Another Hypothetical Scenario

[Fletcher]

Let me be honnest with you FLetcher: that would suck.

Also, I dont see why if CDs gotta be total fail against GB missiles, and capspam is not really wantef, then GB missiles gotta be unlimmited.

You wanted someone to say that, didnt you?

Oh I enjoy all opinions in these little banters I start, some a very constructive and have lead to new ideas, I think.

I'm unsure about the effectiveness of CD's against gunboat missiles since I never target them, I only use CD's to stop people from running, hitting mines and stopping capitals from 'kill'n'turn' tactics. Gunships love that manoeuvre so much.

Spam of ALL kinds is generally either good or bad, it depends on the situation at hand. Capspam is generally frowned upon, but that is another matter entirely.

Capital ship missiles have always been unlimited, as has bomber weapons. I'm unsure why you'd point that out in that way, but it could be me failing to see the point.

Also, I don't 'predict' what people are generally going to say, and I don't want to people to post things that I want to see. That isn't free speech or the point of a forum.

EDIT:

AAAAAAAAA SWARM MISSILE PODS!

But nah, I wouldn't like it. Regardless of energy consumption, it's still a hell of a lot of missiles, even with unlimited CMs.

Swarm missile pod mod was hilarious though.

That aside, I can see people spamming them, but this means that their accuracy will be heavily impaired by those with guns, and the server being angry. (Laggy). Let's face it missiles are a gamble.

CM autofire? Please enlighten me Mr Mudd about how it's done. Those without 7 buttoned mouses always glad to remap a key to something more useful.

Ahh and on the topic.. Unlimited CDs? I'd smile on the ever-growing 'nerf the CD's, pirates never run out of it like the NPCs!' tread. And I would do Dagger-piracy again. I could not -harm- a transport, but being constantly CD-ed and unable to use the lanes is enough to convince one to contribute a bit.

You go on the gun menu on the right hand side of your screen.

You click the tab that says "Countermeasure Dropper" until it says green, then whenever you fire - You fire off a CD as well.

Funnily enough Evangelist, when I had Albert Wint - Some pirate just rammed me and tried to flee... Somehow the local battleship when trying to hit me fired pulses on him plus a razor.

Dagger pirating is awesome.

4.84 Missile boats comes to mind.

Seriously, if this was done, everyone will ditch guns for missiles, I mean everyone. But hey, this will at least decrease PVP duration.

It might decrease PVP duration. But I think that would depend on the server-load. Missiles don't always track properly when there's a full 200 players online.

So if, as you say, everyone would switch out guns for missiles, then no one would be able to hit anything. PVP would go on forever.

Let's keep this hypothetical, shall we ?

[Zukeenee]

I am. I'm just sayin' that if it happened, lag would still be an issue. A pretty big one. After all, the Swarm Missile Pods were removed because of it.
