What is the real point of taking a ship into a GSA match based on point defense? Speed and a little turning will lose any slow drones, and plasma isn't much of a threat as long as the speed is high and one remembers not to come in at too steep an angle.

Tell that to the guys that fly around leisurely at speed 15 like they're out for a Sunday drive.

You and I think/fly alike.   A lot of players Castle in situations that I just find to be insane (multiple plasma opponents, against Fed ships that can hold overloads at high-speed, etc . . .).  Only thing I did like this recently was castle an G-BCH successfully against an I-CAZ.  In 1v1 you can get away with stuff like that but against multiple ships it can just get too hairy.

By the way, we had 20 people last night as well.  More than a D2 can draw these days.    I wonder if these guys can be talked into some typr of campaign . . .

[FPF-Paladin]

Wow, seriously... start recruiting 'em!

Post next night you guys plan on doing GSA will you?  I want to get in on some of this

On gsa right now doing some battles.

Last night was a first; a 3-way free for all when nobody won.  2v2v1, 175 Late but we gave Dizzy 509 because he was by himself and I felt like giving him a billion points.   Team all gets killed, Team B is me and Corbo.   I'm crippled, down to like 6 power in an I-CW.   Corbo's F-NAE get's pushed off the map but Dizzy's Pirate BB but not before soring a lot of damage with his Gats . . .

So here I am alone, crippled against a badly wounded BB.   Dizzy drops about 45 t-bombs on top of me and decides to run me over.   The resulting explosion kills both of us!

Is it me or did DIF-Josh get a lot better over the past year?  He flew that 195 late fight nearly perfect.

You missed the best one later when Dizzy and I did a 2v3 where Dizzy tractored two of the other team into rocks.

[Dizzy]

Im on right now...! And yeah, last night was a hoot. Crazy games... Had some cool 3v2's as well.

I went 2-2 with this baddass Hydran last night.  I can't remember his name but he was good (The_void?  Something with a V).   We gotta get this guy in as a regular.

175 Late:  H-CHCn (me) H-CHY.   I won this one.   I thought it was funny that we both took Hydyan.

199 Late:  G-BCH (me) H-SUI.   I lost!  We both managed to crippled each other in an exchange and I killed his fighters.  Suicide Fusions at the end killed me.

199 Late:  F-BCF(me) versus Some Beast-rider CVS that was pretty much a Hydran with drones:   I won this one but was cirppled at the end.

250 Late:  F-DNL (me) versus H-OS (Speed 31 III Helebore fighters) I lost!  Now I don't feel bad for killing Deadman on AOTK4 in the same fight!     He mad his first pass with the fighters out, I used my firepower on them and not the OS so he pretty much got a free range 0 Shot.  The next 20 minute was us trading Proxy and helebore shots (hard to chase somebody down when you at 41 power in a DN) which eventually lead to suicide fusions in my rectum (rectum, killed 'em!).  VGG

His name is The Vang.

GG's last night again.

I remember once in a 3v3, I was flying an I-CCZ and Vang had this Pirate DN. Out of nowhere, he swooped in and hit my previously undamaged ship with overloaded hellbores. My engines dropped from 44 to 7!

His name is The Vang.

Thanks, it was late and I was too tired to remember.  He's a REAL Hydran, very rare to find somebody these days who really know what they are dong in those ships.   Doesn't just rely on fighters but uses every part of his ship as he should.

Why do you think I fly the Hydran boats w/o fighters?

Some of the FEDX players last night thought that a race v. race match would be interesting, and I think it would be too. It could especially work well with stepped BPV as well, assuming a six player match.

[Dizzy]

Lotsa peeps on.

[knightstorm]

Lotsa peeps on.

Had a match against Tus today.  We fired potshots at eachother or 30 minutes before he dropped.  Anyone who says the OP cloak is worthless should fly against him.  I guarantee you'll want to SD just to end it.

I just muff dived straight into a planet with my I-XCB.

I've been unable to get on my computer here for about a week, I'm mostly settled back in though, so I should be on GSA again tomorrow night
