What fuel nerf? The lxy's fuel was brought up to the same level as the heavy int in cc_05.

Please stop posting here.

For the rest of you: The Lxy has a lead indicator, a ripcord (which does by the way come in handy), and extra hull. I'd like to consider a small ammo or hull perk as well because Giga has 0.85 hull, but I have not been disappointed with the new lxy int at all.

Is it worth $500? Maybe not entirely, but you're definitely getting some bang for your buck.

Apologies for missing the change. Human error.

But if you are serious about the latter part, I will.

As I said before, because they have slightly wimpier than average hull to begin with, the lxy perk and the gunmount perk seems to put them on par with everyone else's ints, but actually because the accel is so low (giga faction stuff) they're still kind of a pain to fly. I would suggest (personally) an agility perk rather than ripcord, as well as perk ammo and hull.

The other day went giga exp and bought accel 2, they lxy ints werent bad. In fact i got lots of kills thanks to lead indicator.

Or maybe it was because i was using my pilots as fodder while I got in the furball after to get the kills.

My primary reason for getting lxy ints is for the gun mounts, the rip ability is secondary. (oh, and the extra hull is nice too , I never cared much for the old fuel difference - I never actually noticed a difference in game )

Tbh the gun mounts reason is more a problem with the hvy int. (they suck enogh to warrent spending 500 to fix them if we have the cash)

I say, fix the hvy int mounts, make the lxy something better, although 4 guns would be getting over powerd since coms often are able to hand out quite a few of them (maybe if they cost $750)

oh look, we're back to talking about gun mounts in the gun mounts thread

OK, fine... lxy ints don't suck ass anymore. I agree the ripcord is a really useful ability in the right situations... imagine tp1'ing 5 or 10 ints and a bomb run to an enemy sector 4 alephs away when you're turtling... they don't expect ints to be in sectors far from their bases... so many miners have died to 1 int being 4 sectors from his base waiting for that miner with no d...

Anywho, I really like the lxy int gunmounts, but yeah the regular hvy int ones piss me off, with such weak hull they should at least be able to hit the same target with all 3 guns (since ints are supposed to be up-close-and-personal fighters right?)... I can deal with bios mounts because bios have other redeeming qualities - like double minepack space on figs and a hvy cloak (!) but giga... they are oragami. They should be able to at least nick a vein...
