Nemarus Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Since the last thread was such a hit... Blackbolt (T1 Scout) - Oberyn Martell - agile and nimble, but prone to sudden explosive death Flashfire (T2 Scout) - Jamie Lannister - quick, lethal, and invincible, until he suffered a grievous nerf; still feared and cursed for his dishonorable past Bloodmark (T3 Scout) - Loras Tyrell - beautiful to look at and skilled in tournaments, but not as effective in real battle StarGuard (T1 Strike) - Robb Stark - the iconic hero, the one everyone roots for, but doomed in the end Pike (T2 Strike) - Theon Greyjoy - Robb's surrogate brother, overeager to prove his worth; missing expected components (also he's from Pike ) Clarion (T3 Strike) - Brienne of Tarth - a skilled and honorable protector, her determination makes her hard to defeat Quarrel (T1 Gunship) - Braun the Sellsword - more concerned with winning than having an honorable, fair fight; tires opponents out until he can make the killing blow Jurgoran (T3 Gunship) - Jon Snow - a bastard of mixed lineage, but capable and adaptable in many forms of combat Rampart (T1 Bomber) - The Mountain - slow and heavily armored, with such strength that he ignores most defenses Sledgehammer (T3 Bomber) - The Hound - slow and heavily armored, but faster than his brother; has an asymmetrical, ungraceful appearance Legion (T2 Bomber) - Daenerys Targaryen - her real power comes from her pets; takes her a long time to get where she's going Dustmaker (T2 Gunship) - Joffrey Baratheon - pretty decent at killing helpless targets from range, but hopeless in a real fight; everyone hates him Edited June 19, 2014 by Nemarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemarus Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) uh, when was the flashfire nerfed into oblivion? Well, 2.6 was a pretty dire nerf to Evasion + addition of mines and drones. T2 Scouts went from being invincible to just overpowered And who knows, maybe the next balance patch will finish the chop. But it's amazing you took a silly joke thread I wrote in five minutes as an invitation for ship balance debate. Come on man. Not every thread is a battle that you must try to win.

Kuciwalker Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 this isn't a ship balance debate, it's game of thrones character appropriateness debate. far more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemarus Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 this isn't a ship balance debate, it's game of thrones character appropriateness debate. far more important. Well, Jamie had to be in the list, and I couldn't think of any ship which suffered as big a nerf as the pre-2.6 Flashfire And ... thematically it just works in my opinion Especially the cursing.

Mangler and 2.7 barrel roll comes to mind. But I agree, Jaime fits perfectly as the battlescout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would take a ship's power, you owe it to it to fly in its cockpit and see its final killcount. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the ship does not deserve to be nerfed."

Slivovidze Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 If I only watched the show, I'd know who is that woman who is supposed to impersonate my Clarion. Google time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemarus Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 If I only watched the show, I'd know who is that woman who is supposed to impersonate my Clarion. Google time. She's without a doubt the most true-hearted and honorable character on the show--and despite this, she's undefeated against three of the best fighters (Jamie, Loras, and the Hound). She's basically always on a quest to protect or rescue someone, also. Though perhaps I should've called her the Imperium, since (in the show at least), she's regarded by other characters as quite ugly. Lots of lines like, "Good gods is that a woman?!" Though to be honest, in the book she was described as much uglier than the actress who plays her in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinityLyre Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) "A gunship always pays their debts." "The things I do for repair probes." "I learned how to slug a long time ago." "When Flashfires and worse come hunting … you think it matters who sits on the satellite?" "The Manglers send their regards." Tyrion's trial: "You admit you destroyed the two-shipper?" "No. Of that I'm innocent. I am guilty of a far more monstrous crime. I am guilty of being a gunship." "You are not on trial for being a gunship." "Oh, yes I am. I've been on trial for that my entire life." "Have you nothing to say in your defense?" "Nothing but this: I did not do it. I did not kill the two-shipper but I wish that I had. Watching your whining newbie die gave me more relief than a thousand bad strike fighters. I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough railgun shots for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it." "Ser Nemarus, escort the prisoner back to his cell--" "I will not give my life for a two-shipper's murder. And I know I'll get no justice here, so I will let the game decide my fate. I demand a trial by matchmaking!"
