Tanks are best for this actually since they have big pancake making undersides. It works but you have to get the call in point just right.

A more fun route I've been trying to promote is standing in front of a single sniper the entire match blocking their shots and send them mail trying to extort isk for the right to snipe. It hasn't gotten me any isk yet but it is certainly satisfying.

cam you imagine the paradigm shift in gameplay if they actually offered a reward of bonus isk to the victors?


They do that right now. It is a 60/40 split of the isk prize with the winners taking the larger half.

If someone can exploit the game mechanics for scrub tactics and FOTM wins or AWOX a team member then I can damn well head to the mountains in an LAV and pop open a cold one to watch the fireworks.


Case in point it is very fun to hop in a dropship and hover right above the battlefield watching the blueberries scurry. Very enjoyable with scotch.]]>

I feel you on that one, I stick to ambush most lately.


Yea, we've been in some tough fighting matches, have we not? I've seen you a couple of times around. Usually when I'm in a good match, you're in it.

Ambush does help my gun game and keeps the gears greased.]]>

He probably bought into the promises like the rest of us.

Promises of PvE and a market etc., on the PS3.

Can I recommend checking the kill feed first before doing this? I know there are matches when I'm kicking ass and taking names, racking up the kills, only to have some jackwad do exactly what you are suggesting. Now, if they are redlining, by all means do it. But don't do it to those out in the actual killbox doing work and trying to actually help the team please. Why ruin someone else's playstyle just because you don't personally like it.]]>
