' Wrote:My fondest memory of that sort of thing is from... Kane, he pwned my arse with his Osiris doing that.

This is because Kane and Korrd are the server capship gods..

And to make this not a one-liner..

"wow, alot to read here. I think I'll stay out of it."

Master of the spamage, IMO
Sounded like good advice to me, one I shoulda taken myself.

There's a hellava lot worse spammers around than MrSns.

Sounds fine to me, I've used it lots of times and hasn't failed yet, most people think they can out run u, but so far they were all wrong....:laugh:

I honestly thought this was illegal.

Admins please answer these questions:

1)Can I cruise/Ekill and fire on another player who is in cruise

2)Can I cruise/Ekill and fire on another player who is NOT in cruise. Example speed bombing-in order to increase the accuracy of a torpedo shot a person enters cruise outside of his targets range, evades while closing to within weapons range, lines up on the target, kills engine and fires. Then evade until out of weapons range and repeats...

3)how will we prove a person is in cruise when the question arises? Screenshots?

For the ^$#&@423643593465723455 43%$^$%^%th time:

1.) YES
2.) NO
3.) YES, even better if you make a movie

[sarcasm]HTH! Or do I repeat once more, I don't mind really... [/sarcasm]

I thought Nussebull was better than Kane. Opinion only of course based on a small number of confrontations.


Cruise - Engine kill - Dab - 05-17-2007

The only BS you'll ever see Nussebull in is an Osiris. And I can slaughter in that thing. Stick Nussebull in a Zoner Jugg or Outcast Dread and have him fight one of those two. Oh, did I mention two AW-alliance cruisers beat the stuffing out of Nusse's little Osiris? Not even Liberty ones either.

Then please cut and paste that into the rules, or we will continue having this debate...over and over...

Oh yeah. Sunergos is right up there on the top of the list with Nussebull.
And by the way, seeing Nussebull take down a Liberty Dreadnaught with a Huegenot was awe inspiring.

Cruise - Engine kill - Fellow Hoodlum - 05-17-2007

Yes it would nice to see it all in ...

No.1 ... I've always taken for granted, as no advantage for you is ever gained by hitting Z in this situation,
and if people are cruising to be a pain, as happens a lot, they deserve a shot up the ass.

No.2 ... Grey area this. In a capital ship its using it to gain speed advantage, and to give your enemies a
lesser target coming in, and allow shield running going out. Big nono, and why the rules came in, in the
first place.
In a bomber/strike fighter, coming in in EK makes you a straight line target. Easier to hit close in with
those fast muzzle velocity turrets through their whole range. Bit of a lottery as dodging is out of the
window. This really only applies to a stationary battleship though. Any movement, and EK is pointless.

No.3 ... Screenies are inconclusive, movie would be good, witnesses are the best bet.

As for the rest
