GC VHF - Axe Zye - 05-18-2009
To go right around: The GC VHF, the blossom, and it's strengths (or lack thereof)
To put it in a single sentence:
The blossom is beaten by the eagle in every single aspect
That is, all possible stats. The eagle DOES have more subgroups and a larger hull surface, it also looks cool, but it can't be denied that this ship definately lacks some power. Nobody with a sane mind will use it for anything but RP.
It's no suprise that all the GC NPC's flying around prefer the eagle to their homemade fighter: Their ship is simply worthless.
Will that do or must I add some sexism accusions?

Quote:The blossom is beaten by the eagle in every single aspectNot true.
Fact: GC VHF has the same gen as the Eagle
Fact: GC VHF is much smaller than the Eagle
Fact: Eagle has *Slightly* better turning
Fact: Eagle has 2 more class 10 slots - I use the faction guns so I couldn't care less
I can't confirm this for a fact but I'm pretty sure GC VHF has better strafe than the Eagle.
The weapons are also alot closer together on the GC VHF, makes for easier aiming.
GC VHF is a great ship.
EDIT: What am I saying? BUFF PLZ!1

what about boosting all ships to nomad lf agility with mjolnir powerplant and nanos/batteries from repair ship??????
people common, this is rp server some stats on some ships are better, some not....
GC VHF - Blackstarr - 05-18-2009
I agree with Axe ..... yes ... sure .. this server is an RP server ... but i belive in a little something called RP-PVP. Yes RP can be created with PVP ( omgawd no?! ) yes.... it can.
The GC ships have had poor balance from the start. I would love to see them have a buff. They have been beaten horrendusly by AFA and KSP pilots in every fight i have been in battle with. (And it isnt just me dieing either... some of the best pilots i have known in the GC die in the GC ships while they would not have died if they were using say,.. a Eagle, or RC)
Buff plz?
GC VHF - Jinx - 05-18-2009
wether or not a ship needs a buff needs to be reviewed from as many perspectives as possible. that is why in a testing enviroment - the suggestion is to :
- player 1 uses ship A to fly against player 2 in ship B ... at least 3 times
- then both players swap ships - now player 1 uses ship B and player 2 uses ship A ... again at least 3 times.
- additionally to the 1 vs. 1 tests, there should be several 2 vs 2 or 4 vs. 4 tests to simulate a group battle enviroment.
i doubt any of those wanting ship improvements have conducted such balance tests ( - and yes, those tests were done during the closed beta )
but at the very least - what is direly needed is how the people on the receiving end of the GC ships consider their battle-value. - if the KNF says "yes, we have had many pvp battles against the GC and it turns out that they do possess a similar skill, but their ships are a lot worse than ours" - THEN there s a good reason to change something.
the faction that owns a ship and uses it is - while of course trying to be objective .... - still usually biased.

' Wrote:the faction that owns a ship and uses it is - while of course trying to be objective .... - still usually biased.I'd just like to point out that Blackstarr is also in KNF so I doubt what he says is bias. Buffing the GC ships (and bomber needs it much much more than the VHF in my opinion) would not really help him, but make it harder for him to fight us.
GC VHF - Zelot - 05-18-2009
ZOMG, it's the Anti-Cat, amazing has the same faction goes from having the most uber ship to a ship they dont like.... I call it irony.
Edit: Sorry, that may have seemed a bit rude. But I will point out that the AFA had the best ships in the game used against it all the time last version, and our rp AND pvp didnt hurt for it.

Christ... stop complaining and play the game.
People on this server are worse than the Players who get killed in Counter-Strike, then accuse their killers of hacking because they died.

In fairness, everyone who's ever killed me in disco was definitely cheating.
