Cruise - Engine kill

[Zepphos]

This is regarding AdmSirRed posting a screenshot about the LNS Phoenix (me) cruise-engine killing against him. Here is the page

Yes, I do know that it is not allowed, when in combat.

HOWEVER, what about when your opponent is in cruise also?

Taking the example of the situation against SirRed, he was running in cruise and a straight line, I pulled in behind him. I hit engine kill and began to fire, knowing I could atleast cause some damage before he got away into the Jump Gate.

I have seen some others do this in bombers etc (that includes myself)

Am I in the wrong for doing this?

If I am I would like an admin to fine LNS Phoenix by removing its weapons and armour kit. It only has 3 million on there at the present time.

I did not think there was anything wrong with this tactic.

Well the definition of the rule is using it to gain a speed boost not matching speed and killing the retreating enemy...however this can all be avoided by getting a train cruise disruptor....that can disrupt an entire formation of caps...

Zepphos, I explained it a million times that it is allowed in such situations. It actually puts you in disadvantage as you start slowing down as soon as you EK. If the runner is stupid enough to fly a straight line, he deserves to die.

The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

Ditto Nightfall. I've only been able to use it successfully... Well, once. But I had a three shot kill.:P

(Mmmm... mortars.)

Used it sucessfully a few times on the unsuspecting ... "WTF" ... BOOM. "You can't do that in cruise" ...
"Wasn't in cruise" ...

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

That, however, is not as bad as MrSNS and his rather insightful line, that I can't quite remember where, but was something along the lines of:

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

Master of the spamage, IMO
