+----- Thread: [NEMP Event] Purple Rain (/showthread.php?tid=170635)
RE: [NEMP Event] Purple Rain - Shaggy - 05-24-2019
Not trying to cause an issue or anything, but most ID's allow SHF's to be used, So why not use SHF's also? SNAC's are bad so won't be able to insta you anymore, so why whine about it when you can do the same? But instead you chose to fly a Falchion, Maurader or other Heavy Fighter's?
But what is of concern to me is why was there a Auxesia IFF and ID'd Unioner gunboat? That makes no sense inRP ???

I knew immediately when the hc came to the agreement when we said "let's give them a fair duel so it'll motivate them to log" would immediately backfire.
The very first balanced fight we let happen resulted in the unioner player being upset at losing and he insta kills a spectator.
Next day I go on to witness a lone member jumped by double mr shuttles, cruisers and fighters.
Unbelievable.
RE: [NEMP Event] Purple Rain - Wesker - 05-24-2019
Instead of choosing to fly a literal abomination of balance I chose to fly a fun and skill based class that has been used in FL and respected since vanilla. People don't enjoy mining bots out of a cau 6 SHF for 30 minutes straight while it hugs cruisers or runs towards the nearest base to dock.
I am satan, you're right.

I don't know why there's a Unioner Gunboat either. Let me know where it is.
Insta-kill ships are garbage and take all element of skill out of the game. The UN has access to some very decent VHFs, and you're all making the conscious decision to fly broken and poorly balanced ships/loadouts, diving cruisers into snub fights like there's no tomorrow and dog-piling any opposition. My first interaction with this event - or rather, first three, we were outnumbered and ganked to oblivion. The idea that anyone on the UN's side has been practicing fair play (barring like 3 people) is false, considering the first three days were nothing but meme-filled bullshit. There is absolutely nothing fun or entertaining about a bunch of OSC shuttles with meme names and unbalanced loadouts.
No shit you're going to get missile gunboat'd if your first response to an event is to be toxic.

to be honest wesker even if you fly a snub it still doesnt matter if behind you are a trillion missile caps
its just you trying to get the moral high ground by being potentially killable unlike your honorable compatriots
im still impressed that people complain about ganking in this day and age considering it has been going on for like, a decade
its always the same thing about the lack of empathy towards your fellow player
it will never go away because if you die in freelancer you die in real life and that is a true fact

I'm not sure if people are being deliberately dense hypocrites in this thread or if it's all just a huge bait but at the very least it's entertaining.
Auxesian players that fly fighters are deliberately flying Falchions because they're aware the ship has a moderately broken hitbox. You're also unironically accusing me of "being toxic" (?) when I logged in and got missile gunboat/capital'd at twelve-to-one odds while literally having just installed the game.
You're doing all the things you're accusing the opposing side of yourselves. Get off your high horse. Frankly this entire event is a joke - it's essentially a conflict both in- and out of roleplay, and everyone that's spent 3 seconds participating in it should realize this.

i flew an arbieter vhf at the beginning of the event
constantly got piled by auxesia in cruisers and gbs
so i swapped to a shuttle for better survivability because some other indies were doing it in response to the above
i'm still getting piled by auxesia in cruisers and gbs
also funny thing, yes i am an indie unioner shuttle, but i haven't seen of or heard of a single UN| tagged shuttle during this event
i did see an A/) tagged shuttle on monday/tuesday tho [:
not to mention A/) tagged falchions, repair ships, marauders, scrapers, missile gbs, an auxesia UN GB(???)
is this even any different to normal auxesia pvp etiquette

Where are the rephacks? Last I heard NEMPing = perm hostility.
