Capital Ship Missiles

[Yngen]

I don't have a problem with tactics. I have a problem with using loopholes. I can't call missile spamming tactics. Maybe I'm retarded or something... I still haven't seen tactics neither SA nor KNF using except missile spamming but whatever, maybe I'm retarded.

Yes, missle launchers without ammo is a loop hole. And missles can be seen as a loophole because they negate evasive manuevers and aiming. Another loophole is how a ship as small as a fighter can possibly hold 70 missles (unguided rockets are small enough for that, but missles are miniature space crafts in and of themselves and are much larger. A fighter carrying between 5 and 10 missles is more likely to me.)

Not meaning to flame anyone, be realistic, examine the way you fight. Ask yourself and honestly answer to yourself, not to me, I don't need the answer. How many fighters does your faction have? What kind of fighters? What are the stats? How many capships? What are the loadouts of those? Are you constantly looking for loopholes?

KNF uses GMG or Kusari guns plus missles. We used nomad blasters for a bit but decided they were too far outside RP. So we went back to our class 9s and tried to incorporate the codies when we could.
Kusari weapons are among the worst in the game. Low range in most cases without a corresponding strength in another attribute. So either those two factions equip missles on their fighters to even the odds, or they upgrade their ships to gunboats (which is what KNF did, 3 VHFs turned into gunboats after Supernova had his little parade in Honshu with his missle cruiser.) You cannot compare the role play options of the Outcasts or the RM with those of KNF or SA, they are simply in two different categories in terms of faction weapon effectiveness.

So, I say balance all the guns in the game and I'd endorse a reduction in the ammo capacity of fighters and the addition of ammo requirements for cap ships (to a larger load though, 100 or so rounds I think.) I would also suggest making CMs take up cargo space, so that a player could choose a variety of munition loads. "Do I load heavy on CMs, so I can evade long enough to use my guns? Or do I leave off the CMs and do all missles?"

I'm just asking myself and the community am I sane or I have a wrong point of view or maybe my values in life are distorted somehow..?!?

I simply refuse to go down to your level and go out of RP just to win. And please don't give me the 'Because I can' argument. It wouldn't be a mob consensus if you'd play by common sense, that's Role Play.

Again, I'm not flaming anyone, maybe I used harsh words, but it's necessary, I want you people thinking about it and it's a known fact harsh words will attract the needed attention.
thank you for reading
/end rant, puts the papers down on the table and leaves the quiet room closing the door on his way out

Nightfall, without you here, Disco would be anarchy and equip to win all over the place. I know you feel like no one is listening to you but if you look at how the community has changed over the last 6 months you'll see the results of your influence. SA and KNF are direct results of your vanilla grounding philosophy: they fly faction ships only, they use faction/friendly guns and they limit themselves in how they interact according to their NPC alignment.

The "because I can" people are severly outnumbered now, and even some of them are starting to hear and believe the RP gospel.
