If someone killed you with a mine, it was usually one of the following
1. you were flying crap, your damned fault you died
2. the other guy was flying good, he deserved the kill
3. bad luck, oh well the chance-factor's always gonna be there
Minespams aren't hard to avoid, just don't fly right behind your target, and if you've got a CD, use it.
Mineramming, well it ain't the easiest thing to do, so if someone manages to do it, it's not a cheap kill, its a well executed one.
Having said that, missiles are cheap as hell:P
Damn all missile spammers >.<
' Wrote:@ Kiggles: How is it ooRP to want to blow people up? Saying PVP is not RP is a tad... wrong. Good RP often ends in PVP, at least between enemies; you can't have RP without PVP. I don't get how gunning someone down is RP to you, but blowing them up isn't...
I don't mean to imply PvP is not RP (I don't remember typing that either) what I was complaining about is the weapons that everyone seems to want/need so they can get quick 1 hit hull kills.
This hinders RP for example I was in my challanger over Cambridge when a Corsair showed up, now I was going to do some RP even just basic such as "Corsair ship sighted.", "Your are ordered to leave Bretonia space at once" or somthing but as I was typing I got tizzonas/coladas hitting me and a nova before I could close the chat box and move. Now had he not been using his 1 hit hull weapon I would have time to respond and turn it into a worth while encounter not "lol I pwned that guy in like 2 seconds". (Just as a note this guy did not say that)
Anyway this is not ment to be a dig at said Corsair (hence name not said) but I like to at least have a little RP not just see a Corsair and attack without a word.
Kiggles:mellow:
I've been mildly miffed by one-shot weapons since their implementation, oh so long ago. I remember the days when fights were a matter of who could aim better, rather than who could aim a single shot. - Virus
Cheap on Non Vanilla ships. With pilots that just spam them like crazy. Cause thats knowingly useing the dis-advantage Tactical on Vanilla. If you dont blow yourself up. if there was no diferance in the ships. Then it would be tactical on both ends.
I feal they have thiere place. I just wish it was ballanced between the 2 model types. Vanilla and Non Vanilla
