to kill a single bomber then wait it out. When I pointed out that not all of us had Bombers to switch to, they suggested that the rest of us in should draw the Gunships onto the mines he had hidden behind an asteroid... (Why can I hear Gunship pilots laughing from here? )

I ought to add, this is in a TDM, not a Dom match.

Pretty sure I may have to revoke someone's key now... :D:D:D

I'm asking the question because a member of a team I was on recently argued that the best defence against said Horde'O'Gunship™ was to use lots of bombers and draw them onto us. A tactic totally at odds with switching to Scouts and getting in close for kills with lasers and rockets, a tactic which was taught to me by several players better than I. (Approach from an odd angle, boost engines, hold spacebar, evasion buffs, jink, boost weapons, barrel roll past them, split S turn and then pop them with everything you have. You all know the drill I'm sure.) I was convinced that the Gunships would simply pop all their mines/drones/beacons, pop the bombers, then continue popping us. They argued otherwise, insisting that we had to draw the Gunships onto their defences... Can you use Bombers to defeat an opposing side that is Gunship heavy? Have I missed a briefing somewhere and if so can someone clue me in on how to do it?

Heh, only a couple of days ago on the R.E. server I played four games in a row where the other side took seven gunships from the start and the rest took bombers. Actually managed to win one game, as that was the only time the rest of the team I was on listened to a suggestion that we all switch to Burst and EMP scouts. As for the other three matches, well if you try to pick apart a gunships nesting with bombers using an ad-hoc mixture of Strikes, then yeah, I don't think I need to explain the levels of carnage that occurred. I'm sure several people recorded PB's in their space snipers. Back to topic and I play R.E. sever most days. The queues on there pop every couple of minutes until about midnight (GMT).

Not quite all, but at least three on a regular basis.

It's the noise I make most often while blowing up unsuspecting targets in GSF. Using RFL and said upgrade means I have to say it a lot faster than when using LLC.
