Miners

To begin with, and to save Ozzy the effort, this post belongs in the rant forum.

That said;

About six times in the past week I have seen someone (and by someone I mean "someone who I thought before this was a graduate of Cadet, at least") walk up to an enemy miner, sniff it, say hello, and then let it live. Go dogfight a newbie. Pick up a pod. Probe, maybe!

IF I SEE IT ONE MORE TIME I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHING HORRIBLY VIOLENT.

Miners are your first mother$#@!ing priority, people. If you want to win the goddamned game, you kill the bloody miners. Is that perfectly mother$#@!ing clear? You do NOT stop shooting the miner. You KILL THE $#@!ING MINER. I don't know how else to say this.

KILL MINERS.

And please please please please please please please

don't use dis 3 on a miner. I know the weapon looks sweet and all, but it doesn't work.

Rip scout, need fighters, 200 from miner, fighter rips in and goes to dogfight, quit in disgust.

But the fig had 3dis1's loaded, he wouldn't have scratched the miner!

also if you have no ammo, ram the miner, chances are they will send it home or get some players to D it when they hear "miner under attack" and see me next to it

its quite amusing stopping several miners from mining with a fig with no ammo and no home rip

Your e-peen is truly astounding mad, especially considering the only person who considers you such a threat in your fig is you.

If I'm in a scout in early game, in a sector next to his home, and spot a miner, I will do all I can to stop his mining, but the only time I will attack the miners outright is when I came prepared to do so. On my initial scout run, I take a full load of probes, minus 1 for nan and 1 for a prox.

There's almost no way I'll get a miner in that situation, and only approx 1 out of 10 times does anyone get a fig/int/patty and come help me kill it.

I'll bounce it, but attacking it rarely helps (unless there's a fig/int/patty right there with me)

If someone lets me know they're on their way even, I'll get started and hope they make it in time, but I call out miner locations in pick up games, and it usually doesn't do any good.

Maybe I just play at the wrong times.

And you talk about dick sizes?
I have seen plenty miners die to madpeople.
