Ah, of course! The acronym was not familiar, but I should have guessed it from the context.
I can undestand the lure of the leaderboard. It's a cool feature, but I can understand how it may encourage some unfortunate habits.

Voob is usually used a dregatory comment for people who consider themselves vets, by people who do not.
If you are in a dreg fig with everything, hit him with a couple dumb3s and it's over. Plus Belter ints suck. Other than that, instead of wasting a bunch of time trying to kill the hvy int in your fig (which you won't do, if he's a decent pilot), just double team him.

Roger on all that (except our missile tech was a bit shameful). I was in a gleeful mood and pretty much pounced on the @PK like a terrier. The whole topic was written up to reflect my happiness in being able to play Allegiance again. This isn't terribly serious /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

WTF? Bad missile tech!?!? you were DREG, they are the closest thing there is to a MISSILE FACTION.
whoever was commanding should probably be hit over the head, and then told to read Alleg Academy..
seriously, if you don't wanna use missiles go RIX.

Don't speak of things of which you know nothing about. Just because your commander doesn't know how to properly pimp out a belters interceptor, doesn't mean they aren't good.

Belter ints are my least favorite to fly. It's what I imagine dogfighting a jet fighter with a boeing 747 would feel like.

You suffer from a few problems though.
Commanders are too scared to go multiple techs. A belters commander who doesn't save up and push a sup instead of an op is well plain dull.
Belters ints with Sup GA's primarily Missile dmg/ship hull/agility are just sweeet! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
Dumb2 Hvy Ints end bombing runs big time.
Hull GA's allow belter's hvy ints to boost through mine field and actually live.
Ask Ozzy its true.

BUT I do agree, gimme a bios int anyday. They are like sex.

TA, the point of a belters int isn't to dogfight- it's to RAM.
Remember that and they become a lot more fun. Not effective, but fun.
