Why the Lancaster is now Much Much Worse.

[suxxor]

I used to play pretty much all ships equally, except for shark and lanc, because.. well, I sucked in them. except now I can bty up to at least 20-30, occasionally 60+, in a lanc (that's without greens, of course). it's perfect.. you spend a little while dodging and using the lanc's rather effective afterburners, then you just return fire once and the other dude explodes. if your opponent has less than full energy, a lanc shot is JUST as deadly as a warbird's. easier to aim, too. you just have to pick on ships AFTER they shoot at you, not before.

20-30 bty? Occasionally 60?

Holy shit.

Elite.

Someone recruit this guy.

Did you just create an account to talk about the lancaster because these are your only two posts.

hmmm

'm still split on the new lanc, for the reasons of I pretty much only defend flagroom and never duel, that and I stick to terr/weasel most of the time.

As far as debating you on dueling, I can't dip my foot in that area because, as I said, I flagroom defend, not mid/lower/spawn duel. I find the weaker bullets to be better for the cross over fire that most spiders partake in( ie firing across the entrance beneath the flag to bait or prevent enemies from coming in ), but for cover firing down the entrance with normal/multi shot, it's lost most of its cred. I could get about the same amount of bounty as you with the old settings, and sometimes with the new, but I could do it a lot faster with the old. And when defending the flag with cross fire, 've gotten into the habit of going into "why don't you just die?!" mode when I fire point blank at an incoming terr or warbird and they just shrug it off instead of exploding.

So I think the new lanc is about 50/50 now... less for dueling perhaps and better for flag defense, but then again, it could be the other way around for other players.

Boycott the lanc. Don't use it.

Problem solved.

Boycotting does not work. You will just get the police to give you a spanky.

I think changing the settings was just a way to make people read the forums more.

Nah... All they'd have to do is just crash the server for a bit. That always brings in new members.

no. I've had an account for a while, and been playing for a while longer. I just rarely visit the forums. those are my only two RECENT posts. xog was right on with his post.

I haft to agree with Rion on this.. Sure made me laugh, no offense.. :P

EDIT: Still laughing

EDIT#2: I'm mean today, I suppose I've stepped up with the wrong foot again.

EDIT#3: Accually I'd be laughing all day if I wasn't at work

EDIT#4: accually I would be at home if I had no work today, watching non-stop anime, and whine about something totally pointless, since I have this bitch session going on. I wonder why..

EDIT#5: I want to go home, slack, play some on the synth, and perhaps some on the piano.

EDIT#6: I have no clue what I should write at my #6 edit..

EDIT#7: I found out that its totally pointless and stupid to edit a post over 7 times..

EDIT#8: I like : rolleyes : I accually found myself writing that on #boxtorrents at irc.deltaanime.net

EDIT#9: I'm accually logged on at #boxtorrents right now with my computer, current nick would be light[work_ughf] somthing.

EDIT#10: damn I forgot what I was suppose to say.. I'lle come back later.. if I remember it ^^

My fav. new addition to the lanc is the cool 1550 energy!!!

Seems that wb and cloaker bullets do around 1540 damage, this means if you hold your fire, you can eat a wb shot EZ style! You only have 10 energy left but it works everytime, try it!


Have fun with it. I'll be out there in pub lamin it up as usual lookin for a new angle $

I thought you were either trolling or wrong but you are right. Did they just change that recently or was it that way when they first changed the bullets?

[bounty]

This is a new addition it seems, kinda strange but cool and fun none the less. I admit that i have laughed at many sayin "You cheat!!" or "reported" :P

[JeBu]

add x-radar for lanc!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpiderMage]

add x-radar for lanc!!!!!!!!!!!

That would so just... totally kill any usefulness of a weasel. Let javs and terrs hunt weasels, Lancs don't need any more against them.

Lancaster ...

If the lanc was a bit more fast it was the no 1 ship ...
I always thought the lanc is a cool ship only thing its slow and hard to dodge with ...
Make lanc faster and the bullets more dence . they spread too fast .
then everyone will use it ..
Caus right now almost no one use it exept for newbs in pub and people who are forced to when elim automaticly chooses lanc-elim .
