Topic: New Poll: Would a "serious" no-Cheese server fly?

[Kroma BaSyl]

The STL is really only a problem on GSA. At 220 it has DNH firepower for battlecruiser cost.

Yeah, it's the best ship under the sun . . .

Which is why only the Empire's hottest pilots are allowed to fly it...

So long as they keep a copy of the rules near by in order to spot any infraction that will let them get out of fighting and/or never fly 40 clicks from a border.

How about a server where people will actually fly their ships into battle and actually have fun in combat?

Like Dfly said, a KCW style server with all 8 races. No cheese. 2 or 3 weeks. No dreads/carriers. I dont know if im a minority here but i really dont mind all the other ships. Kinda like the fast cruisers. Perhaps just change the ship availability date. Would love to see it.

Well if your going to do away with "V" designator ships (we assume only that and not rape the Hydran fleet) then the need for escorts is arguable.  Actaully that might make AI fights a little less lopsided since I noticed the system putting out small fleets of CV's with crappy patrol fighters vs ships of the line.   

Actually I sorta like the idea of restricting numbers.  Having ships that are usuable until dead.  And then restricted.             

Wanna talk about cheese ?? I ran into my first F-FFV this morning- what dingbat designed that POS ?? It's a small CA with no shields. Please put a stop to building fantasy ships like this- everyone knows a FF doesn't have the space onboard to house a squad of PF's.

FFV?   That was in the original game.   Are you sure that's the right designation.

It's called Eve, us OP people prefer to make things overly-complicated and spend more time bithcing than we do flying

yup, federation fast frigate/ carrier. I just checked the posted shiplist for this server, and it's correct designation. I also saw a F-FFV+ on there as well. I can't wait for the F-FFVX varient (Cheese-a-roni) feddie style.

Can I have a K-F5DBVX please ??

FFV+ carries 4 fighters, not PF's
SAme thing as E4VK

[FPF-DieHard]

Are you talking about the Solo PF leaders?  Every race has them, we stole this from Squadron Commnader.  It's a PF leader with 4 PF, represents a flotila operating away from a carrier.

It was kind of a silly after-thought that Dizzy wanted to throw in in the last minutes.

And yes, the Klingons have one 

[KBF MalaK]

live and learn- I still cant tell the diff from a PF and a fighter. But as a Pseudo-fighter, doesn't that mean 'wanna-be' fighter ??

I still think it's a fantasy ship (the BPV is too high for a FF) and space limitations make it impossible even in the Trek universe.

[FPF-DieHard]

One pass from a Cruiser kills them.  Nobody is flying the Solo PF Leaders to my knowledge anyway so they should find there way in the Recycle bin soon enough.

BACK ON TOPIC

Would a no-cheese seriosu server fly?   

[KBFLordKrueg]

Well, we have a few players flying them actually.
They do make great drafting ships and a flotilla of plasma armed P/Fs can be most effective. 
Even heard reports of pilots flying solo cranking out 2 min missions with them, so they can hang vs AI, even with the tougher missions here.
Still untested in battle vs live players, however.

Really?   Good to hear.  Plasma ships that can run fast mission . . . .  this is a good thing  I imagine they would make great drafters with 160 BPV for the whole Flotila.

I'm curious to see how/if they are unbalancing in PvP.

Well obviously a gangbang tactics using a tractor.  I would assume you jump into one and lead the pack, grab and let fly the load.  We had a player or two make a go of PF tenders in GAMESPY...Kirok I think.

AJTK, for heaven's sake get a switch. Hubs broadcast all packets sent to them down all network lines attached and add quite unnecessarily to your network traffic.
