[Official Event] - Running the Gauntlet [Draw]

[Kauket]

The final and best strategy was getting a team of people with heavy CMs to drop a field of heavy CMs directly around the cruiser several seconds before incoming salvos to throw torpedoes off, combined with dispersion CDing of bombers from the front, not the rear. To avoid scorcher camping, we'd let torps in whenever somebody was loitering right next to the ship so they evaporated. We also had a team of fighters deshielding particularly annoying bombers.

That's absolutely goddamned brilliant.

I really hope we see that kind of tactics development in the next event.

Except it doesn't work. It's just a placebo effect because it's the heavy load on the server. Even if it did work, there's still aoe lol

Something was real fishy about those gauntled people, if you ask me.

4 hours being stressed out of my skull shooting near-stationary cruisers with novas in an asteroid field while being shot.

This event basically flushes out the spineless aspect of this community that is that no one wants to learn to fly fighters or anything related to them so the constant answer to literally everything on this server is to just log caps in response. It took the development team putting a story event that was at the "mercy" of the players and ruling out snubs is what it took to bring out an old 4.87 tier snub brawl. When the lsc shooting stopped, when people actually started fighting, there was no one sided effortless stampede for either side. The Bretonian playerbase responded with an extremely impressive and drastic snub force to combat the GRN which was far lesser. I had fun fighting a billion snubs which actually requires effort.

But even though I had fun I am still overwhelmed in disgust that this is what it takes to make a fighter-craft based fight of this capacity go down. Everyone is so damn paranoid they have to answer with capital ships every time. There are like 4 factions on this server that present themselves with mixed forces, the rest is just capspam 24/7. I am seriously considering just not bothering with discovery beyond managing activity time when I now know that the community can provide the awesome experiences everyone coming onto this server looks forward to and just chooses not too. "I'd rather fly my cap because its big simple and there's a probability that I will get blues."


Ridiculous, the amount of fighters in that event hosing down bombers proves that people just choose to ignore this class entirely.

Fighters don't give you much reward if you're bad. Equally some people don't have the patience/desire/time to get good with them. Partly because snub TTK is entirely skill dependent.


Caps can be rewarding even if you're terrible.

I don't deny that Fighters really need more mechanics to be noob friendly, however they can absolutely be rewarding for all skill levels. Group fights are much more accessible than duels.

Fighters not rewarding ....laughs* Well let me tell you a small story, fighters used to be rewarding some mods ago when missiles were still a capable weapon and torpedoes too. Oh also, when the game actually HAD Starkiller and Sunslayer torpedo mounted on a torpedo slot together with a missile.
So removing these from the game and making the current missiles a complete joke, have made the fighters a pain in the butt for some people.
SO there we go, there goes my opinion which you "bright" people ignored ages ago when I was telling you to NOT remove missiles and torpedoes. But no of course you lead to making fighters obsolete because you're afraid to dodge torpedoes / missiles and because you don't want other players to stand a chance against you with the use of pertinent and strategic missile / torpedo attacks.

In case you thought I left, no I didn't. I am waiting to see where do you go with this mod.

My 5 cents, ban me for this post if you want, I wouldn't be amazed for telling my opinion and getting banned once again. Ruined the fun anyway.

It does not take forever to reach average to good skill on snubs at all.

It is ridiculous how this community endorses the constant appeasement for people who claim they "cannot" fly a particular class when in reality its just their lazyness. Every other gaming community I've ever played on, if you complained about "ganks" or "class balance" or anything - the answer would be the majority or skilled players calling you a fag.

Here on disco tho, we have to endorse appeasement for the sake of the player count. The players on this community who fall in this category literally hold the server hostage,

Ridiculous.

"I'd rather fly my cap because its big simple and there's a probability that I will get blues."

Too true regarding the number of capital ships (that weren't the LSCs being escorted) that showed up even though it was specifically (WITH CONSTANT SERVER REMINDERS) only snubs allowed.

I didn't take part in the event, but I've just opened Discord to see who won and saw that Xalrok has checked the code and this indeed worked. Some guys wanted to test it in conn to convince themselves, though I haven't heard of the results yet, if they have even tested it.
