Bad call

[Wesker]

I agree. I don't believe that that is a bug in any way. There is no gravity, so when you EK aka turn off your engines you'll drift away in the direction you were going to, and since you're not using any power for the engines your power core will recharge.

Blaming your incompetence and lack of CDer in a cap fight on someone who knows more techniques than you isn't really how it goes.

Just 2 cents from someone who used to be good in caps

thanks

I should've added you and Snoopy on the list sorry bae <3

Huh... so... caps regain energy when drifting in EK after Cruise? Huh. Interesting. That being sad, it kinda does make sense. No force in space to stop you, after you EK, so it makes sense you keep moving... EK movement is perhaps the closest thing to reality we actually have in disco

Shame snubs doesn't regain the energy though...

It works on any shipclass including snubs

Not really. No ship begins to regen core in EK directly after cruise, unless there is a tap of thruster or strafe is in between, the ship will keep drifting with lowered powercore. As battleships lack a thruster it's obviously a tap of strafe in this case. That is the full trick.

I just learned something new. Thank you.

Have we finally reached an admin team that doesn't do pvp in any form?

P.S. Now to add something constructive. I hope the admin team is also aware of the tactic of EK'ing out of cruise catch up speed that was quite popular before we got different cruise speeds and you had no other way to catch up on cruising into system wall transports but to form up from EK to someone and just before you lose the catch up speed break formation and enjoy the slingshot effect of those extra 15 m/s or so.

I'm with Wesker on this one

This "outrageous cheat" or "harmful exploit" has been around for as long as the cruise drain thing.
Warning Wesker about that means you should warn more than half of the active player base...
If it's such a big problem, I'm sure a FL Hook plugin can be made which would easily disable energy regen above a given speed...

It's been around forever yes and always a source of debate whenever it popped up. I'm not surprised one bit to see this topic once again.

Alley was right.

Using EK to cruise up and slowly let your core reload, isn't an exploit. However, using the same method with additional deactivation of your shield to instantly reload your entire power core, is an exploit and should be fixed.
