You guys are missing the point. The whole excitment behind this game is defending against a surprise bomb run! Imagine all that glory when you single handedly stop a 10 nan bomb run that pops through the aleph 1.5k away from your garrision. Instant GOD-HOOD status I tell you.

There should also be no reason a Bios commander loses all of his miner in the first 10 minutes of the game. Or gets bombed with no warning too right? Good.

I don't think I've ever seen you defending my miners. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

All I leanred from this is the best place to probe is in a straight line behind 2 alephs and not off plane or behind rocks.

Thanks ozzy!

SC tower are unable to eye SFs, SBs or BIOS Scouts. 2000 m scanrange is not enought to spot all @#(! 1000 m away from you. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

I always probe all of my home alephs before scouting the map because they might have stealths.

I will always probe in a straight line if I am the only one probing. Sometimes something is better than nothing.

I only probe when nobody else will do it. (always)

I declare Tuesdays to be VETS DON'T HAVE TO PROBE DAY. All other pilots below vet rank shall probe when needed.

Thank you and I approve of this message.

Too bad for tf there is no more of that one frame of eye when going through aleph.

If you can't remember the last time you spent at least half the game probing, deprobing, on miner/con d etc...

your the typical Allegiance player

Team play, many people expect it but few do it.

The 100% sig at entry allows them to eye you long enough to send a couple or more shots you. If you are an SF/SB, you'll be in a pod in 3 seconds.
