' Wrote:Reminds me of a funny incident a while ago. I was on my nomad character and some player started intimidating me in private messages how he is going to Omega-55 on cruiser to farm Wilde, not in roleplay as he said himself, gloating about it all the time, for what purpose I do not know, but I was certainly not going anywhere being busy with other affairs. Upon entering Omega-58 he declared he is going to blow up the jumpgate and save-the-humanity (cough). I started countdown before he reaches jumpgate. A few seconds before it was over I saw the message of him dying there, torn apart by very angry scorpion gunboats I presume. Haven't heard much of him ever since.
oh jeahh they are insane !!! once i wanted to take a look how strong they are so i started a game in SP (thx to Ioncross :D) I started with the Rhineland BS (Cap Armor VIII) and you know what, after 1 min i am going like BOOOOOOMMMMM :Din my view they are really really overpowered.
yes they are a bit overpowered, i met 3 this afternoon and flux took down one but wanted to get a gb to help so i helped by carrying on the mish... after Flux came back on the gb, we destroyed one and all the guns on the others
then a bounty gb with anti fighter missiles came along and raped me, how nice :S

Heh, indeed pwnt. Actually..ive noticed that all npcs have gotten a wee bit stronger, not by much but i remember that it did not take three shots from double dragonfly turrets to take down a BHG npc in alpha...not the mission one but the ones that are near the 37 JH Odd really.
i think i remember that the reason they don t die when they are at zero is that they attempt to play a death animation - which can take some time ( like the osiris that breaks into 3 parts but only really blows up when the middle part explodes )
the problem with such an effect is.... the longer it takes the more damage the dieing ship can deal while being invincible. - cause during the death animation, they can still fire all their functioning weapons still.

And the Cruisers name was Provectus.iii
Because I was going out there as an Order Cruiser to get Wilde pilots for "research" back at toledo on how to remove nomads from humans...
but then I thought... "man they sure spawn slow in O-55" so i wandered into O-58...
i saw the jumpgate, and decided... "I can blow that!" (because my client rendered a healthbar on it)
then... ZOMG NPCs WITH TRAIN MISSILES... I flee towards where Datastorm says Nomad power Cores spawn in a wreck... then 5 seconds later... *KABLOOEY!*
thank you scorpions... you've taught me a valuable lesson...
I'LL BRING A BATTLESHIP WITH A HEAVY MORTAR NEXT TIME
DIE GUNBOATS DIE!!!! *fires two HMs* PWNED!!! 1,560,000 hull damage Bi*
