There are a lot of players who have built their reputation on it. With TF mass/accel and the TF int hitbox it got to be a total joke.

I think the real problem is combining the accel GA plus the reduced mass results in the 40%+ increase in acceleration. The reduced mass itself leads to a 25% perk to accel. This is exacerbated when you look at TF exp, where basic ints (using booster 1) have an accel in excess of 86. Adding in accel GAs push that to over 100. Even lagtastic EoR ints had a boosting accel less than 100.

Combine that with TF ints' slender profile, people tapping booster keys, and laggy servers....and you have this thread

Bios ints have reduced mass that (eventually) results in an accel profile similar to TF ints, but Bios ints also have a MUCH more generous hitbox and frequently mount heavy cloak in lieu of the sweet accel.

Listen to papa Pidgeon, and note how the reduced mass is a bigger part of the problem than the accel perk. Just give the stupid things 100% mass and see if anything more is needed.

My question:

Where is the cockpit in a TF int? Where does the theoretical person sit? Are they a race of ridiculously skinny people who fit into toothpick sized cock pits?

Questions to ponder...

lol.
TF are supposedly a "race" of Sentient AI's in Vege's somewhat garbled backstory......

Some day I'll re-write that backstory so it it no longer causes brain cramps.

But yes, they are supposed to be self-aware machines.

Interesting...

Thus the tiny-ness.

I think what we can conclude is that if there were ever a real war between the factions of Alleg, TF would probably come out on top, simply because they are better.
