I've seen tanks withstand orbitals plenty of times. HTFU.

ah sorry got the two confused. warbarges are the planet side ship not the one in space.

Nobody likes those players anyway. Random blues make the game unplayable half the time. I say good riddance.

I figure pub matches will decline once other types factor into gameplay and take over. Kinda like: "you still play pub matches? N00B"

without NPC warbarges, DUST players are completely at the mercy of EVE players, both in terms of fire support and in terms of delivery to a tactical hotspot where we can actually have matches and fight.

This

Is

a

bad

idea.

There's a lot of morons in EVE who are actively wanting DUST to fail because it's not on the PC. Or because they don't want something other than internet spaceships to matter. Or because they're jerks.

There's a lot more who don't see any reason to give a crap about DUST, and thusly will not participate in assisting us in any way.

The few who care are mostly here in beta, and the ones remaining are not enough to insure that there will be good fights to be had for us. DUST will stagnate and die if we have to rely on Podpoppers to do anything.

While I would train warbarges, I think that corps with a warbarge pilot in orbit should get some pretty awesome boosts to their game, and the warbarge pilots be rewarded along with their ground forces for taking the risk of flying a ship that's about as optimized for space combat as a brick covered in sandpaper.

So how should tanks get blown up?

But but, the OBs are player based I don't get the resentment?

Boiling the entire thread down to this one statement.

'I hate having my tanks OHK'ed.'

So I want to start a real thread about this. Here are my thoughts from the first topic which was locked indefinitely:



As someone who has lost several well-built tanks to OBs, I don't like being torched by magically placed beams of destruction with imaginary points.

I wouldn't be annoyed if I at least knew the OB came from an EVE ship hanging in orbit 100% of the times I get striked. A little effort and coordination to match what I put into driving tanks.

Right now they seem over used and unrealistic. They literally appear from nowhere, come from nothing, and destroy everything. Gay.

I hate losing 55k ISK every time a tanker pulls a trigger on me. OB are fine. We need a way to retaliate against tankers who drive and shoot too well.

I think 'named', paid for with $$, and eventually proto AV takes care of that.
Kinda bugs me there's no $$ counter on vehicles. A little lopsided?

Would train my EVE pilot to do this in a heartbeat.

That. Yeah, you lost all respect right there.

no sir, that was lost based on the quality of his post that got locked.
