QQ at Keeper Marduk

[Hidamari]

Keepers.XXXXXX: ***(a feeling of heat fills the area, intense heat as though a million people were furious in unison)***
IMG|Nathanael: wow nice
Death: IMG|Nathanael was killed by Keepers.XXXXXX (Gun)

I will admit to that kill being a little quick, since it was a new system and the engagement rules are goddamn odd, plus there was an annoying templar just following me for no reason, i didnt want more people tailing me needlessly.

now, I appologised to him, he asked if he could stay in the system, i said yes, i paid him the money he would have lost from re-buying things from his death, none of which i had to do but feel compelled to when i think maybe i was a litle below the belt.

a similar situation happened in leeds not 20 minutes before that with Sepia reaver, we are in the smog cloud, i state my dislike at his/her presence near my ship, and cruised away, he follows me, we are in the smog cloud and the marduk is so big i cant see the front of the ship in the cloud, he was dodging fairly well for a while then he just stopped dodging and i killed him, now he was 2.4k away and i didnt know he was going to stop typing, he was mad at first but we talked and an understanding was reached fairly quickly, i also compensated him/her for their loss also but they returned it with a smile and all went well from there on.

your carrier was different, because you had a cap that was invulnerable to our ships while we were fighting other people, then suddenly solaris solaris solaris solaris solaris, now ok if we were all bombers with a chance fine fair enough shoot us. but really light fighters, with people constantly running to and from your ship when their shield goes down, not to mention Hood going absolutley APE **** next to you because of the ammont of people in range of the NPC battleship.

so you had to be destroyed and you had to be destroyed quickly, also none of the other keepers had a CD, so, there was nothing stopping you from cruising away, Zamaranum was on scanner for at least 3 minutes before i got to/ fired on you, due to the circumstances that

1. there was only going to be 1 chance to make that attack work.
2. we wanted you to explode right there rather than run away regen and return
3. you were next to a super chainfiring NPC battleship, shooting pulses at 8.33 solaris at 16.0 and battlerazors at 4.00

so there was more than enough there to cover your escape, we know from experiance that coming from eye level is a bad plan and rarely works unless there are loads of caps and CD's involved, and since we expected everyone to take down the marduk once it was spotted meant it was really more of a suicide mission, I never expected to escape with it which might be what made you even more mad.

So, I appologise for the way you are unhappy with this incident, but its done and over with now, and id like everyone to be friends and cyber with lots of lube and stuff k,

No grudges are held, it was a neseccary amount of RP for a necessary attack that had to be over nearly as fast as it started.

My appologies Jack.

Honestly .... Keepers=Aliens

Humans dun' like Aliens

Aliens dun' Like Humans...


Missiles Incoming.

Next time. Just RP retarded like they do.


Me..Henderson Anger ... Annoyance ...EVERYONE OPEN FIRE .

[r3vange]

[color=#FFFFFF]Why is it that whenever somebody says keepers they expect a super human pro-RP pro-PvP pro-Fairfight. Hello, wake up they are players just like you and are entitled to gank and be ganked the same way as you are

befriend the order, we will protect you:D

Forget Dublin, we can't dock on Hood,anymore.

Anyways.


Flamewalker/Jeremy_Hunter here. I didnt see the Marduk until it was too late too. And Zammy was nearly dead because of Hood. And its better than some molly barghest going KILL HIM after a OC tridente silent egages. One line of RP? I wish I had gotten such.

Its one battle tbh. An annoying one I was told. But no need for QQ. I QQ at how Marduk was OP. So I know kinda how you feel.


And people wonder WHY they use Voidrunners? Because of Solaris Zephyrs and all the ganks they get. They can use them. If you think Labraid needs a nerf, go QQ about it. Only way they can do much, those Labraids.

Anyways...

Thats my only words.

This.

Aliens do not quote shakespear, tell you their life stories, discuss the workings of human society or why the toast always lands butterside down.

They're aliens. Nomads gonna nom.

Well if they don't know, then God help us all.

As far as Marduks are concerned, they are the superior mind nodes. If one of them kills you, there is good enough reason. From what it sounds like, this was a battle. You die in those.

I QQ at how Marduk was OP.

i would like you to know that the Rheinland Battleship AND kusari batteship are BOTH much more OP than a Marduk.

A Rheinland battleship could seriously bitchslap a Marduk if they both flew at each other guns blazing,

A Kusari battleship can Kite at 1k distance and can tank the crap out of anything at the same time, and has only 100k less health with the same plant.

Marduk can shoot 20 times that is it, dry as a desert and has to spit feathers for a while or stop shooting completely. only 11/12 of its guns can shoot forwards, it only has 1700 bots/bats and the KU/RM bs both have 2000.

so, its far far far from OP.

Marduk has weapons that do damage quickly but sustained fire is impossible, I was talking about this with Joe the other day, and we both agreed, that saying marduk is op is just silly compared to these two ships.

you get 20 seconds of firepower from the marduk and puff puff, all done.

if a Marduk had the manueverability of the Kusari battleship, the same amount of guns, and the same amount of bots and bats, then maybe you can say then that its OP.

if you want to see OP, get a Wild Ku/Rm BS... theres your OP tech.:P

Crap, I typo'd badly. I meant QQ'd. I since learned how it wasnt as OP as I thought (but it raped the Sajuuk so quickly that day, I couldnt believe it..then again, I was still a noob).

And yeah. I know the RMBS can beat the Marduk. I don't listen to Anne and other RMBS owners talk for nothing (sun)

Oh yea, also Marduks have -No- long range weaponry, at all, period.

if whatever the marduk is shooting doesnt die before its out of energy then there is little hope it actually will destroy the target.

I vote for Grand Singularity Cannon, heavy mortar for nomads (ci)

or just make nomad primarys longer range than human primarys to make up for the lack of any long range attack.

so lets recap

1. it cant dodge imo due to its size,
2. has to be in range of -all- human battleship weapons to do any damage at all which means to do damage it has no choice but to take damage at the same time.
3. has less HP than the other ships its size
4. weapons drain so much energy that it can only shoot for 20 seconds (this 20 seconds is at stand still fire, with energy being diverted to shields too its actually even less more like 16 times)
5. it has 15 guns max, only 11 can shoot forward anyway.
6. it has 1700 nanos opposed to 2000 like other ships its size.


so, in short, buff marduk.

Nothing is OP , everything is the way as they suppose to be.
( Excluding the miss use of some stuff )

[Treewyrm]

So a marduk (!) sneaking up at you pants down has startled you that much? Now that's a Q_Q worthy subject indeed, good sir.

On a second thought blabbering about "how epic it could have been" is kinda pointless, cause there ain't anyone to read your mind unless you express it beforehand (and they keyword there is "before", not "after"). In fact I'm not even sure there is anything but an attempt to paint it devil, a forum-served vengeful thread. Cool story bro. Like noted above some want nomads to recite Shakespeare prior to "engaging", others want them to gun down everything in sight, one truly can't please everyone where all desires are mutually excluding and contradicting at the base. So you get bits of this and bits of that, sometimes this and sometimes that.
