3: NC, TR and Vanu

Sundies are a lot slower than galaxies, not to mention they cant take the direct route.

[kaian-a-coel]

Is there any way to reverse Q/E and lateral mouse movement effects? As in, having Q/E for rolling and the mouse to "look around" instead of rolling? I'm used to this way of piloting, and having the rolling on the mouse really get on my nerves sometimes.

[da_nang]

You're not the only one. I've yet to find a way. A quote from the PS2 forums:

In an interview, John Smedley called Mouse-Yaw flight scemes and the people who want them "ret arded"

Not sure if that statement's true, but I'll be damned if it is.

[sluissa]

Honestly, the way they have it set up is probably the best way to do it, just get used to it or get a gamepad/joystick.

I'm still waiting for the day they let galaxies carry vehicles. They'll come back into good use then, I think. For now though, yeah, galaxy usefulness has somewhat declined. Still good for organized squads. Very few things can defend against an organized gal drop, at least for the initial surprise portion, but for the general public, not so much.

[Leonon]

Galaxies are pretty good for dropping snipers in places snipers can't normally get to.

[Glowcat]

Galaxies are plenty useful right now if your drop team sticks together and has a medic/engie to get people back up on their feet and full of ammo. You could also bring an infiltrator and hack their vehicle terms for some behind the lines vehicles/sunderers. Being able to flank the enemy is a sizable advantage.

Well, we captured a tech plant on Amerish for the final push to own it with Duuvian. Sadly, the platoon who had orgiginally taken it soon re-arrived, killing us all. Last thing i saw before I ragequit logged out was 5 sundies leaving from the tech plant. So close.

Also, fuck the VS at Indar. Indar is the property of the NC and the TR and nobody else.

E:

Nearly forgot to post my most hilarious kill of the day:

I was following Duuvian's squad on a flash, and we arrived at the next base. I spotted a vanu MAX. I drove into him, got off my flash and fired a rocket at the flash, exploding it and killing the MAX. I love this games sometimes.

[Werdna]

Just an FYI, upgrading the Magrider chassis makes them ride higher off the ground, and they become much less lethal to teammates (and enemies).  I have 2 certs in Rival Combat Chassis and I rarely kill anyone by contact, and ride high enough that Lightnings tend to squirt right under me in a collision.   Losing the 'mower' capability would normally make me cry, but the crazy terrain capabilities with the Rival chassis upgrade makes it more than worth it.

[Flying Dice]

So you're having a blast flying shotgun to a somewhat competent Liberator pilot, killing shit left and right, landing to repair the thing, good times overall. Then you want to reload your chaingun but accidentally press E instead plummeting to your death like a parachuteless egg.

:C

THIS THIS FUCKING THIS.

I don't know how many times I've been in a fight and accidentally ejected while going for a reload or something else in that area of the keyboard. Made worse because half the time my keybindings only stick as long as I'm logged in.

[miauw62]

Keybinds are majorly fucked up. It's perfectly possible with default settings to have multiple functions bound to one key. (aka, w for squad chat and forward, since i use azerty as azerty comes with my laptop.) But non-default keybindings, like roll left and spot enemy? Nope.

[olemars]

Just a reminder that this form is still a thing (I think).

Would be nice to have this in the OP.

I gather Mattherson is the place to be as NC?
Anyone else feel like there is about twice the number of servers needed for the current player base? Don't think I've ever seen a server at high player count, most peak at medium. Even then there is rarely enough players to have heavy action on more than one continent at a time, which usually means Indar.

[miauw62]

Nah, it's fine like this. There are generally enough players to make me lag a bit.

[da_nang]

Oh the joys of being spawncamped by air and tanks... Not.   

[Glowcat]

When you're being spawncamped and have absolutely no chance to get some kills with a suicide rush... spawn somewhere else. Saves you a lot of frustration.

[Jopax]

Ever had trouble defending the crown?

I just did, firstly ignoring the fact that for most of the evening NC had the fewest players online. Secondly the turrets on the main tower might not even exist for all they're good. The AA one facing north is completely useless since anything can simply park under it's maximum depression and fill you with rockets without fear of retaliation. The southern one on the other hand is bugged, being destroyed and irreperable. The same is true of the AT turrets, the northern one can't be repaired the one facing the barracks really can't shoot anything but idiots who decided that cover is for cowards. One facing south is marginally useful because once again depression is too low to actually aim at anyone on the approach.

Add to this constant drop pods because of fucking beacons, infiltrators hacking consoles next to spawn sundies without anyone noticing and you've got one hell of a fight.

I had a feeling the major offensive which netted us almost half the map would soon fall apart :C
