Give the jav back its x-radar

[za gophar]

javs need x-radar back. in fact, all ships do. but javs are a start.

[Theif of Time]

Give the sharks teamgreens!

For the record, I agree. Not all ships, warbirds and spiders, for example, don't need it.

Jav pilots tend not to be smartest.

Exactly. I once considered macroing:
//ASS BULLETS WORK JUST AS WELL PEOPLE
because of the sheer amount of times a jav had shot at a spider, wb, or even X at tight quarters in flagroom, killing more allies that enemies.
Seriously, I think red bullets are underrated.

Hell yes! Fuck adaptation to changes! Let's throw a fit like when we were five and wanted that new Ninja Turtle or Strawberry Shortcake toy!

Hey, shut the fuck up and deal with it. Learn a new line of defense. There are other ships besides javs, and there are other ships that can see weasels.

[Kontrolz]

I really hate that the jav lost x-radar BUT the lanc is now the perfect weasel killing machine and it doesn't teamkill. Just have to stop your camping ass from firing stray bombs for a few minutes to lanc and take out the cloaker(s).

Laugh.

Whether you like it or not, people are still going to jav instead of lanc, even if the base is getting assaulted by weasels.

Someone seems to have taken javelin's x-radar. What's the point? Now weasels are controlling pure pub, because terrs can't seem to do much about them rushing in and taking the flag in the last second. I just played a few games in pure pub, and every each time we're close to winning a weasel rushes in and takes the flag while we're holding the base very strongly. We have 2 terrs and neither does anything.

whats the point of changing the ships anyways... i dont find anything good from changed ships... like weasel it was annoying even before it got so fkin small so why the hell small it

[Doc Flabby]

Isn't it a little dumb to shoot x's with a bomb, if you're in jav. At least to me, first thing in mind would be bulleting.

because the weasel is so small it can dodge the slow red bullets of the jav - bombs because of the speed and especially when a weasel is trying to sneak in though a gap in the wall.

I would like to see lanc's prized x from spawn instead of having to go hunting for greens to then only get tked by a jav <_<

Yup. It was a shit idea to make them small in the first place.

"Oh shit... I didn't mean to TK you, I promise! There was an X there!"

I always loved using that line...

Hate to say it, but the world does not revolve around you :P
The point in changing ships, as has probably been said many times, is to balance the game.

The point in taking away Xradar was to try deter people from playing jav, because people did, and still do, play jav excessively. Any other ship theres really no problem with- except that javs tk.
Plus there was just a general reshuffle of Xradar, from jav to lanc.

[Mulkero]

Maybe we should give the jav back its x-radar and make it use more energy, so that you couldn't shoot bombs but you could still shoot bullets. I would settle for that, if there's no way having the old x-radar back.

[Pressure Drop]

I don't think taking away x-radar has made a difference to tking or amount of javs. Also the fact that x's now suffer from drain means most will either not use stealth or if they do put it on early to rush in and take flag undetected by normal radar they can't shoot. So if a jav pays attention they can see them on roof etc.. Since they don't have x-radar and the x could put on stealth it is an incentive to bomb the wall where the x is currently and of course that will lead to tk's.

But more "bad" tk's happen just by dumbass ignorant javs. Just the other day i was base terr and i was sitting in cram letting ppl into mid and i had a port so i was watching for long range enemy bombs coming up entrance. Then one of my own javs shoots a bomb down and up into cram from an angle i wasn't looking at becuase no enemy bomb could have been coming from there and kills me. He doesn't apologise and when i complain that he just tked the bt on purpose he says shit happens it wasn't on purpose. There were no enemies about so i don't believe him but its just typical of a Jav in pub. Taking away x-radar isn't going to stop the javs like this :P

lol i was bored so i found a random screeshot of the position i was in and badly drew over it in paint. Note this wasn't the same game as the one i tked so ignore the other ships and look at the blobs to understand what a stupid shot it was.


edit: resized image so it wasn't so huge

[Blue Thunder]

Heres an idea....



Go back to the ship settings we had 5 yrs ago.




Problem solved.

[WuTang420]

warbird's only weakness is it cant see x's take that away and its too powerful


i would like to see lanc's prized x at spawn. so u don thave to go green hunting.....for ages.....
