Damn shame. All those useless pods floating away on a cool breeze. And getting shot by people who pride themselves on getting people home as quick as possible. Thank you pod killers. You are my heroes.

Take a space sim with the teamplay of Tribes and a dash of Starcraft for the command view and you *begin* to have the gaming monstrosity that is Allegiance. My only advice is:
RUN!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND DON'T LOOK BACK!! MSR WILL 0wnzz0r J00!! AAAAARGH!!!!!!

They zoom in, kill a couple things, then zoom back when they're damaged. This is just what ints were designed to do, and the sterotypical intwhore has become very good at it. What they have NOT become very good at is CHECKING their LOADOUT before they launch. Takes half a second, and it quite worth the effort to HAVE the light boosters for those that know how to use them.

Lead a bomber group in with a carrier. The bomber and nans can then dock through the carrier on the way to the base if they got damaged at the aleph. Nice to get those med 3 shields back up to max on the way in. Will cause a temp stoppage of the turrets though.

Nerve gas missles can and will capture any base once its shields are down. You can take out the shields of teleports,refineries and special mines without blowing it up with 1 cruise mk1 missle. Meaning Belter cruisers can capture not only outposts and tech bases but if they fire 1 cruise missle at a giga special mine and then fire a nerve gas missle at it...you can capture it and receive the money and use it as a rip.

Even though I was playing a ridiculous amount of alleg at the time, I completely missed this side of the game, due to my youth and my parents' paranoia of the Internets (not entirely unfounded). It's neat to see how much things have and have not changed.

As probably one of the best "Sneaky Bastard" Stealth pilots around. (no brag, just a little fact, ask any comm) It is very hard to defend against a good stealth pilot. Especially one who stays just within missle range and is constantly moving. But....I get my butt waxed the most by a few hardcore players. Finally found out how, so I'll pass it on. SCOUTS, not fighters for defense of miners first off. Second, make a defender marry a miner. Back and forth the whole trip. Last, MRM's, not SRM's. Huh? you say! Found out that is how they were wasting my butt, especially in belter s/f. For some reason the new MRM's are stronger. They tell me they load almost all missles to defend with. It takes almost a full load, but they have been killing on regular basis if i try to stay out LR and use missles only. Usually takes 2 scouts to do this.
