[quote who="unkn0wnx" reply="19" id="2125642"]Wow from flak to sci-fi movies review. LOL. [/quote] i bet it is because some sci-fi movies end up taking a lot of flak from sci-fi fans [e digicons]^_^[/e]
not even flak / hoshi combo spamming repair can survive mb [e digicons]:pout:[/e]
i want 2 dunov, 1 marza, 60 flak and 40 hoshi's. because, in the end, there is nothing better to stall, annoy and piss off an enemy than lots and lots of flak with a really hard-to-kill marza climbing to lvl 6 in the middle :p
i have seen 2 huge fleets (not at the same time, but in the same match) be almost utterly annihillated in a very short timespan against inferior forces thanks to a careful cleansing brilliance lineup + malice. i dont think that would work though except if, as in the case of that match the opponent was fighting on 2 fronts and had to go back and forth microing
I start screaming while smashing my keyboard into my screen, and use the mouse as a flail to hurt a random neighbour. Then i collapse in tears as i realize it will take a week and 20 000 nok to get a new computer to play sins on.
[quote who="Vespucci" reply="25" id="2123813"]So, as a matter of etiquette, when the other side starts saying gg, are you supposed to surrender or something? One of the players in my first actual game got pretty testy after he conceded. Ofc, I'm sure part of it was that it took me over an hour to figure out how to message them. [/quote] well, not necessarily. i have been in matches where it seemed obvious my team was going to loose, but we pulled throug
[quote who="AshBrewster" reply="19" id="2123218"]Whats amusing is that the op can't even spell 'Lose'. [/quote] you know there are two different english languages right? american english and british english. didn't you learn that at school, or were you sleeping in class? it is spelled correctly. (edit) sorry about this post, but i get somewhat vexed when someone randomly posts a completely irrelevant comment about spelling. see what i did there
O_O you can do that? *suddenly gets 500 wins on his stats*
in ffa though is the potential problem of 3 players allying up -_- grats on becoming good in the game. if i see you online i'll trick you into joining a team game with me [e digicons]:ninja:[/e]
[quote who="garv222" reply="4" id="2121015"]It's really quite petty and beneath you to go along with their game. You should just quit and let them delude themselves into thinking they're good. Then they can have some other people whoop their asses over and over until they get a clue and realize all that crap they pulled got them nothing but a meaningless statistic. [/quote] or, you could also say that not letting them pull that crap for fake wins until they get a clue
Today I joined a 2v2 against Knight of Nine and Free Lancer, on a custom map free lancer had made. there was 2 solar systems, and it took over 5 minutes to go from one planet to another (i'm not kidding). still, i thought "oh well, it's different from the ordinary maps at least." about 1 1/2 hours later, the enemy in my solar system was defeated while i was feeding my ally enough to keep his at bay. then i run my forces down to the other solar system which took at least 15-20 minutes
my tactic varies with every fight, if i play tec i sometimes do cobalt / hoshi, lrm / hoshi or flak / hoshi spam early on. my followup varies a lot as well, f.ex. a fast followup of kodiak's after the initial fleet is set up. of course, carriers are my friend as well but so far i've never spammed them. won't say i never will though :P
well, for the most part I don't fear experienced players too much, it can be fun to play against some. It starts sucking when you hit some of the elitists I've read about somewhere on this forum. Did a 2v2v2 today, teams was unlocked because a guy was worried someone might start in a system with an enemy (4 system map), and said to ally the person that started in your system. among my enemies were some "pro's" and a smurf, but my team actually managed to steamroll them.
i saw him online the other day. he had like 7 games and only 1 disconnect. or does he have several chars with similar names? :P
if you can't get out HC at the time, you could always get out LF's which is the hard counter against flak to tide you over until you get the big guns. You could also build a second or third capital. Flak barely do a thing on caps and HC. Even 30-40 barely scratches the paint. I am not kidding, a self repairing skarkovas can easily survive continued fire from dozens of flaks
i played a 1v1v1 game with an idlebot once, i kept stacking defence forces after i finally got the ball rolling on the guy i was fighting, wondering more and more wtf the green player was doing the more time passed. after over an hour he said in chat that he had just come back from walking his dog [e digicons]>:([/e] he spent all his stockpiled stuff to trench down something fierce too thank god i was tec so i could just novalith spam until he quit [e digicons]:blush:[/e]
last time i played advent i built a lot of destra's, and one of my allies said "stop building destra's. they are useless" [e digicons]#:([/e]
[quote who="Astax" reply="9" id="2115278"] Mines are fine too. They are not effective by themselves, so they are not something you can just spam to great effect. They cost jsut the right amount, and only dear mroe damage to your opponent than your wallet if they catch a group of ships. Wasting 4 mines to kill 1 flak is close to a wash. [/quote] in my last game, my ally lost a large fleet in a few seconds by jumping in on a heavily forti
[quote who="Astax" reply="14" id="2115402"] So by act of God, you start as TEC and turn into Vasari by mid game? [/quote] yes, the ways of God are mysterious. either that or i was feverish. it's probably the second, either that or i was actually advent and dominated some tec ships then a skarkovas [e digicons]8(|[/e] or it could be, that in fear of loosing i 1v1v1 myself on 3 laptops and really annoy
loosing a lvl 10 cap is like getting an arm or a leg lopped off at an inopportune moment. loosing 2 lvl 10 caps is like coming 5 hours late to work when your boss is waiting for you, because you were probed by an alien with a powerdrill. loosing more than 2 lvl 10 caps is like waking up one day to realize the last 50 years of a happy, fulfilled life was actually a dream. In reality, you're broke, impotent, live in a cardboard box and everyone hate
[quote who="love9sick" reply="16" id="2100417"]......what? .....TEC is the most common race I see everyone play as. We lack Devoted Vasari players. When I see Vasari it is usually skilled players that have their favorite race set as random [/quote] in my last game, there was 5 vasari players, and one random. not a lot of tec, that. well, the random guy became tec so i guess that counts :P
no matter what race i play, i never send LRM fleet anywhere without a solid flak support. but that's just because i'm paranoid. i am still a good person though, i swear [e digicons]:pout:[/e] sometimes i go really crazy and actually build 2 flaks for every 1 LRM i got. i'm not kidding, i've done it, when i started right next to an advent. you can imagine my annoyance when the guy only built illums. I thank thee God, for the Great Gift of Skarkovas [e digicons]
(edit) whoops double post
the most dangerous thing to any cap in the game is probably a vasari egg cap's nano disasembler coupled with a dozen or two lrm's with some phase missile research. and if the cap tries to escape.... grav bomb him with the egg of doom :) just my opinion, anyway
I absolutely love impulse, for some games it can take a while to find patches, for some older ones its even impossible since noone uploads them anymore (Baldurs gate games), or I find a patch but cant download it anywhere, later realizing because it's only for some new version of the game that costs more (The Witcher). With impulse, I just start the program, wait a few secs for it to search for patches, click a button and laugh a bit thinking about how easy it is compared to many
