What it Takes to Kill a Lane Hacker Light Fighter

[Vape]

EDIT: to help with anti capship stuff, the new Missile ship class im working on are dedicated for that, might be a detterant to capwhoring

@Sniper: talk to them - or make rules for warships within your territory. whatever - it would be OK if you dealt with it on a roleplay basis. - i guess you refer to capital ships that are used in an inappropriate manner. there are also capships out there, that are not in a clan and very well within RP in ny.



but its not hard to make it so that independent warships must not engage in any way unless the "official" forces allow it. if they are mercs - don t give them contracts, if they are villains, hunt them down in bombers, if they are just sitting in your way - tell the LPI to give them a ticket....



abour increasing firepower ...



not sure if that messes with the singleplayer. sometimes stations are hostile or assisting the player there - and increasing the firepower might well result in impossible missions. increasing the patrols - might help - but isn t the NPC population directly related to the player population? ( less players, more npcs < > more players, less npcs )



however, - i d like to have station / base guns increased to that of the battleship guns ( but i only mean military bases, not the common civilian bases ) ... leaves the issue that pirates often decide to remain neutral to those bases "cause it spoils their fun when they are shot by those that would shoot them when they were roleplaying" ( same goes for lawfuls in pirate enviroments )

but accusing the liberty forces for coming with waht they had at that time, and as it seems, they expected much more than 2-3 light fighters.... ( if thats true, they expected a whole LH fleet ) - its not up to the defender ( as they appeared to defend ) to choose the forces, its upon the attacker to use appropriate forces.

"Defending" Liberty in front of Buffalo.... hmm I think I will start defending Rheinland in front of Crete then. All the LH characters were lvl 50 and under...and yes it was the whole LH "fleet". Because LH are not a "fleet" and they are not fighting a "war". They are hacking trade lanes.

I have never seen the LH actually attack any police forces. They pirate and hack the trade lanes... and get attacked by the police.

At least last time the security force/navy attacked us at Beaumont with fighters.

@Duke nuke'm,
I can see a capship coming to protect traders by the planets/trade lanes, perfectly RP for me. But not going hunting LFs around in the Badlands.

-----
@Sniper
You already got my opinion on that... just keep two bombers online and you will be fine...*points at RM* - they actually need just one bomber + fighter

-----
@Dreygon
Yes that would be the solution... high lvl. pirate NPC patrols close to pirate bases. Normal NPCs flying everywhere could still be low level. Look at the Liberty navy NPCs.
--------

EDIT:
@blackdragon....

we didn't know they were in LFs..

Are you serious? You mean we were 4 GBs when all under lvl 50? And yes you HAD to use the chat screen to see we are there.

...piret blatently in one of the most well deffended systems in the whole game...

:lol: let me check..where did I pirate over a dozen of traders making more than 10mil... ehm... in NY with lawful liberty forces online

EDIT2:
@blackdragon... it actually was fun to "loose" I lost some 15 nanobots in the whole fight... most to crashing and some to sniper... now that's about 5k in credits. Poor bomber lost some 35bots and got two nuke hits.

What I was trying to prove flying around was that the "biggest stick" is not always the best. A fighter can dodge caps without fighter escorts indefinitely. Blocking them from protecting traders other places... and guess what.. when you leave the fight it is you that actually loose.

so sad that bounty hunter caps cant be so easly regluated jinx. as thay have security righst in the houses per the games story. but mercs and IMG and the like yes. oh and sniper sorry for ruining you pirficly good dog fight. but it is my job by my id to attack hostil forces where i find them. even if the local forces dont want me too.

---

If I die bury me with a rocket luancher, and a shotgun. I am going to have some house cleaning to do.

[blackdragon0083]

@ thors hammer.

i think you are missing the piont. we dont care. i heard that NY was under attack i confirmed that yes ther was a notabel LH presence in NY so i grabbed the bigest stick i could find to smite you with. and you know what i did. end of story you lost now stop trying to demonize becuse it was not fun to lose.

ok read throught the posts.

blackdragon, you need to chill with cap spaming.
Not sure what your rp is or how you fund these caps...but you need to suppliment houses, not take over the whole battle.
If you are a merc, fly bombers ands fighters with CD's....the general idea is for both parties to walk away saying dang good fight.
As for LH, its is easy to win when you are flying one of the fastest ships in the system against caps and bombers. Where were Patriots MK2's ?

[blackdragon0083]

chill with the cap spaming huh. yeha till three days ago ICO had only 2 caps a distroyer and a BC, now we got a dis and 2 BCS, we dont even deploy BSs but these days if you fly even one cap you are spaming. and no i wont stop thank you for te advice but figthers are boring stupid looking and too hard to play on dail up. oh and lastly the reason why we consist primarly of caps is becuse all of are eneamy send hunting partys after ICO ships on a reguler bases. these partys usuely consit of atleast a BS and support. so no we will not weakin areselves for sportsmenship.

Nowhere.. that's the point... only time I got killed since I fly the Slipstream was by a single Liberator. People just think capspam works better.

Well counter them in your caps.. you have a pretty big chance to die....counter them in bombers... and you will be quite safe.

but fighters are boring stupid looking and too hard to play on dail up

:lol:

EDIT: @blackdragon... I fly 4 bombers.... none for the LH.. as it needs two more promotions
