u can't thrust and fire at the same time, and when u stop thrusting u immmediatly lose all the extra speed. doing this only wastes energy.

Poopy the ship trasher... need I say more???

Yes...

Every bloody ship in this game is good, they all have their pros/cons.... leave it at that....

Like will you start a thread... SHARKS are lame... cause they cant fire bullets? Come on... sharks are needed for solid basing....

Its like some lame debate I had with an Mechanical Engineer...

Mechanical Engineer vs Electronic Engineer... who is better?

no one.. both are needed.. especially if you design an electro-mechnical system.

you... do... this... too... much...

and i don't think sharks are lame it is my second favorite ship

Thanks for understanding me, and apologize for suggesting that you would say something like that.

Actually, I bet some new players would say the Shark sucks since it can't fire bullets.

I believe you said before the Warbird can kick ass on most ships in public arena base playing.

I agree to a certain point, but many factors are involved.

A good ass kicker Warbird pilot must know this:

-Know off by heart what every major weakness of every ship type in TW. The only ship that seems impossible to kill is the LT... it is extremely hard to get a good LT.... and they screw everything up with their levy splash damage....

-Know the limitations of the Warbird and know how to deal with them. Like don't fire at a spider at close range and risk bullet spray kill. Everyone should know.. like doh... if warbird fires... I'm vulenerable for afew secs... better make sure it hits and go somewhere to recharge.


-Be familiar with other players... know whose good and whose bad. And observe the skill level of current online players and note their common mistakes. After you play the game for awhile, you get to know everyone...atleast the players that count... but then there is aliased players... never underestimate anyone..heh..


For example;

If I saw Talon in lowerbase as warbird... I wouldn't be lazy... I would be very cautious... since he knows his sh!t...and he wont fall for stupid tricks.

But if I saw some newbert player... then I could maybe get away with a nice cheap shot...

I just fly around shooting things in pub . Might be part of the reason I suck but hey, it works. All you have to do is practice, you can use the same tactic against every ship, dodge.
