Sabre Hyper-Impulse

posted on February 16th, 2011, 10:56 pm

I don't like the "cover fire" being used for other Sabres.  The whole reason I use Hyper-Impulse is so that weapons almost always miss, but this cover fire being used to protect the other Sabre's defeats the purpose of using Hyper-Impulse (which is to dodge weapons).  I like how it protect the support vessels, but I don't want it to be used to protect other Sabre's.

You don't like it, huh?

How exactly does it defeat the purpose of the HI? I don't see a problem with making another Sabre hit a bit harder, which can be useful.

I don't want may not be the best way to open a thread...

somebody annoy you today and put you in a bad mood? there was no need for that bitter sarcasm. you come accross as offensive

@tcr, you probably elicit this sort of negative response because of the way you have posed your request, you have simply stated something you dont like, and although i dont think you intended it to come accross bad, it sounds like you expect things to be done your way  :blush: i think if you worded your idea threads better it would come accross friendlier.

about the idea, hyper impulse only gives u pulse and torp percentage avoivdance.

cover fire gives u all weapon avoidance, and the more sabres nearby that have hyper impulse on, the more that can trigger cover fire on other sabres.

Today I feel like being concise.

  Besides, you really think there's reasoning to be done here?

Sorry about the way I posted it.

Could cover-fire be modified so that Sabre's only take extra hits when protecting the support vessels?

What on earth do you mean?  Sabers don't "take extra hits" in any situation...

The current system of giving cover fire to other ships is brilliant because it allows the strength of the ability to scale as the number of ships grows.  How do you want it to change?

I have the bad feeling, he misunderstood coverfire.
For me it sounds like he is thinking with coverfire a sabe will soak the fire of the enemy ships up to protect other ships.
I could be wrong but "defeats the purpose of using Hyper-Impulse" and "Sabre's only take extra hits when protecting the support vessels" sounds like that.

It is more like covering fire with an MG. The Saber won't take extra hits, other ships (and itself???) will take no! hits for a short time even from beam weapons. But nobody will be hit more often.

You respond to EVERYTHING.  Even the tiniest minute detail that you don't feel is 100% accurate you post on and 'correct'.


  However, here I will throw my hands above my head and say:

"I surrender, Officer Myles!  Don't shoot!  Please!  I have a family!"

i only respond to things i feel are worthwhile. the thing is, there are rarely threads that arent worthwhile.

and how can you talk, you correct people as well

everyone knows the worst sin to commit on the internet is to be incorrect . especially on a forum, a forum's purpose is talking. it wouldnt be a forum if everybody stopped posting, it would be a download host for the game.

i dont know what on earth you are talking about.

(about the weight of a scube in space)

you wanna start that again? you know we disagree on it. if u wanna debate about it more, dont use weasel tactics like that, openly try it. i enjoy a debate and would be happy to do so
