Yeah to solo a hav now days you gotra just have soooo much instant damage to get around that rep cycle. My prof 5 swarms are not even my main av weapon anymore considering 4 f45s equal 6000 hp plus 2 proto packed av equaling say another 2200hp. My swarms are just a finisher

Might try a swarm scout for a bit. Clack, kincats and just race around. Might need 2 of us. Swarms a shyte But they scare off ADS pilots who actually have a financial risk to the rig they are flying.

The clack (are we not calling it that anymore?) is for evading infantry and vehicles who might follow the trail looking for an easy kill. Will need a decent side arm as well. Probably go with SMG.
Pre 1.7 my AV fit was a LAV and forge doing a similar thing of chasing vehicles all over the map. But now thats too visible.
That WP thing is interesting. I wonder how much you can make a match just doing that. Spent a whole skirmish map shooting a Maddy with 2 reps 1 hardener. Each clip gave me 75 WPs. Had proto nanhives. went 2 kills 3 deaths. The kills were from an LAV. The deaths were because a Large Blaster Turret has longer range than Swarm Launcher. Got over 5k WPs Even with rapid reload lvl 3 and using my commando suit, the shields on the Madrugar were back up to full by the time I finished reloading, locked on, and launched the next volley. Time between shots really hinders AV. Same applies to PLC reload, Forge charge times. Even maxed out it's just not fast enough, multiple people makes a difference, but even then it on;y takes a second to zip away and recall

I don;t remember who was talking about it, as I was just listening in on stupid, but someone was talking about putting a plasma cannon on their commando suit as they thought the reload speed bonus would make it viable... I wonder how much he regrets doing that by now.

Oddly enough, I am finding fewer problems placing REs on tanks than I was in 1.7. I think in part because tankers now have to worry about swarms as well.
RE + swarms totally works. I do not use swarms myself, but had a tank take off on me after two REs, and I was just about to curse the swarm using merc, when I realized I could wait a hit or two. Sure enough, after a couple hits, I blew my REs and got lots of WP and hopefully an angry tanker.
In general, I think its silly how much HP HAV and LAV have at the militia lvl. I think a basic militia LAV should be taken out by militia swarms easily if the driver has no modules and no SP invested.
I used to blow up LAVs with 1 RE. I think that if SP were to make more of a difference in vehicles, New Eden would be a much better place, and more free of idiot pilots.

I have a fit with REs and proxies, but I don't take it out often because it leaves me a sitting duck, and rarely works.
Especially now that REs and proxies show up on scan. I am assuming because AV was too OP already...

Yep, getting 10,000 kills in a week sounds reasonable for 500k sp...
If you average 25 kills per match that's 400 matches. 4 matches an hour and you're gonna have to play for 100 hours...
I'll pass thanks. |

I only use proxies in FW and PC to as auto-detonators for my REs. Need that FF for it to work though.

Change in the event.
#125 Posted: 2014.04.30 14:48 | Report Like 11 So a small change
We've change the flat SP bonus per kill amount from 50 to 250 SP, and 100 to 400. This does not change the standard 2x SP earning for base earnings or either the weekly cap or the bonus cap.
So, just to clarify for everyone:
2x SP earned from all actions, weekly cap is doubled. This is affected by boosters exactly as a normal double SP event.
Additionally, for every kill you will earn an additional 250 SP and 5,000 ISK, or 400 SP and 7,500ISK if you are using either of the Origin Suits. This is capped at 500,000 SP and 10mil ISK. This additional SP and ISK is not affected by boosters.
All of the event pages and descriptions will be updated to match this. If anything is still unclear, please post your issue and I'll see what I can do.

Question X:

Question Y:

Someone will have a total percentage over 100. I guarantee it.

Someone will have a total percentage over 100. I guarantee it. I always find that interesting in polls, (almost all contain this little trick of wording) it actually serves a purpose though. It tells you a few things about the respondents, such as negative/positive outlook, truthfulness, how seriously the poll is taken, gives an indicator for margin of error. I think the numbers were already askew when i viewed the results the other day

Just maxed out range amplification and fitted my first complex amp. Wow. I didn't think another 5m would make much difference, but it really does!
Just wondering if anyone knows the progression for stacking amps? From my rough calc it was 43.5 for 1, 63 for 2, and 91 for 3 for a minmatar scout. Wasn't sure if stacking penalties applied.

So I seem to have run into several proto gal scouts with 4 complex plates today.
That certainly is a lot of HP. But really. Only 1 of them got me in a 1v1. The guy got the drop on me from behind, while I was out of ammo on my secondary weapon, which was out. So I had to turn around and start shooting him. Somehow he ate through an entire clip from a rail rifle- I attribute this to the terrible stat of the game which I blame on Fan Fest- and popped me with 157 HP left.
I hold nothing against these kids for playing the way they want. I'm just irked that hit-detection seems to have fallen down a level or two again.
A-I Amarr, Logistics, and Sentinel, C-I Assault, Commando, Scout, and Sentinel, G-I Scout. No problem taking on those 4x complex armor plate Scouts.
M-I Scout is the only one I have issues taking them on with.
Actually. **** this game. Hit detection is such a huge problem. I've launched a full clip into people several times today and was unable to do even a third of what the gun was supposed to do. getting him markers for all of them...

Well my home server is the Oceanic server, so if there is lag problems I've been living with them this entire time.... I think there may be some issues, being that when I watch videos of people playing I see them do stuff that always seems to get me killed. Strafing doesn't seem to work as well for me. |
