Plus if nobody knows who you are and you keep commanding (and losing), your reputation will go down the drain and you'll have a hard time picking up the pieces in the future if you want to command when you get more skill.

Motion and advice seconded. Please try to go through Cadet, as great as you think you are. It'll really help with commanding and playing the game.

TF is a really tough faction to learn to command with. If you're gonna keep trying to command then use Belters. It's easy, powerful, and forgiving of mistakes.

But taking Cadet will teach you all kind of things you didn't even know you didn't know. It's really the way to go.

Should i take offense to that?

No, cuz if you were absorbing reputation you'd be pro right about now!

micooltnt, just by looking at the kind of questions you asked i can tell you can barely distinguish a techbase from a fighter.

get in the main game, play the REAL allegiance, focus on learning how to be useful instead of commanding because you can't possibly know what you are talking about right now.

Just as an in game report, I asked him to D my tele in a game (that I lost). Well, I asked the whole team, and Giovanni and I think Lan showed up. Lovely. Anyways, the point is when I asked him what he was doing, his response was "I tried but it's hard to DF in a stealth"

We... were belters. We may have even had enhanced figs up at the time.

MiCoolTNT: take cadet. Take cadet2. Please.

Yeah I can command my way into a paper bag. `4!

(on the off chance my pilots actually listen to me, of course

)

Those paper bags are indeed a fearsome foe, you're lucky you can command into them after a few months! It took me at least a year before I invented my paper bag destroyer so I wouldn't need to command my way OUT!

djrbk's solution to commanding your way out of a paperbag:

Step 1: Wet paper.
Step 2: Poke hole.

Alternate option, if paperbag chooses some alternate techpath, like say... Grease coating, apply a lit match. (caution, this may backfire)
