Recently I've been reflecting on how Allegiance's learning curve embodies the human condition: the ceaseless struggle, the cycles of growth and decay, the absurdity of age and time, the constant yearning and passion in the face of inevitable futility and death.
Defending bases:
Stage 1: Clueless. Flies in circles while the base is bombed/capped. Gets booted.
Stage 2: Discovers minimap. Helps to defend the base. Yay!
Stage 3: Discovers afterburners. Overboosts past the bomber/HTT while the base is bombed/capped. Gets booted.
Stage 4: Discovers backthrust and timing. Learns not to overboost, and helps to defend the base. Yay!
Stage 5: Discovers ramming. Overboosts past the bomber/HTT while missing a ram. Gets booted.
Stage 6: ??? Nirvana ???
