i saw flank and thought from the side. its all good. for me all this extra information is awesome...for instance when i see 2 or more reds hacking a point i am charging up for the double kill and purely concentrating on landing both blades in the first place. i also assume that the first attack is free so why not charge em.

headshots i dont think about but now i think i wil esp. when thereGÇÖs heavys involved.

what adipem said about observing mr musturd i have also taken on board. its always been about the charge for me up to this point but actually there's more. perhaps charging versus quicker slashing and thrashing is akin to ADS versus hip firing with a gun.

might be time for a minja video...anything i can learn to make my fave suit and style more useful...and ive been having an identity crisis recently and mixing up all sorts of suits in the same games etc.

ps. if you are watching the vids...lemme know how much editing them would help...do you watch em all the way, fast forward, or switch off after a while?

ps. Kaeru you came 2nd in the knife competition. your input is valuable!!

Hahhaahaaaa XD!!! LOL

I'll be sure to send you a squad invite next time !! I focus on AV in my incubus, almost strictly with a side gunner.

I noticed a trend last night:

Starting with Min Scout NK fit, kill 1/2 guys then die, rinse and repeat. (gets pricey when you go like 20+/10+) Later in the baltte I get annoyed at some guy using a ranged weapon and pull out my gal scout with a assault scrambler rifle... kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, ... maybe die once... huh why can i not resist my NK's :)

Gotcha. Spec'd out of Swarms and PLCs; haven't had opportunity to test anything other than Lai Dais.

kinda proves the saying
"Don't bring a knife to a gun fight"
LOL

I've learned as fun as they can be some maps they are not very optimal.

Force yourself to use your flux grenades when necessary, as Musturd did.

Question! Why not carry STD Hive so you can pre-Flux as a matter of practice?

Great idea ! Should see if it fits with his preferred alternate weapon. It doesn't with my flaylock, unfortunately :( . Really great idea though +111111111111111

Musturd carries a Compact Hive; shame these didn't get included in the carry-count increase. Should note that I haven't tried this myself; having second thoughts, as folks might hop when hit (I know I do).

[...]
6)A few hardwired nanohives/uplinks/proxy didn't get the buff (from bright cloud)
-Nanohives that have not received the 3X buff:
Compact nanohive and all prototype variants
-Drop uplink count has not beeing buffed by 3X but just has beeing buffed by +1
-Proto Proxy mines have a max carry count of 4 (STD/ADV have 9)

[...]

What about a guy that puts an RE on a link that he detonates when you spawn? There's no way you could have known, and as such, I don't think it's a legit death.

But yeah, I can agree with you if you get killed when you spawn on the only blue CRU on the map that's close to the enemy's redline.

In theory, the compact is due for the same increase as the rest ! Can't wait..

Which flaylock are you using? I suggest the specialist one GN20 I think?

0 PG and better than the standard flaylock.

If I remember correctly, Musturd also didn't hack things, which I find is something that makes you very vulnerable.

I am obviously bias, but I don't think the game rewards hacking enough, particularly when you hack a CRU and give your team some breathing room when redlined.

I think trying to push and hack objectives gets me killed a lot, especially when being stomped and reds are spread across the map looking for something to kill. This rarely happened when teams were evenly matched.

I use the standard flaylock as much as possible, but I agree with you, the 0 PG specialist is a must for certain fits. Only having 3 in the clip has hurt me at times, though.

Llast swears by the breach flaylock, I wish I had his godlike aim !!

For the Basic Minmatar Scout M-1 that I posted, though, cost efficiency is a big part of the reward of using it. A specialist weapon tends to be disproportionately expensive compared to the rest. The fit I suggested, with standard flaylock and compact nanohive costs only 26k ISK.

Bleeding out your opponent~

Consider this: when you are bleeding out, the game takes that time for your next uplink deployment. As such, someone who waits a little bit after dying, before picking a place to spawn, often only has to wait 3 seconds to spawn in, regardless of uplink quality. This is not the case if you bled out immediately upon death. Meaning no matter how much time passes before picking a place to spawn, you'll have to wait anywhere between 10~15 seconds to spawn in. Very painful.

So if you are carrying a flaylock, and see a teammate get a nice kill with their fine rifle, or you get a nice double kill with nova knives, add to the ennemy's frustration and tap them with a friendly flaylock explosion. No aiming required. If their ragdoll moves, they will have to wait the full extent of their deployment AFTER picking a place to spawn. This is really useful when clearing an objective in skirmish that also has a CRU nearby.

Oh this is really good info
Something I have completely overlooked.
Thank you

Did something change? I thought all flays had a 3 rnd mag, aside from the breach with 2. it's the max ammo you can carry is less. But if it let's you pack a compact nano then it's a good trade IMO.

A few patches ago, they buffed all the sidearms in hopes of making them all as good as the SMG. The flaylock got more damage and 4 round clip standard. Militia and Specialist are now the only ones left at 3.
