Leonid Tybalt wrote:Care to elaborate why you think thales have no place in a public match?
All I see from your post is: "because!"
In my opinion, Thales are the only TRUE sniper rifles in this game, due to the fact that they kill most infantry targets in one shot (you know, the way a sniper rifle is SUPPOSED TO!).
I can't actually think of a game offhand where a sniper rifle instakills infantry without a headshot.
And in games where they instakill with a headshot, it takes a little more skill to do.

Many people that exploit the red line laugh and joke about it saying **** like "oh the tears."
Yet they fail to realize what they are actually doio the game or how much of a ***** they are for using their red line crutch.
If you snipe from the red line, or rail tank from the red line, grow some balls, leave your safety zone, and actually join the fight.
But then again the very reason these players exploit the red line is because they are dickless cowards and often they are terrible players so I guess red line abusers will continue until CCP does something about it.
Any use of the word "crutch" gets an automatic hide-posts for the offender. What would you call it then? I often see the same people using the same red line exploits. It's obvious they can't play the game unless they do it from the safety of their red line. Would you like to coin a new phrase?
The thing is though, all maps suffer from ****** design.
A good sniper finds a good vantage point to snipe from. Good vantage point = high ground with good overview of ones surroundings and the target.
Now look at most maps in the game. Almost all of them are "bowl"-shaped, with the redline covering the only areas that are good vantage points for a sniper.
So what do you propose a sniper should do? Run around with a sniper rifle in cqc and look like a complete idiot and get killed in the process?
Don't blame the snipers just because they're doing what a sniper should do. Blame ccp for inventing such a stupid concept as a redline to begin with.
Oh and in b4 "you crutch using scrub": I don't even have the skills to be able to use a Thale... |

I got 6 Thales that I will probably never will use, so whenever the Player's Market comes out I'm hoping for some officer HMG trades for them, increase the number of Thale's red liner snipers have just so I can get something useful!

I just grab my Incubus and find the perpetrator (Cal Logi with not dampening usually) and blow them up. If I lose my Incubus, I lose it.
Officer weapons always get me to throw isk out the window. Especially in FW.
xSivartx is my Heavy. There are many like him, but he is my own...
So, other Logi's back off, those are my Warpoints!

I do this quite often. I release to CCP full permissions given to data capture my character for unlimited time period. Specifically in regards to turning my salvage ratio's back on it is very evident it was manually turned off imo. It has been 4 months since I stated salvage was broken, and since that day I haven't recieved a single item from salvage. Please, fix this somehow. EDIT//: First match deploing from this I recieve 1xCreoDron AR. in salvage. Much happy. THAT IS LITERALLY ALL I GET FROM SALVAGE.. And 9k330 fg and occasionally a thales, that I will later use and lose while hunting another thales like I always do

Have you ever sniped? I don't think you have.. a sniper out of the red line(unless on a tower ) is a sitting duck for the proto bears. It just so happens all the good spots are in the red line (ie manus HILL).. now, if ccp actually put some good sniping spots outside of the red line then you would have the joy of melee ing him till death. I for one only snipe when I get spawn killed multiple times in different areas, when there is an annoying enemy sniper (then I snipe from their red line) or when I get Manus hill

You've obviously never used a Tactical Sniper Rifle before. Guaranteed kill if you get 3 headshots or less. It's too fast for them to react.
Anyways, you're just a poor noob and griefer for killing your own team. He's killing reds for you. You need to calm down.

fragmentedhackslash wrote:Thales. The one and only thing you are guarenteed to lose within 60 seconds of your first kill posted using a Thales if you are in a match against me.
Guarenteed.
Why?
It's not the fact you are 250/500 meters in the redline. You will find me there some matches. It's not that salvage is broken. My merc hasn't recieved anything in salvage since December... no bs, ever since I went on record stating salvage is broken, funny coincidence? See EDIT. It's not that Scotty has stacked a team against you. It happens to everyone. It's not the fact your generally in a pseudo Heavy suit.
It is because it is in my opinion Thales have no right of place in a Public match. It is as simple as that.
For everyone to understand the process of how I can accomplish this match in match out?
All blueberrys should have this fitting in stock at all times... it works wonders against Thales 'operators'.
Dropship (Full Militia Fit + Cheap and nasty)>
Viper for ze speeds
Afterburner for ze redline infiltration
Sheild Hardner for ze instalations and redline rail tankers
Scanner for ze radar blips
See a red Thales in the kill sheet. Call in Viper. Start to laugh. Fly to redline. Activate Scanner. Activate Afterburner.
Find Thales. Try to roadkill. Keep laughing. Jump out shoot the red as they are scrambling towards a supply depot. Run up to red taking a dirt nap. Teabag. Laugh more. Shoot in the head to terminate frame. Try to get back in dropship, if it's not on fire. Dropship times out and blows up. Die in the redline satisfied.
Respawn with a smile.
Keep laughing.
EDIT//: First match since posting this, I recieve salvage. Thankyou.
I wish I could see the face of the Thales Snipers that I take down with my python. they never guess the python constantly darting in and out of the redline is looking for them exclusively :)

There is something inherently stupid and broken in a game when all player needs to spend ressources (ISK, suit, salvage) to play the game while a player seldom if never gets killed and get huge amounts of kills sitting in a position that the engine ensure you cannot see, this is called an exploit, IMO the sniper ranges are like rail tank rails, somebody at CCP likes the fact that there is an exploit where you dont have to bet any resources or not a lot and get away with big salvage like The Headless Horseman.
Keep exploiting the game, you actually help CCP root out all the flaws in the game, when all your cheap tactics get cut down you will probably leave this game which will be good ridance anyway for the rest of us who really go for the objective.
This reminds me why all the snipers I know in Dust really likes to play domination, a game mode exclusively made for people that want to play duck hunt. Please stay in domination script kiddies...

You forgot the final and most important step in the "we have too many snipers lets troll them game." After punching snipers in the face send them mail offering to move out of their way for a paltry 1 mil isk. Add 1 mil isk more to the cost each time they swear at you in the intervening email exchange.
Oh so fun.
