Really been having so much fun the last two hours.
I managed to get about 2 kills because every time i'm about fire my third and final shot, the game froze.
It was really great, I'm so glad it wasn't just a fluke the first 10 times it happened.

Just in case I don't get any responses on PS2, what do you guys think of this idea? (Warning: Is long and contains maths. But it has pictures to give you a general idea of what's going on.)

[Siquo]

Did you play PS1?

Did you play PS1?

Subscription. Couldn't afford it, I'm afraid.

Anyways, I added some revisions to the idea.

[Siquo]

PS1 had dynamic capture XP based on the number of defenders in the area for the last X minutes.

There was so much stuff in PS1 that they should've just used, so many years of learning that they threw out the window...

So remember how we were talking about drop pods way back when PS2 was announced, and possibly using them as instruments of destruction?

Well, I landed my drop pod on an enemy sunderer a few days back. It got away without a dent. I did not. 

I managed to splash an enemy reaver with a drop pod.  I sadly did not survive the drop, but it was worth it the way the NC was buzzing us that day.

I've taken out a lib before.  It took me out too, but it was totally worth it.


Was about 30 feet short of a Gal last night- that would have been awesome.

I landed on a galaxy. None of us were damaged.

For the maths link, one problem would be an increased reward for stupid eternal stalemate battles (read; the motherfu****g Crown). Weighting kills is not a solution. The real problem is that kills rewards a shitton of XP, and capping nearly none. I'm not even speaking about defending.

I think that is also related to continent capping lacking any substantial benefits.

I think that is also related to continent capping lacking any substantial benefits.

This is one area where the cappable warpgates/warpgate chains had a real benefit.  Maybe when there are more than three continents...

[kaian-a-coel]

Also a problem is the "I'll go where my faction is strong", leading to a repartition of 1 continent / faction. But that will be fixed when pop-related XP boost will be based on continent pop rather than on server pop (next patch or something).

So, I was curious about sniping and I just didnt like playnig the regular sniper much due to no jetpack. I think to myself, hey, why not get yourself a shotgun with slug ammo and a scope. I look up online and some other folks tried it and say it works so I go ahead and do this.

Grabbed the NC Sweeper, slug ammo, and the 3.4x scope. Jetpack into awesome spots, and win. I was able to 2 shot all sorts of non-heavy dudes. Definitely a fun way to play, you can also just jump down in the close quarters and use that shotgun for some devastating action. Slug ammo means you have to line up the shot better but you could just swap out for regular ammo if thats a problem for you. I think its good practice.

There ya go, sniper with a jetpack.

I'm wanting to buy a shotty for my NC guy, but IDK wich one I should pick. Any recommendations?

[PTTG??]

Man, I really hate the way team damage works in this game. I see cloaking distortion and I check for a nametag. Nothing. So I start firing and pounding Q- and of course I don't "spot" them because they're cloaked. Then I realize that he's standing around a bunch of allies. I stop firing and he decloaks- and he's largely painted white, with a few scattered blue specks. He sprays me with bullets from something and I have to go respawn at my sunderer, then he chews me out for not recognizing his invisible blue markings.

Yeesh.

Honestly, if someone kills me over a mistake like that, I'll go kill them right back. I treat people the same way when they accidentally shoot me - I'm fine as long as you don't keep going after the initial, loud and very noticeable warning.


As for shotguns, I recommend going with the high capacity one. You get more 2 more bullets per clip, which is an extra kill if both hit. This wouldn't be such a big deal, but it also increases your total ammo, which is pretty important most of the time. The automatic shotgun is a great way to waste ammo when you panic, since aiming and going semi-auto is better in most cases - The slow rate of fire makes it unpredictable when you're just firing away. The other one simply has a tighter shot spread (As in, the shot itself, not your aim). I don't know how much tighter, but I'm sure two extra bullets is worth more than having a slightly better range in this case.

I've been waiting for one of the shotguns to go on sale so I can drop some SC on it, but they keep on insisting on putting hood ornaments on sale. Figures.
