I didn't follow the CDT program too well. I'm fixing that by taking every single CDT/CDT-A course going out

- forgot to mount abs while bombing enemy base
- ran out of O2 in my pod
- had trouble finding the green doors in bases
- boosted full speed through a proxed aleph
- thought PPs are like normal probes with 5K range so spammed these everywhere

Doesnt that imply that being podded by an XT is a newbie mistake which therefore implies that XTs can only pod newbies?Kumquat wrote:QUOTE (Kumquat @ Apr 25 2009, 11:47 AM) Fixed
Hooray for my backwards logic!

- Ramming rock while in F3
- Flying to the wrong aleph with a bomber, ppl screaming at me but not noticing
- Building an Op in the home sector
- Misclicking for a tech con, with only one rock of that type in the enemy home sector...
- Forgetting to mount ABs in time when stealth bombing

Aside from the usual overboosting and flying into prox, I gave my teams plenty of frustration from the pilot seat of a bomber.
Some of my better moments:
-Spotting a probe up ahead, and trying to fly around it instead of waiting for a nan to go kill it. I got too close and got eyed anyway.
-Taking the default bomber loadout (2 racks of AB, 4 racks of ammo) to kill their garrison and end the game early. The team went on to lose after I saved the comm trouble by booting myself.
-(This is my personal best) After our op goes up next to an enemy sector and the team is screaming to bomb, I get the bomber and head out. Of course, I have to be sneaky and take an alternate route, never mind that the whole team is screaming at me and I'm eyed the whole way. I get killed by a camp when I finally get to their sector, and only then do I realize that the op was built 1k from the enemy aleph, solely for this bomb run.
I still don't like to fly bombers.

My bombers seem to have a super-sig code and a random explosion code. As soon as I launch, enemies come swarming and kill me.
It's got to the point that even in TP2 runs with everyone in bombers, I'll get a nan.
