' Wrote:Personally, I don't consider an in-flight x-fer oorp. limitations in the game mechanics force us to maintain a 'suspention of disbelief' & when it happens, I simply pretend I saw the beam.
That being said, I believe that it would be more realistic to refrain from doing an x-fer, & simply fly close & dump the stuff for scooping. that way, it gives the enemy the slim chance to destroy the bots/bats before they get to where the're going. (more risk=more excitement)
but hey, that's just me:P
I agree with Marburg on this point. It's not really, to my mind OORP to assist your comrades in battle via giving them bats/bots, it's not like they are being spawned. There is still a depreciation once the exchange is over. Unless you got a Freighter standing by handing them out. In a good fight, they are expended rather rapidly anyway so once someone is out... clearly the tactics change. I like Marburg's idea tho.
