Well, since it's supply ship, it could play key role in many battles. But I can't see any of them online, why?
Give RS CM slot and 400 m/s max speed, and tactic of many battles will change. Regrouping beyond zone of direct fight for geting reloads will give some realism to battles. Sometimes protecting/defending RS could be difference between victory and loss. What do you think about it?

I think the true reason is more people wants to do dps.

Like in World of Lolcraft, where it's freaking impossible to find a holy priest.

Have you actually been in a battle which had a Repair Ship participating?

If you had, you'd know that what you just described already happens, or at least can happen.


The reason you don't see many indie Repair Ships is because indies are often disorganised, unlike factions, which can effectively coordinate RS deployment. That, and an indie is probably looking to score kills, not play a defensive role.

There was a sig here, once.

I saw 3 great battles between RM and LN, and any RS there.

Btw. RM and LN have no tactic, that chaos can't be compared to anything other... Sometimes commanders are them only for name, everybody shouts on group chat... Horrible.

That's what I'm going to do:)

By faction, I meant Official Faction.

I'm not thinking of Texas raids.

Repair ship's a weak cargo ship carrying regens, little more. It fills that role adequately. Personally, I'd reclassify it as a gunboat so caps can take potshots at it - the thing's got more regens then a battleship and is -clearly- not made for trading...

Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

You can't see any of them because only factions like .FACE, corsair indies and other lolwuts that don't care much about what others think about them, while it's all goes according to rules, can use it on a regular basis.


The deployment of a Repair Ship into battle produces insane amount of q_q among many players that love to talk about fairplay.

INSANE AMOUNTS OF Q_Q.

That alone should frighten you enough to not to deploy it.


P.S. That, and the fact that repair ship, once you know what you're doing, is a very easy target.

P.P.S. On a side note, I think Liberty-Rheinland front might see the return of Mr.Biscuit, that is currently sitting on Primus, chattin' with monkeys :cool:

P.P.P.S: Your tactic about the use of a repair ship is kinda wrong. It's best used with, somewhat, different approach.

The amount of wrong in those posts is quite large.

Hm I don't see the problem...

The RS already is 'pro'! Even a bit too strong if you'd ask me.
Thing is, that they are rarely used, because nobody wants to fly it, while others have their pew.

(At this point: Kudos to LR-Unlimited.Endings;))

And that.
