Belters Exp Part II

[WhiskeyGhost]

The dumbfires are fine as is, it let's ints spike targets even better, I say give em nan capability in the first slot for the regular int, but let it have half the energy reserve/regen that the hvy int has. Yeah, you could int nan, but you'd run out of energy REALLY fast if you don't conserve it.

The aim is to not make Belters Ints more useful, but more fun. Things like agility, acceleration, mass reduction.

That depends on amount of energy an int has. Since that energy is not useful for anything else than nan (if there'd be one), you can tweak it without breaking anything.

You're running away from it. And if you're not running away from it, then you don't have enough of a range advantage. And the missle hits you. Ergo seekers will always hit you in a dogfight if properly locked, unless you CM them or make your CM hit the missle.

You're not getting what I'm saying. I'm saying sidethrust while holding booster button. You can do that while still shooting at the enemy. You must do it all the time, right? When I was taught how to dodge missiles in this way, the teacher, a very well known whore, called it "sidethrusting" so I'm sorry if you don't understand my terms, but I figured it wasn't a stretch that sidethrust + booster button = sidethrust. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

QUOTE (Abomination @ Sep 24 2008, 11:53 PM) Also, sidethrusting while boosting away from a missle helps very little, if at all. It probably actually hinders you. In addition, the concept of a fig outboosting a missle is laughable at best, without heavy boosters.

Only scouts sometimes try to sidethrust to avoid dumbs to their rear when being chased by a fig with a proper er vector on him. And even then, it doesn't help much.

Ok you're scaring me. I have sidethrusted to avoid seekers in a scout successfully on many occasions, let alone a fighter sidethrusting + boost... I mean this is dogfighting 101... maybe I should just stop posting in this forum.

I'm cool with that, so long as it doesn't give belts an unfair advantage.
