Title: A GW 5 Warning
Post by: KAT J'inn on March 20, 2005, 07:02:36 pm
I had better post this I guess . . .


For those of you that have rarely flow Gorn or Romulan, and certainly never in a campaign, it can be an . . . acquired taste.

Now Flying one or the other in a Campaign against a non-plasma race is one thing . . .  but plasma on plasma is stressful.

Expect your battles to last anywhere from 30 minute to two hours.  YES TWO HOURS. 

It's very stressful when you lose a two hour battle.  It can lead to anger, flames, boredom, spontaneous bladder failure, etc.

If you hate it, wait for AoTK II which will have all races.  If you love it, yer sick, <cough> I mean GREAT!!  Yes great!!

You have been warned.

If not happy, The General War, Inc. a subsidiary of Snickers, Inc., will be glad to refund your money.

Hmm...

Only 2 hours for a ballet.  A really good ballet should last 3 or more hours,  wake me when its finished zzzzzzzzzz.............

There's nothing like a good ballet for a refreshing sleep. lol

Come on!

Charge in, Alpha each other at less than range five, repeat until the first ship blows up. Nine minutes max.  Much less finesse, a lot more missions.

Anyone who doesn't manage to kill me in 10 minutes or less when I'm flying Rom ought
to cost his side VP points.

I'm still trying to figure out why my "w" key doesn't take me to warp but instead launches some weird shuttle...

Anti-Plasma = Phaser boat from range 12 to 15... just keep plinking away their shields.. they'll give out before yours should, plus this gives you the distance to out run plasma when they launch.. this is of course given that you keep speed at around 21 when firing away and jumping to speed 31 when plasma is launched.. also turning in a wide arc after plasma locks on to your rear shiled will help deplete the plasma.. especially effective against R type plasma..

Now many Plasma players may turn off all but 1 plasma launcher and do a speed 31 dance with you.. at this point, you need to be very clever to evade and keep your shields up.

Thanks Pestalence. So mainly use the phasers and wear them out. Sounds like a plan.

Actually I have found you simply need to be unafraid of taking a hit.   Get close and blast a hole through the shield, then hit the enemy with your phasers.  (Also use any plasma, dizzies, etc... you might have)  that seems to work well against an ai plasma boat.

Generally I fire up all my plasma and overload it then use the psudo plasma to get the AI to drop a ww.  after that you can use your plasma against him.  after the first pass make sure you put the plasma to F's and try to stay on the rear shields phasers come in real handy to keep the enemy from hitting you too hard.

I would recommend listening to someone else for the trick of playing pvp cause I am not very good at that.  Just look at how many ISC ships I had shot out from under me in SG4 lol.  Hexx I think you have a rival for the most people killing you.  << grins >>

Step 1  Draft Die Hard as your wingman

Step 2 load up a big tractor

Step 3 Grab Die Hard and push him towards enemy


They wont miss the opportunity to cripple him and should fire all plasma at him, yeah hes a wreck but your free for a long time till the plasma recharges.    ;D

Some interesting strategies......

1. Run like a girl

2. Get your wingman killed

3. Be unafraid

Good advice, I think  ???

 Ouch!!  Where's the love, people.   :-*

 Actually Wraith, depending on who your opponent is, will likely determine how ya fly/fight. Forget about the "tossing drones over your shoulder" as DH is the only one who gets a Fed BB in D2.   ;D

mmm Plasmas And Gorn. Gorn and Hydran my races of choice. May just have to get on one of these days and do some on line gaming again. As long as I can fly my ships that I made, ALL SFB style Gorn. Nothing else gets changed just the ship

That is what I do. I am even going to post an optional download of the Queendom of Kromydia approved SFB gorns for those that want to fly in style. I am currently using Desty Nova's Gorns with a few Warrefit and Warrefit textured fleetdock13 models for certian variants.

If I recall correctly you did those FSA gorns, right? They will work as well.
