I mean really... The Trials of Hexx on GW3
« on: August 21, 2004, 12:33:03 pm »
Who the hell builds these Klingon ships??

How can a ship with an "A" turn mode fail it's first HET???

I mean sure it had been shot to crap already by that DH bastard but still..

IT FAILED A FRICKIN HET!!!!!

IT HAS AN "A" TURN MODE!!!!!!!!!!


I miss my CWLP...

Isnt HET based only on the HET % and not on damage sustained?

I think it is just the HET %...


...however, F5s don't neccessarily have a 100% chance.  I don't think it until you start seeing the W-refits that the F5-class gets a 100% chance.  I believe the same is true of the E4s.  E3s and G2s get a 100% chance, if i'm not mistaken.


Enjoy!  :D

CLC's got about a 83% chance, but I screeewed that pretty good first time I tried on the test server too.  Sometimes, there's just no joy with it.

ARGHHH!!!!!!!!

And now I got <expletive deleted> by Kroma of all people...
and he didn't even buy me dinner first.

First day on the server and I'm 0 - 2

Just can't find the right rhythm to fly Klinks.

Ah well, guess it could be worse.

Could be KCW and doing this poorly against the KBF.

The first rule of this game that everybody should know is this:

"If there's even a 1% chance that a HET will fail, IT WILL FAIL..." :carmen:

Yep....I've had HET's fail when they showed a high 90% chance of working...just a throw of the dice really.  I've also been in Klink ships and successfully performed 4 or 5 HET's over the course of a long game.  One thing peeps forget about HET's is the speed factor.  In SFB speed increased the chances for a breakdown so I assume it's the same for EAW/OP.   :o

I must just be lucky then, I HET'd yesterday a couple of times in a F-NCL with a 83% chance ;D

Well let's see I moved into a D5C last night.
Managed to chase Mu off the map, figured things might be turning around then ran into
DH again.
Somehow (pilot ability?) his stupid %$@@&(@()@*) CF with TWO! (2) photons completely outshot
my D5C's 4 Dizzies.
I don't even think he used a $@*)^%$!)!@) drone the whole game.

Then met Clos.
Bastard
Managed to out turn my d5C with a $&@^@!&_)W!* CC+!!!
He was being all fancy schmancy and shot one of my SP's with a phaser barrage.
Figured I'd show him, dropped a normal shuttle, he shot it, went to drop a scatter.
SHUTTLE BAY NOT READY!!!!
I mean I knew on some level that Klinks didn't have a 2 shuttle launch rate, but I didn't expect it to apply to ME!!!

So I said screw it, I'm going back to phaser boating.
I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL @@&^ before a decent phaserboat come out.

I hate this game
I hate the feds
I hate getting outturned by a ^&%!*!)(^&@!)( ship that's doing the same speed as me.


I bet it's some sort of KBF plot against me.. they fixed their ships so I couldn't win... that must be it...

If it's really getting you down go into the Orion Pirates' SFB directory, print out the SFB Cadet's game, and get back to basics.

Not sure I can be bothered, but as you are the Doc, can you run an AI standard patrol in 2 minutes in a KRC? If so, there is no problem and I am utterly wrong. If you cannot, then the KRC is a worse ship for AI missions than ones I know can.

A D5C vs. F-CF matchup is a VERY uphill battle for the D5C, in my opinion.  He has five times your number of Ph1s and the power to overload two photons at will and still go fast.  2x overloaded photons  and 10x Ph1 is going to outshoot  the D5C's 2xPh1 and 4xDis3 with regularity.

If you had actually won, that would have been quite something.
