SFC3: Who uses Transporters?
Vertigo:
Quote:
If they had a button that let you send the H+R MANUALY, as opposed to it being automatic whenever it has the chance, I might reconsider. But dropping my reinforced shield that is facing a neghvar with a full weapons load just because I knocked his front shield down is NOT something I would like to happen.

What about the little pause button on the transporter MFD?
Whiplash:
The Klingon transporters are relatively high-capacity, low-mass units. Its pretty effective when you can toss 6 hit & runs at once. In scenarios that allow capture, this can be a very effective way to shorten the battle once the enemy marines drop to 3-4.

Tannhauser:
I never put more than a level 1 Transporter on my ship. It takes up extra mass, and slows the ship slightly. Plus, I never use the transporter. You can't capture ships in D3, and who wants to actually lower the shield facing a human opponent? The only race that could get any effective use out of transporters, in my opinion, would be the Borg, since lowering a shield for transport is not a problem for them
So, simple poll:
Do you use the transporter?
Yes
No
762:
H&R's become more viable after your shields get reduced to near-nothing. With only 4 shields, and the way reinforcement works, it happens more often than not.
You can also time it to launch right after he's alphaed, or while you're turning (as in SFC2).
Aenigma:
I do use transporters, though i often use them only as a last resort, when my shields are down. There is really no point in getting unnecessary hull damage while you activate transporters. Can be nice against cubes though, when they just fired all their weapons (and preferably missed you), to make H&R's and damage their warpcore (yes i know, some are opposed to targeting warpcores, but how else do you even want to survive against such an über-ship?).
