Even the best Pilots in the game can't survive these things. The 1st Matari Commando -HAND

CommanderBolt KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 2070	Posted - 2014.10.22 06:26:00 - [6] - Quote You know this always gave me an idea that I have never tried out but have thought about for quite some time. Would it be possible to win battles by placing dropships in the way of null cannons to stop your mcc from being hit by said null cannon missiles? I.E your team has A + B, enemies have C + D + E...... get a cheap dropship and hover above C for instance and take one for the team as it were? Keep doing this and hell maybe you could stop the major damage from null cannons? Is that even possible?

nicholas73 Glitched Connection 253	Posted - 2014.10.22 07:52:00 - [8] - Quote No, have you tried running regular dropships with a gunner, its freaking awesome. This is how a dropship should operate. Gone are the days of scrubs who can single handedly wipe out an entire squad alone in a dropship. Frankly I am quite happy with it.

But it requires 3 people and may still lose you the game as you're taking folks off the field. Get on top of the MCC and put down an uplink. Then stand near-ish the center and look straight up, you should see a little white orb steadily growing closer, TRY TO CATCH THE ORB!!! If done right, the null cannon missile will explode on you and not damage the MCC. It is possible to delay the death of your own MCC if you can't take the majority number of points and allow at least a win by clones if the rest of your team is good at killing, or a win by null cannons if they can at least hold one and not die too much while your MCC takes no damage bar the small missiles. It is a ridiculous tactic indeed, but I'll be damned if it isn't the funniest damned thing you ever did see when you win from it. O.G. Pink Fluffy Bunny

Would it be technically possible to put a an uplink/nanohive in the path of the null cannon missile? Do they have splash damage? Also, being able to disable one hostile null cannon with only one player is a very good value-for-effort. At 4 players devoted to catching missiles you have 12 players left to focus on having one point captured.

Has to be a person, the positioning is too exact to expect to be able to throw down equipment accurately and consistently. And it does require several people as the missile does kill you and another tends to be on its way by the time you've respawned. It's not really a viable tactic.... At all... But it's fun and it works sometimes as a clutch save when the MCCs are close on damage. O.G. Pink Fluffy Bunny

Is that even possible? yes it is.. as you would be denying 1 shot form 1 null cannon which is 20k(ish) less damage to the MCC so its like an effective 2 points for us 2 for them and 1 neutral.. for that 1 shot [[LogiBro ADV/PRO]] [[Level 1 Forum Warrior]] [[Level 2 Forum Pariah]]

If you can get both teams to do nothing but block the nullcannons/MCC missiles while jumping out right before the explosion... Wonder how long you could keep the match going for... I think we just found the next no life event! from downtime to downtime keep your MCC alive without losing all the clones!

That poor poor merch....reminds me of a few times I was running a STD Caldari Dropship with a mCRU in it, gunners kept getting shot out...I recieved a pieces of mail just hovering there, being very confused...it turns out a forge gunner had been shooting at me, but kept hitting my gunners instead of the ship itself, I only took minor damage (from splash at the time). The forgegunner had sent the mail wondering how in the hell I survived all of those shots But on the subject at hand...damn extremely powerful missiles from long range XD almost as bad as the other invisible insta-death hazard in the sky Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper. I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.
